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

Mr. Qin's presence was simply too overpowering. A light word from him had everyone's hearts pounding, all panic-stricken.


Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ah Da quickly spoke up, "We can start now if you'd like, but at this time, everyone should probably be hungry. Why don't we all go eat together first?"


Zou Lin promptly said, "No need, Miss Su, we already ate on our way here. Thank you for your concern."


Ah Da's brows furrowed slightly, somewhat incredulous, but when she caught Zou Lin's trembling gaze, she whispered, "Is that so? Well then, please wait for me upstairs. I'll join you after I eat."


After saying that, Ah Da looked over at Song Ma, who immediately replied, "Not to worry, Miss Ade. I'll make sure they're all taken care of."


Ah Da nodded, walked over, and took Qin Yu's hand, "Let's go eat quickly then."


It was apparent that they were all afraid of Qin Yu, as if they were facing a Demon King who wouldn't bat an eyelid after committing murder.
