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

Qin Yu didn't often attend the various banquets in Capital City, but his appearance at Wanrong was, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not to mention the bosses from all quarters, even those glammed-up socialites, who wasn't there for him?


"Tsk, tsk, tsk, nobody does it like you, Third Young Master," Tang Bufan was full of adoration as he gave Qin Yu a thumbs-up.


Qin Yu leaned back on the sofa and gave him a lukewarm glance, "Mr. Tang, you're not too far behind, right? Aren't you also quite busy?"


"Don't, don't, don't, Third Young Master, you shouldn't say things like that. It gives me the chills." Tang Bufan rubbed his arms, Qin Yu's comment had given him goosebumps.


The last time Qin Yu and his father sent him off to do grunt work, Tang Bufan was still haunted by it. He figured that he did not want any significant achievements in this lifetime, just as his parents said, staying out of trouble was pretty good.
