The Weary Moonlight Beloved Is Being Kept by a Wealthy Daddy

After a serious illness, Li Qingyu awakened to the truth.

It turned out he had been sickly since childhood, and that his family went bankrupt when he was young, forcing him to move abroad. His parents died, all because he was the unattainable first love in a novel.

But the story wasn't over. Next, he was supposed to return home, be hounded by the male lead, and face hostility and persecution from the love interest and his admirers. Finally, he and the love interest would be kidnapped at sea, forcing the male lead to choose between them. The story would end with Li Qingyu falling into the sea and dying.

Li Qingyu was tired.

And by the time he awakened to all this, he was already sitting in first class on a flight home.

·

Shen Xiting's unattainable first love, who had gone abroad seven years ago, was back. He abandoned the stand-in he'd recently taken an interest in, canceled all his work, and went to meet him at the airport.

Li Qingyu was just as he remembered: aloof and flawless, like a pure white lily.

Carrying the ache of his teenage crush, Shen Xiting brought him home without a hitch.

Li Qingyu settled into the Shen family home. On sunny days, he basked in the sun in the glass conservatory, or curled up under a soft blanket on the living-room sofa to read quietly. He was like an exquisite painting. Just sitting there was enough to make it impossible to look away.

Shen Xiting was thrilled, thinking that at last his years of longing had led him through the clouds to the moon. For Li Qingyu's sake, he cut off all his lovers and stand-ins and devoted himself entirely to him.

Until he learned that Li Qingyu and the stand-in he had kept were kidnapped together.

As he hurried out to sea, struggling under the kidnappers' threats, he saw Li Qingyu already in another man's arms, one arm around his waist, climbing aboard a helicopter.

When Shen Xiting saw the tall man in a sharp suit, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

That was his dad!

Li Qingyu leaned listlessly against the man's broad shoulder, like a cool, aloof cat.

"It's over," Shen Boyan said, turning his head to kiss his hair. "Sweetheart, let's go home."

·

From the moment he returned home, Li Qingyu had been deliberately getting close to someone outside the original plot: Shen Xiting's father in name.

He succeeded. The man gave him protection, helped him avoid the story's tragic events, punished those who bullied him, and investigated the truth behind his parents' deaths.

Feeling once more the warmth and affection he'd known before his family fell apart seven years ago, Li Qingyu looked down at the mature man kneeling to put socks on his feet and said listlessly, "Actually, everything I've told you is a lie. I got close to you because I had an ulterior motive."

The man chuckled and kissed the top of his pale, slender foot. "It's my honor, sweetheart."
