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

The Second Prince had no time to find a reed or a bamboo tube as the medical text suggested, to avoid improper actions!

The prince pressed his lips to Meili's perfect, soft lips and gently breathed his breath into her mouth.

It was a long slow breath, he shared as much of it as he had, until he needed to come up for air himself to refill his lungs.

She could have it all, he thought, if only she would awaken and take in his breath!

He took in another deep lungful of air and pressed his lips back against Meili's.

Why did this have to be the way he first kissed her pretty lips? he thought in despair.

Meili's eyes flew wide open, and she stared into the handsome, for some reason sad, eyes of the Second Prince, which were millimetres from her own.

She felt his lips pressed against her open mouth and she drew in a deep breath, filling her lungs with sweet air and the intimate masculine taste of this man.
