// Rekindled romance after a breakup && intense push and pull

// Refined, cool, and impossible to resist × radiant, flirtatious, and dangerously beautiful

// Incense industry mogul × female celebrity

When they meet again, he's engaged to someone else, while she's become the cheapest bait in someone else's trap.

-

At first glance, the two seem to have nothing to do with each other.

One is a decisive incense company CEO who plots on a grand scale.

The other is a drifting celebrity who uses herself as bait.

They meet again on a cruise ship, distant and indifferent, as if they'd never known each other.

No one would guess they once lived under the same roof six years ago, and were lovers caught up in a passionate romance.

She was his one and only muse. He created fragrance after fragrance to capture her most captivating side.

They defied convention at an age when they had no power to change anything.

But in the end, she let go of his hand without hesitation, left for another place, and cut off all ties.

Everyone in high society knows Jiang Chengyu for his ascetic lifestyle.

That is, until Jiang Chengyu overrules everyone's objections and gives the endorsement for Jiang He Fragrances' newest perfume, "Guanyin," to the unknown Yin Pan.

Yin Pan is forced by her agent to show up at the commercial shoot.

The man who said just yesterday that they didn't know each other casts off his cool, detached demeanor.

He corners her against the wall, running his fingertips over her waist, the nape of her neck, the corner of her eye, and finally her moist, red lips.

"I have nothing to ask for. I only want you to love me. I only want you."

"If I remember correctly," Yin Pan says, her eyes gentle and wistful, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you still engaged?"

"I broke it off a long time ago. Don't tell me you didn't know," he says hoarsely.

Their near-suffocating kisses, panting, and the wet sounds between them send both their body temperatures soaring.

Once again, they indulge in private and lose themselves in the depths.

[Extra scene]

They say that the latest fragrance created by incense prodigy Jiang Chengyu is precious. There's only one bottle in the whole world.

But that one and only bottle gets knocked to the floor during someone's passionate actions on a beautiful spring night.

Yin Pan looks at the "mess on the floor," deeply regretful.

"Focus," Jiang Chengyu says, pulling her back into his arms and holding her tight. "It doesn't matter."

"I gave you this fragrance just to tell you: love me tonight, or never."

· This book, Lull You to Sleep, will be released in January or February!

At twenty-one, Yu Xian sets foot on her homeland's soil for the first time in eighteen years.

She crosses half the globe to find her older brother, whom she shares both parents with but hasn't seen in years.

At the airport in Yuancheng, Yu Xian spots someone holding a sign with her name on it and hurries over without a second thought.

She tugs at the corner of a man's clothes. "Hello, big brother."

"Your big brother's over here," Yu Heng says, pulling his sister away from the stranger she's mistaken for him. "And I'm not very nice, either."

Yu Xian forgets all about the touching reunion after a long journey.

All she remembers is the man's cool, pure voice, like tea brewing beneath falling snow, when she grabbed his clothes.

He seems to laugh, then gently takes her sleeve and makes her let go. "You've got the wrong person, young lady."

Then, for no apparent reason, he adds:

"I'm Chen Yixun."

-

Chen Yixun, twenty-seven, is a professor of criminal psychology at Yuancheng Public Security University. He's successful, tall, handsome, and a highly educated gentleman with a warm, polished manner.

Yu Xian needs a marriage.

Chen Yixun perfectly matches all her standards, and since he's close at hand, he should be easier to win over.

So she keeps using her brother as an excuse to fuss over Chen Yixun.

The man turns her down every time.

"Yu Xian, there's no point wasting your time on me."

Yu Xian denies it. "Time is money, but no amount of money can buy the pleasure of doing as I please."

"Yu Xian, you don't understand what kind of person I am."

"..."

-

Chen Yixun thinks Yu Xian is a delicate rose, someone to coax, cherish, and nurture.

But when the rose slips from his palm, its thorns dig deep into his flesh.

The ache is sour and bitter, and it hurts as if he's bleeding.

When he sees Yu Xian again,

he throws his refined manners and gentlemanly restraint aside. The side of himself he finds so shameful comes out completely, and all he wants is to hold on to her as tightly as he can.

Even if the rose's thorns have already torn his palm to bloody shreds.

"I've changed my mind. Time with you is never wasted."

The man toys with Yu Xian's earlobe, watching her ear slowly turn red. "Let's go home, wife."
