The One Who Stole the Sandalwood

[Complete] Alluring Princess x Avenger Yi Mei was born into a wealthy family and possessed peerless beauty. Her motto in life was: “There’s nothing I can’t get my hands on, and no man I can’t win over.” Her friends always laughed at her, saying she was used to being pursued, so what right did she have to make such bold claims? Yi Mei had someone draw up a list of names and hang it on the dartboard at a bar. She tipped back three shots of tequila, then threw a dart. It struck a name. Before she even looked, Yi Mei set down her last glass. “I’m going back home for the New Year in three months. That’s all the time I have.” When they met again five years later, the man’s fortunes had soared. He was now one of the city’s rising elite. He looked at her even more coldly than before, fiddled with his black onyx cuff links, and asked, “What? Was using me and walking away back then not enough? Now Miss Yi wants to play with me for a few more months?” [Reading Guide] 1. Not for readers who require both leads to have no prior sexual experience: they do not. 2. Happy ending. 3.

The roguish rich boy and the Cinderella: everyone was waiting to see Yu Zhen get dumped in spectacular fashion. They did break up, but it was Nie Shengchi who braved the pouring rain and chased after Yu Zhen, stopping the taxi outside her home just as it was taking her to the airport. -2 Seven years later, in a dark alley at night, Nie Shengchi stood beneath a streetlamp and blocked her way. His voice was clenched with lingering resentment as he said, “Come back to me.” Yu Zhen looked straight into his eyes in the shadows. “Aren't you afraid I'll use you again?” Nie Shengchi stepped from the light into the darkness. As his kiss and arms held her captive, she heard him say, “Then use me. Zhenzhen, use me for the rest of your life. I’ll always be useful.” -3 Late-night snacks. Sometimes they are emotional comfort: if you don’t eat one, it feels like a cat is scratching at your heart, and you toss and turn all night. Sometimes they’re just a way to pass the long night, not important enough to count as a meal, and entirely optional. Also known as Menu Recital -How can one while away the endless night? Love is how.
