I Can't Believe I'm My Arch-Enemy's White Moonlight

This novel will be serialized starting August 9, with chapters from Chapter 35 onward behind a paywall. Thank you so much for staying with me and supporting me all this time. You have truly warmed my heart~

★ Versatile, romantically oblivious, no-nonsense heroine X sharp-tongued, flirtatious hero who always shoots himself in the foot ★

Gu Shuyan grew up in the countryside. She was handy with crafts, good at hard work, and a capable cook. She thought she would spend her life in quiet simplicity.

By chance, she came down from the mountains with her father, who had left office years ago, and began studying at the same academy as Ye Changning, the eldest grandson of the Grand Secretary.

Ye Changning was strikingly handsome. Everyone said he was modest, courteous, reasonable, and studious, the very picture of a refined young gentleman.

He was also the dream man of every young lady in the capital.

Whenever he appeared, people showered him with all sorts of praise.

Gu Shuyan could only think that anyone who liked him had to be blind!

They first met in the academy's woods. She was happily amusing herself when he suddenly attacked her, injuring her and then insisting he was in the right.

She'd never met anyone so petty. She decided to stay away from him and have absolutely nothing to do with him.

But the more she avoided him, the more he seemed to show up in front of her, and the more peculiar the look in his eyes became.

On an outing, she accidentally fell into an enemy trap. He sneered, "You're so stupid. Don't come near me."

But then he slaughtered every last enemy and threatened them: "Anyone who lays a finger on her again had better watch out. I'll make sure your ancestors' graves are disturbed for eighteen generations!"

When she accidentally got hurt, she didn't think it was a big deal. He glared at her and snapped, "I hope it hurts until you die!"

Then he turned around and brought her more than a dozen jars of rare medicinal ointment.

Gu Shuyan was beginning to wonder if Ye Changning had some kind of eye disease. Couldn't he tell she couldn't stand him?

What? You say you've been secretly in love with me for years, and I'm your moonlight?

Blurb:

★ Sincere compliment-giving sweetheart heroine who heals a female constable X beautiful, strong, and secretly smitten brooding Embroidered Uniform Guard who finally opens up ★

Jing Sheng's family fell apart when she was young, leaving her and her widowed mother to rely on each other.

To survive and uncover the truth behind her father's death, she became a temporary constable at a shabby, impoverished yamen on the outskirts of the capital.

She caught chickens, searched for lost dogs, and mediated quarrels between neighborhood aunties. Jing Sheng never got close to the truth, but she did become very good at reading people and flattering them.

One day, Qin Wuyou, the Duke of Zhenguo's only son, galloped through the streets while working a case, sending pedestrians tumbling everywhere.

The patrolling constables were furious. They shouted that whoever he was, he had some nerve riding recklessly through the capital. Then they looked up and saw Qin Wuyou's unsmiling, deathlike face, along with the mission token at his waist.

The constables fell silent with fear and pushed temporary worker Jing Sheng forward.

Qin Wuyou rode up, looked down at her, and asked frostily, "Something you need?"

Jing Sheng swallowed hard. "O-Of course. Next time you descend from the heavens, please give us a heads-up."

Qin Wuyou, an Embroidered Uniform Guard serving at the palace, had a face as bright as the moon and a mind full of stormy seas. He was greatly favored by the emperor.

He should have had a brilliant future, but rumors painted him as cold and ruthless, with devastating methods and strange, twisted tastes. They said he loved killing without mercy. He became the nightmare of the capital's young ladies, and everyone avoided him.

The emperor kindly arranged a marriage for him. When several noble young ladies received the news, they packed their bags and fled in the middle of the night.

Qin Wuyou was a peerless prodigy, a scion of a grand family, and well past twenty, yet he still couldn't find a woman to his liking.

Until the day he met a little constable who spoke in a particularly sweet way.

"Since I have to marry someone anyway, I might as well bring home someone who knows how to talk and will be easy to handle."

Later, Qin Wuyou realized he had been far too naive.

#One talks a big game, and the other is happy to believe it.#
