To Cage a Sculptor's Heart

Adrian Foster, a sculptor and the puppet heir to the Foster Group, navigates with a docile mask between his controlling brother Lucian Foster and the venture capital queen Skyler Sullivan. Lucian, adopted by the Fosters in his childhood to serve as Adrian's "blood bank," has seized control of the Foster Group amid the twisted dynamics of abuse and protection, all while being secretly manipulated by potent toxins administered by Adrian's biological father, **Vincent Chase**, who has been presumed dead for years. Seizing the opportunity when Skyler investigates the unusual stock movements of the Foster Group, Adrian lays his trap, using his broken vulnerability to ignite her desire for conquest. As the two join forces to short the Foster Group, a car accident robs them of their memories. In his confused state, Adrian rediscovers his childhood bond with Lucian. However, upon regaining his memory, he uncovers that his biological father is the ultimate mastermind, the ringleader of a past antique smuggling case, now manipulating financial markets through counterfeit artifacts. With Skyler's redemption, Adrian undergoes a triple transformation: he wages financial warfare to crumble his father's wealth barrier, utilizes his artistic genius to expose artifact forgery and clear his mother Elaine Stone's name, and finally achieves reconciliation with the critically ill Lucian. The obsessive brother guards "the blue iris he nourished with his own flesh and blood" until his last breath
