[Straightforward, lively, theatrical little fish spirit × sly, mischievous, seduction-loving White Impermanence]
Nian Xiaoyu, a low-ranking functionary in the Netherworld, gets caught up in the disappearance of the Book of Life and Death. She's also assigned a partner, Bai Wuchang, and the two must work together around the clock to find the book.
She has a secret and only wants to keep her precarious government job.
But she's become entangled, not only in a painful past she'd rather forget, but also with the ghostly man right in front of her, so close she can smell his pleasant fragrance.
His handsome face and suggestive smile are like a hook, drawing her in.
She doesn't understand men, let alone male ghosts.
Not until he takes her hand and dresses her in human clothes.
Looking at the matching outfits they're both wearing, she hears alarm bells in her head. She remembers that humans call this… couple's clothing?

Bai Shu loves watching her eyelashes tremble. Teasing her with words is his tried-and-true way of fishing for a catch.
He just took things too far and accidentally reeled in a real “fish tail.”
Her palms went cold with anger, but she didn't back down. “What now? Are you going to drag me back?”
His gaze darkened, and he even sounded a little hurt. “Do you really have to be so mean to me?”
But inside, he was thinking: Time to change the bait.
So he became the gentlest, most reliable partner, always at her side and willing to do whatever she asked.
Nian Xiaoyu was delighted.
That night, he leaned against the wall of a cave and pretended to sleep.
She watched him for two seconds, then reached straight for his Adam's apple.
*
The Six Realms are in constant turmoil, and the two of them are thrust into the very heart of a conspiracy.
The first secret to come to light isn't Nian Xiaoyu's, but the litany of Bai Shu's crimes.
He lost his nerve and let her walk away. He didn't follow the soul-thread bracelet he'd given her to find her.
But the fish had already taken the bait.
He waited for her “judgment.”
She gave a slight flutter of her lashes and said, “Can I have a hug?”
An adventure about roaming the Six Realms in search of freedom and joy.

Coming-Soon Contemporary Romance: Butterfly Wine
[Plain as water × Flashy as a butterfly]
Ye Xinqiao has two requirements for a “fake boyfriend”: cheap and durable.
She needs a boyfriend with a hopeless-romantic persona to help her reinvent herself as one half of an influencer couple.
Someone offers himself without being asked.
Yan Zhixian spins around with a carefree flourish, showing off a stylish, finely made limited-edition shirt.
Except… the highly saturated red and green are so bright they're about to blind her.
But he's incredibly confident. With a hand on his slim waist, he tilts his head and asks, “So, what do you think of me?”
Ye Xinqiao thinks, Not much, but he's cheap…
She clears her throat. “How's your acting? You have to make it look like you're really in love with me.”
Yan Zhixian leans in sincerely. “But I really am in love with you.”
His handsome face is right in front of her, clean-cut and sexy. His eyes brim with affection, and even when he looks at her expressionless face, he gazes at her with the devotion of someone looking at a lover in the throes of passion.
Ye Xinqiao nods, deciding his acting is convincing enough. For now, she'll add this flashy butterfly to her one-person team as she ventures into social media.
Yan Zhixian gets her approval and nods too, thinking: Good thing I picked this outfit. She really likes it~
The butterfly falls into clear water, only to find it a sweet wine that leaves him delirious with pleasure.
