The Sickly White Moonlight Has Them Hooked

Please add “The Soft and Gentle Beauty Reborn Decides to Be a Brat” to your reading list *=w=*

Yu Mingyan always thought his dad had terrible taste in friends. He liked making friends with people much younger than himself, and every one of those friends wanted to get their hands on his dad's company.

Lu Xingzhi was the seventh of his dad's much younger friends that Yu Mingyan had met.

He fell in love with Lu Xingzhi at first sight.

Three months into his secret crush on Lu Xingzhi, Yu Mingyan had a nightmare. In it, Lu Xingzhi was a scheming wolf who plotted to seize his family's fortune, and succeeded.

Yu Mingyan: ...This has to be dealt with.

He went online to ask for advice.

[What should I do if the person I have a crush on is a bad guy who wants to take over my family's company, but I'm not sure if he's really like that?]

Kind netizen: [Easy! Seduce him! Reel him in! Make him fall for you until he's crazy about you! Have him pin you down, turn red-eyed, and give you his life! Then he'll definitely stop going after your family's company.]

Yu Mingyan saw the light and immediately searched “how to reel someone in,” “how to cultivate a fishing type,” and “how to turn someone into a simp”...

He thought he had a real talent for it. Watching Lu Xingzhi go from unmoved, to restrained and fighting his feelings, to completely unable to resist him, Yu Mingyan was very pleased.

Until one night after they agreed to date, he suddenly discovered that he was a character in a story. He was Lu Xingzhi's unattainable ideal, they had a mutual crush, and Lu Xingzhi had no interest in his family's company.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to reel Lu Xingzhi in, they would have secretly loved each other for another three years before getting together.

Yu Mingyan: ...

Yu Mingyan tried to flee the universe in the middle of the night, but Lu Xingzhi caught him before he even made it out of the house. Lu Xingzhi was holding the diary Yu Mingyan had dropped on the floor in shock.

With a teasing smile in his peach-blossom eyes, Lu Xingzhi drew out the words as he read Yu Mingyan's incriminating notes: “How to deal with Lu Xingzhi, the scheming wolf who wants to take over my family? Seduce him, reel him in, make him fall...”

“I know I was wrong.”

Lu Xingzhi chuckled. “No, you weren't. I really am a scheming wolf. Keep reeling me in?”

“N-no, I'm done.”

Lu Xingzhi gently squeezed his waist, deliberately lowering his voice to a husky murmur. “Reel me in one more time, and I'll give you my life?”

Yu Mingyan covered his face in mortification. “...”
