Spring Pool Rising

[Complete. Just 13 yuan~ Thanks for supporting the official release]

Powerful, refined villainous daddy type x frail, sickly beauty, parasitic vine (strangling) villainess

Shen Tu, the richest man in Shangcheng, dies suddenly overnight. His only daughter, who is studying in the United States, is kept in the dark about his death by her three uncles, all of whom are eyeing the family fortune.

Christmas is approaching in Boston. The wind is bitter, and snowflakes whirl through the air.

On an otherwise ordinary day, Shen Yuwu is heading home after class when a group of well-trained bodyguards blocks her path.

Beneath the falling snow, she meets Xie Hancheng for the first time.

The man wears gold-rimmed glasses and a long black coat. He strides through the snow-covered streets of Boston and stops before her. His cold hand lifts her chin, and though his voice is cool, his tone is gentle. "Miss Shen Yuwu, you have very beautiful eyes. You're easy to recognize."

They meet in the depths of winter, yet they burn hotter than anyone.

-

The man named Xie Hancheng brings her news of her father's death and a will.

Her father wrote the will himself, and the condition for inheriting his estate is that she marry the man standing before her, who is ten years older than she is.

But Shen Yuwu has already been considering another candidate for marriage: a golden-curled young man of Chinese descent from Canada.

The man takes the photo she gives him and lets out a soft laugh. A silver lighter clicks in his hand. He cups his hands to light a cigarette and smiles faintly. "Miss Shen, are you saying you want to marry my nephew?"

-

Everyone in Shangcheng knows that the daughter of the richest man in the Shen family has been sickly since childhood. She was taking medicine before she even learned to eat. After Shen Tu's death, word spreads that Shen Yuwu is marrying Xie Hancheng, and many people are left dumbfounded.

At a banquet, a busybody strikes up a conversation with Xie Hancheng and remarks that the sickly heiress went to study in the United States just to make it easier to get treatment.

"So?" the man asks, raising an eyebrow, his gaze cold. "Do you think I can't afford to support her?"

That night, Shen Yuwu hears about it.

The young lady asks with displeasure, "Why did you say you'd 'support me'? Am I poor?"

The man laughs and placates her. "No little kitty, I was just saying that for appearances. Let me save face."

She lets him save face, but he doesn't return the favor.

-

After an accidental bout of high fever, Shen Yuwu is left with severe aftereffects.

Whenever she gets a high fever, she thinks she's a cat raised by Xie Hancheng.

Like a cat, she curls up in his arms, wanting his attention, caresses, and praise.

He even has a cat teaser custom-made for her.

Watching her almond-shaped eyes glisten and her cheeks flush, he whispers maliciously, "Kitten, who am I?"

He bullies her without mercy, and she uses him just as mercilessly.

·She is a parasitic vine, clinging to a flourishing tree, drawing nourishment from it, then slowly strangling it.

·He is willing to die for her.

[Next book] Stealing the Harvest

1.

An Sui first meets Zhou Ze at the W Club's victory celebration.

He sits quietly in a corner, hood up and headphones on, playing a game, looking nothing like someone who just won a championship.

For work, she tries to get close to Zhou Ze and brings him a drink, but one of his teammates warns her, "Sister An Sui, Brother Ze doesn't drink..."

She pauses, about to switch it for tea, when the young man's hot hand closes around her wrist. He drinks it from her hand.

As he drinks, the young man stares at her, his dark eyes full of possessiveness.

Nineteen-year-old Zhou Ze's bangs hide his eyes, concealing the look of a wild wolf in his gaze.

At the time, An Sui never imagined she'd have such a reckless night with this nineteen-year-old boy.

Once she sobers up, she resets their relationship to zero.

Later, the W Club suffers a shocking upset, and Zhou Ze, its captain, is dragged through the mud on Weibo's trending topics.

When An Sui sees the hashtag #ZhouZeAmateurChampion, she has just gotten home from work.

The young man is sitting outside her door. When he sees her, he says nothing and turns to leave.

Like a wounded puppy.

Her heart softens, and she lets him in.

But she has no idea that once he comes in, she won't be able to get him out again.

2.

An Sui never agreed to let Zhou Ze move in. All she planned to do was invite him in for a cup of hot water, nothing more.

The young man is soaked from the rain, dressed in a black T-shirt that outlines his firm abs, and the words telling him to leave get stuck in her throat.

On the first day she takes Zhou Ze in, An Sui thinks she'll let him stay for one night at most.

By the fourteenth day, An Sui thinks: He's handsome, well-endowed, good at housework, and emotionally attentive. What's wrong with letting him stay a few more nights?

3.

When An Sui's ex-boyfriend Cheng Ming'an comes to see her, he runs into Zhou Ze heading downstairs in slippers and casual clothes to buy a T-shirt, looking completely relaxed.

At the convenience store, Cheng Ming'an buys An Sui the yogurt she likes, while Zhou Ze carefully picks out a T-shirt.

Cheng Ming'an recognizes him as the genius young player YING, but has no idea what he's doing there.

Zhou Ze recognizes him as An Sui's ex-boyfriend and knows exactly why he came.

As they're paying, Zhou Ze looks at the yogurt in Cheng Ming'an's hand and says lazily, "She's on her period. She can't have anything cold, so don't buy it."

Cheng Ming'an frowns. "Who?"

Zhou Ze pays for his things, then grins, showing off his canine teeth. "An Sui. My wife."
