Give Me the Moon in This World

The husband wins his wife back | Two wealthy families | Both leads fight their feelings

Xie Shuyin returned to China to study under an assumed name. A proper heiress, she had fallen so far that she couldn't even afford her living expenses. With no other choice, she had to ask her brother's friend for help.

Zhou Shaochuan was a well-known heir to a major group and one of the biggest names in the investment world. Handsome, polished, and roguish, he was generous with his money. The first time he saw Xie Shuyin, he was captivated by her impossibly beautiful, innocent-yet-sensual face. As he looked over her fair skin and long, straight legs, he said, "Is this how you ask people for money? Even your brother has to call me Third Uncle. What do you think you should call me?"

Xie Shuyin looked at Zhou Shaochuan's face, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Third Uncle, I need money."

When Xie Shuyin moved into Zhou Shaochuan's villa, she drew a clear line between them: no interference in each other's lives.

Zhou Shaochuan only smiled. "A locked door can keep out a gentleman, but not a scoundrel."

Later, who knew which of them became the scoundrel, but day after day and night after night, one would lie at the other's door. "Whether it's my child or not, why don't I check for myself?"

A little scene: In the dark of night, Xie Shuyin sat on the edge of the bed in a snowy-white silk nightdress, reading a book. Zhou Shaochuan pushed open the door.

Their eyes met. Neither said a word.

After a long while, he finally spoke. "I heard you went on a date today. Who was it with?"

He'd come back from outside in the middle of the night. Instead of going to bed or taking a shower, he'd hurried straight to her to ask about her business.

Xie Shuyin set down her book and replied calmly, "Who I go out with is none of your business, right? You have your Miss Qiao, and I have my Mr. Qin."

Zhou Shaochuan swayed. His clear, dark eyes turned cold, like a deadly rope that could easily choke her in his grasp. He moved his lips. "Not him."

Reader's Guide: 1. Age gap: female lead is 20, male lead is 32.

2. The male lead is friends with Qiao from the neighboring Xie family. He is not related to the female lead by blood. For more details, see Lying in Wait; this novel will also explain everything. The male lead also has a first love, so the female lead goes through some angst early on, before he goes all out to win her back.

3. The male lead pretends to be a playboy.

Theme: Bravely pursue an optimistic, uplifting love
