[Coercive Possession]
Rumor has it that the reason Xie Xianzhi, the eldest son of the Xie family, is nearing thirty and still unmarried is that he's impotent, all looks and no substance.
The day after the rumor spread throughout the capital, the Xie family went to the Shen household with a matchmaker to make a formal proposal.
Though the Shen and Xie families have been close for generations, the Shen family didn't want their daughter to marry into a life of widowhood. They therefore proposed sending a maid over first to test the groom. If Xie Xianzhi proved to be a normal man, they would agree to the marriage.
When Zishan learned she was to go to the Xie household and share a bed with a man known as the "Living Yama," her legs trembled so badly that she fainted on the spot.
My upcoming novel, How to Win Over the Immortal Lord: A Failure, is listed on my profile. Here's the blurb:
[She runs, he pursues, and she can't escape even if she grows wings!] Coming in June!
Brick-solid heroine x honeycomb-hearted hero
One day, Ning Xuan, an obscure member of the Hehuan Sect, wins the sect's only Class A mission in three hundred years.
"Win over Lu Zhiheng, the foremost disciple of the immortal sect."
Seducing a man? Who in the Hehuan Sect doesn't know how?
But Ning Xuan is found out on the very first day...!
Lu Zhiheng is cold and hard-hearted, with no interest in women. He treats her only as a hand warmer, and never crosses the line even when they share a bed. She fails again and again, yet keeps trying. After she finally succeeds in drugging him on her third attempt, she manages to slip away.
On the run, Ning Xuan keeps falling into nightmares.
The man's deep voice sounds so clear it's as if he's speaking right beside her. The slow, wandering touch on her body feels utterly real, like a damp, slick snake coiling around her until she can barely breathe and her heart pounds wildly.
On the tenth day of her escape, Ning Xuan's face is flushed and she's drenched in sweat. A piercing itch erupts from her abdomen, and her legs tremble so badly she can't walk.
With no choice, she risks being tracked and sends a message to Lu Zhiheng.
"What on earth did you do to me?!"
Lu Zhiheng calmly crushes the messenger bird into powder.
"I only did to you what you did to me. Is that enough to make you lose your temper?"
-
Lu Zhiheng is the foremost among the immortal sect's disciples and the future leader of the sect, a man of boundless glory. Only the elders know that he is afflicted with a deadly cold poison for which no medicine can help.
While traveling beyond the mountain, Lu Zhiheng meets a woman as fiery as a flame, an ideal remedy for resisting the cold poison.
She coaxes him, deceives him, tempts him, and repeatedly claims to admire him, only to leave abruptly after a night of passion.
His sluggish meridians and gradually fading powers all point to the cultivation arts of the Hehuan Sect. At last, Lu Zhiheng understands her purpose.
The room is in disarray, and even a trace of the night's sensual scent still lingers. The tenderness they shared last night cuts through his chest like a sharp sword. How bitterly ironic.
He looks at the bloodstain on the bed, and a talisman slowly appears in his palm.
When the talisman burns to ash, their senses become linked, and their lives bound together.
The world is vast, but wherever she goes, she will never escape his grasp.
P.S. One-on-one romance, both are each other's first, happy ending
