Kiss Beneath the Waning Moon

Everyone says Zhou Jinghang of Yaoda Science and Engineering Institute is an untouchable beauty on a high peak. Throughout college, countless people waited for him to fall from his pedestal.

Yu Li didn't like Zhou Jinghang.

But she was rotten to the core, and all she wanted was to mess up Zhou Jinghang's immaculate white shirt.

It took her almost half a year to win him over, then gave him nine months of sweet dreams.

Then she disappeared for three years.

They met again at a dinner party.

As always, her long hair and red lips made her dazzling and alluring.

But she slipped away to a quiet guest room to avoid the fuss, where she spotted a young man approaching from afar.

She gave a lazy smile and raised a hand.

"Excuse me, could I borrow a light?"

Back in the dimly lit banquet hall, Yu Li smiled openly. The young man stood close to her. She held his arm, lips curved in a faintly mocking smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is my junior." Also my unhinged first love, who doesn't care if he lives or dies.

"And this... is my fiance." Also the loveless, wealthy fiance arranged by my family.

Zhou Jinghang let out a cold laugh. He raised his glass and ground out a wish that they would be together for a hundred years.

Yu Li clinked glasses with him, accepting his challenge.

No one knew how Zhou Jinghang had pinned her against the cold fish tank in that dark, shadowy room,

his hand around her slender neck as he told her again and again that he hated her.

The next day.

That night, Zhou Jinghang swiped into Yu Li's hotel room and leaned against the wall.

I hear you've been getting around these past few years? Good thing I brought my medical checkup report.

I'm 188 centimeters tall, and my measurements are 101, 75, and 92. Oh, and that measurement down there matches my height in centimeters. Satisfied?

Yu Li: You don't have to spell it out. I remember, thanks. So what are you now?

"I'm planning to take his place myself."

Gorgeous, unhinged top-tier dream girl x heartbroken, lovesick, unhinged puppy-like younger man

-

He Qingyue attended a private gathering at someone's invitation. Beside the elderly man, who was well into his seventies, stood a young woman with an impressive command of tea ceremony.

Her smile was pure, her features exquisite, and she was as pristine as snow on a branch. He fell for her at first sight.

It was Minor Cold, and heavy snow lashed the trees, weighing down a fragrant white pear tree.

He Qingyue held an umbrella and heard her name from the old man, Ying.

She didn't quite catch it and turned back in confusion. A cold gust swept past, and white pear blossoms drifted through the air.

"Ying Chuxian."

She froze, a flicker of alarm passing through her eyes.

Then she replied politely,

"Mr. He, my surname is Chu, not Ying."

Her humble origins and showstopping beauty stirred the worst in him.

He began to see her as prey, wanting to make her calm, detached face show either tears or a plea for mercy.

At first, he was only honoring the old man's request to protect an insignificant young woman.

In the end, he fell completely, and willingly.

On a snowy London night, a distant waning crescent hung in the sky.

She watched the moon in the courtyard; he watched her from upstairs.

First he gave her his heart, then a marriage.

He was a skillful hunter, and she was the prey who tamed him.

He gave her the loyalty of a man who had never had faith in anything.

"Here's my bank statement, proof of assets, and last year's year-end medical report. I'll have Assistant Jiang put the other documents together and send them to you. I've also got my ID card and household register. If you're willing, meet me at the Nancheng Civil Affairs Bureau at eight tomorrow morning."

He Qingyue acted first and asked later, dragging Chuxian to the Nancheng Civil Affairs Bureau at eight to register their marriage.

They finished the paperwork at 8:20. At 8:25, Cheng Run, who had spent the night in the arms of a beauty, was horrified to discover that He Qingyue, who had never posted on Moments in his life, had uploaded a photo.

The marriage certificate's official seal was clear. The young woman leaned against him, smiling stiffly as if she had been forced into the marriage.
