The Moon Shines on Those Near the Water

Lu Zhang was a child abandoned by his parents. He grew up in an orphanage with Su Yu. Su Yu was very pretty, like a doll. She was a month younger than him and shy by nature. Her eyes gave her trouble, and she often couldn't see clearly. Ever since they were little, she had liked to hold on to the hem of his clothes and follow behind him. Lu Zhang was wild by nature. At seventeen, he got into fights with gangs, cracked someone's head open and sent them to the hospital, and became the king of the local troublemakers. He changed girlfriends one after another. Everyone was afraid of this hothead, and the only one who could stay by his side for long was Su Yu. That same year, the Lu family, the richest family in the country, found Lu Zhang and brought him back. There he met the Lu family's CEO, Lu Minchen, who was said to be his father. Lu Minchen leaned against a leather sofa, his expression cool and aloof. In his thirties, he possessed the refined composure of a mature man. Even without saying a word, his presence was so imposing it left people struggling to breathe. With a bandage on his face, Lu Zhang said, "I'll come back on one condition: bring my friend with me, and the Lu family must promise to cure her eyes." In a calm voice, Lu Minchen said, "The Lu family doesn't allow teenage relationships." "She's just my friend." Lu Zhang's answer was firm. Lu Minchen raised his eyes slightly, and just like that, Su Yu moved into the Lu family home. After returning to the Lu family, Lu Zhang worked hard, and with Lu Minchen's help, he accomplished a great deal in just five years. He wanted to cure Su Yu's eyes and didn't care what it cost, but just as before, he only saw her as a friend. He had countless lovers and girlfriends. The day Lu Zhang heard that Su Yu's eyesight had been restored, he nearly dropped the glass in his hand. He immediately put aside his work and flew back to the family home. Without even having time to greet anyone, he hurried upstairs, knocked on her door, and asked how she was. Su Yu seemed to have just woken up. She wasn't wearing shoes, her hair was a mess, and the straps of her nightdress had slipped off her rounded shoulders. There was a red mark below her collarbone. She was overjoyed to see him back and called out, "Brother Zhang." Lu Zhang waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "Can you see me clearly now?" Su Yu's eyes shone like stars, and she nodded emphatically. Then she realized her clothes were disheveled, blushed, and covered her chest. She said they could talk downstairs in a bit, then closed the door. Lu Zhang leaned against the hallway railing and couldn't help laughing. It felt as though all the pressure had lifted from him. What he didn't know was that, at that very moment, a mature man in a bathrobe was sitting elegantly on the balcony of Su Yu's room, drinking coffee. Reader's Guide: A love-triangle drama, one-on-one, both leads are virgins. This is purely my personal preference. The heroine is twenty. She is temporarily staying with the Lu family because of Brother Zhang and has no connection to the Lu family. The male lead is Lu Minchen, fourteen years older than her, a super workaholic CEO who's very busy. Please don't drag real life into this (hands together). Not every thirty-year-old in real life is a virgin either. A bow. A stress-relief story, with soap opera drama pushed to the extreme. The heroine is overly dependent on others at first, and everything she does is meant to trick the male lead into not marrying or taking a lover, so that Lu Zhang will be the only heir. Over time, she will be taught to become independent, find herself, and grow. If that's not your thing, read with caution. Theme: Learning independence and tolerance
