★In the early stage, he is as gentle as jade. In the later stage, he is a paranoid and sinister male protagonist.
At the request of his father, Cai Heng went to the Zhenguogong Mansion to manage the spice storehouse. Every day, he grinded incense, kept accounts, and served the incense affairs of the nobles in the mansion. He was as lawful and self-disciplined as an agarwood tree that never blooms.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yanxiu, the adopted son of the Duke of Zhen, was in charge of the same warehouse as her.
As a last resort, for every furnace of "soothing incense" she made, she had to prepare an extra copy and send it to his courtyard.
Whenever Yu Yanxiu comes back from outside, he can see that slender figure grinding in front of the incense table, with the fingertips stained with incense powder, and the profile of his face is so soft under the candlelight.
Knowing that she only wanted to find out the truth behind her mother's obsession with making incense, his heart trembled inexplicably when he smelled the agarwood incense on her body.
Day after day...
She rummaged through the remnants of the "Traction Incense" from the Western Regions in the spice store, and found her mother's unburned incense recipe in the secret room of his study.
And he, in the "ecstasy" she "customized" for her stepmother, tasted all the crazy background that she had hidden for three years.
He gradually became addicted to the excitement of watching her stir up the turmoil in the house with a burner of incense and drag her enemies into the incense urn one by one. He paranoidly wanted to lock the incense-making hand in his palm forever.
"Ah Heng's incense burns my heart. Why don't you come and burn it for me too?"
