How Did the CEO Who Was My White Moonlight Turn Into a Male Ghost?

Diligent, earnest, strikingly beautiful intern × Mild and restrained on the surface, sinister boss underneath, 1v1, Happy Ending

[Content Warnings / Reading Guide]

The male lead has yandere-like possessiveness. He is not a traditionally gentle male lead, and is controlling and obsessive. Read with caution.

The romance involves push and pull, angst, breakups and reunions. Those who dislike coercive love or pathological attachment should take care.

The female lead is introverted and sensitive, and has a dependent-on-others background. She hesitates and runs away in the early stages. This is not a power-fantasy novel with a strong female lead.

Wen Xi has always thought her boss, Zhong Zhixing, was a wonderful man.

The group's second young master, he was sent to a branch office as a project director, yet never acted like a big shot. He was patient with his subordinates and considerate toward business partners. He smiled with gentle restraint and even fastened his shirt to the very top button. Everyone in the company sang his praises.

That is, until late one night at a bar, when she saw him leaning back in a booth, his black silk shirt open at the collar and his earring glinting in the dim light as he smiled and clinked glasses with someone.

He was languid and wicked, like a different person.

After that, he stopped hiding himself from her.

He would quietly move her to the desk closest to his, twirl his pen when she talked a little too long with someone else, and lean over the back of her chair late at night as they worked overtime, his voice low and hoarse: "Are you afraid of me?"

Of course she was.

Afraid of the darkness beneath his perfect appearance, afraid of the possessiveness surging in his eyes when he looked at her, so intense it could drown her.

He pressed all his need and love onto her, heavy, unhealthy, and suffocating.

But what frightened her more was that she was sinking into it herself, and couldn't escape.
