After Taking In My Fallen White Moonlight

New novel, My Ex-Boyfriend Grew a Tail, please add it to your reading list!

1

When Hu Kankan was working as a translator in Africa, she fell for her boss, Chen Zong.

She confessed her feelings, but Chen Zong rejected her on the spot, spouting the usual cliches: "Working overseas is complicated. You're still so young, and you have a long future ahead of you. This could never work out between us."

Hu Kankan was taken aback, too. I just want to date you. I never said I wanted to marry you.

She said, "Oh," shrugged, and told him to forget it.

Chen Zong went home and spent the whole night sleepless. The next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, he cursed himself in the mirror.

Who rejects a confession in the afternoon and regrets it before dawn!?

Isn't that right, ex-hubby?

Truthfully, Hu Kankan only ever saw Chen Zong as a casual fling.

When she quit and took off, she didn't even say goodbye.

Later, Chen Zong was caught in an armed attack in Africa.

At the brink of life and death, the person who appeared in his mind was the woman he hadn't seen in four years.

That's when he realized he couldn't let her go, that he hadn't moved on. He called it a brief affair, but kept booking and canceling flights, desperate to return home and lock her up with him so neither of them could run away.

After narrowly escaping death, he woke up diagnosed with delusional zoanthropy brought on by severe trauma. He was convinced he'd grown a tail.

Whatever. He still had a company to run, and the mining rights he'd just negotiated hadn't been transferred yet. He'd head back soon...

Smack!

His tail slapped him, unlocked his phone, expertly snooped through his social media, and found Hu Kankan's location. The next second, a flight ticket was booked.

Tail: Why pretend? You're a lost cause.

Hu Kankan thought her visual hallucinations had returned.

She saw her ex-boyfriend at a bar, and she also saw a huge, fluffy tail behind his waist.

The tail was rebellious by nature.

Chen Zong said, "I was just passing by," and it excitedly wrapped around Hu Kankan's wrist.

Chen Zong said, "Don't mind me," and it drooped into a miserable bundle, rubbing against Hu Kankan's belly.

With the tail clinging to her, Hu Kankan couldn't take it anymore and packed up to run away.

Chen Zong was abandoned once again. He panicked and chased after her like a ghost.

"You're avoiding me."

"That's twice now."

4.

Chen Zong discovered that when Hu Kankan touched him, he felt something.

Oh, he meant his tail.

Hu Kankan discovered that when she touched Chen Zong's tail, his back arched.

When asked, he only said he was itchy.

One night, Chen Zong stood outside her room with his collar loosened. Hu Kankan took off her bracelet and washed her hands three times.

Hu Kankan & Chen Zong: I have a bold idea. I want to test it.

Follow-your-heart, leave-in-style, high-IQ border collie lady

Stubborn and proud, can't move on, pure-hearted alpha-wolf boss

----Novel Blurb----

Back in high school, Lin Gongmei once pulled a moon from a muddy pond, wiped away the dirt, and helped him find his constellation again.

She thought she had mended the moonlight, but later the moon started skipping class, dropped out, and disappeared. It wasn't until her second year at work that she caught him again in a den of pleasure and debauchery.

The moon was as refined and gentle as ever, but the light around him was fragile and shattered. He spoke in a pale, quiet voice:

"Amei, you're my first customer."

Lin Gongmei smiled, but her gaze was like a sharp blade piercing through his chest.

"Good, Shen Jian."

"You won't have any other customers."

*

Back in high school, Shen Jian had once fervently longed for a fiery rose.

The rose had pulled him out of countless abysses of suffering, only to let go of his hand when the road ahead was smooth and level.

Many years later, Shen Jian concealed his base longing and desire, plotting a reunion.

He smashed the light around himself to pieces, then asked her to save him as if it were only natural.

Look, your moon is dirty again. Do you still want me?

*

After the rose brought the moon home, they moved in together without a hitch.

Shen Jian spent every day plotting against his love rivals, but after one kill after another, he still fell headfirst into a trap dug by a certain ex.

Lin Gongmei went to a hotel with a strange man. Shen Jian happened to see them, lost his composure, and was driven to offer himself to her:

"I can do everything those people out there can!"

Lin Gongmei laughed in anger. So in his eyes, she was that reckless and debauched.

"Those vixens out there are obedient. They can sit, and they can kneel. Can you do that?"

Shen Jian's eyes reddened, his expression defiant. "I can learn."

"Besides, I'm cleaner than they are."

"Is that so?"

Lin Gongmei smiled, but the smile never reached her eyes.

"Have you forgotten where I brought you home from?"

A rose with an imposing presence

X

A gentle moon, somewhat of a tea-green, shattered, and somewhat scheming

1. The heroine's name is Lin Gongmei. Gong is pronounced like "gong," and Mei like "may."

2. Strong heroine, female-dominant romance. The male and female leads have their roles switched.

3. At most, the high-school section is ambiguous flirting. After they reunite, the hero starts clearing out his love rivals and clinging to her.

4. The main story is set in the city, while the flashbacks are set in school.

5. A supporting couple appears: foxlike rich girl x wolf-like delinquent.

The pretty fox's confession:

"I admit that at first, I found it entertaining to watch him want to come closer but feel too timid, unable to stand my teasing but suffering at the thought of letting go."

"I reached out carelessly to tease him, testing his limits bit by bit. I laughed, got angry, and did as I pleased."

"But later, something seemed to change. I wanted him, but I didn't want to force him, so I could only indulge and put up with him at every turn. His foolish attempts to run away always made me furious. All the ways I used to 'bully' him came back to punish me instead."

Picking Up a Battle-Damaged Big Shot

-

Lin Xilian woke up one day and found herself transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic wasteland game that her company had only recently started developing.

Following the survival principle of staying alive first and making money second, Lin Xilian listed the NPCs she could rely on, then waited out a dark, rainy night until the strongest fighter in the wilderness showed up: Silver Wolf.

Unfortunately, the big shot had lost his memory, and he was the battle-damaged version.

Since no one else could save her, Lin Xilian picked through her useless skills and, relying on her perfect memory of the game's mechanics, became an unscrupulous wilderness gold-prospecting guide.

It turned out the world was just a shoddy operation.

Once healed, the big shot became Lin Xilian's giant attachment, going wherever she pointed and doing whatever she wanted with smooth efficiency. But one day, a colonel from the United Armed Forces quietly told her that the giant behind her was a mechanically modified combatant who had killed countless people.

Silver Wolf, battle-damaged version: I'm not! I've lost my memory! I'm just a poor little thing!

Lin Xilian defended him like a protective mother and cursed the colonel out. But the harsher she was to the colonel then, the more it stung her later.

After regaining his memories, Silver Wolf seemed like a different person, as if he really was the violent, ruthless traitor the colonel had described.

Lin Xilian demanded an explanation, but he fell silent for a moment before leaving with cruel resolve.

"That major was right. I'll bring you trouble and danger."

With the plot about to turn into a tragic romance between a taciturn man and a woman who couldn't get a word out of him, Lin Xilian frantically pulled at her hair.

So annoying! Why is it so hard to have a casual, looks-only romance in the apocalypse?

There are countless crushes out there. If one turns out to be a heartbreaker, just switch to another. Lin Xilian considered pursuing another promising prospect and started adding up the costs:

"Medical bills, repair bills, transportation, food, and lodging. The total comes to this much. Please pay up. I need the money to pursue my next partner. Thanks for your angel investment."

Silver Wolf: "...I've suddenly decided I'm not that dangerous after all."

Reading Guide:

1. A relatively traditional apocalypse story. There are no special powers. The hero is strong because he's been mechanically modified, and the heroine is even stronger because she's a mechanic who can repair him.

2. My own take on cyberpunk mixed with a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

3. Includes horror, suspense, and mystery elements.

4. Equal focus on plot and romance.

5. Set in a fictional world, so please don't draw parallels with real life.

Theme: Long separations turn reunions into sorrow.
