Tales of Love and Moonlight

1. Nan Hua first met Liang Wenzhu at a bar. She was a broke student with no connections, and an unknown bar singer. After her set, the manager took her to a private room upstairs, where a group of rich kids were drinking and having fun. As they laughed and joked, someone asked her name and told her to sing a few more songs. Amid all the teasing, only the man seated in the center of the room remained silent. He turned his head and lit a cigarette. Smoke curled around his striking, carefree profile, and his deep, narrow eyes seemed to conceal an underground river in full flood. He looked at everyone as if he cared for them. When Nan Hua was at a loss, the man stepped forward and calmly came to her rescue. "A voice this good isn't here for you to make fun of." Only later did she learn that he was the heir to one of the capital's most powerful families, Liang Wenzhu, the sole successor to the Liang family. Distinguished and refined, he wielded enormous influence in the business world, and no one dared cross him. 2. Nan Hua was too busy making ends meet to think about romance, yet as she and Liang Wenzhu grew closer, she gradually fell for his tenderness and indulgence. Liang Wenzhu gave her everything she wanted, but Nan Hua never forgot the vast gulf between them. She knew her place and never crossed the line. Before long, she ended their loveless relationship without hesitation. Everyone in their circle said Liang Wenzhu had carefully doted on a young woman, only to end things with her just like that. They lamented how cold-hearted the young master was, saying that no matter how good a relationship seemed, it could still come to this. Little did they know, Liang Wenzhu was the one who had been dumped. 3. The two met again at an exclusive banquet. Nan Hua was a rising singer. With her career at a standstill, she had no choice but to attend the banquet. Liang Wenzhu sat at the head of the table, surrounded by admirers. His dark, sharp eyes quietly watched Nan Hua, the woman he had once protected and cherished, pour wine for someone else. After several rounds of drinks, Nan Hua could barely hold her liquor. Her slender body swayed, and she politely declined a drink offered by an investor. He sneered, "Think you're a princess now? Who spoiled you rotten?" Liang Wenzhu rose with a dark expression and pulled Nan Hua into his arms, fixing the man with a cold look. "I did. Got a problem with that?" 4. One day, Nan Hua performed a sweet love song with a male singer. The audience cried out about how sweet they were together and went wild shipping them. In the dressing room backstage, Nan Hua had barely come offstage and hadn't even changed when someone came up behind her, pressed her against the wall, and kissed her soft lips. Liang Wenzhu murmured hoarsely, "You sing love songs with other people. When are you going to give me a title?" The man's voice came through the microphone Nan Hua was wearing, crystal clear throughout the venue, sending the audience into an uproar! That night, while the whole internet was abuzz, the Liang Group's CEO spoke up himself: "What's wrong with kissing my future wife?" - My next book: Off-Kilter Orbit Blurb: [1] At sixteen, Shen Yixing moved from a poor, backward seaside town into the Song family's luxurious mansion. Under the same roof lived Song Yan, the pampered young master of the Song family. With his neat brows and dark eyes, he always sneered and called her a "country bumpkin," openly showing how much he disliked her and often playing nasty tricks on her. The first time Shen Yixing met Song Qinglan, she was drenched by the rain, miserable and bedraggled, with her schoolbag thrown into the fountain. A black SUV stopped in front of her. The man got out unhurriedly, held an umbrella over her head, and ruffled her hair. His voice was languid as he said, "If someone bullies you, hit back. I've got your back." That night, Song Qinglan casually tossed his nephew's schoolbag away and taught the girl to give as good as she got. When Shen Yixing came down with a high fever that night, Song Qinglan stayed up to watch over her. Song Yan, meanwhile, was scolded and made to kneel all night, writing "I'm sorry" a thousand times. [2] It turned out that the unruly, arrogant Song Yan had a natural nemesis: his uncle, Song Qinglan. This wasn't the first time Shen Yixing had seen Song Qinglan's face, but it was the first time she had seen this award-winning actor in person, standing right in front of her. The media showered him with praise, and countless people hailed him as a legend of the silver screen. In everyone's eyes, Song Qinglan was carefree and rebellious, with no one able to catch his attention. He was only ever gentle with Shen Yixing. When others gossiped and tried to pry, he answered nonchalantly, "She's just a kid. I'm not an animal." During the years under his protection, Shen Yixing understood this well. She never entertained any inappropriate thoughts, and even the slightest hint of them was nipped in the bud. [3] As an adult, Shen Yixing blossomed into a beauty, graceful and gentle. Her elders specially arranged a matchmaking banquet for her. That night, the hall was packed with the elite and blazed with lights. Song Qinglan skipped the awards ceremony and hurried through the rain to get there. Amid the clinking glasses, he saw several rich young men raising their drinks to Shen Yixing like peacocks displaying their feathers. Song Qinglan raised an eyebrow at the sight and went straight over to take the girl's glass. As the room stared in astonishment, he looked straight at Shen Yixing with his dark eyes, lowering his long lashes. "I've had your back for all these years. Have you never thought about giving me a chance?" Everyone gasped. He curved his lips lazily, his eyes fixed only on her, and said, word by word, "I mean, I'm better than all of them."
