[News report: A male college student went missing while traveling in Baishan Village. Local police deployed in full force, but after 72 hours of searching, they still found no trace of him. His chances of survival are believed to be slim.]
Yin Yue had initially gone on a graduation trip to a village in the southwestern mountains.
That night, Yin Yue watched the lunar eclipse with his classmates.
As the sun and moon aligned, the full moon was devoured until it vanished. A dense fog rolled in, and every one of Yin Yue's classmates disappeared.
Anxiously searching for the group, Yin Yue suddenly spotted a tall young Miao man standing among the trees.
The faint moonlight that had emerged again fell across his shoulders. The totem on his collar glinted with an eerie silver light, while his hair, tied up high, disappeared into the darkness, leaving his face hidden.
"I think I'm lost. Do you know where Baishan Village is?" Yin Yue asked.
For an instant, the young man's expression betrayed a flicker of surprise, but he quickly concealed it and nodded.
The Miao youth Yue Nanshi led Yin Yue back to Baishan Village. Yin Yue didn't see his missing classmates, but the villagers welcomed him warmly.
After drinking a bowl of bitter soup the villagers gave him for his slight cold, Yin Yue suddenly found himself standing at the foot of a mountain, dressed in a scarlet robe.
Red candle flames lit the path from the foot of the mountain to its peak. An elderly woman with white hair said, "Go on, child."
As if in a trance, Yin Yue obeyed her and started up the mountain.
At the summit, Yin Yue saw Yue Nanshi.
Yue Nanshi was also dressed in red, his face adorned with beautiful painted designs. The silver totems on his collar and cuffs shone brighter than the moonlight.
"Give me your hand." A voice as ethereal as the moon rang out, and Yin Yue saw Yue Nanshi reaching out to him.
It wasn't until the next day, when Yin Yue woke up in a red bed bearing a huge "Double Happiness" character, that he finally realized: Had he just gotten married?!
After his shock wore off, he kicked the sleeping Yue Nanshi beside him. "Stop sleeping! We've been forced into an arranged marriage!"
Yue Nanshi lazily rolled over, his dark eyes fixed on him. "Would it be so bad to marry me?"
Being the village's live-in boyfriend was nice. He was respected by all the tribes, but...
"Weren't you just pretending to be my boyfriend? Why did you kiss me just now?"
Yue Nanshi smiled, looking relaxed. "I wanted you to consider being my boyfriend for real."
