Stealing a Kiss from the Moon [Showbiz]

Upcoming novel Little White Shoes, please add it to your reading list. Blurb at the end.

[Forthright, sweet celebrity x gentle, scheming psychologist]

A secret crush is like a wind blowing in from the wilderness. You don't know where it began, but it makes wild grass grow and keeps on growing year after year, without end.

Pei Qi had a crescent moon hidden in her heart, peeking through the clouds.

She thought she was the only one who had fallen in love, and that she could do no more than hold the moonlight for a moment. But she never expected...

The person she was chasing would follow in her footsteps, filling pages of a notebook with her likes and dislikes, and planting flowers throughout the courtyard for her, one season after another...

"You have always been my one and only choice."

The rose takes advantage of the night,

Draws close to the moon,

And steals a kiss from the moonlight.

Notes:

1. The characters are not based on real people.

2. Set in the entertainment industry. A secret crush becomes mutual.

Blurb for Little White Shoes:

Jiang Yu Bai has a special ability: she can tell how good or bad people are by looking at their shoes.

No matter what shoes you wear in real life, to her they all look like little white shoes.

Everyone's little white shoes look exactly the same. The only difference is their color. The whiter they are, the kinder their owner is. The opposite end of the spectrum is blood red, stained by the deaths on their hands.

Su Ting Zhi had the cleanest shoes Jiang Yu Bai had ever seen, so she had always firmly believed he was the kindest person she knew.

Until one day, a murder took place in the neighborhood where Jiang Yu Bai lived. She discovered that Su Ting Zhi's shoes had turned blood red...

Years later, Lu Cen reunited with Lu Xi Wei at her stepfather's funeral. She had long since shed her sharp edges and temper, becoming as gentle and clear as a pool of autumn water.

Through the drifting incense, he saw a dark red rose at her temple. His heart clenched, and he fought back his excitement as he called her, "Sis."

She didn't even lift her eyelids. Kneeling beside him, she parted her cherry-red lips and contemptuously spat out, "Get lost!"

His face flushed, his eyes turning moist. She hadn't changed at all. This was the Lu Xi Wei from his memories, the one who had teased and bullied him and whom he had hated for ten years.

**

Lu Cen was fourteen when Lu Xi Wei disappeared.

In the neighbors' eyes, she was Cinderella, living under the abuse of a violent biological father, a vicious stepmother, and a cold younger brother.

But Lu Cen knew better than anyone that she had never been a little white flower. She was a demon.

The problem was, he was still captivated by the scent and warmth of that demon. Back then and now, his feelings had never changed!
