Handwritten Moonlight

[The next book, Tidal Tears: marriage first, love later + substitute + chasing his wife. Blurb at the end]

- This novel's blurb -

Free-spirited band vocalist vs. bright, sunny photographer

| Unrequited love becomes mutual + fake dating |

1

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

She met him and became his first fan;

She confessed her feelings, but never gave him the letter;

Years later, they met again, and she began pretending to be his girlfriend.

As her fake boyfriend, Cheng Xinhuai was perfectly considerate and never overstepped. There was nothing to fault him for.

Wen Yiting was happy and heartbroken. No one had ever taken up residence in those affectionate eyes of his.

Cheng Xinhuai, the eldest son of the Cheng family of Beicheng, refused to follow the path his family had laid out for him, devoting himself instead to music.

As the vocalist of the Prime Number band, he was gentle, modest, and immensely talented. He drew every eye just by standing there.

To escape the marriage her family was forcing on him and the inheritance that would cost him his freedom, Wen Yiting became his girlfriend, his shield.

She thought their life together could go on peacefully forever.

Until one day, Cheng Xinhuai discovered Wen Yiting's secret: in the handwritten letters she'd continued to write over the years, she'd recorded all the ways she loved him.

The moment Wen Yiting began to feel that all her heartache had been worth it came on a hazy moonlit night.

Cheng Xinhuai stood before her, bathed in clear moonlight. His eyes held a gentle glow, and his voice was sincere. "Wen Yiting, would you accept a love letter that's long overdue?"

[The moon didn't just shine on me. It answered me, too.]

1. One-on-one, both leads have only been with each other.

2. Not a typical showbiz story.

3. No real-life inspirations. Please don't read the characters as real people.

[Marriage first, love later + substitute | easygoing host vs. refined man in power]

-

Lu Jinwei agreed to go on a blind date at his grandfather's request. After their first meeting, he saw the woman sobbing in the rain for someone else.

He had already prepared a way to turn her down, but changed his mind.

His requirements for a future wife were simple enough: she must not love him, and they would treat each other with courtesy.

Jiang Xu fit the bill.

Before marrying, the two reached an unspoken agreement.

He reminded her, "Don't expect anything from me emotionally."

She agreed. "We'll each get what we need."

-

Jiang Xu's impression of Lu Jinwei came mostly from magazine profiles: an heir to a wealthy family, a gentleman praised by everyone, yet aloof and unfeeling, decisive and ruthless in business.

Apart from the occasions when they had to put in an appearance, they kept out of each other's way.

Everyone thought Lu Jinwei had no feelings for his wife. Even Jiang Xu thought so.

One day after they were married, Jiang Xu was crying, her face soaked with tears. Lu Jinwei said nothing. He simply pulled her into his arms and let her tears dampen his clothes.

The next day, Lu Jinwei went to great lengths to cheer her up. Jiang Xu couldn't help asking why he was doing all this.

His expression was calm, his gaze deep. "I don't want you to cry."

Later, Lu Jinwei learned who had once made Jiang Xu cry.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xu was held so tightly in someone's arms that she couldn't move.

Lu Jinwei brushed the tears from the corner of her eye, his voice helpless. "Don't cry. Could you love me?"

"Could you make even a little room for me in your heart..."

[The bonds between people are woven together with tears.

If tears are what sincerity and love become, I hope that, for you, they mean happiness.]
