    Reader note

    Highly recommended! From initial antagonism to blossoming romance, a twisted version of "Wrong Carriage, Right Groom"—a tale of a celibate, gynophobic scientist wooing a seemingly aloof woman; a cold, unattainable beauty versus a sharp-tongued, domineering CEO; a toxic white moonlight entering a dream; a jinx and a gynophobe mutually redeeming each other; two love stories filled with conflict and love, featuring revelation of secrets, a desperate pursuit of the wife, and a reconciliation—a bittersweet unrequited love story. Completed. Highly recommended!
