March Tamo

On a stormy night, Shen Jianian, her clothes tattered and torn, knelt down in a state of distress at the feet of the man’s trousers. Her face was pale as paper, her lips trembling as she pleaded, "Help me…"

Fu Jichen, the aloof magnate, lifts her like a stray cat and carries her to Rose Manor.
He feeds her, dresses her, teaches her music—then shows her off to a city that bets she’ll be discarded within weeks.
Bets lose.
Scratches bloom on his neck and cheek, proof the “kitten” has claws.
At midnight he trims those claws himself, whispering: “Stay.”

She vanishes, leaving only a hand-carved token and a note: A match made in heaven.
Fu Jichen tears the city apart to find his runaway cat—
and bring her home for good.

Rose Manor: Tycoon's Relentless Chase

The water could only wash away Fu Jichen's scent lingering on her, but couldn't erase the marks on her body. Shen Jianian was wrestling with herself, scrubbing her arms, neck, and collarbone repeatedly, wishing she could peel off this layer of skin.


Half an hour passed, with hot water flowing incessantly in the bathroom, stagnant air, and high temperatures causing a suffocating sensation. Shen Jianian felt a bit breathless and finally decided to stop.


She turned off the shower and grabbed a towel from the rack.


Her fair skin looked as if it had been scalded, turning a frightening red. The towel brushed against it painfully, like countless needle pricks.


The towel swept over her flat stomach, without the slightest extra flesh, and Shen Jianian's emptied mind suddenly tightened. She had neglected something terrifying.


Did Fu Jichen use protection last night?
