Synopsis

[Sweet romance]+ [Healing]

[Gentle, pure gardenia × Gloomy, solitary boy]+ [Award-winning journalist × Business tycoon]

Xu Ren, who supposedly built his business empire from nothing, was known for his ruthless, cold-hearted nature. In Yucheng, he could get away with anything.

There were countless rumors about him, but no one knew that since he was young, he had given the last tender part of his heart to the moonlight that had shone upon him.

…

When they meet again after years apart, the little gardenia he had treasured had blossomed into a dazzling beauty. He held back his feelings, forcing himself to suppress the stirring in his heart. Gripping her jaw in his fist, he spoke in a voice cold enough to cut.

“Don’t ever appear in my world again.” The words nearly broke her heart.

When they meet again, aboard a ferry, letters sealed away for years are opened along with the truth about what happened back then.

Xu Ren held her tightly against his chest. As he bent to kiss her deeply, he poured every ounce of strength he had into it.

His eyes were bloodshot, and even his fingertips trembled, pale as snow.

“You tore my heart to pieces.”

He nipped at her gently, sinking into the kiss, his heart overflowing with love.

“Li Zhi, tell me you love me, and I’ll give you everything.”

Later, all of Yucheng heard that the former cold-faced tyrant now had a beloved at his side, a weakness he would do anything to protect.

During a business interview, the camera was still rolling.

The man steadied the woman’s soft, delicate body, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

“Can’t even walk straight?”

Li Zhi gave him a playful, reproachful look, deliberately avoiding him in front of the camera.

But Xu Ren dropped to one knee, holding her ankle and kissing it gently with almost reverent tenderness.

“Li Zhi, marry me.”

[P.S. The first 39 chapters are set during their school days and lay the groundwork for the main story. Please don’t skip them unless necessary. Both are each other’s first.]

What’s Your Number-One Campus Novel?

I can't find a book! I vaguely remember the female lead reporting to a new school. Her exam scores were the same as the male lead's, so their names were both at the top, or maybe highlighted in gold! Their names also went really well together!! If you know it, please tell me! And while you're at it, I'd love some other recommendations too!!

It's a great read. Xu Ren is truly wonderful; I even think he became even better to Li Zhi after gaining power and status. What I'm trying to say is that Xu Ren didn't become arrogant because of his newfound status; he remained the same gentle Xu Ren in front of Li Zhi. Li Zhi truly loves Xu Ren; she feels so much for him, to the point that she cries whenever she mentions his past.

My cccc is so good! I was previously obsessed with another book by the same author, Wen Man and Mr. Wen, just those two words were so captivating! This one is also so good. My astronomy pen is amazing! 😢😢😢🥺🥺

I think Li Zhi is truly the gentlest and most morally upright girl I've ever met. Her and Xu Ren's mutual redemption really touched me. (ง •̀_•́)ง Keep it up!

The main story is finished, but I haven't finished the extra chapters yet. They're incredibly sweet! Every couple has their own unique charm, and the long-awaited reunion of the main characters is just so sweet. It's another day I believe in love again. My only complaint is that I didn't see a single car scene! Where can I find detailed information about them? Please tell me! 💕

It's a really good novel 👀 The writing style is not childish for an English writer, the story is wonderful, and I was moved by the kinship between the two protagonists and their families. They are each other's salvation; she is the moon in his dark night of confusion. Xu Ren: It feels like the road ahead is very difficult to walk, and even the moonlight cannot dispel the clouds and fog. Li Zhi: The radiant light will one day sweep across the vast expanse of the sky.

A fresh perspective on redemption, the male lead is a genuine underdog who rises through hardship, the female lead is his light, and he runs desperately towards that light. The female lead's trope is a bit cliché—leukemia—but she bravely cooperates with the treatment for the male lead. After they meet, they become each other's protective shield, and misunderstandings are quickly resolved.

The story is vivid, the characters are distinct, each with their own personality traits, resulting in a compelling love story. The themes of family, friendship, and love all ignite my passion. Youth is a beautiful landscape; reminiscing about it brings with it unspoken regrets and bittersweet memories, but we are determined to strive for a better future.

Completed on May 24, 2024 It's so good! 😢😢 It's a bit of a shame that the extra chapters didn't include Fu, Lan, Li, and Ren 🥺 I hope they write an extra chapter featuring all four of them.
