Plant plum trees in winter

Ade has lived in an incense burner for over a thousand years, her days spent sleeping. Longing for the outside world she hears about from her fairy friends, her wish is finally granted when a man brings her home, releasing her from the seal. Ade, tears streaming, vows to repay her savior to the fullest extent.

Qin Yu, known as the cold and ruthless Third Master Qin of Kyoto, finds his life upended when strange occurrences plague his bedroom after he places an antique incense burner given to him as a New Year's gift there. Chaos ensues, with items displaced and unexplained puddles of water; he even senses something in his bed while half-asleep.

One afternoon, Qin Yu comes home early to find a young girl cleaning up spilled milk. The girl, her black hair cascading, her skin porcelain, is startled by his return and tries to flee. Upon being caught and questioned by Qin Yu, she timidly speaks of repaying her debt.

To Qin Yu's amusement, she lists her belongings: pearls, antiques, even her savings. None of these interest Qin Yu, who instead sweeps her into his arms and suggests a more personal way of repaying the debt. Terrified, the girl's beautiful fish tail is revealed.

The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid

Talking about her height right to her face!


 Ah Da was already annoyed by her short arms and short legs having no intimidating power in front of Qin Yu, frequently getting squashed and pinched by him, and this guy even had the nerve to rub salt in her wound.


 Truly worthy of being Qin Yu's friend.


 "If you're not from the same family, you don't enter the same door!"


 Tang Bufan hadn't noticed the young girl's displeasure and was still blabbering, "Do you not eat well and pick at your food? Kids need to eat more to grow taller, you know?"


 Ah Da, with a sullen and innocent face, walked past him and entered the room, leaving behind only a "hmph." 


 Tang Bu was a bit baffled as he watched her small retreating figure, suddenly laughed out, and teased Uncle Wen, "Is the little girl angry just like that? Now that I think about it, her temperament seems a bit like our Third Young Master's. Are you sure she's not his daughter?"
