[This novel is complete. The full set costs only a few dollars. Please support the official release.]

After returning to China, Chen Yuyang goes around asking about Lin Mo, the white moonlight he's had a crush on for ages.

But then he hears Lin Mo is going on a blind date.

He comes up with a plan and hurries to intercept Lin Mo's date, offering money to strike a deal: "You take the money, and I'll go on the date."

At the appointed place, Chen Yuyang watches the person he's loved for years walking toward him and nervously knocks over his teacup.

A pair of pale, slender hands offers him a tissue. The voice is gentle and pleasant: "Careful."

At that moment, Chen Yuyang hears his heart pounding, just like it did all those years ago.

Lin Mo's friends and family keep trying to set him up on blind dates. He refuses again and again, but they won't give up.

He even tells them he likes men, but they just switch from introducing him to women to introducing him to men.

Lin Mo is stubborn. Once he sets his mind on something, he never lets it go.

He's kept someone in his heart for a long time.

But before he could confess his feelings, that person had already gone abroad.

His best friend badgers him until he agrees to go on a blind date.

But neither of them expects Lin Mo to meet the person he thought he'd never see again.

Lin Mo takes the initiative. "Hello, I'm your blind date."

Best friend: Since when has Lin Mo been so enthusiastic about blind dates?!

Wait, this isn't even the person I introduced him to!

Xie Mingzhu has been blind since childhood and was abandoned. Just as he was about to freeze to death, an old master who made bamboo mats found him.

From then on, he learned the craft from the old man, selling bamboo grasshoppers and little bamboo carvings.

The old master spent most of his savings to send him to a school for the blind, but one winter night he suddenly fell ill.

Just as Xie Mingzhu was struggling to raise money for treatment, a wealthy family came to see him. They said they would take the old master to the best hospital.

In return, he would have to win over the second young master of the Liang family.

Only then did Xie Mingzhu learn that he looked a lot like the second young master's white moonlight. They wanted him to be a stand-in.

Thinking of the old master's enormous medical bills and the little time he had left, Xie Mingzhu had no other choice.

But after he arrived at the Liang family home, the second young master, supposedly cold and unfeeling, treated him exceptionally well.

He drew designs for him and praised his craftsmanship.

He even took him to get treatment for his eyes and stood up for him against the people who had wronged him.

Xie Mingzhu kept telling himself that he didn't deserve this warmth.

He was only a stand-in and had no right to hope for more.

But even so, his longing kept growing wildly in his heart.

Until one day, the second young master proposed to him. "Xiaozhu, will you marry me?"

Xie Mingzhu froze. "But... aren't you in love with your white moonlight?"

Second Young Master Liang: "What white moonlight? You're the only one I love."

Xie Mingzhu: "???"
