Caged Bird
On the night when Jiang Cheng returned from his business trip, I pulled out a lipstick-stained flight attendant's business card and a wedding invitation from his suit pocket. I casually tossed them onto the table, but that splash of red was truly eye-catching. I was all too familiar with the name on the wedding invitation. Jiang Pingli—Jiang Cheng's nominal "little uncle," the illegitimate son of the Jiang family who was not well-regarded. He was also my first love. Once, he humbly begged me, "Momo, help me just this once, marry Jiang Cheng."
