Watching the Moon Through Her Window

[The main story is complete, with bonus chapters still updating. Please add my next novel, Spring's End, to your bookshelf. The blurb is below.]

Cultural relic restorer Xia Ju spent seven years by Chen Haisheng's side, accompanying him from having nothing to having everything.

People often asked her what her dream was.

Probably to see Chen Haisheng achieve his.

Then he was going to get married.

But she wasn't the bride. In his words, she was a woman who was "good for nothing but suffering."

So on the day of his wedding, she sold all her shares and set off alone for Tibet.

**

On the way to Tibet, she came across a young man who was being targeted and helped him out of a tight spot.

He was cold as ice and didn't even thank her.

Thinking he was a homeless college student, she was considerate of him at every turn and earnestly warned him how cruel people could be.

She had no idea that every other person in that train carriage was one of his bodyguards.

At the time, his closest family had died, and his clan had turned against him. He used an iron fist to seize absolute power, driving everyone away until he was utterly alone, with everyone wanting him dead.

Only she thought he had no one and nowhere to go, and kept wanting to offer him a roof over his head.

"Then, A-Xia, why don't you take me?" He gazed into her eyes, half serious and half in jest. His cold, handsome face showed a rare trace of tenderness.

She never expected that after their all-consuming tenderness, he would be left behind in Lhasa at dawn, unable to see the road ahead.

**

Few people in Shenzhen had ever heard of Wen Shuyao, but everyone knew the Wen family had a ruthless Ninth Master.

Three months after Xia Ju disappeared, Chen Haisheng searched Shenzhen for her like a madman. At last, he heard news of her through industry connections and rushed to her building in the pouring rain.

But someone was already waiting in the old stairwell.

Under the dim lights, the handsome, cold man turned the lighter in his hand and looked him over with a deep gaze. "What a coincidence. You're looking for her too?"

At that moment, Chen Haisheng realized he had truly lost Xia Ju.

"A top-tier big shot who plays the pig to eat the tiger + X + a beautiful, kind-hearted cultural relic restorer"

On Chi Lie's first day transferring from the SWAT team to a local police station, a passerby's video went viral, making him an overnight sensation thanks to his breathtaking looks.

It sparked a nationwide wave of people calling him their husband.

But he refused interviews and never livestreamed. In person, his sharp, icy eyes made everyone who tried to approach him too afraid to speak.

At the same time, some netizens dug up his personal account.

Even before he became famous, someone had already been boldly leaving comments:

"Husband, look at me."

"Husband, I miss you so much on rainy days. Look at me."

"Husband, the start of autumn is here. Dress warmly, so I can look at you."

Everyone speculated about who this brave soul could be.

But from the day he went viral, the account never appeared again.

As a low-energy, socially anxious veteran office worker, Yu Li recharged every day by looking at handsome men online.

Among all the ordinary guys, one college student at a sports institute stood out for his looks. He seemed so energetic that just looking at him could make your blood run hot.

Thinking, "Even if I'm a little bold, he'll never know who I am," she secretly watched him online for six months, occasionally leaving a comment.

Until he went viral across the internet.

He wasn't a college athlete. He was a bona fide SWAT officer.

One hundred and eighty-six centimeters tall, with an eight-pack, and capable of subduing a two-hundred-jin assailant with his bare hands.

While everyone wondered if she was his actual girlfriend, Yu Li quietly opened a search engine: Is it illegal to flirt with a police officer without knowing who he is?

#The kid didn't cry. He just died a little inside.#

--

After more than six anxious months with nothing happening, Yu Li gradually forgot about it, until work took her to the police station.

In the vast office, the only person there was a handsome man in casual clothes, with long legs and a tall frame, staring straight at her. Even sitting still, he radiated an overwhelming pressure.

Yu Li braced herself and tried to talk to him.

To her surprise, after watching her coldly for nearly ten minutes, he suddenly let out a mocking laugh. "Why aren't you calling me 'husband' today?"

Yu Li: "Huh? Huh?!"

#What do you do when you run into the real person after talking big online? Asking for a friend. It's urgent.#

#How did a socially anxious introvert like me get into this much trouble?#

Later, the vanished account showed up in the comments again: "Ladies, when you meet a handsome guy you like, just keep calling him 'husband' until he thinks he really is your husband. Tested and proven. I just got back from seeing him today."

The ladies in the comments: ?

What did you get back from seeing? Do tell.

Low-energy, shy introvert x high-energy, stone-faced SWAT officer
