Comets and Nocturnal Animals

Shen Jianing, courtesy name Langzi, is nicknamed the Flirtatious Peacock. When it comes to being a flirt, he's number one in all of T City. Nobody would dare claim second place.

Shen Jianing: If we're playing Werewolf and I'm the knight, I'll ride you.

Ling Mu: What if I'm not a werewolf?

Shen Jianing: Then I'll still ride you.

Ling Mu: Maybe you should reconsider your choice of words?

Shen Jianing: Don't get the wrong idea. I mean riding you in the purely physical sense.

Ling Mu: ...

In the past, Shen Jianing had everything. He was the favored son of heaven, and love was merely a trivial pastime in his life.

Then Ling Mu appeared, and he finally believed in love at first sight and in fate.

Unfortunately, he later lost the most precious treasure he had ever cherished.

And so begins his journey to win his wife back, no matter how badly he gets burned.

My super-sweet romance about the powerful families of Beijing, A Tribute to Us, is currently updating. Please come and read!

* Sharp-tongued, proud, deeply devoted young master x gentle, perceptive, quietly stubborn young lady

* CEO romance with indulgent affection / Beijing elite families / childhood sweethearts / mutual pining / rivals competing for her, then facing the consequences

Yin Jihong, head of the Yin media empire and a top-tier star among Beijing's elite. His every gesture can determine someone's fate, yet he gives all his favoritism to his childhood friend, Jinmo.

To Jinmo, Yin Jihong is etched into her very bones. From the days when she wore split-crotch pants to the graceful young woman she is now, this man has never left her side, filling more than twenty years of her life.

Until one late night, as she curled up on his sofa watching an old movie with her head resting on his knee, she casually told him, “I'm getting married.”

The breathing above her stopped abruptly. As she stared in astonishment, he, who had always taken life lightly, grabbed her wrist. A dark tide never before revealed surged in his eyes. “Jinmo, I taught you calculus and physics. I've been with you every step of your life. What makes you think I'd let someone else be the final answer?”

-

Jinmo is gentle and reserved, with a mild temperament. Yet Yin Jihong has made her infamous in their circle as a “she-devil.”

The night before, Yin Jihong had acted like a beast again. She could no longer stand it and gave him a furious scolding in the early hours of the morning.

At the Yin family's executive meeting the next day, all the senior executives sat around the long table, their eyes glued to Yin Jihong's neck. They wanted to sneak a look but didn't dare. In the middle of winter, their CEO had insisted on leaving his sweater collar wide open, as if he couldn't wait to announce the red nail marks on his neck to the whole world.

Halfway through the meeting, Yin Jihong crossed his legs and propped his chin on one hand, surveying everyone with a brazen look. “Should I hand out magnifying glasses to each of you? You seem to be having such a hard time seeing.”

The executives broke into a cold sweat and fell silent, not daring to breathe. Then they heard him sigh heavily. “Can't be helped. My darling has a terrible temper. When she gets mad, she likes to rough me up.”

One executive tried to comfort their pitiful CEO, and bravely chimed in, “President Yin, your wife is so fierce. You must have it tough...”

“Say that again? Fierce?” Yin Jihong asked with a faint smile. “My darling is a little fairy. How can you call her fierce? Believe it or not, I'll scratch your face up right now.”

The executives: “...”

Love is moonlight that cannot be hidden. Sooner or later, it will spill over the banks of friendship and sweep you and me into the tide called fate.

I dedicate this to the love of my life, whom I kept hidden in my heart for half a lifetime.
