Blurb 1: The Lu family of Yicheng lost a daughter. After going to great lengths to find her, they couldn't wait to pluck the stars and moon from the sky for her, laying out all kinds of limited-edition clothes and jewelry for her to choose from. Lu Xingyao looks at the dazzling pile without a flicker of emotion. "Just give me a study and fill it with English classics." The Lu family: "?" Lu Xingyao: "Oh, and can I skip a grade?" The Lu family: "???" Lu Xingyuan is the fake heiress, and she's constantly worried Lu Xingyao will kick her out. One day, she takes Lu Xingyao to her room and asks cautiously, "See anything you like? You can have it all!" Lu Xingyuan then catches the faintest hint of disdain crossing Lu Xingyao's face. "No need. I don't like any of it." Lu Xingyuan panics. "I won't fight you for clothes or jewelry anymore!" Lu Xingyao: "...You can have it all if you want." All she wants is an astronomical telescope, a library full of books, or at the very least, a copy of the Wusan exam-prep books. Blurb 2: Jing Yan says she's hard to cheer up. Lu Xingyao disagrees: isn't he the one who's really hard to please? The difficulty of making this young master Jing happy keeps rising. By the end, doing a research experiment would be quicker. After all, this young master Jing has no idea when to quit :) Blurb 3: That summer, the wind swept through the treetops. His heartbeat went out of rhythm, and a galaxy of stars returned to his dark, lifeless eyes. Before she arrived, the teacher said, "Jing Yan, with grades like yours, you won't even get into a second-tier university!" After she arrived, the teacher said, "Jing Yan, do you want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?" Everyone: "Oh my god! What kind of magic pill did he take?!" *Before he met her, the world was dark. After he met her, everything in his sight was starlight. *And she was the same.

After going to great lengths to find her, news spread around Yicheng that the Fu and Jiang families were arranging a marriage alliance. Everyone thought it was just the usual maneuvering among the wealthy, and that the two had no real feelings for each other. Sure enough, word soon got around that the Fu heiress had cut off contact with Young Master Jiang. Everyone started betting on when the engagement would be called off. Mrs. Jiang had just returned from a trip when she heard about it. Furious, she stormed to Jiang Jingxun's private residence and opened the door-- only to find a young woman in an oversized men's shirt, kicking Jiang Jingxun with her porcelain-white legs and rasping, "Get off me..." Jiang Jingxun drops to one knee, picks her up in his arms, and soothes her in a low voice. "Wife, I was wrong." Mrs. Jiang: "...You little brat, explain when the two of you had a fight! And when did you go and steal someone else's precious daughter???" Oh, right. Her son is grown up now. She can't just barge into his house anymore!!! * Zhou Yixun loved Jiang Jingxun for three summers. He was a child of heaven, admired by many. She was quiet and low-key, a pearl that kept its light hidden. Summer passed, and winter was on its way. Her secret crush ended, too. What she never expected was that his passionate romance was only just beginning. Blurb 2: When Zhou Yixun fell in love with Jiang Jingxun, she didn't know that meeting him would be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing was that they seemed to love each other. The curse was that, in his eyes, she seemed to be only a stand-in for someone else. Zhou Yixun wiped away her tears and hardened her heart. From then on, no one could catch her eye. Later, all anyone heard was that Young Master Jiang was going crazy trying to win someone back. According to reliable reports, someone saw him blocking a person at the door and desperately trying to pry it open to get inside. Everyone: "..." How have you not gotten your legs broken? *An innocent yet alluring, icy beauty x child of heaven, aloof fake ice prince, big shot who'll get on his knees for his wife *They break up and get back together. Either way, he's the one chasing her. *Broken engagement and rekindled love / reunion after a long separation / secret crush / both leads are each other's first and only / happy ending / mainly set in the city *Blurb written on 2020.04.25, 2020.11.30 Theme: Healing and redemption, the future is all starlight
