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

Her palm unknowingly pressed against the man's body, which made him groan in pain, and his grip instantly loosened, allowing Ah Da to quickly crawl over to the window and open it, intending to jump out. Suddenly, the door opened.


Ah Da's eyes widened in fear as she turned her head and saw the tall figure standing at the door, tears immediately falling down.


When Qin Yu saw the disheveled young girl, a tremor went through his heart, filled with an indescribably bitter and sour emotion.


It was as if a void in his heart had suddenly been filled.


A fleeting shadow rushed toward him, and he subconsciously spread his arms to catch it, like a soft-furred little cat crashing into him, not too heavy nor too light, the slight weight making his heart ache.


Having lived for over twenty years, he had never felt as panicky as he did tonight, needing all his strength to maintain a calm façade to issue various orders.
