The Mysterious Night

[New story now available] The famous Mr. Li comes calling, offering Yuan Yanchu a generous sum to look after his two sons, both seriously injured in a car accident, at his private estate.

The elder son, Li Zongqian, is gentle, refined, and virtuous, but blind.

The younger son, Li Zongheng, is arrogant, unruly, and extremely difficult to please. His lower body is paralyzed.

Mr. Li: "Pay special attention to my disobedient younger son. You only need to check on the elder one each night and make sure he's asleep."

By day, Yuan Yanchu patiently looks after the second young master, whose paralysis has made him violent-tempered. At night, she has to keep the eldest young master company until he falls asleep.

Later, the eldest young master, feeling sorry for her after the second young master gives her a hard time all day, offers her half his bed.

Later still, her relationship with the eldest young master grows increasingly intimate.

It's only natural that after the second young master torments her all day, she should get a little something from the eldest one at night.

–

Li Zongqian looks forward to nighttime more than anything. Though blind, he knows that whenever Yuan Yanchu is upset by his younger brother, she'll hide in his arms at night and cry until she can barely stand.

After losing his sight, his other senses become sharper, like the tremble in her voice when she cries during their kisses, or the delight in her voice when she calls to say that she'll be free as soon as she gets the money.

That's a problem. His silly little darling can't get away.

On the day Yuan Yanchu is supposed to leave the estate, the second young master throws a fit and refuses to let her go. She thinks that if she can just calm him down, she'll finally be free.

Only later does she realize that the person she got involved with from the very beginning, the one she can never shake off, has always been Li Zongqian, the gentle and considerate man in her heart.

Li Zongqian is best at taking possession of someone so gradually they barely notice. And he has always been the madman who can't live without Yuan Yanchu.

"Why are you looking at someone else?"

"You know I'm easy to appease. Just kiss me a few times."

He kisses her frantically, asking over and over why she doesn't want him anymore. He looks so pitiful and wronged that it's hard not to feel for him, but who would have guessed he's actually a lunatic!

Yuan Yanchu: What do I do? QAQ I've gotten involved with an obsessive lunatic I can't get rid of...

Next book preview: The End of Heaven's Longing

The Sheng family finds the biological daughter who was lost years ago. The adopted daughter is engaged to the young master of the Chu family, Chu Chengfeng. The engagement should now pass to the biological daughter, but no one expects the newly returned young lady to have had a child out of wedlock. She comes home with a three-year-old.

The family doesn't dare ask Chu Chengfeng to become the child's stepfather. The Shengs figure they should discuss it and let the adopted daughter marry him after all.

But Young Master Chu insists that he will honor his engagement to the biological daughter.

Sheng Muning holds her son's hand. "Huh?"

Chu Chengfeng gazes at her with eyes full of affection. "A child comes with the deal. The Chu family will have an heir."

As soon as he says it, the Chu elders glare at him, their faces dark with anger.

When Sheng Muning hears him say the Chu family will have an heir, her heart races. No one knows that her child really is Chu Chengfeng's, and he himself has no idea.

–

Their marriage is a prearranged deal, and they've agreed that after the divorce, Chu Chengfeng will give Sheng Muning and her child everything they're entitled to, along with their freedom.

Since that's the arrangement, Sheng Muning has no intention of telling him who the child's father is.

After the wedding, she dutifully plays the part of Mrs. Chu, while Chu Chengfeng, completely unaware, plays stepfather.

Everyone in their circle knows that the young master of the Chu family is headstrong and arrogant. He could inherit the family's vast business, but instead insists on making a career as a film director.

When his friends hear that he's married a woman who brought along a three-year-old child, they all assume the mother and child are just for show.

But no one could have predicted what happened next.

Not long after the wedding, the workaholic Director Chu stops spending most of his time on set.

Before wrapping up, he even makes a point of taking fun props from the set.

"Oh, my son has gotten into this lately. I'm taking it home for him."

The crew stares in shock, then sees him come back and ask, "Do you think a clingy husband is annoying?"

[Extra scene]

After the wedding, Sheng Muning and her child fill Chu Chengfeng's life.

At first, he finds it hard to adjust. He only got married to appease his family, and Sheng Muning was suitable, but there was also...

Everyone on set knows Director Chu has a strange temper. If anyone disrupts him while he's working, he won't give them the time of day.

Then everyone sees the ruthless Director Chu clinging to his wife in the car, pleading for a kiss while she appears in the news. A well-behaved little boy sits beside them with his arms folded, making snide remarks. "Dad, when Mom really gets mad, even I can't make her feel better."

"You're on your own!"
