A Hall Full of Beauty

A few notes: 1. The blurb has been changed, but the character settings are the same. If that bothers you, feel free to skip this one. 2. Before the novel goes premium, updates will be irregular. The main story will be updated more frequently. Blurb: Huo Rongci is a notorious playboy in the capital. His father is the famous Prince Regent, beloved by the people, but Huo Rongci toys with human lives as if they were in the palm of his hand. He always travels in a sedan carried by eight bearers, uses only the most expensive things, and everyone who sees him trembles with fear and watches every step they take to stay alive. Xie Jiahe hates the way he behaves and detests him so much that even sitting at the same banquet table makes her feel sick. But when Xie Jiahe unexpectedly runs into Huo Rongci, images she has never seen before flash through her mind: her elder sister being sentenced to death, the Xie family being slaughtered, and even her own terrible fate. Terrified, she desperately wants to touch Huo Rongci and learn what happened. But Huo Rongci keeps backing away, refusing to let her touch him. On an autumn night, aboard a boat on the river, Xie Jiahe takes advantage of the rocking vessel to deliberately lean against Huo Rongci as usual. This time, he doesn't dodge. Instead, he grabs her slender wrist, his gaze dark. “Xie Jiahe, I gave you a chance.” Xie Jiahe doesn't understand. Only after Huo Rongci locks her in his arms and leaves her weeping does she realize what kind of chance he had given her. Theme: Strive ceaselessly
