The Boring White Moonlight

As an alpha, Jiang He had a plain, delicate face with no hint of aggression, and a conservative, old-fashioned personality. Neither her looks nor her personality stood out, and even her pheromones were as bland as plain water. An alpha like her wouldn’t be popular with omegas anywhere. But thanks to her family background, omegas still lined up to marry her, no matter how little sexual appeal she had. That all changed on the day of her eighteenth birthday. Her younger cousin, who had never gotten along with her, gave her a lavish present: a DNA test report. It turned out she wasn’t the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but the child of an ordinary family. Ashamed, Jiang He gave her identity back to the real young master of the Shen family, changed her surname back to Jiang, and returned to the lower district. Once she was no longer part of the Shen family, even her last bit of prestige disappeared. Jiang He became a thoroughly dull alpha with not an ounce of charm. After moving to the lower district, Jiang He suddenly began having frequent nightmares. In her dreams, she was the “white moonlight” in an ABO novel, a character whose sole purpose was to advance the romance between the protagonists. She knew all the main characters. The protagonist alpha was Shen Yao, the real young master she had been switched at birth with. The two omega protagonists were Ji Peichuan, the young master of the Ji family, and Li Yuenian, the widowed head of the Li family. It was a story about a real young master and two top-tier omegas caught in a love triangle, but it began with Jiang He, the “white moonlight.” Li Yuenian and Ji Peichuan had both been carefully chosen by the Shen family as marriage partners for Jiang He, but neither of them liked her. Yet in the story, she became the “white moonlight” they invented as a shield against the arranged marriage. Shen Yao already hated her for being an impostor who had taken his place. Mistaking Li Yuenian and Ji Peichuan’s feelings for her as deep and genuine, he set out to prove his own appeal by winning them over one by one. As he did, he found himself drawn to them as well. The melodramatic love triangle dragged on until the finale, when the author simply gave all three of them a happy ending together. And Jiang He, the “white moonlight”? Once the misunderstanding was cleared up later in the story, she no longer served any purpose, so the author killed her off. The dull “white moonlight” became the short-lived “white moonlight.” At first, Jiang He dismissed it all as an absurd dream, until she was diagnosed with gland cancer. That was how she had died in the story, too. How could she avoid that ending? Perhaps by becoming a true white moonlight. P.S. Male competition. There are three male leads in the synopsis. … Please check out my upcoming work in the same genre and add it to your collection. Love you! The Wife’s Revenge, by Bie Han Gu Yanchi and I had an arranged marriage, but it wasn’t without affection. At least, I loved him. I’d been in love with him since I was young, and I was determined to marry no one else. Even knowing he didn’t love me, I naively thought that if I just showed him enough sincerity, one day Gu Yanchi would see my good points and accept me. Then one day, I suddenly came down with a high fever that wouldn’t break. I was unconscious for three whole days, and had nightmares for all three of them. In my dream, the world I lived in turned out to be a novel, a danmei novel. The protagonist gong was my husband, and the protagonist shou was his college classmate, Shen Ji. And I was the thorn lodged between them, buried so deep it could never be pulled out. Because of me, Shen Ji severed ties with Gu Yanchi after graduation, left for another country, and went abroad to continue his studies. Gu Yanchi married me out of spite, and had no contact with him for years. Five years later, Shen Ji returned to the country. They reunited after all that time, their feelings stronger than ever. Like tinder meeting a flame, they fell into each other’s arms again. At first, I didn’t believe it. It was just an absurd, baseless dream. Until, not long afterward, I accidentally found a divorce agreement in Gu Yanchi’s study, drafted at some point in the past. Until Shen Ji really did return in the fifth year. I fell apart. In that moment, all my love turned into a vast, seething hatred. I wanted revenge. I wanted him to suffer and despair. I wanted to break his pride and make him crawl before me, humble as dust. But I knew it was impossible. Gu Yanchi was powerful and influential, and besides, he didn’t love me. All I could do was keep dragging things out with him. But was that really revenge against him, or tormenting myself? Just as I was about to give up and agree to a divorce, the world suddenly evolved, and people began differentiating into six sexes. I differentiated as an alpha. And Gu Yanchi became an omega, as did his white moonlight, Shen Ji. The tables had turned. Our roles were reversed. Now it seemed my revenge might actually be possible. Premise: Stay positive and love life.
