Both the Moonlight of My Youth and the Vermilion Mark on My Heart

Story blurb:

Xie Hanyu, head of the Xie family, is aloof and noble, the very picture of a heaven-blessed heir.

Jiang Hongyi, the young master of the Jiang family, has always loved teasing the nemesis who's been at odds with him since kindergarten.

The two have fought ever since they were children. To outsiders, it looks like the young master Jiang is simply making trouble for no reason,

but only Jiang Hongyi knows that every time he pulls a prank on Young Master Xie, all kinds of "accidents" follow in quick succession.

As it happens, the one thing people admire about the young master Jiang is his stubborn persistence.

So the young master Jiang, growing more determined with every setback, went straight to work at the Xie family business after graduating, ignoring his father's furious protests.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. That's what the young master Jiang thought after successfully becoming someone's personal secretary.

But recently... Why have the immortals in the heavens fallen in love with the mortal world? First a white moonlight, then a cinnabar mole, they've both shown up out of nowhere.

As a worthy rival, the young master Jiang thinks he should condescend to help his nemesis sort out his love life.

After all, what kind of real man gets hung up on romance?

What?! You like me?

Ahem... What a coincidence. I like you too.

Xie Hanyu was born cold-hearted, just like that faithless father people are always talking about.

"The head of the Xie family doesn't need feelings." Little Xie Hanyu grew up hearing that.

Maybe this was just how his whole life would be, he thought.

But then a blazing fireball crashed into him, and never left.

You are both my white moonlight and my cinnabar mole.

And I love you.

A childish, prideful bottom who'd rather suffer than admit he's wrong

vs.

A gorgeous, seemingly aloof but actually gentle top

Note: Top's POV, mutual adoration, balanced focus on both leads, bittersweet and sweet.

Core Message: Say "I love you" out loud. It helps you communicate with your partner and avoid misunderstandings.
