Determined heiress from a wealthy family x aloof, brooding, unhinged movie star

++ The heroine forces her love on him // groveling romance // lovers reunited after a breakup // melodrama

Shen Xinglin knew the moment she first saw Ling Huo that he had to be hers.

And she made it happen.

They were together for seven years. Ling Huo spoiled her rotten, treating her with meticulous care and tenderness, yet he never once told her, "I love you."

Ling Huo was like a cold, icy moon.

Shen Xinglin knew he didn't love her. Maybe he was simply incapable of loving anyone.

But it didn't matter. As long as she kept him by her side, as long as he kept "loving" her so dutifully, that was good enough.

Until one day, she saw him smile so tenderly at another woman. Even the moon, cold as concrete, seemed to glow with warmth.

So he could love someone. He just couldn't love her.

Rain poured down in torrents.

Ling Huo stood downstairs under an umbrella, watching Shen Xinglin walk upstairs with a man, laughing and chatting.

In the hazy light, he saw shadows flickering back and forth.

His handsome, stern face turned to ice as he placed a call.

On the other end, Shen Xinglin's voice was impatient. "What is it, Mr. Ling?"

Ling Huo stared fixedly at the window upstairs and said coldly, "Come down."

"I'm going to bed." A shadow swayed.

Ling Huo threw away his umbrella. His pale fingers clenched around his phone as he raised his voice and shouted, "Shen Xinglin, come down!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end. "Are you crazy? I'm hanging up."

"Don't." Ling Huo's eyes reddened, his thin lips pressed into a line. He begged, almost pleading, "Xingxing, come down."

The curtains upstairs slowly parted.

Shen Xinglin stood at the window, looking down at him with cold eyes. She watched him for a moment, then suddenly curled her lips into a mocking smile and hung up.
