Moonlight Sinks into the River

[Two brilliant minds, childhood friends reunited, a hidden powerhouse, overwhelming combat prowess, mutual salvation]

Seven years ago, a carefully orchestrated car crash left Yue Shitong “dead in an accident.” During her years adrift, she shed her innocence and tempered herself into steel amid blades and bloodshed, all so that one day she could tear off her enemies’ masks with her own hands.

But when she finally returned, claws sharpened, she discovered that her enemy had already met a violent end. Her revenge, fueled by years of pent-up fury, had nowhere to go.

It was a seemingly ordinary protection assignment that finally brought her into Shen Jichuan’s sights. Dressed in a sharp suit, the man had the same cool, familiar look in his eyes that she remembered, but now it came with the oppressive air of someone who controlled everything.

“A Yue?” he called out the long-buried name in a trembling voice, clinging to her like a lifeline and refusing to let go.

From then on, Shen Jichuan became the shadow Yue Shitong couldn’t shake. He pursued her relentlessly, weaving seven years of longing into an inescapable net. But when he drew close, he realized that the girl he had cherished, his moonlight, was no longer the little girl who needed his protection.

She was Kilo’s top sniper.

She was Y, the number-one hacker on the Phantom rankings.

She was also the owner of the Splendor of a Thousand Visions auction house.

One was a hidden powerhouse who walked alone in the darkness; the other, a business magnate who commanded the tides in plain sight.

Their reunion wasn’t the end, but the beginning of unmasking each other.

This long-overdue salvation had always been a journey they made toward each other.
