Marrying My Straight Best Friend and Making Believe

Coming next:

The Scumbag Actress Is Her Dark Moonlight

I'm working hard to build up a backlog. The blurb is at the bottom.

This novel will be complete, with the final chapters behind a paywall, starting March 21.

Thank you to all the lovely readers who followed along.

See you in the next book.

Designated heir: Cheng Xi

Condition: Get married

Staring at the will in her hands, Cheng Xi felt her vision go dark.

As a bona fide rich heiress, Cheng Xi had no shortage of marriage prospects.

The problem was, she was a 24-karat gold lesbian.

"It only says I have to get married, right? Then let's get married."

Cheng Xi looked at her best friend.

"Oh, right. I guess it doesn't say the person I marry has to be a particular gender?"

So the two of them carried out the plan step by step:

Fake marriage, take control of the conglomerate, get divorced, go back to being friends.

That was the original plan, until...

Someone started losing control of her heart.

Her former dark moonlight, chasing his wife to the crematorium.

After one of them transferred schools, two people who had never crossed paths locked eyes on a rooftop.

One was an ant at the foot of the pyramid, the other the school beauty at its peak.

Or, more accurately:

The ant fell for the school beauty. Lei Siwen fell for Qu Yun.

In public, Qu Yun was mercilessly cutting:

"You hideous freak who looks like you could scare the dead, stay away from me."

She stood by coldly as others bullied Lei Siwen, and reduced her first love to ashes.

In private, Lei Siwen discovered that even the most hateful people had their reasons for being pitiful.

They slowly drew closer and comforted each other,

hoping to change their fates together and escape this godforsaken little town.

But rules were rules.

Even at the top of the pyramid, there was always someone higher.

A mutual love quietly grew beneath the moonlight,

only to be snuffed out in its cradle by an accident.

Ten years later, after her friends and parents talked her into it, Lei Siwen went to a class reunion.

One was a somewhat well-known online novelist, the other a rising, famous actress.

She thought it would be no more than a chance encounter, but an adaptation of one of her novels bound them together.

Qu Yun brought out the manuscript she had thought was already burned.

"If you can't forgive me, why not take revenge with even greater success?"

Yes, revenge. Be an adult about it.

Use Qu Yun to cross over from novelist to screenwriter.

Doubt Qu Yun, convinced this is just another game of money.

Fall in love with Qu Yun, as if the feelings from ten years ago have come back to life.

Hate Qu Yun: You crazy, twisted freak. You make me sick.

When the superstar won Best Actress again and stood beneath the spotlights,

she told the millions watching on camera the whole story.

"My latest work is adapted from novelist Lei Siwen's debut novel.

It is based on the Qu Yun of the past. Yes, I was the bully."

From deliberately ruining herself to accepting judgment,

all Qu Yun wanted was to break the curse of being eighteen,

complete one person's revenge, two people's redemption, and a whole group's punishment,

and let Lei Siwen fall in love with the woman she had become at twenty-eight.

Theme: The person you're looking for is right there, where the lights fade.
