Embers

Blurb: Facing Pei Yishuo, a devoted boyfriend who seems to have sprung from a crack in a rock, Xu Yan tried to put up a fight. Her single life of more than twenty years had been pretty comfortable, so how could she let him turn everything upside down in an instant?

Pei Yishuo gave a wicked grin. Once you've climbed into a thief's bed, getting back out isn't that easy!

Actually, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want that person to be her either. Anyone would do, as long as their surname wasn't Xu. But as luck would have it, it was her, leaving him caught between a rock and a hard place.

Reader's Guide Q&A: Mr. Pei, how did you feel when you found out that our Yan Yan's surname was Xu?

Answer: It was like discovering that what I'd always thought was sugar had suddenly turned into arsenic.

Everyone: A moment of silence for you.
