Genius singer Xu Zhifan reached the top of the music scene at a young age.

After a brief moment of glory, an accident forced him to leave the stage. He vanished without a trace, becoming the unattainable moonlight in the hearts of an entire generation.

Three years later, an unknown singer named Jian Meng, who claims to be Xu Zhifan's fan, becomes popular by covering his songs. She even confesses boldly during a livestream: "God Xu, I like you so much!"

Luckily, Xu Zhifan only responds politely with a fireworks effect.

What they don't know is that as soon as Jian Meng's livestream ends, the man pins her against the study door. "How is liking me enough? I want you to love me."

In her senior year of high school, Jian Meng fell for Xu Zhifan, but they were worlds apart.

She was struggling to keep up with her own life, while he sat high upon his altar.

All she could do was bury her feelings and quietly be his fan.

Until five years later...

The Xu family searched for a marriage partner for him after he was injured and left show business. Everyone else avoided the match, but Jian Meng accepted it wholeheartedly.

Only after they married did she discover that

he wasn't disfigured as the rumors claimed. He was even more handsome and aloof than before.

He hadn't abandoned music as the rumors claimed. He'd written enough songs for her to release two albums.

He wasn't unable to care for himself as the rumors claimed. He could tie on an apron and cook her a whole table of dishes.

And as for the rumors that he "couldn't perform anymore"...

Jian Meng: "...Who started that rumor? Show yourself!"

The man replies coolly and innocently: "Ahem, it wasn't me."

I heard the new transfer student in our class was the granddaughter of a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The whole class lined up to have her take their pulses. Ji Qingye looked disdainful, but his long legs carried him over before his brain could catch up.

His classmates naturally made room for Brother Ye. Ji Qingye sat down, rested his muscular forearm on the desk, and raised an eyebrow at the girl opposite him.

The girl was neat and pretty, wearing glasses. She ignored his challenging gaze and placed three slender, pale fingers on his wrist.

After a moment, with the whole class watching, the girl said two cool, emotionless words:

"Kidney deficiency."

Ji Qingye: "..."

Ji Qingye never forgot the "kidney deficiency" insult. He was just waiting for a chance to get even.

One day, one of his underlings came running to report, "Brother Ye, those senior girls want to teach our class's little doctor a lesson. Let's go watch!"

Ji Qingye rushed to the scene. The slim, delicate girl stood in the middle of a crowd of girls, letting them shove her around without budging, her expression calm.

Everyone stared in disbelief. "That composure, that stance..."

Ji Qingye: "She's as sturdy as an iron pillar."

The girl in the crowd heard him and glanced over coolly.

Ji Qingye: "..."

What's going on? My legs feel weak.
