The White Moonlight Lost His Memory and Became a Top-Tier Star

[The author's first novel has a lot of flaws. It was finished long before it was published, and I was still inexperienced when I wrote it. Please read with caution.]

[The unserious blurb]

Ting Yang, a top-tier star in the domestic entertainment industry, has a stunning face and acting talent bestowed by the heavens. Cheerful and optimistic, he's known as a little ray of sunshine.

Other than his jinxing mouth, which always predicts the opposite of what he means, his career in entertainment has been smooth sailing.

Someone questioned his education.

His fans spent all night digging up his graduation certificate from the Law School of Renmin University of China.

Someone questioned his aloof high school personality and poor social skills.

His former classmates and even the owner of Huang, the yellow dog from the alley behind the school, all came forward to defend him.

A crooked producer spread rumors that Ting Yang had an improper relationship with him in exchange for career opportunities.

A top tycoon in business circles and a celebrated screenwriter in the entertainment industry immediately posted a message and tagged him.

[@Qi Zhixu: He wouldn't even look twice at me. Who do you think you are?]

His tone was arrogant, but nobody dared to talk back.

[The serious blurb]

On the day Ting Yang and Qi Zhixu first met, Qi Zhixu smiled and gave him a bouquet of gardenias.

The young man was gentle and warm, as if kindness were carved into his very bones.

The next time Ting Yang saw him was at auditions for Qi Zhixu's directorial debut, "Shattering the Day."

Qi Zhixu sat in the director's chair, his expression cool and indifferent as he showed no warmth to any of the auditioning actors.

But as soon as Ting Yang walked in, Qi Zhixu couldn't help smiling, and his gaze never left him for a moment.

Later, they acted together, appeared on variety shows together, and became close friends.

Yet Ting Yang still didn't know that the day at the flower shop hadn't actually been their first meeting.

"Shattering the Day" premiered and became a massive box office hit.

Ting Yang played a treacherous minister who cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle and save a world in chaos. His superb acting made him the idealized love of many viewers.

As internet users wept over his character in the comments, a photo quietly began circulating online.

In it, a youthful-looking Ting Yang smiled brightly, while Qi Zhixu, dressed in a school uniform, stood beside him, his gaze filled with possessiveness.

Ting Yang had also been Qi Zhixu's secret idealized love for many years.

The evening Qi Zhixu transferred to the school, fiery clouds swept across the sky. A boy in a school uniform stood amid the sun's scattered rays.

The moment he saw the boy, the usually proud and unruly Qi Zhixu could only stammer out a question: what was his name?

Ting Yang.

Qi Zhixu silently repeated the name over and over.

Graceful as an orchid, lofty as a mountain.

The name seemed destined to belong to someone dazzling.

...And it seemed Qi Zhixu would have to spend his whole life climbing a mountain before he could stand beside him.

A seemingly aloof and abstinent but actually protective, lovesick top x a seemingly sunny and optimistic but actually emotionally detached bottom

Qi Zhixu x Ting Yang

Screenwriter x top-tier star

Reading guide:

1. Mutual firsts, doting top and happy ending. They reunite at the beginning.

2. The bottom is somewhat of a heartthrob, with a male supporting character who has unrequited feelings for him. No side couples.

3. The author's writing is shaky. There is angst in the middle, and it's very, very painful. I wrote it years ago and couldn't get enough of the angst. Looking back years later, I wanted to make myself forget it all. I edited it as best I could, driven by my maternal love for my precious boy.

4. The top won't hurt the bottom. He's just been lovesick over him for eight years.

5. The story has been revised. For details, see my Weibo account @Jinjiang Ming You Mie.

"The Heartthrob Cultivates the Unfeeling Path"

After Tiancheng Sect's disciple selection ended, Venerable Xiao Hui, who had never taken on a disciple before, made an exception and accepted a mortal youth.

The sect's disciples had only two impressions of this boy who was always smiling.

First, his pale red lips, peach blossom eyes, and constant faint smile made him look like a heartless flirt.

Second, he had brought the memorial tablet of his deceased childhood sweetheart, his husband, in his luggage on the day of the disciple selection. He was clearly a deeply devoted person.

He was a very well-behaved and likable junior brother.

Too bad he'd become a widower so young.

*

Qi Sang stood out at the disciple selection that year and became a student of Venerable Xiao Hui.

Xie Tingyu, Venerable Xiao Hui, had the bearing of a sword immortal and was halfway to sainthood. He was the goal countless people pursued their whole lives.

Qi Sang was clever, obedient, and extraordinarily diligent. Everyone in the sect couldn't help looking after him.

His taciturn senior brother carefully guided him in swordsmanship, using the same hand that wielded his sword to pick flowers for him.

The young master of Wanbao Pavilion was peerless in both swordsmanship and poison. He spent lavishly and sneered at disciples who threw their weight around, saying, "I'll stand up for him."

Qi Sang had no idea about the desires growing in their hearts. Every day, he unfailingly did the same three things:

Eat, practice the sword, and wipe his deceased husband's memorial tablet.

Until

Some unknown person left a copy of "The Little Widow Marries Again."

Some unknown person draped a cloth over his deceased husband's memorial tablet.

Qi Sang lifted the cloth covering the memorial tablet.

"...?"

*

After Qi Sang learned the basics of swordsmanship, Xie Tingyu asked him what path he wanted to cultivate.

Everyone guessed he'd choose the Path of the Common People.

The Great Path was compassionate, and best suited to someone as softhearted as him.

But Qi Sang shook his head, resolute.

"Master, I want to cultivate the Unfeeling Path."

Xie Tingyu's hand clenched involuntarily, and his cool brows drew together slightly.

"The Unfeeling Path demands that you sever all affection and love. It isn't right for you."

Qi Sang tilted his head, his fair face showing just the right amount of innocence and confusion.

"How do you know it isn't right for me if I've never tried?"

Xie Tingyu was silent for a moment, then stopped trying to persuade him.

Because he had realized that he was trying to change Qi Sang's mind to satisfy the shameful desires hidden in his own heart.

The Venerable Xiao Hui whom people called dispassionate and desireless was, in truth, just a mortal with the full range of human emotions and desires.

A seemingly aloof but actually jealous top x a seemingly compassionate but actually heartless bottom

Heaven's favored genius x Heaven's darling

Reading guide:

1. Doting top, one-on-one emotionally and physically, no side couples, happy ending.

2. The bottom is a heartthrob, with male supporting characters who have unrequited feelings for him.

3. The top doesn't cultivate the Unfeeling Path. He's the first to fall in love.

Theme: You can't change the past, but you can still pursue what lies ahead.
