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 sighed helplessly, "I don't have it."


"You don't admit it, but I know." Ah Da leaned on his shoulder, not caring at all, blaming him regardless.


Qin Yu hugged her tightly and didn't argue back. Tonight had been perilous yet safe. Lu Yuan's appearance suggested that someone in the dark was coveting her, perhaps already aware of her real identity.


Fortunately, the blood on her wasn't hers; otherwise, he didn't know what he might have done.


Qin Yu's eyes darkened, unfathomably deep.


Whatever the opponent's purpose, they had already made their move against her. They would have to be more careful in the future.


When Tang Bufan and Wei Lan came downstairs, they saw Zhong Xiao'ai being blocked at the stairwell, looking upset, even arguing with the bodyguard.


Wei Lan spoke, standing on the stairs beside Tang Bufan, with Long Jiu and Long Qi behind them.


The bodyguard hastily backed away, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Tang."
