Hello, Fancy a Robbery?

[Blunt female thief x touch-starved, possessive prince]

(Pseudo) coercive romance | groveling arc | touch starvation

The female thief Kuang Xingye takes a bounty: abduct the young lord of the Langya Wang clan for his looks.

The lure of a thousand taels of gold convinces her to risk it all for one big score.

Good news: she pulls off the abduction. Bad news: she takes the wrong person.

Worse still, her target is the third prince, who despises being touched. Everyone who gets too close to him dies a violent death.

She looks at the man lying beside her, his body covered in red marks from her grip, and has only one thought:

Run!

-

Xingye goes to great lengths to sneak into Langya Manor and becomes the real young master's personal maid.

This time, she's right there under his roof, with moonlit nights and flowers in bloom. Surely she won't get the wrong person again?

At the end of the year, Langya Manor hosts a banquet attended by all the noble families. Rumor has it the new master of the Eastern Palace is there, too.

The young master drinks too much and drunkenly rubs up against Xingye.

She seizes her chance, just as she's taken off the young master's clothes to get down to the business of abducting him for his looks, when the doors suddenly fly open.

"Get lost! Can't you see we're..."

Xingye turns around and meets a pair of eyes cold as ice.

The chill from the three-foot blade cuts to the bone. Zhao Cen approaches slowly, sword in hand, wearing a strange and dangerous smile.

"What are you doing? Hmm?"

-

Zhao Cen has an unspeakable secret: he craves human skin intensely.

His mother, the empress dowager, considers him a shameless monster, and he keeps himself shackled by propriety.

Until one night, a little thief brazenly crossed the line.

From then on, he got a taste for it and couldn't bring himself to let go...

#What do you do after abducting the wrong guy for his looks? Asking for a friend. Please answer ASAP.

#She resisted at first, but he was just offering too much.
