Gentle Cage

Shen Xing and Ling Mo were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were little. On the eve of Shen Xing’s departure abroad, Ling Mo locked her away in this secluded villa. Ling Mo was an orphan who had lacked love and care since childhood. As an adult, he amassed considerable wealth through dubious businesses, but he poured all his obsession into Shen Xing. For three whole months, he used injuries and illness as an excuse, bandaging himself in gauze to win her pity, while chipping away at her will inch by inch with every means at his disposal. Now, Shen Xing stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of the second-floor master bedroom, the red marks from last night’s struggle still lingering on her wrists, and behind her, the familiar sound of footsteps had already begun to echo.
