Q: What's it like when your ex-girlfriend suddenly turns out to be the heiress of a family your family has been close to for generations?
Lu Yan: It's convenient. You can get to the moon by reaching for it from the tower nearest the water.

Lu Yan was born a favorite of the heavens. With his excellent family background and good looks, everyone called him "bro" when they saw him. But no one knew that he, too, had suffered setbacks.
Under orders from Old Master Lu, he went to celebrate Old Master Xia's eightieth birthday. The official excuse was to offer birthday wishes, but in reality, he was supposed to get to know the Xia family's daughter.
Anyone could see it was a business marriage.
When his friends slung their arms around his neck and asked how the matchmaking had gone, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, "I haven't even met her yet."
His friends looked at one another in confusion. They'd just seen him standing face-to-face with the Xia family's daughter. How could he now claim he hadn't seen her?
When they looked again, Lu Yan was no longer where he'd been.
Then they spotted him, picking on a girl.
But who was she?
-
Lu Yan never expected their reunion to come so suddenly. He watched the young woman sitting alone on a sofa in the corner, wearing an expensive evening gown and holding a glass of wine as she coldly observed the sycophants around her.
Her stubborn nature set her apart from all the socialites and young masters in attendance. He didn't know why she was there. He only knew that this time, he wouldn't let her go again.
-
Xia Li Ning hadn't expected their second meeting after reuniting to come so soon. Remembering how Lu Yan had snatched her glass of wine the last time, she couldn't bring herself to be nice to him.
But she put up with him again and again for work, visiting him repeatedly with a bright smile to ask him to appear on the cover of the magazine's latest issue.
Lu Yan leaned back in his chair with one leg crossed over the other, grinning carelessly. "How about you become my fiancee?"
"..." This guy was such a jerk.
-
Everyone knew the Lu and Xia families were going to be joined in marriage. They just hadn't expected Lu Yan to marry the biological granddaughter Old Master Xia had only recently found.
Their romance was a whirlwind, and everyone knew how much Lu Yan doted on Xia Li Ning.
If she wanted the moon, he'd climb into the sky and pluck it down for her.
If she was wronged, he'd make sure whoever had wronged her paid for it.

I once embraced the world and gazed upon desolation all around me. In the end, I still ran to you, embracing you and kissing you passionately.
