Heart Hunt in the Gilded Cage

share time: 2026-02-06 12:30:48

Lin Wantang, a wealthy heiress trapped in her family’s marriage scheme like a bird in a gilded cage, meets Lu Zhaonian—a corporate spy who infiltrates her life to steal confidential documents. But as he gets close, he discovers her hidden dream: she secretly draws sketches of mountain villages, longing to escape and paint. Instead of deceiving her, he starts protecting her—covering for her when she skips family meetings, defending her from a forced engagement at her birthday party. When Lin finds out his identity, Lu pulls out her sketchbook (hidden in his suit pocket for weeks) and confesses, “I came to hunt for profit, but I lost my heart the moment I saw you painting roses in the garden.” The line between manipulation and protection blurs, and the hunter who once aimed for gain ends up being captured by the very “prey” he was supposed to exploit.
