Looking Up at the Moon on a Rainy Day [Showbiz]

70% of the manuscript is complete, so feel free to start reading.

On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Ming Li did something incredibly bold: she confessed her feelings.

The good news: her confession was accepted.

The bad news: she was confessing on someone else’s behalf.

Heart-shaped candles, roses bright as flames, a lovely moonlit night, and Qin Muchen.

There was also a whole crowd of people cheering them on.

Ming Li’s face turned bright red, and even the moon couldn’t bear to watch, hiding behind the clouds.

Ming Li took a deep breath, about to say that it was fine if he turned her down, when the person standing opposite her suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Give me the flowers."

Ming Li foolishly handed him the roses. He took the lead instead: "I like you. Will you be with me, Ming Li?"

Amid the crowd’s cheers, Ming Li took the roses back. She turned to leave, but he caught her by the hem of her clothes. He seemed to know her well. "Ming Li, do you know what our relationship is now? If you don’t, let me make it clear. I’m your boyfriend now."

A few months later, Ming Li ended this borrowed relationship herself.

1. On the eve of her return to China, rumors broke that Ming Li, the heiress of a major film and television platform, was making her debut. She hadn’t even started auditioning, but supposed scandals were already flying everywhere.

Before Ming Li could respond, the posts had vanished without a trace by the next day.

At her first meal after returning to China, she saw Qin Muchen, the newly crowned Best Actor who was the talk of the town, seated across from her.

The director sensed that there was something between them and asked about it.

Ming Li feigned indifference. "We went to the same school."

The actor’s lips curved slightly, but the smile never reached his eyes. "Right. We went to the same school."

After dinner, Ming Li was cornered in the elevator. Qin Muchen looked down at her. "A schoolmate you’ve kissed and almost slept with?"

2. Someone knocked on Ming Li’s door before she went to bed. When she opened it, she found the person who had handed out flyers earlier.

The visitor stared at Ming Li for a moment, then swapped the flyer in their hand for another one. "Do you like male models? Completely legit."

The next second, Ming Li and the flyer distributor were both summoned to the police station.

Once everything was cleared up, it turned out the flyer really was legitimate.

By the time they finished giving their statements, it was late at night. Ming Li was being led along by a certain scowling actor.

The flyer distributor still wouldn’t give up. "We offer massages and companionship. All kinds of men."

"No need." The actor turned them down for Ming Li. "She has me."

The flyer distributor: "You? What can you do?"

"I can provide any service." Qin Muchen looked at Ming Li. "If she wants to sleep with me, I can do that too."

The flyer distributor: "?"

3. For a special mission, Ming Li was told she needed a partner. The actor volunteered.

Without thinking, Ming Li called out, "Big brother."

Qin Muchen lightly brushed the corner of her lips. "Our parents have already agreed to us being together."

Ming Li: "? Who told you to rewrite the script?"

Ming Li’s love means running away, giving up. She hides it on the dark side of the moon, then hides it again on rainy days.

Qin Muchen’s love means that when Ming Li takes a step back, he blocks her retreat and places the moon before her eyes.

No one knows that the girl who once kept silent, like a shadow, was the most vivid stroke of color in Qin Muchen’s long youth.

If you’re afraid to accept the sun’s scorching warmth, then please wait a little longer, just a little longer. Wait until night, and become the moon’s conjugate. - Ji Xiaoshi, the big star Ming Li’s best roommate and best friend, a romantic science girl, and a devoted shipper

Bright Rose & Scheming Actor

Childhood sweethearts, with a love-struck male lead.

He’s absolutely smitten!

Ming Li thought Qin Muchen never turned anyone down. In truth, he only never turned her down.

Others thought Qin Muchen never took the initiative with anyone. In truth, he only took the initiative with Ming Li.
