Bewitching Your Heart

Age Gap, Nurturing [A Restraint-Filled, Ascetic Statesman x A Beautiful, Delicate, and Obsessive Young Woman]

Ji Yan is the Grand Chancellor, a man whose power reaches across the court. Proud and noble, he carries himself with gentle refinement, but beneath that calm exterior lies a sharpness he never shows. Few dare approach him.

Until one day, at the request of an old friend, Ji Yan brings home a frail little girl who is often ill. He is cool and detached by nature, but treats Yun Yi with exceptional tenderness, even personally teaching her to read and study.

Sweet and lovable, Yun Yi wins Ji Jiaze's heart at first sight. She is the little girl his Sixth Uncle brought home. Sadly, she soon leaves the capital. When they meet again, Yun Yi stands behind Sixth Uncle and gives him a gentle curtsy, sweetly calling him, "Fourth Brother."

From then on, Ji Jiaze can never let her go.

Later, he begs Sixth Uncle to arrange a marriage proposal for him. Ji Yan gives no definite answer and simply tells him to go home first.

That night, Ji Yan corners Yun Yi in a secluded spot. Her eyes brim with an irresistible coquettishness, like a bewitching little demon, but her voice sounds utterly innocent. "What do you mean by this, my lord?"

The ever-gentle man is overcome by a towering rage. "You climbed into my bed, and you still dare to go after someone else?"

Ji Yan seems to smile, but there is not a trace of mirth in his eyes. "It's my fault... I've indulged you far too much all along."

Highlights:

1. The heroine is a little lunatic, a little lunatic, a little lunatic! Obsessive, starved for love, and extremely selfish. The hero loves her unconditionally.

2. There is a 14-year age gap between the leads. The heroine has a coming-of-age arc, and they only fall for each other after she comes of age.

Coming Soon: Jade Waist as Bait

Gu Xueyan once had a past she dared not remember. Clinging to a sliver of hope, she waited in peace for her wedding. But a great fire broke out just before the ceremony, turning a joyous occasion into a funeral.

Xie Ce enters the mourning hall and comforts his grief-stricken elder brother. "The dead cannot come back to life."

As the Gu family makes funeral arrangements for Gu Xueyan, in a villa on the outskirts of the city, the "dead" Gu Xueyan weeps like falling pearls and desperately begs Xie Ce, "Please, let me go. I beg you."

Xie Ce binds Xueyan's hands and kisses away her tears, one by one. "Didn't I tell you not to marry him?" His voice is tender to the extreme as he murmurs softly, "Let you go? Dream on."

Xie Ce has coveted the woman his elder brother loves for a long time. Since he cannot win her through other means, he has no choice but to take her by force.

Coming Soon: The Princess and the Eunuch

Wu Yue is an unloved princess who lives in a remote, neglected palace and eats coarse buns even the palace maids turn their noses up at.

Even so, she gives half a bun to the little eunuch lying half-dead in a corner.

Wu Yue pokes him with a finger. "Wake up. Eat this half, then go die somewhere farther away, okay? I'm scared."

Xie Wuxing wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth, where he was beaten, takes the half bun from Wu Yue, and staggers out.

Wu Yue breathes a sigh of relief, but the next day, the little eunuch comes back.

Feeling wronged, Wu Yue breaks her bun in half. "This is all I have, too."

Who could have known that the little eunuch would grow more and more greedy, wanting to claim everything that belonged to her?

Wu Yue kicks him, tears glistening in her eyes. "How can you be so unreasonable? I'm not giving you any more!"

She had raised an ungrateful wretch.

Xie Wuxing pulls her into his arms and gently licks away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Nonchalantly, he says, "You're only saying you won't give me anything now? Too late, Princess."

*

Xie Wuxing went from a stray dog everyone could beat and berate to a powerful eunuch who holds all authority and inspires fear in everyone. Long ago, the filthy world had twisted him into something dark and warped.

Wu Yue alone is the spotless, radiant moon in his heart.

And yet he is so vile that he wants to keep the moon all to himself.
