After Being Divorced, I Became the White Moonlight of the Duke of the Country.

Jiading County Magistrate Zhuang Yan had once helped the Liang family, and they promised him a marriage alliance in return. Years later, his son Zhuang Qin brought the token of their agreement to the capital to claim his promised bride. The Liang family's daughter wanted nothing to do with him and treated him like a plague. Everyone laughed at his delusions and said his dream was doomed. No one knew that Zhuang Qin's parents had both died three years earlier, and the clues pointed to the Liang family. That was why he'd come. Of all the Liang family members, the one who kept the closest eye on him was undoubtedly Liang Zheng, the leading young scion of the capital's noble families and the Liang family's eldest son. The man practically wished he had an extra pair of eyes just to keep watch over him! Zhuang Qin couldn't stand him! But the capital was a dangerous place, and when Zhuang Qin fell on hard times, Liang Zheng was the only one willing to shelter him from the storm. When the truth finally came out, love and hatred could not be reconciled. Zhuang Qin faked his death and went into exile. He shed his old identity, changed his name, and thought their paths would never cross again. Years later, at the Banquet of a Thousand Autumns, Zhuang Qin presented the emperor with a birthday gift under a new identity. In the crowd, Liang Zheng watched the familiar figure. He smiled darkly. Holding his wine cup, he slowly approached and said in an unreadable tone, “You look a lot like someone I used to know.” Zhuang Qin turned pale, then forced himself to stay calm. “I'm deeply honored, sir.” Liang Zheng said nothing more and turned to leave. Zhuang Qin thought the danger had passed, but after one cup of wine, he lost consciousness completely. When he opened his eyes again, everything around him was pitch-black. A voice like a ghost whispered in his ear, “A Qin, it's been a long time.”
