Ming Jingyu, eldest daughter of the Ming family, was dazzlingly beautiful. Her eyes seemed able to ensnare the soul, and her graceful figure was close to perfection.

Her temper, however, left much to be desired. She was notorious for being willful.

She would even steal her younger sister's fiance.

Ming Jingyu's father intended to marry her off to the Xie family of Lihai, hoping the marriage would bring good fortune to a sick man.

At a banquet, Ming Jingyu got into an argument with someone. They tried to humiliate her and deliberately shoved her.

But she fell into someone's arms.

On an April day, the owner of those arms was wearing a coat of excellent quality.

The hand against her slender waist was cool, and a faint medicinal fragrance clung to him. He spoke in a gentle, refined voice: "Careful."

It was like a beam of light shining into her heart.

He was Xie Qingmu, the head of the Xie family of Lihai.

And he was also the man she was supposed to marry to bring him good fortune.

*

The Xie family of Lihai was known as the "uncrowned king."

Its head, Xie Qingmu, was cool and reserved, yet courteous. Nothing seemed to stir his interest. He was like a Buddhist monk, and rumor had it that he was so sickly he could barely walk three steps without gasping for breath.

He was marrying her only to bring himself good fortune.

An elder of the Xie family had once been a genuine member of the imperial clan, and the family still kept the old rules.

The famously unruly Miss Ming would have a hard time after marrying into the family.

Everyone waited to watch the show.

Ming Jingyu thought so too.

But Xie Qingmu treated her gently and patiently.

Not one person in the Xie family, from top to bottom, gave her a hard time.

Ming Jingyu thought that as a top-tier family, the Xies would at least maintain the appearances they were supposed to.

On their wedding night, Ming Jingyu stated her position. "Mr. Xie, um, since your health isn't up to it, let's sleep in separate rooms."

Xie Qingmu draped his suit jacket over the sofa. Elegantly, he unfastened the buttons on his shirt cuffs, then slowly walked toward her, step by step, as if crossing beams of light to reach her.

He covered his lips with his fist, a faint smile curling at their corners.

Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered her nickname in a gentle, intimate voice. "Yaoyao, who told you that a married couple should sleep in separate rooms on their wedding night?"

A faint scent of alcohol clung to him, making her heart race and her head swim.

*

After their marriage, Ming Jingyu kept wondering:

How could someone who seemed so aloof, like Xie Qingmu, have such a great body?

And be so good at teasing her?

It was so unlike the image he projected in public!

[Blurb]

Fu Xianzheng, CEO of Junyi Group, is cold and indifferent, with a deep, calculating mind. He's known in his circles for putting profit above everything else and showing no human warmth.

In his twenty-six years, he has never been involved in a single rumor.

He has long topped the list of Beijing's most eligible bachelors, and is rumored to be a confirmed bachelor.

One day, Fu Xianzheng personally replied to a post with two words: [Married.]

Everyone was stunned.

Who on earth had managed to get this Mr. Fu to put on a wedding ring?

After a thorough search, they found no trace of her.

Then one day, at Junyi's annual party,

Secretary Li was drunk. Her soft, boneless body leaned against Junyi CEO Fu Xianzheng, and her soft, boneless arms wrapped around his neck. Her little face was flushed as she snuggled against him, her voice coquettish and alluring. "Hubby, my earring's missing. Did you lose it when you kissed me this morning?"

Fu Xianzheng carefully held the girl in his arms and answered softly, "It's not lost. It's in my pocket."

Everyone was speechless.

Fu Xianzheng held the tipsy Li Tang and introduced her gently. "My wife, Li Tang."

Those who knew Fu Xianzheng suddenly remembered!

Wasn't she that soft, sweet little girl from the Li family who used to follow Fu Xianzheng around all the time as a child, calling out "Brother Fu" every other word?

When Li Tang was twenty-two, her family's company ran into a financial crisis. Someone stepped in to resolve it, on the sole condition that the two families bind their interests through marriage.

Li Tang never imagined that Fu Xianzheng would be the one she was to marry.

After reuniting, the second time they met, they were already registered as husband and wife.

*

Li Tang knew that Fu Xianzheng had an unattainable "white moonlight."

After they married, she kept to her place and tried to get by without interfering in his affairs.

Yet Fu Xianzheng's gaze grew more and more unusual, and he kept finding new ways to tease her.

Li Tang hugged her pink pig pillow and complained miserably, "W-what are you trying to do now?"

Fu Xianzheng tossed her little pig aside without ceremony. "I'm holding my wife while we sleep. Do you have a problem with that?"

"..." Li Tang.

Next book: Spoiling Mo

The most improper thing Xia Zhimo ever did was secretly fall for a man.

That man was none other than her nominal "second uncle," Xie Wenchen, the powerful Second Master Xie of the Lihai Xie family.

Everyone said that this Second Master Xie was cold by nature and a confirmed bachelor.

Only she knew how captivating Xie Wenchen could be after falling in love, with those deep, cool eyes of his.

She also knew that this man, who spoiled her rotten, loved neither her nor anyone else.

Later, he got engaged to someone.

It was then that Xia Zhimo decided to leave Lihai and leave his side.

*

Everyone in Lihai who knew Xie Wenchen knew that he kept someone in his heart, a beloved woman who was untouchable.

But that beloved woman never appeared by Second Master Xie's side again.

They said that the cold-hearted Second Master Xie himself had sent her away.

They thought the matter had ended there.

Until one day, the indifferent and heartless Second Master Xie began using threats and enticements to cling to a young woman.

Who else could this young woman be but the little darling he'd held in the palm of his hand and spoiled for years?

The young woman, cornered in a room and being bullied, glared at him with rabbit-like eyes. "I-I warn you! Don't go too far. I can curse you out!"

He raised an eyebrow. "Years apart, and you haven't improved at anything else. You've only gotten more sharp-tongued. And you don't even know how to call me anymore?"

Xia Zhimo kept her flushed little face stiff and snapped, "Second Uncle."

Xie Wenchen had always kept everything in his life under control. If asked what he regretted most, it would be sending away that little rabbit who had once clung to him with all her heart, eyes red with tears.

When they met again, the darling who had once called him "Xie Wenchen" in a childish voice now addressed him properly as "Second Uncle." In those clear, lively eyes, there was nothing but respect and distance for an elder. The tender affection of the past was gone.

The madness buried deep inside him broke through his restraint, like a monster in the dark, growing unchecked until it could no longer be contained.

One late night, the usually cold and indifferent Second Master Xie embraced the girl from behind as she was about to leave, and begged her humbly, "Momo, don't leave my side."

The feelings buried in his heart could no longer be hidden. They grew wildly and vigorously, winding around her until she returned to his side once more.
