The Moon Heads South

Gu Nianru is a graceful beauty, with a pure, jade-like face that somehow bears a natural, untamed charm. Though the two should be at odds, she is breathtakingly beautiful. They say beauty lies in both the bones and the skin. This languid beauty appears warm and serene, but is actually aloof and difficult to approach.

Jin Tunan is the heir to a powerful family in Shangjing, a terrifying figure no one dares provoke. His methods are ruthless, and he holds a grudge over the slightest offense. Legend has it that if Master Jin says you’ll be dead by three in the morning, no one can keep you alive until five. Yet he is also resolute and dignified, with a god-given face.

Though their personalities are worlds apart, they are drawn to each other without realizing it.

The first time:

At the entrance to a bar, Gu Nianru sees Jin Tunan’s handsome face, so stunning it seems to drain the color from everything around them, and silently calls him a “handsome fox.”

The second time:

+From behind a screen, a soft voice drifts out: “Bearing the blue sky on his back, with nothing obstructing him, only then can he set out for the south. The person who named him probably never imagined he would become a businessman.” With a single remark, she reveals the story and sentiment behind his name.

Only once his feelings have deepened does Jin Tunan understand that the momentary flutter in his heart back then was love at first sight.

The third time:

In the lounge at a banquet, a woman reclines alone on a chaise longue. The light falls on skin as white as snow; her bright eyes are closed, and beneath her fitted, high-slit evening dress, her graceful figure is alluring beyond compare. Jin Tunan’s heart pounds like a drum. For the first time, he feels a possessive desire, wanting to keep her all to himself…

Later, Gu Nianru makes a public declaration of love to her husband across the whole city: “Mr. Jin, in this life, whether I live or die, whether I’m poor or rich, you will always be my only choice, the only one who can move my heart.”

A taciturn, distant, and gentle big shot who left the military to go into business & a rational, refined beauty in medical research.
