The Maiden's God

[Next novel is now available: Ebony Meets Spring, a rugged man from an ethnic minority x a gentle girl]

[Complete | Superstitious Girl x A God Among Men]

Mu Mian is a transfer student at Chongming Middle School. Because she wears a mask in the middle of summer, people spread rumors that she's sick. She's quiet, withdrawn, and a little superstitious.

Lately, she's had a problem she doesn't dare tell anyone about.

So she writes it on a note and tosses it from the windowsill toward the big banyan tree below. They say wishes come true that way.

By chance, Xie Shiyun walks past just as the paper ball hits him. He unfolds it and sees neat handwriting:

"Hello, Immortal. I'm Mu Mian, and I live on the third floor of Unit Six, Building A..."

The boy gives a derisive laugh. "A cotton tree making a wish to a banyan tree?"

Xie Shiyun is an upperclassman, the popular school heartthrob everyone adores. They have nothing to do with each other, until one day she sees him laughing and chatting with a few thugs in a dark alley, the cigarette in his hand glowing with sparks.

Mu Mian accidentally sees the other side of his perfect facade. Terrified, she tries to flee, but Xie Shiyun blocks her way.

"Do you know the best way to make someone keep a secret?"

Mu Mian clutches the hem of her clothes. "I don't have any money..."

Xie Shiyun smiles. "You have to tell me one of your secrets too."

As he speaks, he removes the mask from the girl's face.

After that, Mu Mian's wish notes keep hitting Xie Shiyun:

"Hello, Immortal. I accidentally found out the heartthrob's secret. What should I do? Will he bully me?"

Xie Shiyun: "...I'm busy."

"Toothache."

Xie Shiyun makes a call. "Bro, get a spot for her at the hospital."

"The basketball team captain looked so handsome today. Will I see him again?"

Xie Shiyun: "No."

"I saw my neighbor's baby today. So cute! Immortal, please give me a baby!"

Xie Shiyun: ?

How is he supposed to help with that...?

"You are a god who commands mountains, rivers, and seas, while I am a girl who shines because our divine paths crossed. May my god remain here forever, with me in his eyes."

[No-nonsense northern horse tamer x soft, fragrant southern jasmine]

Zhou Mo drives a court car out to the grasslands to deliver a summons. From daytime until sunset, she waits for the defendant to return. But the moment he shows up, he hops into a black off-road vehicle and takes off.

She chases him into the heart of the wilderness before finally forcing the car to stop. One pair of handcuffs links her wrist to the man's strong, sinewy one. Just before altitude sickness hits, she gasps, "You're not getting away."

When Zhou Mo wakes up again, she's in a Mongolian yurt lit by a butter lamp. A child is giving her water. Seeing her open her eyes, the child's dark eyes light up, and they shout, "Lou Wangdong, your wife is awake!"

Wait. The defendant Zhou Mo is after isn't named Lou Wangdong.

The man looks over, his eyes deep as ebony. Zhou Mo silently tries to figure out what went wrong, when he says in a low voice, "I don't care what my mother told you, but I don't need a blind date."

Zhou Mo suddenly comes up with a plan to play along. "Help me find someone, and I'll unlock the handcuffs."

Lou Wangdong's eyes darken like a wolf's on the grasslands. "If you don't unlock them, we'll sleep right here tonight."
