The Sparrow's Wish to Perch on the Phoenix Tree

share time: 2026-01-10 00:30:16

Lin Wantang, an ordinary food delivery rider, is forced to impersonate the missing noble lady "Su Que" to marry Gu Yanwu, a business tycoon known as the "phoenix perched on the wutong tree" (a symbol of nobility). She hides her delivery slips and avoids cooking instant noodles, thinking she can fool everyone in this contract marriage—only to discover Gu Yanwu saw through her fake identity from the start: he noticed the delivery app notifications in her sleeve, smelled the scallion pancake scent on her fingers, and even secretly paid her mother's medical bills. When the Su family comes to expose her lie, Gu Yanwu pulls out a three-year-old photo—showing a young Wantang smiling at him with a delivery box. She then realizes: this "sparrow's attempt to perch on the phoenix tree" was never a coincidence—it's a deep affection Gu has been hiding for three years, since that rainy night when she delivered his first meal.
