After the Dramatic Snake Demon Was Reborn, Her White Moonlight Hunted Her Down

(A little plug for my upcoming book: What Do I Do After Accidentally Marrying My Archenemy? A sweet romance about wealthy families. Blurb at the end.)

As a former investigator for the Bureau of Monster Affairs, Ning Zhou was meticulous, formidable, and utterly detached from love. His greatest regret was being too stubborn in his past life to confess to his unrequited love.

Right after being reborn, he steps outside and is unexpectedly swept up in a case. Under the searchlight, he sees a pair of upturned cat eyes he's dreamed of countless times, bright enough to astonish.

Just one glance is enough to make him lower his guard without thinking and surrender without a fight.

·

After finally clearing his name, Ning Zhou is itching to strike up a conversation with the young police officer who has the same face as his unrequited love, but he can't figure out how.

Unexpectedly, the other man arranges for him to work at a shelter, gives him a place to live, and supports his efforts to find jobs for the monsters. Apart from being aloof and fond of playing tricks, there's nothing to fault him for.

Is it you?

So many times, the words have almost slipped out.

Ning Zhou hates substitute tropes more than anything. No matter how wonderful Zhan Chiyu is, and no matter how many signs point to him being his unrequited love, he absolutely refuses to betray the moon he holds high in his heart.

But he's so alike, far too alike...

Though he prides himself on having a heart of stone, Ning Zhou can't help lowering himself.

He nudges here and rubs there, doing his best to get the other's attention, teasing a smile out of that cold expression just for him.

·

Zhan Chiyu, currently an investigator for the Bureau of Monster Affairs, is actually the cat demon Xie Feilian, Ning Zhou's secret crush from a hundred years ago. He has two secrets he must never tell Ning Zhou.

But Ning Zhou, now a snake demon, is even more demanding and harder to refuse than he was a hundred years ago. He clings to Zhan Chiyu until his heart and body go soft, telling him of his love over and over.

"I missed you. Did you miss me?"

"I can't live without you. I must have been reborn because of you..."

Unable to take it anymore, Zhan Chiyu turns away and covers the other's mouth, only for him to dodge with a mischievous grin and point at his lips:

"Give me a kiss, or tell me something I don't know, and I'll stop talking."

Zhan Chiyu's heart skips a beat. In the end, he closes his eyes and gently kisses Ning Zhou.

Upcoming book

(Coming in November)

Shen Nuoran is a wealthy young master recently welcomed back into his family. Not long after taking over a startup, he's already earned a reputation as a rising star with a bright future ahead of him.

In reality, his archenemy keeps poaching his employees and stealing his projects, leaving him in a sorry state. Then he unexpectedly learns that the so-called "archenemy" is just a front, and his real enemy is in the Qin family.

But his archenemy seems to realize that he's found out and strikes without hesitation, dealing Shen Nuoran's company a devastating blow.

His family is disappointed and pressures him to marry into the Qin family: "If you didn't still have that face, why would they agree to the marriage?"

Unable to bear the humiliation, Shen Nuoran flees in the middle of the night. In a daze, he ends up in bed with someone, who then kindly sends him back home.

His friend is speechless: Why not just marry into the family, find out who your archenemy is, and take them down?

Shen Nuoran: Oh, right!

But the moment he sees his marriage partner, he's dumbfounded. It's none other than his one-night stand, Qin Buzhou.

·

After the wedding, Qin Buzhou is always by Shen Nuoran's side. When he can't decide what to do with a project, Qin Buzhou offers advice. When his anxiety flares up, Qin Buzhou comforts him gently. He's treated with patience and even indulged, as if soaking in a hot spring.

But Qin Buzhou is the first person he suspects.

The reason is simple: If he's so capable, why is he doing odd jobs for his family?

Qin Buzhou doesn't try to hide it: In a wealthy family, an unfavored young master naturally has no future.

But when Shen Nuoran extracts information and tricks his archenemy into asking to cooperate, the person he sees is still Qin Buzhou.

·

Qin Buzhou, heir apparent to the Qin family. Everyone in the family knows him as cool and distant, but no one knows that he's long had a secret crush on Shen Nuoran.

At the time, the family was in turmoil, so he concealed his identity and hid away from trouble. That's when he met Shen Nuoran. Shen Nuoran was stunningly beautiful and overflowing with compassion. He was especially concerned about Qin Buzhou's fake poverty, and gave up on competing for first place to help him.

Under the dim light of a shabby lamp, Qin Buzhou saw his sincere heart. But by the time he mustered the courage to confess, Shen Nuoran had vanished without a trace. Not long afterward, he learned Shen Nuoran had been welcomed back into his wealthy family.

Filled with resentment, Qin Buzhou went after Shen Nuoran without holding back. But as soon as he heard about the arranged marriage, he hurried to marry him and planned to settle the score slowly.

When he learns that the moon hanging high above him has always been looking his way, he suppresses his delight. Step by step, he makes Shen Nuoran grow suspicious, nudges him into discovering the truth, and deliberately lets him win a round by leaking information. Then he leads him to a glittering banquet, where he can finally meet the real Qin Buzhou.

[Bonus Scene]

Someone later asks Qin Yizhou, "What if you can't win your wife over?"

Qin Yizhou: "Impossible."

Busybody: "So confident?"

Qin Yizhou: "You don't have a wife, so you wouldn't understand."

Annoyed busybody: "And who was it that kept making eyes at someone who couldn't see them?"

Shen Nuoran, passing by: "...I wasn't blind!"

Theme: Harmony between different species, protecting nature, and loving one person with all your heart.
