    Highly recommended! Encountering a toxic white moonlight, it's hard to tell if it's a coincidence or a premeditated plan. In the first romance, the female lead doesn't know the male lead's true identity and believes he's been cursed by her own birth chart. In the second romance, the male lead reveals his true identity, misunderstands the female lead, and plays a trick on her, only to be thoroughly humiliated by her. A cool, aloof, and unapproachable beauty encounters a sharp-tongued, arrogant scientist. A different kind of wealthy romance, a twisted version of "wrong bride, right groom."

Mu Junchao also asked her if she was in the city that afternoon, and she truthfully said yes. "Then... Do you think I got engaged to Fang Zhi and then wanted to take advantage of you?" Yuan Qi looked astonished. Mu Junchao had already said this much, "Sort of!" "What do you mean 'sort of'? Explain yourself, what were your thoughts at the time?" Yuan Qi was indeed relentless. Mu Junchao was clearly exasperated. "I just... Thought Fang Zhi couldn't satisfy you..." "Mu Junchao! Are you crazy? Fang Zhi can't satisfy me, so I'll go find other men? What about you? You started looking for someone after breaking up with your ex-girlfriend, and after breaking up with me, you're still looking for someone to satisfy yourself?" Mu Junchao was both annoyed and amused by Yuan Qi's impulsive outburst. "Heh! Yuan Qi, when did I tell you I slept with my ex-girlfriend?" "..." Yuan Qi's face showed obvious surprise. Mu Junchao's smile widened... "What are you laughing at! What's a grown man like you doing playing innocent..." Damn it, who was it that came up with the story about how his family opposed his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, forcing Yuan Qi to reveal Fang Zhi to avoid making her romantic history seem too blank... If it weren't for seeing Yuan Qi's face turn red to the roots of her ears, Mu Junchao wouldn't have gotten up to pour her a glass of ice water. "This kind of thing… Yuan Qi, you… 'Pure' is an adjective, 'pure' is a noun, and a noun is a fact! How could you hide it from me?" Yuan Qi almost choked on the water she had just swallowed. It wasn't so much hiding it as there was nothing to say. It was a matter of mutual consent among adults. Before, it was about self-respect; later, it was about not having the chance. "Cough…" She couldn't hold back anymore; it was over, her composure completely vanished. Mu Junchao cleared the last of the food from the table and went to the kitchen. Yuan Qi got up and laid the sleeping Xiaoshan on the bed, placing a comfort toy next to him so he could sleep a little longer. With Mu Junchao around, she planned to be lazy and sleep with the children. So she lay down next to Xiaoshan, intending to take a nap. When Mu Junchao came in from outside with his phone, Yuan Qi was almost asleep. When he placed the screenshot on the phone screen in front of her, she instantly woke up. It was a screenshot of Mu Junchao's return trip from Ctrip last year! Yuan Qi knew exactly what was going on, but she didn't want to explain. The human nature involved... It was too much of a test of one's mental fortitude, especially since she thought she'd slept with He Hongyan! Yuan Qi was already lying on the bed, and now she simply buried her head in the pillow, pretending not to see anything. She really couldn't face it! Mu Junchao, however, was laughing so hard he was shaking. Finally, he had someone to manipulate Yuan Qi... He patted Yuan Qi's back, but she ignored him. So he simply grabbed her waist and lifted her up, lifting her directly off the bed. "Shh..." Mu Junchao warned Yuan Qi, then carried her out of the bedroom in a princess carry. "Mu Junchao! You really are something else! Nobody can control you, right?! You're lawless!" Yuan Qi lowered her voice, clearly affecting her composure. He placed Yuan Qi next to the large rabbit doll on his son's playmat. "Tell me, where did you start to doubt yourself? Why are you so stubborn and won't ask me?" "Ask you what? You weren't there when I went back to change my shoes that night, so how did you get there later? Ask when you went back that day? What if it really was He Hongyan? You were seamlessly replaced so quickly, haha..." "Haha... You care about my feelings about being seamlessly replaced? Don't you know who you want to sleep with?" Mu Junchao looked at Yuan Qi without flinching; he had been perfectly sober that night. He was frustrated. He thought Yuan Qi would sober up and her anger would subside after a while. After all, neither of them was averse to it; it was just a matter of time. He wanted to explain, but the video from the police station that day, showing Yuan Qi's protection of Fang Zhi, exceeded his expectations. Even so, he didn't want to leave anymore. More than jealousy of Fang Zhi, he felt sorry for Yuan Qi. So when Yuan Qi, drunk, took his arm around him, he didn't want to restrain himself at all... And when Mu Junchao asked Yuan Qi, "Who does she want to sleep with?" That night it was Mu Junchao! Her mind was filled with Mu Junchao, but she blacked out the next day! With spring in full bloom, if Mu Junchao knew that Yuan Qi was thinking about him all night, wouldn't that be arousing? Yuan Qi didn't answer, but Mu Junchao understood. Because Yuan Qi's face had turned as red as a boiled tomato. "Yuan Qi, think carefully about the cause and effect of this matter. Aren't I also quite... Passive? But I'm not wronged, I'm quite happy, about everything that Guan Yu gave me! I'm extremely satisfied! From now on, you have your own stance, and I'll listen to you." "Listen to me?" Yuan Qi was clearly tempted, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Yes, I'll listen to you from now on!" She was easy to coax; just one sentence was enough. Yuan Qi smiled, "How do you mean 'listen'? First, let go of my hand, and abstain from sex for two years?" Mu Junchao quickly released his hand that had unconsciously been around Yuan Qi's waist, realizing he couldn't have said it before. "Why so long?" "Then three years!" "Two years!" Mu Junchao couldn't bargain anymore. "Ahem, two years from now, first, you have to handle your parents' grandson-adopting situation properly and not cause me any trouble. Second, you'll hand over your salary card and be deprived of... Your freedom for life." "I can do anything else, but the salary card..." Mu Junchao probed. "Huh?" Yuan Qi asked, puzzled. "Not in two years..." Mu Junchao refused. "Liar!" "Because it's already in your wallet..." Mu Junchao hadn't gone into the bedroom alone today. Yuan Qi frowned slightly, got up, went to the bedroom, and quietly opened the drawer to take out her wallet. Sure enough, on the last page was a card that didn't belong to her, with Mu Junchao's signature on it. "Not bad, that's some awareness, you've got potential!" Yuan Qi couldn't help but praise. Mu Junchao shook his head helplessly, "You're so greedy, what if I can't satisfy you in the future?" "Don't worry, as long as you hand over your assets, no matter how much, I can support you!" Yuan Qi put the wallet away, casually put it back in the drawer, and gently closed it. "Since I'm so aware of this, can you lower your demands a little bit..." Mu Junchao still wanted to bargain. Yuan Qi's eyes darted around, knowing what Mu Junchao meant. "No way! Two years! Obedience isn't just talk!" "Okay, okay! I'll listen! But… can we start tomorrow…?" "You're really up to this?" "Would you believe me if I said no? Didn't you say your period was coming soon, and you wouldn't be able to rest properly taking care of them?" "Oh, my stomach hurts…" "Don't lie to me, I saw you drinking ice water just now!" Mu Junchao pulled Yuan Qi back and kissed her without a word… In broad daylight, Yuan Qi covered her eyes, refusing to look at him. Mu Junchao smiled faintly, walked to the French windows, and drew the curtains… "Yuan Qi… I miss you so much, so much…"

A sea of ​​hatred and love, a bloodbath of deep-seated hatred, they are forced into a business marriage due to family feuds, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. They have a child, but no affection. She is constantly imprisoned by him, unable to go anywhere. He dismisses her midnight whispers as dreams. When she pretends to measure his neck with a rope, he discovers her lie and claims she's measuring a necklace, asking if he believes her. He then furiously binds her hands with the rope, forcing her to confront the fact that they are enemies. She and her child cry their hearts out, and his heart aches, but he shows no pity. She packs her bags to escape, but he discovers her. He doesn't understand how painful it is for her to leave. Why does he act this way when he doesn't love her? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to her rescue with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by running into a wall while he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her.

He began to understand his own heart and felt a sense of kinship with her. He treated her like a beloved person, making her happy. He never fed her before, but started feeding her even his son. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like. He never knew that loving someone could make him give everything. But when she asked him if he loved her, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and he unconsciously and gently admitted it in his sleep. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He didn't understand why it was his parents who wanted him to marry her, and it was also his parents who wanted them to divorce. What exactly did he and she do wrong? Why ignore their love when they became victims of generations of feuds? He once thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. However, when he heard her demand 500 million for a breakup, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was nothing but a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred, but she only cared about money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why were they thanking him when they were clearly enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds? Could they still be lovers?

    The sunlight outlined his silhouette, casting a hazy, ambiguous shadow over his emotions. He seemed helpless, yet also clearly frustrated and angry. My gaze followed his hand, and as soon as he loosened his collar, I followed his Adam's apple to his collarbone. I tensed up instantly and immediately unzipped my tracksuit jacket. Cheng Chen noticed my movement and glanced at me. "Liang Xuxu, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" I retorted, my hand still on the jacket zipper, sitting stiffly. Cheng Chen was bewildered; his agitation vanished inexplicably. "I'll unbutton a couple of buttons on my collar to loosen up." "Oh, I'm hot too." I slid the zipper of my jacket up and down, watching him through the hissing sound. "Fan yourself, fan yourself." Cheng Chen looked at me, paused for a few seconds, then pointed at my face, half-smiling, half-angry. "What are you thinking?" "The same as what you're thinking." My eyes darted around, feigning indifference. "I'm quite experienced in this area." "You... Pfft~" Cheng Chen suddenly laughed, a maniacal laugh that wouldn't stop. Looking at my face, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, he turned and braced himself against the wall with one hand, his broad back swaying. The tension in the room dissipated with his laughter. I was truly baffled. What was this all about? Was he going to fight or not?! The midday sun streamed brightly through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the room. Cheng Chen, dressed in all black, leaned against the wall with one hand, his eyes glistening with laughter. He turned to me, "You think I'm going to hit you? Roll up my sleeves?" I replied calmly, "What else?" Aren't all martial arts practitioners like this? Anyone with a bit of real combat experience wouldn't hold back in their training. If we're going to fight, let's go all out!
