Moonlight Adorning the Sea [Entertainment Industry]

New novel: Birds in the Abyss. Blurb at the very bottom

[1]

When Jiang Wanzhao was eight, she became the child who had been switched at birth in a wealthy family.

She was left behind at the Jiang family's seaside villa, watching as her parents led their real daughter, Jiang Qing, away by the hand.

From that day on, she was just an orphan living under someone else's roof.

When Jiang Wanzhao was eighteen, she met Gu Shiming, who had come on vacation with the Jiang family.

Born into a distinguished family, the young man was gentle and refined. At first, Jiang Wanzhao did not even dare look at him.

Until one night, Gu Shiming blocked her path as she came out of the kitchen after secretly washing the dishes.

"Do you hate me?"

And so, this time, she lost more devastatingly than ever before.

When Gu Shiming saw Jiang Wanzhao again, she was weeping beautifully in a TV drama.

The second time, news broke that she was dating a top-tier star.

By the third time, Gu Shiming had invited her to a drinking party.

In the dim light, Jiang Wanzhao slipped out of her high heels and discreetly brushed her toe against Gu Shiming's leg.

Then she said, "Mr. Gu, how about giving me the supporting female role?"

Gu Shiming took his time and sipped his red wine. "What will you give me in exchange?"

Jiang Wanzhao did not get her wish for the supporting role. Instead, she got the lead, successfully transforming from a little-known female idol into an actress.

The day after the celebratory banquet, Jiang Wanzhao was exposed for having a child out of wedlock. Headlines flooded the internet, accusing her of lacking professional ethics and having a chaotic private life.

Faced with the scandal about her, Gu Shiming's eyes reddened for the first time. His hands trembling, he registered a Weibo account.

In the dead of night, under everyone's watchful eyes, he did not disappoint and posted: "Mine. @Jiang Wanzhao"

The whole entertainment industry and beyond was in an uproar.

New novel: Birds in the Abyss

When Ning Ru was twenty, she was carefully made up and sent to meet He Yaowen. Their encounter had been planned, but in the end, He Yaowen still took her home.

Back then, Ning Ru was as alluring as a freshly picked rose, yet vulgar and shallow, with a wretched family background.

He Yaowen, on the other hand, was a favored son of heaven: a young and successful heir to a prominent family, the object of desire for countless society ladies.

Everyone said that meeting He Yaowen was a blessing she had earned over eighteen lifetimes.

From then on, Ning Ru lived in the gilded cage He Yaowen had built for her.

Facing his handsome, cold face, she always dutifully used every trick she knew to satisfy him.

Everyone thought Ning Ru loved He Yaowen only for his money.

Only she knew how deeply and humbly she loved him.

For seven years, she tried to warm his heart, wanting only for him to see her.

But from beginning to end, He Yaowen merely toyed with her, making sure she could never leave him.

He got engaged to someone else, yet told her, "Even in death, you have to die by my side."

Ning Ru finally saw through him and ran away.

On the first day He Yaowen discovered she was gone, he sat in their shared bedroom and sneered.

On the second day, he threw away everything of hers in the villa.

On the third day, he secretly gathered up everything he had thrown away.

Then one day, drunk, He Yaowen slapped the person who had teased him about Ning Ru in front of him. "She's not my mistress. She's my girlfriend."

Later, He Yaowen found out where Ning Ru was.

In the pouring rain, Ning Ru walked past him under her umbrella after working late.

Her gaze swept casually over his face, dampened by the rain, as if he were a stranger.

He Yaowen suddenly understood the pain she had endured for seven years.

He grabbed her arm and pleaded for the first time in his life: "Come home."

Ning Ru shook him off, brushed away the raindrops splashed onto her, and smiled mockingly.

"Fine. Give me back everything I lost during those seven years."

He Yaowen's heart turned ice-cold. Because of him, Ning Ru had once lost a child.

What he owed her might never be repaid.

Before long, the company where Ning Ru worked was bought by a mysterious person.

On her first morning back at work, Ning Ru was summoned to the CEO's office.

The person inside smiled ingratiatingly at her as she entered. "I'll owe you for now. I'll pay you back little by little."
