The Vanished White Moonlight

-

The heroine is a gentle, beautiful white moonlight who is considered dead by everyone. She often appears in men's dreams, so the mad dogs can't forget her.

Some mystery, around 40 percent of the story. Psychological horror, with a repeating-loop plot setup.

I think it'll be in first person. I'm back to writing something just for myself.

Blurb:

"The couple living next door to me are a young pair who look absolutely perfect together."

"But little by little, I began to realize that the handsome, tall husband was lying to his wife every second of every day. His appearance was fake, his job was fake. Everything was a lie meant to deceive her, and she had no idea she had already fallen into the sweet trap her husband had set..."

1.

Lu Ning had always thought her marriage was perfect.

She had dated, fallen in love with, and married the most popular boy at school, whom she had admired and secretly loved since her student days.

Though he was arrogant and aloof around others, he was endlessly patient and understanding with her.

She had never left her husband's side.

She thought she could go on being happy like that forever.

Then one day, one of her students in a literature class handed in an assignment like this.

2.

She found it fresh and interesting, and even thought her student had real talent. She went so far as to teach her how to bring out her writing potential.

Gradually, she began to notice that every day's assignment seemed to describe her and her husband between the lines.

From the student's perspective,

her husband was obsessive, sinister, arrogant, and extremely controlling.

He followed her every day, watching everything she did.

He wouldn't even let her leave his side.

She began to feel afraid.

And an impromptu trip with her husband only deepened that fear.

3.

One day, she and her husband went on vacation to an unfamiliar city.

Captivated by the beautiful seascape, Lu Ning saw her husband busy and, not wanting to bother him, went off on her own.

As she rested by the sea, Lu Ning met a woman who looked exactly like her.

Before she could even be afraid, the woman grabbed her hysterically.

"Weren't you dead already? If you're still alive, hurry back! They're going crazy!"

From that day on, her peaceful life began to turn strange.

Reader's Guide

1. The heroine is very, very weak. This is not a strong female lead story. It's an old-school melodrama with a powerful man and a weak woman, coercive romance, a plastic-surgery double, a villainous politician, and vicious brothers, among other things.

2. Everyone who appears is a top-tier dragon person. According to the story setup, the heroine should meet them first, but the plot has gone off track. Before or after she meets them, she is presumed dead and appears only in their dreams, so none of them are quite right in the head. When they meet the heroine, who's come back from the dead, they go mad.

3. A nutcase has a female side character get plastic surgery to look like the heroine and act as her double. Another nutcase gets a little plastic surgery to disguise himself as the heroine's husband.

4. The marriage certificate is fake, and the heroine is not a virgin, but the male lead is. Yes, I know that's uncommon in the real world, but this is the world I made up, and everything goes the way I like.

5. The setting is fictional, and most of the details are exaggerated. Please don't take it as a reflection of real life.

Blurb dated 2024-09-26. The setting and inspiration came from the film In the House.

Theme: Being loved too intensely may not be a good thing
