interesting
The synopsis made me curious and it's even better than I thought. They're both so attracted to each other, it's sizeling hot! It made me laugh too and I understand her feelings and mindset. Very well written, looking forward. Christian having everything from Tom Ford is sexy btw.
cant wait for their bond to grow more intense now that Lisa discovered Ryans other life...
love the story
An amazing book
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
I enjoyed the author and his reading, but I must agree that he does not update often with the new chapters. Maybe he’s busy with life. But I do eagerly await each, and every new chapter.
Love it ?
do you have any social media network for followers please
Hi Author,when are you going to upload new story?
Love the story so far but I have to wait too long for a chapter update every 2 weeks or so.
Let me count the stakes in these chapters because holy shit. Xu Shuyao and her brother: they traveled alone, arrived with an old servant and a single trunk, no maids, shabby carriage. They have nothing. Their only asset is Xu Shuyao's wits and her ability to play the humble cousin. If she missteps, they're exposed. If Liu Qingwan's suspicion grows, if the Old Madam decides they're a threat or a burden—they're out. And where do two orphaned cousins go from there? Xiao Xiaolian: he's betting on the Second Prince. He thinks the Crown Prince is mediocre, the Second Prince is the future, and if he aligns now, his family rises. But his mother just shattered a teacup and told him the emperor *knows*. The emperor asked Xiao Mo directly. That's not a warning; that's a noose being measured. Xiao Xiaolian is sweating on his knees because he realizes he's been played—or he's been watching something far bigger than he understood. Liu Qingwan: she's sick, but her eyes are fierce. She saw Wang Shaowei smile at Xu Shuyao. She asked the sharp question at the gate. She's not just jealous; she's calculating. What does she stand to lose? Her position? Her marriage prospects? The favor of the Old Madam? And that drowning cat imagery—she's not going down without scratching. Wang Shaowei: he's the least dangerous person in this room, and that's why he's in the most danger. He asked about Cousin Xu's family and immediately regretted it. He's sympathetic, flustered, human. In a house where everyone is calculating, his humanity is a liability. And Xiao Mo? He's the only one who seems to understand the full board. He investigated before he spoke. He dismissed his cousin's pity. He massages his grandmother's shoulders while his mind is elsewhere. What is he betting on? The text doesn't say. But when the emperor asks you a question, you don't answer—you *prepare*. The stakes aren't just political. They're personal. Xu Shuheng at seven already knows what treachery looks like. Xu Shuyao sold her art to survive. Liu Qingwan is a drowning cat. Xiao Mo is a boy who climbed under a carriage and never stopped moving. Everyone here is fighting for something, and most of them don't yet know what they're really fighting for.
