You Once Came Treading on Moonlight

[Complete. Weibo: @BanXiaoJiuYa] [My next book, I Love You Where No One Can See, is open for follows!] The annual finale of season three of Sing and Song has ended. Newcomer Song Jinghuai has beaten a host of veteran musicians to become the year's champion, like a dark horse charging to victory. People are captivated by his singing, but they are just as enchanted by his flawless good looks. That night, #SongJinghuai shoots to the top of the trending topics. Clicking on the hashtag, they see a profile shot of a man singing softly with his eyes lowered: strong brows, bright eyes, and an air of tenderness. Qin Zhike is currently the most popular infamous actress around. She's great at flirting with men and is always seen with different male stars, making her the bane of every female fan's existence. A new escape-room variety show has recently appeared out of nowhere. Qin Zhike and Song Jinghuai are among its regular cast members. Song Jinghuai's fans aren't happy, but the production team stubbornly goes ahead and films the first episode. On the day of filming, people notice the strange tension between the two. They seem to be at odds, competing to solve puzzles faster and sabotaging each other during solo missions, until they both manage to trap themselves in a two-person escape room. Song Jinghuai wants to go left, while Qin Zhike insists on going right. They argue and even get physical. Just as the crew is about to stop filming, Song Jinghuai suddenly hoists Qin Zhike over his shoulder and carries her off to the left without a word. His voice is lazy as he says, "What a temper. So stubborn." The production team: ...Can we air this? - Later, gossip accounts dig up the fact that Qin Zhike and Song Jinghuai have known each other for years, and were childhood sweethearts. Netizens joke, "If they don't get married, this is going to end badly." A few days later, during a media interview, Qin Zhike openly admits, "We've known each other for years, yes. But we weren't childhood sweethearts. We have a blood feud." Reporter: "Why?" Qin Zhike: "We used to fight all the time as kids. I knocked out four of his teeth, and he split my head open. See this scar on my forehead? He gave it to me." One netizen is puzzled. If they have such a blood feud, why were they so sweet on the show, holding hands and hugging, just short of kissing? Qin Zhike quickly replies: [It was all scripted.] While netizens are still reeling from the disappointment, Song Jinghuai himself comments on her reply: [What script? Show me.] - 1. Both leads are virgins. Bickering rivals and childhood sweethearts. 2. A genuine blood feud at first, then genuine, overwhelming sweetness. 3. The heroine isn't actually involved with all those male stars, and she doesn't flirt with them. The gossip accounts and haters are just maliciously stirring things up. Synopsis updated on October 7, 2022. -- Coming soon: I Love You Where No One Can See In the eighth year of Wen Zhixu's unrequited love for Xie Yanzhuo, he proposes to her. Everyone knows about the feelings she had as a young girl, and their former classmates all congratulate her, celebrating that her wish has finally come true. At last, her secret love is out in the open. At a reunion before the engagement, Wen Zhixu and Xie Yanzhuo become the center of everyone's teasing. After several rounds of drinks, Wen Zhixu returns from the restroom, but stops when she hears the conversation inside the private room. Someone asks Xie Yanzhuo why he chose Wen Zhixu in the end. Xie Yanzhuo replies casually, "Well, if you're getting married, you might as well find someone who loves you. Wen Zhixu is a good fit." Wen Zhixu stands outside, her face pale. A faint chime sounds, and she turns around trembling. A few steps away by the wall, Xu Chen lowers his head to shield his cigarette. He looks up with it between his lips and gestures carelessly toward the people inside. "If I were you, I'd dump him." Wen Zhixu gets married at twenty-five, to Xu Chen, a man who had once seemed to have nothing to do with her. Xu Chen comes from a wealthy, scholarly family, but in other people's eyes he's a spoiled playboy, arrogant and unruly. Everyone thinks he's a poor match for Wen Zhixu, but she only says, "Who says there has to be a perfect match? A marriage without love doesn't come with any baggage." Wen Zhixu has always thought Xu Chen married her out of pity. Until one day, while moving house, she finds a slip of paper covered in her name inside one of Xu Chen's high school textbooks. In the upper-right corner is the number "35." When Wen Zhixu was fifteen, she received an anonymous note that read: [Wen Zhixu, the distance between us is 35 steps.] The year Xu Chen married Wen Zhixu was the tenth year he had loved her. --The fog rose all around. I hid my love in secret, loving you where no one could see. Wen Zhixu: You may not know, but I know you. - Theme: Growing together.
