A Bewitching Night in the Capital

[Gorgeous actress & powerful Beijing tycoon, both romantically inexperienced + an unconventional groveling pursuit + simmering tension + mending a broken relationship]

At first, with nowhere else to turn, Liang Luoxin staked everything on asking a man for help.

Cheng Yu looked down at her with cool detachment, his voice low and teasing. “Miss Liang, I’m no saint. I have no interest in doing good deeds, and I don’t make deals at a loss.”

Liang Luoxin smiled. That was fine. She probably wasn’t a good person either.

Later, Liang Luoxin realized that she had gradually lost herself, falling deeper into him without even noticing.

But Cheng Yu said nonchalantly, “Our relationship probably isn’t suitable for celebrating Qixi Festival together.”

Then she overheard him talking to a friend: “What feelings could I possibly have for her? She’s just a mistress.”

Liang Luoxin understood.

When she left him without looking back, Cheng Yu couldn’t hide his heartbreak. “Was it all just using and manipulating me?”

Liang Luoxin smiled, calm and frank. “You were the one who took the bait willingly. This was always a deal we both agreed to, each getting what we wanted. Now we’re even.”

Only after the fact did Cheng Yu realize that he had always been the one in the weaker position, and that he was the first to fall in love for real.

Liang Luoxin was a red rose forced to bloom in barren soil: resilient, vibrant, and radiant.

Cheng Yu had long since become a devout believer gazing up at a goddess. All he wanted was for her to fall for him again, so he could hold the moon in his arms.

Later, netizens teased him, saying his first order of business should be to uninstall Tomato Novel!
