   Qin Wanlin stopped in front of him, the steam blurring her expression, but her eyes remained clear—unfathomable, like the source of this hot spring, bottomless yet scalding hot. She gave him no time to react. When her warm lips covered his, Shen Xi's mind went blank. Unlike the possessive touch of last night, this kiss was sudden yet not rough, even carrying a gentle patience he dared not imagine. Qin Wanlin's kiss slid from his lips to his chin, then down his neck, disappearing into the water. Her hands gripped his waist, pulling him from the pool wall into her arms. Shen Xi was as limp as melting water, his bones softened by the hot spring, utterly powerless, completely at her mercy.

    The first book's female lead initially mistook the male lead for a BL (Boys' Love) character; the male lead was incredibly obedient, like a puppy. The second book's female lead was a princess; the male lead suffered from "skin hunger" and was extremely delicate, always getting jealous and rushing back to his prince consort's mansion. The more you read, the more exciting it gets. This is the one I highly recommend; I loved reading it!

    Seriously, nobody recommends this book? It's the author of "Spring Banquet's" new book. The male lead is so delicate, and the female lead is so assertive. Later on, the male lead can't even try to win her back. And the butler telling the male lead, "You can never win against a dead person," was hilarious! The writing is great too. I love it so much, I can't find a substitute! [Crying]
