Synopsis

[Shen is the top and Gu is the bottom. The cover features long hair and short hair. See the illustration event for the gorgeous couple art.]

Shen Yu, the only son of China's richest family, had a first love back in school. It ended in spectacular heartbreak.

Back then, he hadn't been reunited with the Shen family and was just a poor student. His first love, Gu Mingyan, berated him for having no money, no power, and no love, then dumped him after graduation and married a rich young heir.

Later, Shen Yu was reunited with the Shen family and became one of the richest young heirs around.

Three years after their breakup, Shen Yu returned from overseas. Surrounded by admirers and treated like a star, he was enjoying the sea breeze on the top deck of a cruise ship when he suddenly spotted Gu Mingyan.

Gu Mingyan had just lost his husband and was dressed in black from head to toe. His face was still as captivating as Shen Yu remembered. He stood by the railing, looking down at the black-and-white memorial photo tucked into his wallet, as if mourning the dead man.

The restlessness he'd been suppressing for three years burst out at once. Shen Yu rose and walked through the crowd toward Gu Mingyan.

Now he had money and power, and plenty of people loved him. With the sea breeze lifting his crisp trench coat, Shen Yu leaned against the railing, a cigarette between his fingers, looking carefree and composed. He glanced at the memorial photo with a faintly mocking smile and said in a languid voice:

"My condolences."

Gu Mingyan never expected the now-wealthiest Young Master Shen to come looking for him.

He'd just been widowed, and his first love had become rich and successful. The situation was terribly awkward.

Determined not to lose face, Gu Mingyan arranged his expression, looked up at Shen Yu with a cool gaze, and asked politely:

"Who are you?"

That distant, courteous look almost made Shen Yu drop his cigarette.

Fine. They hadn't seen each other in three years, and this guy had completely forgotten him.

The bottom who knows how to flirt even better than he knows how to make money, and always becomes the beloved white moonlight: Gu Mingyan

The rich and powerful top, a secretly flirtatious actor who loves putting on a cool, elegant front: Shen Yu

PS: At every point in their lives, the top and bottom have eyes only for each other.

Next book: Caught You [Infinite]: A detective bottom who acts cute and fools people while bringing the real culprit to justice, and a ruthless, unhinged villainous boss top who loves tormenting bad people. If you're interested, check out my author profile~
