In the eyes of the world, Lin Moxian is a good-for-nothing returnee. After five years abroad, he came home and did nothing: no job, no social life, just stayed cooped up at home and lived off his family.
No one knows he is the only Chinese legend in the hundred-year history of the Curtis Institute of Music. His works, published under the alias “M. Lin,” are studied at music academies around the world. The films he directed under the name “Silent” have been nominated for Oscars three times. Deep Sea Capital, the company he founded, is worth tens of billions and spans three continents.
After helping him build a business empire, the System fell into hibernation. All he wanted was a few peaceful days.
That was until he discovered that his childhood friend, the girl who used to follow him around calling him “Brother Moxian,” was being hunted by the entertainment industry's investors.
Su Qingyin is a popular rising star, but behind the scenes, her company exploits and sidelines her, even forcing her to drink with clients. She thinks Lin Moxian is still the quiet boy next door she remembers, until he steps into her world...
Overnight, the investor who tried to force her to drink fled town in terror. The company boss who bullied her was thrown off the board. The rookie who plagiarized her song was exposed and dragged across the internet.
She thought that was all there was to it.
Until she discovered that the man who made her breakfast every day was actually “M. Lin,” the man the entire music industry worshipped as their king.
“Lin Moxian, just how much are you hiding from me?”
He smiled. “A lot. But you can discover it all in time.”
This is a story about protecting someone.
He never says he loves her, but everything he does is his way of saying it.
