Stars on the Eaves

At the height of his career, Chu Jianxing was exposed in an explicit video.

One disaster followed another: his lover betrayed him, and his family members died... After Chu Jianxing gave up all hope and took his own life, he discovered that he had been reborn eleven years later in the body of Chu Mo, a little-known actor.

As it happened, this little-known actor was rumored to be the current lover of Chu Jianxing's scumbag ex-boyfriend.

In that case, Chu Jianxing's first lesson after being reborn was naturally to dump the scumbag, leave town, and focus on his career, striving to reach the pinnacle of life.

But before he could even manage the first step, Chu Jianxing realized that his scumbag ex-boyfriend seemed never to have forgotten his love for him.

And there might have been more to the story of his suicide all those years ago...

Ever since the moment Yan Linyuan watched Chu Jianxing fall to his death before his eyes, the image of Chu Jianxing dying had become an eternal nightmare in his heart.

He spent eleven years barely clinging to life, consumed by pain, regret, and self-reproach. On every night without Chu Jianxing, he lay alone, unable to sleep.

[I once saw a star land on the eaves, so close it seemed I could reach out and touch it.]

[But when I climbed onto the roof, I discovered that the star was still so very far away.]

Reading Guide:

1. A possessive, restrained, deeply devoted top x a proud bottom who is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Both are hopeless romantics, and from beginning to end, body and heart alike, they belong only to each other.

2. A semi-fictional world. The timeline is based on the real world but does not completely match it. The characters are not based on real people. Don't scrutinize the logic too closely; readers who insist on historical accuracy, beware.
