The next book, Runaway Yao Yao, part of the Southern Chu series. [Two-faced ingenue VS suit-wearing outlaw, ruthless villain] [Twists of fate | Using each other | Extreme push and pull | Boxing dynasty] Before her father died, he received a phone call from Jiang Zhixian, the man who holds power over Zongheng. Chen Yao gets to the bottom of the suspicious circumstances and willingly enters the Jiang family to avenge her father. On her first night at the family's home in Yuning, she grits her teeth and waits in the darkness for the perfect chance to strike. She is about to lift the pillow when a pair of scorching hands seize her. Jiang Guiyi's breathing is unsteady, his voice low and hoarse. "That kind of trick isn't enough to take down that old bastard Jiang Zhixian." Sweat trickles over her flushed cheek. Chen Yao opens her eyes, trembling. The man is dressed in a suit and tie, yet his face is so beautiful it borders on the bewitching. His phoenix eyes are misted with moisture, his lips red as cinnabar, and his curly black hair is loosely tied low with a cord adorned with dzi beads. He hooks a hand under her jaw. "Call out twice, and I might consider helping you." · Jiang Guiyi is the second young master of Zongheng and Jiang Zhixian's second son. Nicknamed the Charming Ghost, he wears a bare blade at his waist, is ruthless in his methods, and has a heart as venomous as a snake's. Chen Yao does everything she can to work with the devil, but after Jiang Guiyi becomes the head of the Jiang family, he breaks their agreement. She tries everything to escape his control and hides her identity in Liangchuan, becoming a minor actress. One day, she is coerced into attending a drinking party. "Second Master Jiang, see if there's anyone you like." "Her." A pair of icy hands abruptly yanks Chen Yao over. She lands on the man's firm thigh, thick smoke drifting across her face as she swallows. "Yao Yao," Jiang Guiyi says, his callused fingers climbing her neck and stroking it gently. "Did you think that if you got away, I'd never be able to catch you again?" Later. Every billboard in Southern Chu is covered with pictures of the hottest female star. Chen Yao is taken to the top floor of a high-rise. Jiang Guiyi puts an arm around her shoulders, his voice languid. "Big star, do you think Gallop Entertainment will have you? Run again and I'll really kill you." She toys with the dzi bead pendant around her neck and smiles. "Second Master, I've heard that eight hundred times already." Reader's guide: 1. Set in the fictional city of Southern Chu, a city of combat sports. The boxing gyms of the three major schools are backed by three major conglomerates. The story takes place during the Jiang family's internal power struggle; Gallop Entertainment is established later. 2. The heroine is no saint, and the male lead is a career-obsessed, genuinely bad person in the early story. Please read with care if that bothers you. 3. Sweet / both leads are sexually inexperienced / happy ending 4. This series is written for my own enjoyment, so don't impose too many moral expectations. The basic values are sound. Also, the boxing and fighting moves are not professionally researched, so please don't imitate them. New blurb dated December 18, 2023. Theme: Stay true to yourself
