After the White Moonlight Faked Their Death

[The entire novel is already written. Updates will follow the ranking schedule if it makes the list; otherwise, updates will be every other day.]

For the seventeen years she has been the Prime Minister's eldest daughter, Li Daiyao has been sweet and obedient, following the rules for young ladies and never overstepping her bounds.

Until she meets Pei Hong.

She never knew someone like him existed: cold and hard as an iceberg, taciturn and distant, yet somehow impossible to look away from.

Li Daiyao falls hopelessly in love. At first, Pei Hong barely pays attention to her and is always saying cruel things to her.

But with time, even an iceberg melts in the sunlight.

After all, who could fail to love Li Daiyao?

Li Daiyao gets her wish and marries him. They have an adorable child, and their lives are peaceful and complete.

But then, in a sudden upheaval, her entire family is wiped out, and everything beautiful vanishes like a bubble.

Li Daiyao regrets it.

She should have listened to her brother. She should never have gone near Pei Hong, let alone fallen for him like a moth to a flame.

I must not fall in love with Li Daiyao.

Pei Hong keeps reminding himself.

Though they have shared a bed and lived in harmony all these years, it has all been an act. He doesn't love her at all.

But why...

After Li Daiyao disappeared, his heart died with her.

He searches the entire capital like a madman, looking everywhere she might have gone, but his A Yao will never come back.

Pei Hong believes he has done nothing in this life to shame heaven or earth, but he has wronged the girl whose heart and eyes held only him.

He regrets it.

He loves Li Daiyao far more deeply and completely than he ever imagined.

But his mistake was approaching the Prime Minister's residence with an ulterior motive from the very beginning.

Seeds of wrongdoing can only blossom into withered flowers.

He wants nothing anymore, not even his own life.

He only hopes A Yao will return safely.

Theme: People can get better, and flowers will bloom.
