His Private Moonlight

[Cool, ruthless rising star in business × cunning beauty pretending to be sweet, fake heiress | faux siblings]

1v1, SC, a reunion from the very first chapter, possessive coercion + mutual seduction, with an 11-year age gap.

Showbiz love-triangle drama, stealing someone's partner, a showdown between the real and fake heiresses, talented star vs. well-connected star, childhood sweetheart vs. newcomer.

Blurb:

1.

Shen Mo is a famous "three-for-three" beauty in the entertainment industry.

She has a perfectly sculpted face, the status of an adopted daughter in a top-tier wealthy family, and a childhood sweetheart boyfriend: Jiang Xu, a genius director who dotes on her.

Everyone says she's so lucky.

Even with abysmal acting and scandals dogging her, she can dominate the entertainment industry thanks to her face and the capital behind her.

Only Shen Mo knows that everything she has is stolen.

She stole the life of the real heiress, Song Mingzhu, and became a substitute daughter of the Song family.

She stole the audience's affection, holding on to her spot at the top through publicity stunts and gossip.

She even stole Jiang Xu's heart, playing the innocent, untouchable dream girl for ten years.

She played the part so well that she almost believed it herself.

Until the man she'd been desperately trying to avoid returned from abroad.

Song Jingzhe.

The true heir to the Song family, and her brother in name only.

The same man who, ten years ago, nailed her to the pillar of shame with the words, "A fake is still a fake."

At his welcome-home banquet, she clung to Jiang Xu's arm, playing the devoted couple, an emerald jade bangle worth a fortune around her wrist.

After the banquet, he cornered her in a penthouse suite. His fingertips brushed the glaring green jade as his voice turned icy:

"I use my family's money to make you famous, and this is how you repay me? By throwing yourself at someone else?"

"Shen Mo, who gave you the nerve?"

What she thought was a long-awaited reunion was his carefully planned trap closing around her.

What she thought was a chance encounter that made her heart flutter was his long-plotted conquest.

2.

After Song Jingzhe returned home, Shen Mo's career took off beyond belief.

Top endorsements, first wear of luxury brands, lead roles in S+ productions... He personally placed everything every star dreamed of right in front of her.

The price was that she had to "keep her distance" from Jiang Xu.

The price was that she had to be at his beck and call, satisfying his every demand.

The price was that, in countless late nights, she had to play the kind of delicate, obedient dependent he loved, a flower that couldn't survive without him.

Rumors began spreading through the entertainment industry:

The mysterious sugar daddy behind the pretty but useless Shen Mo had finally been revealed.

He was showering her with resources as if money were no object.

Her rival was her real heiress sister, Song Mingzhu, who won award after award on the strength of her talent and was adored across the internet.

And she was a talentless star who'd stolen someone else's life, the entertainment industry's biggest joke, cursed by millions.

She stood in the eye of the storm, smiling as she accepted every honor and every accusation.

Then, in the dead of night, when no one else could hear, she softly asked Song Jingzhe:

"Brother, was my performance... to your satisfaction?"

3.

Behind the scenes at an international film festival, Song Mingzhu lifted her Best Actress trophy, basking in glory.

In Shen Mo's cramped dressing room, Song Jingzhe knelt on one knee, putting on the only pair of its kind in the world: a pair of high heels.

Outside the door, Jiang Xu waited to celebrate with her, and their relationship was about to be made public.

Inside, his burning palm rested against her, and a kiss with a hint of punishment landed on her neck.

He looked up at her, his eyes as deep as the night:

"Now the whole world knows who keeps you."

"Shen Mo, tell me..."

"Does your childhood sweetheart still dare to want you?"

Shen Mo lowered her gaze to the man before her.

The brother who gave her glory and humiliation, lifted her to heaven and dragged her down to hell.

Then she smiled softly.

Her slender fingers stroked his face, her voice sweet as honey and laced with poison:

"Brother, are you finally admitting that you love me?"

Reader's guide:

1. The female lead is no saint. She'll do anything to hold on to her position, a classic wicked supporting-character type. Readers who are strict about morals, beware.

2. The male lead is even worse: possessive and coercive, and mad with love. If that's not your thing, don't click.

3. All entertainment-industry elements are fictional. Please don't compare them to real life.
