Insisting on the Impossible

The upcoming story The Butterfly Hunter is now open for pre-orders~

The day Si Jin discovers that her fiancé, Shao Chuan, has been cheating, she takes off her last piece of clothing in front of Lu Fangzheng.

“Your God always sends me to you when I’m at my most wretched.”

They share a cigarette, each savoring a moment of emptiness in the long night. “What am I to you?”

He is Adam, with whom she secretly tastes forbidden fruit and walks through the castle corridors in the dead of night. She doesn’t want him exposed to the light.

“Lover.” That is the most fitting answer.

From then on, Lu Fangzheng, president of the Hillsborough Group, flies across the Atlantic and makes the eight-hour journey between China and England to see his secret lover.

-

Si Jin escapes from his castle in England once more, and he pursues her all the way to her office.

The aloof, chaste president everyone knows loosens his tie in private and slips it between her scarlet lips.

“I only do things with you that I find enjoyable, Lu Fangzheng.” She is as radiant as an English rose in May. She winds the end of his tie around her wrist and wipes away his sweat. “Some things can’t be forced.”

Even the most heartless can be moved. “What if I insist?”

Aloof beauty x English gentleman (of Chinese descent)

Upcoming story The Butterfly Hunter

Blurb:

“Though popular in spring, monarch butterflies are poisonous.”

Wen Song is a famous auditor in Xiacheng: professional, capable, unbeatable, and… beautiful.

She is like a monarch butterfly, flitting through a garden in search of her favorite plant, stopping briefly to rest before taking what she needs from it.

Of course, sometimes a plant wants to keep her. She shows him the middle finger of her left hand. “Sorry, someone already has a claim on this.”

An old iron ring, with an ugly, clumsy-looking otter on it. She has worn it for seven years.

If she takes it off and opens its interlocking parts, she can find a little sand from the Plymouth coast inside. It is her deepest secret.

-

Qi Zhao is the youngest son of the president of the Rodriguez Group. Unfortunately, he is illegitimate.

Darkness, damp, fog, and London’s endless rain make up the first twenty years of his life.

Until he meets Wen Song.

“The toxins of monarch butterflies accumulate in their abdomens and wings. Clever predators seem to know this and avoid those parts of the butterfly.”

They caress each other in a bright house, tangle together on a sheepskin rug, and sink into the bathtub together until dawn, until the London sunlight falls on the garden.

Until he has to part from the butterfly.

-

Their reunion seven years later is a predator’s scheme. He intends to keep the monarch butterfly trapped in a London garden forever.

And the monarch butterfly keeps him trapped inside that old ring.
