Novel Blurb

[Marriage First, Love Later / Long-Laid Plans / Healing]

Wei Qing had never considered marriage and did not believe in it, yet she married the man she had been promised to by their elders. Few people knew about it.

At the time, Ji Ruzhou was a director of a conglomerate and the inscrutable head of the Ji family, while Wei Qing was merely an ordinary designer burdened with debt.

That day, Ji Ruzhou stood with easy grace, looking at her intently. "Let's get married."

He said he could help her pay off her debt, spare her from marrying someone else, and solve all her problems...

"Mr. Ji, surely you aren't short of candidates for a wife?"

"But there aren't many who meet my requirements." He looked at her with a smile, his eyes utterly casual, as if they were simply chatting at leisure.

By "meet my requirements," he probably meant someone who posed no threat and could quietly be a pretty ornament or a pushover.

Wei Qing agreed, and the two became partners in an unspoken arrangement.

In Wei Qing's eyes, Ji Ruzhou was difficult to read. Being with a man like him meant she would probably always be at a disadvantage.

One day, she couldn't find the divorce agreement she'd prepared. It turned out Ji Ruzhou had it.

Right in front of her, he burned it.

As she met his eyes, those deep pools seemed ready to swallow her whole. "Between us, the only way out is for you to be widowed."

Ji Ruzhou had secretly married to honor the wishes of the older generation. To outsiders, the marriage was unlikely to last.

Who knew? Maybe one day Ji Ruzhou would quietly get a divorce.

Wei Qing was beautiful and lovely to look at, but Ji Ruzhou was always surrounded by beautiful women vying for his attention. No one had ever seen him truly sway or bend for anyone.

Everyone lamented that their marriage wouldn't last, and even Wei Qing had made up her mind and prepared herself for divorce.

Until one day, Ji Ruzhou held her tightly and refused to let go, bowing his head to bury his face against her shoulder. His voice carried a hint of helplessness. "A Qing, you can't get divorced once you're married. Try loving me, too..."

[He never stood above her. Instead, he stayed in the dust, protecting a king in his heart.]

A few notes:

1. One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only.

2. The pace won't be very fast at first. Things heat up later.

3. A little bit of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.

Easygoing, gentle band frontman vs. bright, optimistic photographer

[Secret Crush Comes True / Reunion After Years Apart]

1

Most of Wen Yiting's rare impulsive moments had something to do with Cheng Xinhuai.

She met Cheng Xinhuai and became his first fan;

She worked up the courage to confess, but never managed to deliver her letter;

Years later, they met again, slept together, and she became his girlfriend.

As a boyfriend, Cheng Xinhuai was faultless. Wen Yiting was delighted, yet sad: no one had ever made a home in those deep, affectionate eyes of his.

When you deceive yourself too blindly, love becomes an illusion.

She chose to give up.

2

Cheng Xinhuai, eldest son of the Cheng family of Beicheng, refused to follow the path his family had arranged for him. He cast aside his inheritance and devoted himself wholeheartedly to music instead.

As the frontman of the Prime Number band, he was gentle, modest, and immensely talented. The moment he appeared, he drew everyone's attention.

Later, Wen Yiting became his girlfriend. She thought things would stay just like that until they married, without a single bump in the road.

Until Wen Yiting broke up with him.

After the breakup, Cheng Xinhuai was lonely and desolate. By chance, he received a few unusual letters that recorded all the ways Wen Yiting had loved him.

3

The moment Wen Yiting began to feel that all the bitterness had meaning came on a night when the moonlight was hazy.

Cheng Xinhuai stood before her, wrapped in clear, bright moonlight. His eyes held a tender gleam, and his voice was sincere. "Wen Yiting, will you accept my love letter?"

Looking back on the years behind her, Wen Yiting suddenly felt that the moonlight had guided her a very long way. She had written her moonlight love letters stroke by stroke, and later, the moonlight came to her, too.

[Bonus Scene]

On a warm afternoon, Wen Yiting learned that she had somehow ended up on the trending list.

The topic "Prime Number frontman Cheng Xinhuai passionately kisses a mysterious woman" had reached the top of the trending list in no time.

[The frontman who never shows any romantic signs has this side to him? Things are getting hot!]

[Is the frontman's real wife someone in the entertainment industry?]

[Seems she's a photographer, and they knew each other back in high school...]

The rumors flew everywhere.

Wen Yiting cried out in alarm and wanted someone to get the topic taken down at once.

Back at their apartment, Cheng Xinhuai stopped her by taking hold of her phone and murmured against her ear, "You have to take responsibility for me."

"I was in chaos beneath the moonlight, while the quiet moon knew nothing. It only lit my way."

"Later, the moonlight shimmered."

1. One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only.

2. She gets her secret crush; he starts pretending, then makes it real.

3. An unconventional take on the entertainment industry.

4. No real-life inspiration. Please don't read anything into it.
