    The first book mainly tells the story of Shen Yueyao's uncle, and also explains how the second book's story unfolds; they are sister books. You can read "Submission" first. My favorite of the Shen Tinglan x Xu Fuxi stories is the second one. It's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. He Yunxing uses a jade pendant to win over Shen Yueyao. From "I'm not interested in you" to a humiliating revelation, it's a story of a Hong Kong heir and the eldest daughter of the Shen family. The female lead is a spoiled and capricious woman. People in the industry always think the He and Shen families' marriage is just a business arrangement, a fake couple, but later they discover it's all just rumors. Shen Yueyao always calls He Yunxing a dog of a man, but no matter how spoiled she is, He Yunxing always indulges her. "Don't call me Rabbit." "Okay, Rabbit." "He Yunxing, you calling me Rabbit is one thing, but now you've got a rabbit tattooed on your body. Are you obsessed with rabbits?" He always called her Rabbit, his exclusive nickname. Later, Shen Yueyao pricked her hands countless times trying to embroider a rabbit for He Yunxing, unaware that his childhood wasn't happy. After learning about his past, Shen Yueyao was heartbroken and cried. From then on, she was his family, and she would love him dearly. Later, when Shen Yueyao had an accident, He Yunxing, who didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, willingly knelt down and prayed for her lifelong peace.
