The Rules of Moonlight Gardening

Free bonus chapters dropping at random (≧∇≦)ﾉ

On the eve of returning home from studying abroad, Lin Zhaoyue was scammed out of twenty million.

It wasn't that much money.

Especially not for someone from a wealthy family like her.

The problem was, just yesterday she'd posted her freshly minted law degree certificate on her social media feed o(╥﹏╥)o

There's only one word for it: tragic.

Before a day had passed, she had become a laughingstock among her social circle.

Some sensational gossip about her years abroad was also packed up and spread back home.

On the day she returned, her welcome-home banquet instantly turned into a trap. Lin Zhaoyue had her house taken away and her cards frozen, then was unceremoniously handed over to Pei Shuwen.

Pei Shuwen was the son of an old friend of Lin's mother. His family was every bit as wealthy as the Lin family, and he was a rising star partner at one of Ningcheng's most prestigious law firms. Even the interns he casually mentored were capable of working independently.

He had an excellent reputation both inside and outside their circle.

The Lin elders had found her such a teacher.

They were clearly determined to give her a good "lesson."

After drifting through life for so long, Lin Zhaoyue had no real ambitions and had never seen how cruel society could be. Pei Shuwen crooked a finger, and she fell into his trap without a second thought.

The rich heiress instantly became a clueless office newbie, and was coaxed into signing all sorts of unfair contracts.

By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

One day, unable to endure the exploitation any longer, Lin Zhaoyue stormed into the partner's office and slapped the desk angrily. "I quit!"

Pei Shuwen lowered his eyes, his lashes casting a shadow. He tapped the contract slowly and rhythmically, then named a figure with a faint, teasing smile. "You can quit. How are you planning to pay the penalty?"

...Great. She couldn't afford it :)

One more scam to add to her list.

**

At first, his friends laughed that his grandfather was playing a clever game by placing such a bright, lovely girl at his side, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity.

Pei Shuwen only smiled calmly, not taking it to heart. "I'm just placating an elder, and doing the Lin family a favor while I'm at it."

But as their relationship gradually crossed the line, that excuse became a joke.

On a stormy night,

rain swallowed the entire city.

The whole Jun Tian Liangmu building lost power and internet.

Lin Zhaoyue's plan to work overtime all night was cut short, and she packed up to head home.

When she turned around, she ran into Pei Shuwen, who was supposed to be on a business trip in a neighboring city.

"What are you doing here?"

She was astonished.

The usually polished man before her looked just as disheveled.

His hair was a mess, his clothes soaked through. Even his watch was dripping, along with his wrinkled jacket.

Pei Shuwen didn't give her a chance to speak.

The moment he saw her, he examined her carefully from head to toe.

Only after confirming she was unharmed did he lower his arms and reply flatly, "I was passing by."

Lin Zhaoyue later learned that for this "chance encounter," Pei Shuwen had postponed two meetings, turned down three partnerships, and raced through the rain for two hours, all to make sure she was safe.

"At first, she said she was the moon. Later, with every moment his heart stirred, he wished that the moonlight meant for her would shine on him alone."

"Reborn in the 1980s: The Fabric Tycoon" [Ni Mian loudly hawking her next novel: "My next story is coming soon! All the thrills and sweetness you could want! Don't miss out, and follow me so you won't lose your way!"]

Xia Xiaoqin has been reborn, back in 1986, before You Lang was hit by a car and left disabled, and before she married her lazy, greedy ex-husband.

In her previous life, the two had been a pair of miserable middle-aged souls who found comfort in each other. They had married halfway through life and weren't deeply in love, but they ran a fabric shop together. They weren't rich, but their life was peaceful and stable.

After packing her bags, she headed south without hesitation.

She'd heard that You Lang had teamed up with a friend to buy a pickup truck that year, planning to haul fabric around Guangzhou. If she got there in time, maybe they could make a fortune together.

The dream was wonderful, but reality... Xia Xiaoqin looked at the rusted-out wreck of a car that had stalled on level ground, then at the fierce-looking man with a buzz cut. Her face scrunched up in disbelief. "This is the luxury vehicle you said could haul half the fabric in Guangzhou in one trip?"

"A hundred yuan for the bride price, and a bicycle. Marry me if you want. If you don't, leave."

The man mistook her for the woman his family had arranged for him and thought she was being picky. Xia Xiaoqin blinked, decided to play along, and said, "I'll marry you. Right now."

--

Xia Xiaoqin's plan for finding You Lang was simple: build the business they'd had in her previous life into something bigger and better! Saving her future husband and registering their marriage would just be a bonus.

But the other person involved clearly saw things differently.

After confirming with his family back home again and again, You Lang learned that Xia Xiaoqin had come to Guangzhou to meet someone else.

He panicked.

One day, Xia Xiaoqin went to humor her ex-husband, who'd come looking to set up a meeting, and ended up negotiating a freight deal in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She didn't return for half a day.

The man, usually a thorn in everyone's side, crouched obediently at the entrance to the alley all day.

When she returned, his usually cool, tough-guy expression was flustered for once. "Don't even think about getting a divorce!"
