A gentle, adorable female writer x a devoted, calculating man in power (Please add to your reading list)
During the years Qu Tanxing lived as a guest in the Jiang family home, she secretly wrote a novel about her unrequited love, using Jiang Wenzhou as its inspiration.
She had planned to give him the book as a love letter, but it became a farewell gift instead, and she left the Jiang family.
Five years later, her unrequited-love novel, Moonlight Insomnia, went viral online, making her famous. Yet no one knew who the male lead was based on.
Then, just as the bidding for its screen adaptation rights reached a fever pitch, the biggest investor bought all her IP rights.
It was her childhood friend, Jiang Wenzhou, whom she had not seen in years.
Now, he was a powerful rising star.
At the negotiating table, Jiang Wenzhou slid a contract worth a fortune in front of her, pressing her at every turn. A hint of excitement colored his tone. "The script needs changes, and so does the ending. Audiences these days like happy endings. We don't need too much melodrama."
Qu Tanxing couldn't help frowning. "Besides that, what else do you want, Mr. Jiang?"
He smiled faintly, opened another novel she'd written, and pointed to a passage with his fountain pen. "This part feels awfully clumsy. Miss Qu, have you never been in love?"
Qu Tanxing shot him a sidelong glance and turned to leave.
Seeing this, he hurried after her, closed the door, and locked it. He pressed her against the back of the door and lowered his voice so only she could hear. "Tanxing, starting today, I'll help you relive the story. We'll start with the part where they get together, and do the same things ourselves."
"In the book, I didn't get to claim you. Outside the book, surely I deserve a place by your side?"
Jiang Wenzhou had never forgotten what she wrote:
Qu Tanxing, you said I was the moon, and the stars would always keep the moon company.

● 1v1, both leads are each other's first and only. The male lead only loves the female lead, and their feelings are mutual.
