The Duke's Cage

The year war swept through the kingdom, the Iron-Blood Duke Li Hanyuan found a golden-eyed girl in the rubble and named her Su Nian. He brought her back to that gloomy ducal mansion, calling her his adopted daughter to the world, yet behind closed doors he smothered her with an airtight possessiveness. As Su Nian grew, confusion began to surface in those dawn-warm eyes of hers — she was grateful he had saved her life, but she also sensed, faintly, that this "fatherly love" was so heavy it suffocated her. What she did not know was that the old wound deep in Li Hanyuan’s heart had long since festered, and he had made Su Nian the only remedy to fill the void, allowing no one to touch her, never permitting her to leave.
