ShuiShu

Meili is a once-in-a-generation beauty raised in secrecy in the inner courtyards. To keep her safe from the palace concubine selections, her family conspires to make everyone, including her, believe that she's ugly. The secret's revealed when 3 peeping Tom’s get more than they bargained for spying on the 'ugly sister' bathing.
The perverts are best friends, a young commander, the second prince, and an admired poet, and the 3 young men compete fiercely for her affections. As Meili emerges from 16 years in seclusion, her deeply rooted body dysmorphia has hilarious consequences as she misreads her interactions with men and proves to be a far more complex puzzle to woo than any of them are equipped for.
A cdrama romcom where a young girl is a glittering prize trying her hardest not to be won.

EXTRACT: Meili slipped out of her robe and sat on a ledge in the warm pool. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, tiny silver bells tinkled as she moved.
It felt wonderful to be free of her chest binding. It was starting to get quite painful. She didn't dare stop wearing it in case it encouraged her already disconcertingly large breasts to keep expanding.
It was onto this scene that the Commander, the Prince and the poet happened, as they soundlessly raised their heads above the peaked roofline. For a full minute not one of them moved or breathed.
Her long hair covered her generous curves, allowing tantalising glimpses. She reached behind her neck to push back her hair.
Commander Bai, realising what was about to happen, clamped each of his hands firmly over the eyes of the Prince and Tan Bowen. A fight broke out on the ridge-line as the men clawed and scratched in a panicked attempt to see what came next.
Meili looked up in fright, just as the commander forcefully pushed his two friends, sliding them down the steep rooftop.
For just a split second, the eyes of Commander Bai and Meili met.

Sharing a Pavilion With You

As Meili gradually found her confidence again, Fourth left to join the other two men, while she and Tricky trotted about together making poultice's for Tufei's bites. He had two very large welts on his hindquarters.

"They must be very itchy Tuufy," she said to him soothingly, stroking his ears. "This will help them to feel better," she gently applied the mixture thickly across his wounds, blowing on them just like Bai Li had done for her.

She looked shyly across at the man who had saved her. He was deep in conversation with her brothers. Cold-faced and serious as always, but she'd seen another side to him now, and she knew him to be a gentle and kind man.

She blushed and blinked rapidly when she remembered that he had removed her top. Bai Li felt her stare and looked across at her, taking in her red cheeks with a flash of understanding.

He had wondered how long it would take her to feel this way about what had happened between them.
