Moonlight in the Abyss

[Powerful Older Wealthy Heir X Fragile, Pure Little White Flower]

[Older Wealthy Man | Foreign Setting | Dominant and Submissive]

Zheng Hanyue follows Pei Linyuan because she hopes to find shelter in a foreign land.

A duckweed drifting through the world needs to cling to someone powerful for support.

Otherwise, on a filthy turf awash in contraband, one careless mistake could cost her life.

She and Pei Linyuan suit each other in every way.

Pei Linyuan likes peace and quiet, and she is shy and timid, not much of a talker.

Pei Linyuan's word is law, and she wants someone in power who keeps his word.

Pei Linyuan hates people going against his wishes. She happens to have no mind of her own, and obeying him keeps her from wearing herself down.

She thinks her dependence on Pei Linyuan is just ordinary admiration for the strong, until she meets those greasy, overconfident men and realizes how refined Pei Linyuan is, inside and out.

She can't tolerate even the slightest bit of unwanted advances or contempt. She is not only Pei Linyuan's possession, but also the apple of his eye, and ought to know her worth and hold her head high.

She never expected that one day she would use everything he taught her to escape...

Coming soon: "With Marriage Papers" synopsis:

Chi Yuning's marriage to Wen Shiqian began with her jealousy of her two cousins.

Her two cousins had stood out from a young age, while she had grown up receiving an education in hardship.

Only because the elders said, "Both your sisters married well," did she rush into marriage not long after starting work, marrying Wen Shiqian, who came to pick up his younger sister from kindergarten.

Wen Shiqian is the head of the Wen family, one of the great clans of the capital. A man of impeccable character, he became even more steady and dignified after leaving the military. He not only holds the reins of the family group, but is also a visiting professor at a century-old prestigious university. At the age when he needed to start a family, he wanted a gentle, capable wife to bear and raise his children, and chose Chi Yuning, a kindergarten teacher.

The siblings share the same parents but are twenty-four years apart, so it seems obvious why he would let her marry above her station.

And she has always kept three secrets from Wen Shiqian.

First, she used to think her kindergarten teacher's salary was too low, so on weekends she'd dress provocatively and model for risqué photos.

Second, her periods are irregular, so she is unlikely to conceive.

Third, she has an ex she picked up from the trash heap, a shameless, clingy scumbag. She's not the untouched blank slate he thinks she is.

Put bluntly, she deceived him into marriage.

These dark, contemptible thoughts make her inexplicably guilty whenever she faces Wen Shiqian.

When the truth comes out, she expects him to be angry. Instead, he comforts her: "You did make a mistake, but it was in thinking so little of yourself."

Whenever people sneer and ask, "What kind of people are getting married these days?" her eyes gleam with an inscrutable light as she answers in her heart: Someone like me.

Coming soon: "Defying Her Rebellious Streak" synopsis:

The Shu family has been home to generations of celebrated scholars.

Shu Kou's grandfather is a retired academician, her grandmother is an elementary school Chinese teacher, her mother teaches high school math, and her father is a university physics professor.

But she is beautiful and wild, the coolest girl at No. 8 Middle School. She's been a poor student since childhood, with none of the refinement you'd expect from a scholarly family. She often teams up with the boys in her class to defy the teachers, flagrantly flouting the rules and giving the older generation endless headaches.

One New Year, her grandparents' prized student came to visit. Seeing that she didn't greet him and just kept her head down, playing on her phone, he agreed to make time to tutor her and make sure she finished her winter break homework.

From then on, remembering that winter brings back the fear Shu Kou felt under Yao Huaishan's thumb.

Yao Huaishan was ruthless. She watched dramas, and he spoiled the plot. She followed celebrities, and he exposed their scandals. She played video games, and he challenged her to one-on-one matches, crushing her until she was desperate. Most importantly, he had won the martial arts championship three years in a row, and every time she tried to ambush him, he turned the tables on her.

Later, she got into the university of her dreams. When she ran into Yao Huaishan on the street, hanging out privately with his friends, her heart clenched and she hurriedly called him Teacher.

His friends started teasing him. Yao Huaishan's deep, charming eyes shimmered as he ignored their jokes and smiled at her. "Why call me Teacher? Call me Big Brother."

A year later, Shu Kou's father, Professor Shu, partnered with Yao Huaishan's family group. Taking academic integrity seriously, he personally went to Yao Huaishan's home to explain the details.

When the door opened, Shu Kou stood there in a brightly colored spaghetti-strap dress, her long, slender, pale legs bare, holding a chubby Garfield cat.

Yao Huaishan stepped out from behind her, saying, "You didn't even ask who it was before opening the door."

Shu's father gaped. "You two..."

Of course they were together.
