The Little Lily in the Greenhouse

The first time Huo Yin saw Ruan Shiyan, she was sitting by a pond. Her ink-black hair and snow-white skin, and the slight curve of her lips, made her as pure and lovely as a little lily just about to bloom. He fell for her at first sight. Huo Yin brought the little lily home, placed her by a spring, and raised her in a greenhouse. At first, he was content to watch her from afar, unwilling to touch what he treasured. Then he realized that wasn't enough. Not nearly enough. He wanted to possess the little lily and make her his forever. Ruan Shiyan became blind and could no longer see any of the world's beauty. When she fell into Huo Yin's hands, she didn't realize she was in danger at all. She thought of him as an older brother, a senior fellow disciple, and an elder. Later, Ruan Shiyan realized that this intensely possessive man had developed feelings for her that he shouldn't have. He had kept her in his greenhouse for so long that she could never leave again.
