The Moon Heads South

The graceful and beautiful Gu Nianru has a pure, jade-like face, yet carries an effortless, wild allure. Though these qualities ought to clash, she is breathtakingly beautiful. She is beautiful inside and out. The languid beauty seems warm and serene, but in truth she is aloof and difficult to approach.

Jin Tunan, the young master of Shangjing, is a hellish fiend whom nobody dares provoke. His methods are ruthless, and he holds a grudge over the slightest thing. They say that if Master Jin wants you gone by the third watch, no one can keep you until the fifth. Yet he is also resolute and refined, blessed with a face chosen by heaven.

Though their personalities are worlds apart, the two are irresistibly drawn together.

The first time:

At the bar entrance, Jin Tunan sees a man so handsome that all life seems to lose its color, and Gu Nianru silently curses him as a "male fox spirit."

The second time:

+ A soft voice drifts from behind a screen: "With the sky on his back, and nothing to obstruct him, only then can he set out for the south. The person who named him probably never imagined he would become a businessman." With a few words, she reveals the sentiment behind the origin of his name.

Only when Jin Tunan has fallen deeply in love does he realize that the flutter he felt in that first instant was love at first sight.

The third time:

In the lounge at a party, a woman leans alone against a chaise longue. The lights make her skin seem whiter than snow; her bright eyes are closed, and the high-slit, fitted evening gown reveals her graceful figure. She is incomparably beautiful. Jin Tunan's heart pounds like a drum. For the first time, desire takes hold of him, and he wants to keep her all to himself...

Later, Gu Nianru coaxes her husband and confesses her love to the whole city: "Mr. Jin, whether I live or die, whether I am poor or wealthy, you will always be my one and only choice, the only one who makes my heart race."

There are so many people in this world, so much love. We had a one-in-twenty-thousand chance of meeting, and all I want is you.

A brooding, gentle, powerful businessman who left military service for commerce & a rational, refined, and brilliant medical researcher
