While Sheng Shi was still in school, he had already achieved the kind of glory most people couldn't reach in a lifetime. He became famous at a young age, taking the whole country by storm at eighteen and earning a legendary reputation at Jiang University Film and Television Academy.

For all four years Sheng Shi was enrolled, one post stayed pinned to the Jiang University forum: Four years of college. Which girl can pull a god off his pedestal?

Unfortunately, the god was aloof and chaste, and never got close to any girl.

Years later, Sheng Shi took part in a lifestyle variety show, alongside guests from all walks of life.

On the show...

At mealtimes, Sheng Shi would instinctively pick out the cilantro. But his fans all knew he could eat cilantro just fine.

Late on the night of January 27, Sheng Shi sent a "Happy birthday" message to a WeChat account that had blocked him.

When the guests gathered to play "What I Have That You Don't," one male guest put his arm around his girlfriend and shamelessly flaunted their relationship: "I've loved someone for seven years, and my feelings have never changed."

A love that lasted so long was truly rare in the entertainment industry.

Everyone present reluctantly folded down a finger.

But to their surprise...

Sheng Shi turned his head slightly, his features refined and elegant. Not one of his raised fingers had gone down. His gaze fell on Chen Qi'an, and he spoke slowly and softly: "I, too... have loved someone for seven years, and my feelings have never changed."

That day, the whole world was talking about who had quietly pulled the god down from his pedestal.

A new novel by my friend: Ye Weiran's The Moon Winks, about a young master with a puppy's temper who gets tamed by me.

Someone like Lu Jitong seems born to stand out from the crowd.

With his refined looks and gentle, courteous manner, he is like a pine standing tall on a mountaintop, cool and resolute, yet possessing a noble bearing.

He has turned down every girl's advances and seems to care about nothing but his studies.

Throughout her youth, Lin Jianqi filled her scratch paper with Lu Jitong's name.

She confessed three times and was rejected three times.

Lu Jitong tapped her on the head and drawled lazily,

"What are you thinking? Focus on your studies."

"If we get into the same university, we'll be together."

So Lin Jianqi, who ranked near the bottom of her class, began to work herself to the bone. After two years of studying day and night, she finally got into Huai University.

The moment Lin Jianqi received her admission letter, she rushed to Lu Jitong's house, smiling brightly and freely, like a rose blooming on the street.

"Lu Jitong, you were right. Studying really is more important!"

Studying was way more fun than dating! She was going to keep working hard and aim for the top of her major!

Lu Jitong raised an eyebrow, patiently waiting for her to say the rest: that they would be together.

But he waited and waited.

He waited until Lin Jianqi was solving problems with the math department's campus heartthrob.

He waited until Lin Jianqi ran into the student council president at the library.

Even a man as humble and courteous as Lu Jitong was furious enough to drag Lin Jianqi out of the library.

"Lin Jianqi, you can't go back on your word."

"We agreed that if we got into the same university, we'd be together."

[Blurb for Peeking at Love and Moonlight]

On the first day Chen Yuwei returned to Nancheng, she fell in love at first sight.

The bar was loud with music, the crowd swayed, and everyone was having a great time.

The man sat alone in a booth, his posture straight and his looks striking. His shirt was buttoned all the way to the top, and with a clear gaze, he turned down every woman who tried to pick him up.

Chen Yuwei had always liked this sort of well-behaved, proper man best.

She walked gracefully up to him and raised her glass. "Hey, handsome. Want to exchange contact info?"

Zhou Xubai didn't even look up. He replied unhurriedly, "Miss Chen, aren't we already WeChat friends? Besides... didn't you once say that a proper ex should be as good as dead?"

Chen Yuwei looked confused. Her ex? Which ex was he talking about?

That night, Chen Yuwei searched through six phones until dawn, but couldn't find the man anywhere.

*

What Chen Yuwei didn't know was this:

On the very day she returned, Zhou Xubai had moved in next door to her.

The man shed his daytime civility and indifference, tore off his tie in a fury, and stood by the window all night, greedily peeking at love and moonlight.
