Why Not Spare Me, My Canary

After losing her family, former noble Lin Shuyan transforms into a night-singing courtesan to seek revenge by approaching the young marshal Pei Shen, the son of her enemies. Auctioned into a golden cage, she is eventually bought by Pei Shen, who views her as a substitute for his lost love, unaware that she is actually his deceased fiancée. Pretending to submit as a concubine, she secretly investigates and discovers that her former lover, 'Ah Zao', may still be alive and is likely the true mastermind behind the family massacre. As layers of conspiracy unfold, she uses emotion as a weapon, moving strategically to make all those who wronged her pay with their lives, forcing the powerful to beg for mercy.
