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

"So you're Uncle Wen's granddaughter, I thought you looked familiar." Tang Bufan was handsome, with naturally charming peach-blossom eyes and a smile on his face as he looked at Wen Min.


Wen Min felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that the person in front of her didn't intend to settle any scores with her. She couldn't afford to be kicked out as soon as she arrived, especially since she was here on a mission.


"Let's go," Tang Bufan said, withdrawing his gaze and pulling Ah Da along towards the car.


The two got into a black Bentley, which then started up and drove out of the parking garage, passing by Wen Min.


Wen Min stood there, watching them leave until the car's rear was no longer in sight. Only then did she allow her smile to fade. She thought to herself that anyone who could come and go freely here must have a close relationship with Qin Yu.
