Becoming the Caged Canary of a Forced Love

Gu Nian spent ten years plotting his way to the top. Just as he finally became the “Big Boss,” his health collapsed under the weight of a terminal illness. With the help of Zhou Yi, he underwent a soul transfer to be reborn only to discover, with a start, that this new body looks exactly like his original self. The catch? He has become a “caged canary,” kept as a pet by his former corporate rival. Gu Nian is ruthless, powerful, and steeped in vice; he harbors a visceral hatred for the world. Yet, for the first time in his life, he finds himself tempted by a warmth he has never experienced before. Pei Jichuan made a solemn vow: “I shall overturn the laws of reason and abandon every instinct of restraint. I will stay by your side forever, until the very end of life itself.” For the first time in ages, Gu Nian’s long-frozen heart seemed to skip a beat. However, every moment of intimacy between them peels back a layer of buried memories. Standing between the two of them is the shadow of three lost lives. Gu Nian curls his lips into a smile. His face remains pure and innocent, yet his expression is bone-chilling. He picks up a dagger, watching the piercing cold light glint off the blade’s edge as he returns to his old trade. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Becoming the Caged Canary of a Forced Love — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
