Dream in a Trance

Possessive pursuit / stealing someone’s love / an powerful man eventually bows to love

Mu Wan went to a banquet with her boyfriend. Behind imposing gates and ornate windows lay a deep courtyard, where Qin Jingyao sat in the place of honor. Her boyfriend had repeatedly warned her that his family really did live near the imperial city, and that he had a wild, unpredictable temperament.

Mu Wan felt out of place amid the banquet’s endless toasts. Taking advantage of the alcohol, she went out for some air. Her ring, a gift from her boyfriend, rolled into a crack in the steps.

As she crouched down and searched desperately, she heard a faint clink of metal against metal. She looked up and met a pair of eyes tinged with alcohol.

Mu Wan remembered what her boyfriend had said and greeted him instinctively. “Fourth Brother.”

They were standing far apart. She lowered her head, her voice uncomfortably stiff.

At a dinner he hosted, Mu Wan took his words as a joke and repeated, “I have a boyfriend.”

Qin Jingyao remained composed as he said, “You’ve never tried me. How do you know I’m not better than him?”

They parted on bad terms. Then, one day, Mu Wan received a birthday gift from him: another ring, clearly meant to replace the one she wore.

The courtyard gate swung open. Mu Wan clasped her hands together, never imagining she would ask this man for help.

Through the haze of smoke, Qin Jingyao curled his fingers slightly and smiled carelessly, but his voice was cold. “Break up with him, and we can talk.”

The ring on his finger felt cold. It was clearly a matching set with the one in her hand.

He was like a bewildering dream, trapping her on the road ahead.

New Novel: The Predicament

At H University, rich young men and women are everywhere. Ji Dongyi stared at the supercar parked in front of the academic building, which was worth more than her life, and tried calling the owner.

The man on the other end was ridiculously arrogant. He laughed nonchalantly and told her to move the car herself, or he’d leave it there.

Ji Dongyi had always been afraid to get too involved with people like them. Xu Zhongning, in particular, was unfathomable.

The more she tried to avoid him, the more often Xu Zhongning appeared.

By the time Ji Dongyi came to her senses, she had unknowingly walked right into the trap that had been set for her long ago.

His oversized suit jacket covered her shoulders like a hazy shadow.

Xu Zhongning told her to kiss him of her own accord, and keep going until he was satisfied.

Ji Dongyi’s lips brushed over one of his fingers, pressing hard against the faded rouge on its tip.

Half his face hidden in the darkness, the man smiled faintly. His tone was unmistakably teasing. “Still not convinced? Then why don’t we do it again?”

A gentleman doesn’t take what someone else loves. A villain takes the one they love.

Tips

The male lead is an arrogant, entitled bastard.

Both leads are sexually inexperienced / Happy ending / possessive pursuit / old-school flavor
