Rebellious young master x elegant, aloof starlet

Recently, the media in Nancheng reported two shocking events:

First, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Nijun, who had been missing for twenty-one years, was found.

Second, the Shen family of Nancheng and the Zhou family were to be joined in marriage.

Everyone knew that the Zhou family's eldest young master, Zhou Jian, was rebellious, flippant, and carefree. The Shen family's eldest daughter, Shen Nijun, had picture-perfect features and a calm, gentle nature. She was a famous leading actress at the Nancheng Theater.

The two were clearly a poor match.

As a result, not a single person outside the families had faith in this marriage alliance.

Sure enough, one day, amid the teasing of his pack of cronies, young master Zhou Jian openly expressed his disdain for his fiancée:

"She's just an actress."

Not long after, young master Zhou began appearing at the Nancheng Theater again and again, bending down to arrange Shen Nijun's skirt.

Everyone was stunned.

That night, Zhou Jian lifted her chin and said with a teasing smile, "My little lady, would you let your husband have a kiss?"

Shen Nijun glanced at him coolly. "I'm just an actress. How could I ever be worthy of you, Zhou..."

Before she could finish, he silenced her with a kiss.

The young master of the Zhou family declared with righteous conviction, "Whether you're worthy or not is for me to decide."

"I wondered why my longing for you remained hidden, only to realize it had already sunk into my bones." From The Peony Pavilion

My serialized column novel, Same Moonlight, is described below.

*Heartless and carefree x gentle, cunning

*The heroine is wicked, and the hero loves her anyway

*Seven-year age gap / love after marriage

The year Liang Zhaoyue turned eighteen, a man came to live with her family: Lu Qing'an, the son of her father's close friend.

Her impression of him was that he was a handsome, taciturn guy. She could go after him.

Not long after, Liang Zhaoyue won him over, then accidentally took things too far. The day she broke up with Lu Qing'an, she said just three words: "I'm bored of you."

Later, the Liang family fell into ruin, and the two families arranged for them to marry.

After the wedding, Liang Zhaoyue tried every possible way to provoke Lu Qing'an, hoping he'd get so furious that he would initiate a divorce.

Lu Qing'an gave Liang Zhaoyue four words in reply: "When I'm bored."

-

At Lu Qing'an's request, Liang Zhaoyue changed her ways, pretending to be an innocent, pure-hearted girl. She stopped going to bars, wearing heavy makeup, and drinking or smoking.

She did her best to please Lu Qing'an, all so she could get a divorce.

One day, Liang Zhaoyue came to stand before Lu Qing'an and held out both hands. Her voice was soft and pitiful. "Brother Lu, where's that divorce agreement you promised me?"

Lu Qing'an looked up, pinched her cheeks between his long fingers, and gazed at her expectant eyes with a dark expression. "What am I supposed to do, Zhaozhao? You're even more fun like this."

Liang Zhaoyue: You can play like that too???
