Visit my profile to read it.] Fu Ziyan, Prince of Jingyang, is uninhibited and spends his days flirting with women. He's the capital's most notorious playboy. After he teased a young woman from the countryside, she slapped him. Now that was interesting. Fu Ziyan had never been treated like that before. Women had always thrown themselves at him. Fu Ziyan had been with countless women. In his eyes, the girl called Yanyan was no great beauty, and he hadn't been interested in her at first. But he'd changed his mind. Yanyan huddled in a corner, trembling as she looked at Fu Ziyan. The man knelt on the bed, his back straight, gazing down at her like a lofty, cold, and merciless god. Terrified, Yanyan pleaded timidly, "Don't come any closer. I'll call for help." Fu Ziyan smiled, all flirtatious charm, then leaned over her. He gripped her chin and whispered in her ear, "Go ahead and call. Let's see who comes to save you." Tears welled in Yanyan's eyes, making her look like a pitiful little rabbit. "Your Highness, please let me go. I promise I won't hit you again." Fu Ziyan's lips curved in a carefree, mocking smile. With a teasing touch, his long fingers brushed aside her hair. "I've realized that the more you hit me, the more I like you. If you'll serve me, I'll give you gold and silver, jewels, clothes, and accessories. Whatever you want, I'll give you." * Ruan Yanyan is a romantic innocent who strictly observes the boundaries between men and women and has never been with a man.

She thinks their feelings are mutual, until she hears him say mockingly to someone else: "How could I possibly like that stupid woman? I was just playing with her. I didn't expect her to get the wrong idea." * Fu Ziyan has been feeling restless lately. Yanyan has suddenly become like a different person: cold, distant, and indifferent to him.
