Menacing

Coming soon: Waiting for Spring's Mud. Blurb below.

Everyone says the young master of the Wei family is cold and sinister. His mother died when he was fifteen, and he didn't shed a single tear.

Everyone fears Wei Xun. The only one who has followed him around since childhood, trotting after him everywhere, is the Wen family's little princess, Wen Qing.

Everyone thinks it's only a matter of time before he kicks the little princess to the curb.

Until one day, someone sees this:

The aloof boy is crouched in a corner, clutching a newborn kitten by the neck, his eyes full of vicious intent.

The little princess climbs onto his back and leans close to his ear. "Wei Xun, aren't these kittens adorable?"

The viciousness in the boy's eyes vanishes at once. He glances at the kitten with distaste. "Yeah, they're pretty cute."

Wei Xun walked through darkness until he met Wen Qing.

The girl has bright eyes and pearly teeth, and she's always smiling at him.

She says, "Wei Xun, everyone is afraid of you, but I believe in you."

Wei Xun, heir to the most powerful family in the city, is proud and refined, the object of every socialite's admiration. But everyone knows he has a woman he cherishes above all else, and no one can lay a finger on her.

At a banquet, a famous actress invites Wei Xun to dance, only to be coolly rejected. "I only dance with my wife."

And so, that night, everyone sees the gloomy, refined man gently clasp the Wen family's little princess by her slender waist, as if he could devour her whole.

A genuinely sinister powerful man x a genuinely kind little princess

Next story: Waiting for Spring's Mud

Blurb: Sang Xu is the toughest person Chi Yan has ever met. Though she was born into the entertainment industry, she's so clean-cut she seems to have an obsession with cleanliness.

Chi Yan was born with every advantage, proud and arrogant, and loves to have fun.

Chi Yan teaches Sang Xu how to survive in the entertainment industry, helping her win major awards and make a name for herself.

Sang Xu thinks Chi Yan loves her, until one night at a banquet, she returns from touching up her makeup and accidentally overhears Chi Yan talking with a friend.

"You're so gentle with Sang Xu. Don't tell me you've fallen for her?"

Sang Xu's heart tightens. Then she hears Chi Yan reply unhurriedly, "Would you fall in love with one of your bargaining chips? If I'm not gentle, will she do what she's told?"

Only later does Sang Xu learn that she was merely the subject of a bet between Chi Yan and someone else: whether someone like her could make it in the entertainment industry.

Chi Yan wins the bet, but Sang Xu turns and leaves, disappearing from the entertainment industry for good.

That night, everyone says Chi Yan has gone mad. He refuses an arranged marriage and searches the whole world for a woman named Sang Xu.

When they meet again after a long separation, Sang Xu wears a white mermaid gown. Her radiant smile makes Chi Yan's vision swim. She has her arm linked with the most famous musical prodigy in the entertainment industry, and everyone says they're a perfect match.

On a cold, lonely night, in a corridor striped with alternating light and shadow, with rain pouring down outside, Chi Yan pins Sang Xu tightly against the wall and kisses her until she can barely breathe.

Sang Xu struggles to turn away, panting as she warns him, "Mr. Chi, please behave yourself. I have a boyfriend."

Chi Yan's expression darkens, and he becomes even more domineering. "Sang Xu, leave him, or you know what will happen to him."
