    To every girl who "wants to be her own light," my novel, *The Return of the Heiress: Tearing Apart Mr. Lu's White Moonlight*, is finally here! This is Lin You, the "undefined heiress" I created—she dares to shatter the rumors of being the "white moonlight," declaring, "I am my own light." From a little girl dependent on her older sister, she grows into a responsible and caring heiress of the Lin family; she understands the warmth of science and the equality of love, living a life where sharpness and gentleness coexist. Her love with Lu Xiu is never about one depending on the other: he shields her from interstellar dangers, accompanies her from picking osmanthus blossoms in the rainy alley to shouldering responsibilities together; she understands his protection, and he understands her sharpness—it's a mutual understanding, a two-way journey. There's also her sister's "Let me protect you," and her grandmother's "Science needs warmth"—these family bonds are the warmest foundation for Lin You's growth. Perhaps it's not perfect, but it holds my truest hope: May you, like Lin You, not be defined by labels, possessing both the courage to shatter rumors and the warmth to cherish gentleness, living as your own light. Step into her world—witness the heiress's triumphant return, witness mutual protection, see the osmanthus blossoms in the rainy alley drift towards the stars, and see how love and growth allow a girl to live the life she desires. #TheHeiressReturnsAndShattersMr. Lu'sWhiteMoonlight #Novel #Girl'sGrowth #MutualLove #UsingThePenAsWingsToFollowHardship

    🌠1. A spy novel set in the Republican era, featuring a female protagonist with multiple identities. She transmigrates to the Republican era, possesses a spatial ability, and robs several enemy warehouses to supply her own side. As another commenter put it, "Patriotic and wealthy, it makes up for the regret of watching anti-Japanese war movies and wanting to jump into the screen to give all the good stuff to the Party." 🌠2. This book differs from other clichéd supernatural tales; it has extremely positive values ​​and a vast world-building. The protagonist's goal isn't personal victory, but global victory. His companions along the way are all wonderful people, steadfast and strong. 🌠3. No romantic pairing! The relationship between the protagonist and the female lead is stronger than family (mainly because the protagonist can hear the female lead's inner thoughts; she's a die-hard fan of the protagonist, loyal, naive, and incredibly straightforward, showing no fear of him having second thoughts or rebelling). The female lead also adopts a son, Xiang Yu, whom she names Li Pu, who is truly absurd—just like his mother, naive, straightforward, and eccentric. The author is a seasoned internet surfer, and the story is packed with hilarious internet memes. He then embarks on a rampage on a peaceful island, seemingly content with his lot. (If you're kind-hearted about the island's inhabitants, you might want to skip this; the main theme is the massacre of the island.) Overall, the character of the ruler in this story is quite believable; he's cunning, resourceful, and compassionate towards his people and ministers. It's a very satisfying read.
