[Mistaken identity of a benefactor + love at first sight + domineering CEO + groveling redemption arc + stand-in trope + older woman/younger man romance + true and fake young masters + a touch of showbiz]
This story is wall-to-wall melodrama, with every trope piled on. The author has gone dark. The characters' values do not represent the author's. It's just a fun read, so enjoy it however you like.
“My surname is Ji, Ji as in ‘season,’ not Ji as in ‘commemorate.’ Young Master Shen, you mistook me for someone else and gave your heart to the wrong person. What does that have to do with me?” She lazily took off her sunglasses, tossed out the words with a carefree flourish, and walked away.
Who is Ji Tingwan? H City's famous domineering CEO. She pursues people by throwing money at them, and by relying on a tiny bit of good looks. This smooth little combo may not work every time, but it's usually a sure bet. Rejection doesn't upset her. She can always pursue someone else.
People in the industry say President Ji is so carefree, though in private they think no one could put up with her temper. After all, none of Ji Tingwan's relationships has lasted more than six months. It would take a miracle for anyone to win her over, and even if they did, they might not last half a year. People talk about the seven-year itch, but with Ji Tingwan, it's the seven-month itch.
That is, until one day, some unknown, innocent college boy successfully pursued Ji Tingwan and got engaged to her, becoming Miss Ji's fiancé. The two couldn't stop showing off how much in love they were.
Just as everyone was wondering whether President Ji had changed her ways or the innocent college boy was simply that good, Ji Tingwan suddenly announced that she was calling off the engagement. Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help looking into it.
Well, turns out President Ji's moonlight had come back.
This book is also known as Miss Ji's Dark Moonlight.
