[I calculated ten thousand ways to get close to you, but never once figured out how to make you see me.]
Shen Buxi once thought her life was a tide that could never recede, constantly sweeping away everything she held dear: her health, her courage...
Years later, she became the most ordinary intern at a multinational conglomerate. Her direct supervisor was Xu Yanshi, the industry-famous “rational machine,” cool-headed, demanding, and utterly unsentimental.
She had no idea she was the only variable in his meticulously ordered world.
She had no idea that the offer on his desk, the one she couldn’t refuse, was a move he had waited years to make.
And she had no idea why, every night she worked overtime, the same light was always on in the CEO’s office.
Until, by chance, she came across a faded Polaroid in his encrypted album, one he never showed anyone.
It was a picture of her at seventeen, with a line of tiny writing beside it:
“My moonlight has finally fallen back into my tide.”
