Nightfire Lips

His father, crushed by mounting debts, took his own life—and his mother had already perished in childbirth years before. Chen Long, left with nothing, lashed out at the village chief's son for seizing their family land, a single blow that forced him to flee everything he knew. With no other refuge, he travels to the city to find the woman his father had secretly kept there. She is gentle, older, and a stranger—yet the only lifeline he has left. But from the moment he steps through her door, neither of their lives will remain the same. Her quiet world and his raw, wounded past collide, setting in motion a transformation that binds them in ways neither could have foreseen.
