[I’m so sorry, little darlings. Because of some real-life circumstances, I couldn’t keep writing this novel to the end. After thinking it over, I’ve added an ending.]
Novel blurb:
Yue Xiu was aloof and noble, distant and cool toward others, and deeply admired. Yet even though many people had shown him their favor, he had never once returned it.
Until one day, Xu Zhige, the little girl from the neighboring household who had been his childhood friend, moved into the Yue residence. Her black hair fell to her shoulders, her skin was fair, and whenever her lashes fluttered, she looked especially delicate and endearing.
Without realizing it, Yue Xiu began paying her more attention, and gradually developed a special affection for her.
He had planned to take his time and draw the lovely girl into his arms, but things seemed to be going somewhat awry.
It seemed that someone had been hiding in the shadows all along, competing with him for Xu Zhige. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he could never discover who that person was.
*
Xu Zhige had a secret that only she knew: the Yue Xiu who seemed noble and indifferent in public had another side in private, one so domineering and obsessive that he was utterly unreasonable.
In public, Yue Xiu spoke to her with great distance and was not easy to approach. But the hidden “Yue Xiu” always loved pulling her close by the waist and whispering her given name into her ear.
Xu Zhige struggled to keep this secret hidden.
Until one day, “Yue Xiu” left a small red mark on her neck, and Yue Xiu happened to notice it.
The secret could no longer be kept, and it finally came out.
Yue Xiu immediately dropped his usual cool demeanor. His voice was unmistakably jealous: “Who did this?”
Xu Zhige: ...She glanced at Yue Xiu and said nothing.
After waiting a long time for her to answer, Yue Xiu's gaze had already turned cold. He was determined to find out who this lover of hers was.
Things began to take a strange turn. After investigating in secret, Yue Xiu discovered that the person seemed exactly like him: he liked wearing white, was the same height, and had the same habits...
Xu Zhige smiled faintly. “Finally figured out who it is?”
After a long silence, Yue Xiu asked, “You were treating me like a substitute?”

Upcoming novel 1: The Cold Chief Councillor's White Moonlight
Nian Zhi was once engaged to the third young master of the Shen household. They were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and countless people praised them as an ideal couple. But just as the wedding was about to take place, her fiancé fawned over another woman in front of everyone.
There was no way the marriage could go ahead. Nian Zhi decisively called off the engagement and prepared to pack her things and leave the Shen residence. But Shen Qingjing, the eldest brother of the third young master and the chief councillor of the capital, suddenly began showing her an interest in getting closer.
Filled with gratitude and guilt, Nian Zhi said, “Eldest Brother, you don't need to make it up to me on behalf of the third young master.”
“But what if I'm acting entirely out of selfish desire?” Shen Qingjing, who had always been as cold and aloof as gleaming snow on a mountain, smiled faintly.
At his words, Nian Zhi froze where she stood.
“The third young master was never worthy of you. Why should I force you to marry him?” Shen Qingjing stood tall and slender, dressed in white and trimmed with gold. He held out his distinctively jointed hand to her. “Why not consider marrying me instead?”

Upcoming novel 2: The Obsessive Chief Councillor Has His Heart Stolen
He Zhihuai was born into a distinguished family and was naturally aloof. He had never harbored special feelings for anyone.
That is, until a pampered distant cousin, Diwu Shu, came to live at his residence. She truly was as beautiful as an immortal, with bright eyes and lovely teeth, but she was not at all reserved.
Whenever she saw He Zhihuai, Diwu Shu would take the initiative to approach him and show her affection. Even after he rejected her, she would stammer and do her utmost to explain that she didn't mean anything by it.
But with her flushed cheeks and flowerlike smile, how could He Zhihuai fail to understand her feelings?
Still, their social positions were different, and they were not destined for a good match. So He Zhihuai remained as cool and distant as ever, telling her only to conduct herself with propriety.
As time passed, however, He Zhihuai gradually grew used to the special treatment he received from Diwu Shu.
He even began to waver, and started longing for her and thinking of her with affection.
Then one day, when He Zhihuai brought emerald feathers and a luminous pearl to discuss marriage with her, he discovered that Diwu Shu behaved exactly the same way toward his cousin as she did toward him. The same bright, charming smile, the same flowerlike expression.
It turned out that Diwu Shu was simply a face connoisseur. Whenever she saw a handsome face, she couldn't help but give in and be generous.
She truly did not like He Zhihuai.
He Zhihuai seemed to go mad and slashed his own face with his own hand.
Theme: Clear up misunderstandings and boldly pursue love.
This is the brain circuit of a normal person. If someone doesn't like you and they have their own feelings for you, and you still bother them, it's just a mental illness.
The heroine is actually not his biological child. She cannot be related to the emperor, right?
Mrs. Song might think that the heroine is a wealthy daughter, but in fact the heroine is the real daughter. Is the heroine a princess?
I'm just curious when the heroine's marriage will end.
Aunt Song's attempt to fetch water from a bamboo basket was in vain. She thought that Jiaqiu was the so-called sister. After she messed up, she would know that Zhige was the real noble person, hahaha
When can the heroine start a relationship with Second Young Master Song? I don't like people who are soft-hearted and immature in thinking!
Zhi Ge doesn't want to marry into this dirty place like the Song family.
Don't give that maid a chance to be an impostor.
It turned out to be the general's sister. Well, there must be no plot of mistaken sister. That aunt thought she was so stupid that she deserved it
The setting is very good, but it feels like the writing is broken.
