* Male lead raised by another family * Childhood sweethearts * A slow, steady romance

* Secret love becomes reality * Mutual healing

One-on-one / Both virgins / Happy ending

Male lead Xu Guo: Seems calm and gentle, but is actually insecure and obsessive

Female lead Chen Feng: A little bit of sweet-on-the-outside, sharp-on-the-inside, and an angelic sweetheart who knows how to love

Blurb:

As a child, Xu Guo had plenty of nicknames: poor little unwanted thing, mad dog, ungrateful wretch, and... bastard.

He hated them all.

Until the year he turned eight, when little Chen Feng took his hand.

From then on, he had a home, and a beloved title: Chen Feng’s big brother.

But no one could have guessed that this word, “brother,” would become an insurmountable barrier years later.

He played the role of a gentle, considerate big brother to perfection, blurring the line between pretending and the truth until he convinced even himself.

Only when he finally came to his senses did he realize he had already fallen so deeply in love that it had become an obsession.

Entice her;

coax her;

tease her;

consume her, bit by bit;

wait for her to love him;

and finally...

possess her.

To hell with their deep sibling bond!

He would tear down with his own hands the tower he had built, turning all those years of swallowed longing into pure-white datura blossoms, blooming in her deepest depths.

“Xiao Feng, I’m yours. I always will be.”

Please let me become your possession.

Volume Three, Flourishing: Chapters 49–65

Volume Four, A Tree in Bloom: Chapters 66–87

The complete manuscript of the new novel, Thirst Isn't Enough, is ready. Here's the blurb:

I

Lin Rendong first met Qian Zhong at the Qian family home. She was there to meet Mr. Qian, her arranged date, but Qian Zhong wasn't her date.

Qian Zhong leaned one arm against the sofa, slowly propping up his head as he lazily replied,

“My dad’s on the second floor.”

Her actual arranged date was upstairs.

II

Qian Zhong had met every one of his father's arranged dates. Of them all, Lin Rendong was the most special.

Special in a way that made him hate her.

Yet in the end, it was Qian Zhong who lost control, pinning Lin Rendong’s hand against his chest and begging humbly for her favor:

“What do you want? There’s more than one man in the Qian family! This body has a heart beating twenty years more vigorously than his.

I have everything he has!

And I have what he doesn’t.

So could you...

give me another try?”
