The Bright Moon Is Mine [Gender Bender]

[Clear-headed, independent princess × brooding, devoted eunuch]

Mingyue once kept a loyal dog by her side. As a woman confined by the many rules of the palace, she found him a pleasant diversion whenever she was bored.

Just a diversion. Nothing more.

But he took it to heart. Though he knew their feelings were not the same, he remained by her side, hopelessly devoted, even though their relationship had to stay hidden. Even though he would never have a title, as long as he could stay with Mingyue, that was enough.

Zhao Yu’s monologue:

Mingyue, so bright and sacred, yet forever beyond my reach. Cold, without a trace of warmth.

Mingyue, please take pity on wretched me…

If I could, I would beg to stay by your side forever.

But Mingyue still left, without the slightest reluctance. She didn’t even say goodbye. I couldn’t even look at her from afar one last time. From then on, I truly would never see her again.

Why couldn’t you hear my plea?

I was hurt, furious, resentful… But she could never come back. I hated her only because she had abandoned me so mercilessly. She left me behind! How could she leave me behind?

We were thousands of miles apart, and I thought we would never meet again in this life. It seemed Heaven had heard my sincere prayers. When we met again, my long-stilled heart seemed to pound wildly.

My blood. My heart. My trembling hands.

Mingyue had finally returned to my side. I belonged to her, didn’t I? This time, I had to stay by her side. I would never let her abandon me again.

I would give you everything I have.

[Reader’s guide]

1. This is a fictional setting. Please don’t scrutinize the history or logic. The political maneuvering is light and serves only to develop the characters and move the romance forward.

2. Strong female lead. The leads have a role-reversed relationship. The heroine is independent, strong, and beautiful. The male lead is a virgin; the heroine has been with other men, and both the male lead and the supporting male characters are virgins. They all fall for the heroine. The story ends with one-on-one pairing.

3. The male lead falls for her first and is a hopeless romantic. He’s cold to outsiders and a brooding, devoted dog at home. The heroine uses him at first.

4. This is a traditional historical setting, not a matriarchal one. The extras may include male pregnancy fantasies, separate from the main story. If male pregnancy bothers you, please take note and don’t purchase the extras.

I’m sensitive and don’t accept advice or arguments about anything already covered in the reader’s guide.

The following is a preview of an upcoming novel, (Please add it to your library~)

[Falsely debauched, truly oblivious second-generation rich × Falsely tolerant, truly jealous brother-in-law]

The eldest daughter of the Shen family was born frail and sickly, barely clinging to life. Fortunately, the Shens were wealthy merchants with a thriving business and could afford to keep her alive.

But the Shen family head and her husband could only worry, so they arranged for someone to take a look at her prospects.

“The eldest daughter’s condition can be remedied.”

The Shen couple asked, “How?”

Shen Qinglan never imagined her parents would believe in such things. In the end, they found her elder sister a young husband to bring her good luck.

The young man was stunningly beautiful, but when they asked around, they learned he’d been bought from a poor mountain village for fifty taels of silver.

The Lu family was in dire financial straits. To get the money for her younger sister’s husband, they couldn’t wait to send Lu Yuanyuan to the Shen household. The sight of them smiling as they pocketed the silver made him give up hope.

He never thought he’d be so unlucky.

Less than a month after Lu Yuanyuan married into the Shen family, the eldest Shen daughter died.

But there was nothing to be done. A man whose wife had died couldn’t remarry, and after barely meeting his wife a few times, he was already a widower.

Shen Qinglan felt sorry for her brother-in-law and treated him with great care. Little did she know he would repay her kindness by falling in love with her.

What was she supposed to do?

No, she couldn’t be that kind of person. He shouldn’t even think about it.

Then one time, she drank herself into a blackout, and something happened (probably).

Shen Qinglan remembered nothing. But a few months later, her brother-in-law’s belly began to grow round.

The head of the Shen family thought her son-in-law had been fooling around and was about to punish him under the family law.

Shen Qinglan hurriedly stepped in front of him. “Mother, there may be another explanation. Let’s ask him first.”

“He’s been unfaithful to his husbandly duties. Your sister has been gone for ages. Where would a child come from?”

Lu Yuanyuan lowered his eyes and gently stroked his rounded belly, casting a resentful glance at the person blocking the family head. “The child isn’t Qing’an’s, but it is indeed one of your Shen family’s.”

Shen Mother: ?

Shen Qinglan: ??? Don’t drag me into this.

[Reader’s guide]

1. Fictional setting, lighthearted story. Please don’t scrutinize the details. One-on-one pairing, both leads are virgins.

2. Matriarchal setting, male pregnancy, and a pregnancy-before-love romance, with many original worldbuilding elements. Don’t read if that’s not your thing.

3. The male lead falls first. Both the male lead and the second male lead fall for the heroine, who is as thick as a plank and slow to understand her feelings. She is not a perfect character.

4. There is no romance between the male lead and the heroine’s elder sister. Don’t read if the relationship setup bothers you.

Theme: Justice will prevail in the end.
