Blurb:

Recently, a notorious problem girl transferred into Class Eight.

Word has it she's a longtime fixture on the disciplinary notice board at Jingcai No. 1 High School, and the reigning champion at the bottom of the grade rankings.

On her first day, the homeroom teacher waved a hand and sat her beside Wen Jiaze, the school's pride and joy, the unshakable number-one student in the grade.

When the aloof, taciturn top student meets the infamous girl, everyone eagerly waits each day to see when the battle of the century will break out.

A month later, all is peaceful.

Everyone: Let's wait a little longer. I refuse to believe Wen Jiaze can keep putting up with her!

Some time later, someone rushes over with urgent news.

Everyone: Have they started fighting?

Messenger: No, Brother Wen is helping her with a problem.

Everyone: ???

Later, before the battle of the century ever comes, someone spots them in a shadowy corner of the library one afternoon. The boy drapes his jacket over the sleeping girl and presses an exceedingly gentle, careful kiss to her forehead.

- If she loves the light, then I'll be the summer solstice sun forever.

A recommendation from a friend's book:

"Not Close [Entertainment Industry]" by Nuoli

"Long Days Ahead"

*Reunion after years apart, secret love comes true

*Devoted romantic x his white moonlight

After graduation, Wen Shunian hits one dead end after another in her job search. At last, a friend helps her find a part-time tutoring job.

The hourly pay is tempting, but the employer is mysterious, never around when she needs him.

The child she's supposed to tutor is also a handful: skipping school, hating studies, refusing to communicate, and making every moment feel like a hell-difficulty challenge.

She sticks to her principle of doing the job she's paid for, and after day upon day of patient guidance, she finally wins the little tyrant's favor.

Then the little tyrant throws a new challenge her way: pretend to be his parent and attend a parent-teacher meeting for a student at the bottom of the class.

Under pressure and temptation, she has no choice but to go.

After a frantic trip to the school, she looks at the crowded classroom and the teacher on the podium, then forces out a professional fake smile. "Sorry I'm late, Teacher Wang. I'm Ye Qiong's sister-in-law."

After a brief commotion, a tall, elegant figure slowly rises inside and looks at her with an amused smile. "Come on in, wife."

"?"

On the way back, the fake sister-in-law faces the real older brother beside her, trembling inside. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

The man slowly turns the ring on his pinky and sighs with regret. "You really have caused me trouble. If I can't find a wife now, aren't you going to take responsibility?"

"??"

Is tricking people hereditary in your family or something?

The year they graduated high school, Lu Xingyu filled out forty-one yearbooks: forty with "Wishing you a bright future," and one with "Long days ahead."

Before graduation, he heard that everyone who exchanged yearbooks would go their separate ways. From then on, that "Long days ahead," along with the love letter he never sent, was locked away in a dark cabinet.

#A decade of secret love, known to no one. One "wife" later, his white moonlight is his?#

Theme: Everyone has a light of their own.
