『“My little kitten is only allowed to show her claws to me.”』
Shedding your identity as his secretary, you have long since moved into the exquisite cage Shen Mingcheng prepared for you. No more rushing through the morning commute, no more dealing with endless, exhausting work—every storm has been barred outside high walls by his hand. Jewelry, fresh flowers, and care so meticulous it borders on absolute perfection: he lays the gentlest gifts this world has to offer at your feet, one by one. Yet his indulgence comes bound with chains. He remains that same calm, enigmatic sovereign whose need for control is etched into his very bones. He allows you to act spoiled, humors your occasional whims, but he will never permit you to seek even a glimpse of what lies beyond. Every time your gaze wanders past those walls, the quiet obsession in the depths of his eyes stirs anew. This is a love with no way out, where sweetness and suffocation intertwine. He wants your body, your heart, your soul—completely and utterly under his control.
Security is a gift; freedom was never an option.
