Butterflies in the Harbor Night

My new novel, Harbor Sleep: A Romantic Night, is now out!

A series of love-and-hate couples in my profile. Please add them to your reading list!

Preorder: Forbidden Play. An addictive personality and a powerful man from Beijing's elite circles who goes mad for love.

When Shen Xianyue was nineteen, she did two things.

First, she left the Chen family of Jingbei, who had raised her for years, and went away to study.

Second, she got a boyfriend.

Her boyfriend was the Chen family's eldest son's sworn brother, and she was very satisfied with him.

On the day they officially started dating, she returned to the Chen home to prepare for her new plans. But the man came toward her step by step and leaned his head close to sniff the air beside her...

"A Yue."

"You smell like someone else."

In that moment, Shen Xianyue caught a familiar emotion in her "brother's" eyes.

It was the same way her boyfriend had looked at her when they kissed passionately.

1. Ning Li met a hungry wolf wearing the skin of a refined gentleman in a world of glittering nightlife and wealth.

At their first meeting, the man's hands, which could turn stone into gold, poured tea for her. His rimless glasses lent him an air of refinement and nobility, but the sharp eyes behind them revealed his possessiveness.

The man's sleeve rode up, and his watch flashed a cold glint that stung Ning Li's eyes. It was the watch that had set a new record for luxury watches at a Hong Kong auction.

Their gazes accidentally met. Ning Li's heart raced as the man parted his lips and said calmly, "Miss Ning, I don't have much patience."

Neither of them expected their initially straightforward business arrangement to turn into a game of contracts so quickly. Neither had pure intentions, and Ning Li was only playing around.

2. When the game ended, Ning Li grew bored and left without looking back.

They met again later. Wen Ziliang wore a bespoke K-50 suit, the antique pocket-watch chain on his vest glimmering softly. He seemed withdrawn and distant.

Ning Li had been away from Hong Kong for months, and Wen Ziliang hadn't dared to disturb her.

The man who always had the final say lowered his head to her, carefully presenting her with a priceless jade carving.

"It suits you."

Ning Li knew the subject well. It was the tattoo on the small of her back: a blue morpho butterfly.

When she looked up again, she fell into the man's exhausted eyes, bloodshot and utterly haggard.

She still remembered how humbly Wen Ziliang had begged her to stay before they parted ways.

3. That same year, at a mansion on the Peak:

Someone taunted Wen Ziliang, saying he was just one of many men who wanted to marry Ning Li.

Wen Ziliang grabbed the man's throat and warned him gently:

"You brought this on yourself."

Ten minutes later, the man, still wearing his refined expression, held Ning Li in his arms like a lone wolf with a broken leg.

"He used you to threaten me. What was I supposed to do?" His voice was full of pain, and Ning Li was a mess of confusion.

At that moment, Ning Li suddenly realized... she couldn't resist this man's vulnerability.

She understood:

This man was putting on an act, all to stir her desire to pity him.

*

Ning Li had no idea how agonizing those few months had been for the man while she was in trouble.

[He was born into a desolate wasteland, so he wanted the blue morpho butterfly he had taken to dance forever in his hands.]

Also known as: A Tycoon, but He Turned Himself into a Max-Level Green Tea.

Blurb dated July 9. Both are each other's first and only, happy ending.

Over-the-top, wish-fulfillment romance. The writing isn't great, and everyone has different deal-breakers. The author isn't from a Cantonese-speaking region, so princesses, please enter at your own risk and protect your reading credits. Also, the characters only smoke after entering the smoking area, hehe.

The story has a clear moral compass, and all the villains will face the consequences of the law.

The opening has been rewritten several times. The author is only responsible for the official edition. Writing is hard, so please don't steal it. Support the official version.

Please don't compare the story to real life. I bow and thank you.

Theme: Bring intangible cultural heritage to the world.
