A refined, devoted, scheming CEO X a carefree, oblivious heiress

Ye Mingyue is a minor actress invited to join a variety show that sells itself on wealthy people's love lives. According to her money-minded agent, she's just cannon fodder, there to draw online fire away from the other short-tempered heiresses. The production crew can't afford to offend those young ladies, so they need someone beautiful, unknown, without connections, obedient, and easy to manipulate.

Ye Mingyue: ? Has anyone considered that I'm the one who needs to make it in show business?

To avoid getting torn apart online, Ye Mingyue decides to keep a low profile.

On the day of filming, while one luxury car after another, from Maybachs and Bentleys to Rolls-Royces, makes an appearance, thanks to her agent, Ye Mingyue calmly steps out of a black Volkswagen. Under the production crew's astonished stares, she says without a trace of embarrassment, "The company has no money. Sorry."

But the heiresses and heirs who had been sitting comfortably in their luxury cars are suddenly thrown off. Ye Mingyue glances around. Oh, plenty of familiar faces here, including her convenient husband, whom she's been secretly married to for over a year.

The man sits quietly in a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce. Unlike the others, who have dressed up for the occasion, he wears a crisp black shirt. A hint of cool, pale skin shows at his collar, and the dark color makes him seem especially aloof and ethereal. His gaze is cold as he looks up at Ye Mingyue, his expression inscrutable in the dim interior of the car.

That night, a million yuan appears in Ye Mingyue's account, with no note. The only clue to its source is the character Qin.

Ye Mingyue laughs. You're dating other women every day, and there's evidence of cheating everywhere. Isn't that a little too small for hush money?

And yet, on the first night, she receives a love message from Qin Su.

On the second night, she receives a love message from Qin Su.

On the third night, she receives a love message from Qin Su.

Ye Mingyue stares suspiciously at her phone. Did the Qin Group's stock price fall? Does Qin Su need to cultivate a devoted-lover image to turn things around? He should have said so. She's great at acting.

So Ye Mingyue gives it her all, and the two of them successfully pair up. That night, Qin Su invites her to dinner. Ye Mingyue gets it. It's a celebration dinner.

But when she's drunk and woozy, pressed into the bed and surrounded by the man's cold, sharp presence, Ye Mingyue finally comes to her senses. It seems... this wasn't an act.

When they first met, he was merely an illegitimate son whom the Qin family had just acknowledged and already despised. Ostracized, he stood like a rat in the shadowy corner of a glittering banquet.

At the center of the banquet was the star of the day, as if she had been born to live beneath the spotlight. She stood in the midst of everyone's attention in a gorgeous, lavish white princess dress, gathering all the brilliance of the ballroom around her. She was so beautiful she seemed beyond compare, the bright moon in the heavens, forever beyond his reach.

Amid the chaos of the banquet, he was so annoyed that he wanted to slip away unnoticed. A white porcelain plate holding a pretty, fluffy little cake blocked his path. The girl before him smiled radiantly. "Hey, it's my birthday. Isn't it a little rude to sneak off without even having a piece of cake?"

That day, for once, he finished an entire piece of dessert, something he normally wouldn't even touch. His heart kept trembling at the sight of the girl beside him stretching languidly like a cat.

Everyone knows that Qin Su, head of a top corporation in Shen City, has a white moonlight he longed for but could never reach when he was young. He went to every length to keep her by his side. But he knows that's not enough. He wants more.

If someone else is bound to have her, why can't it be me?

A romance-variety-show story set in the entertainment industry. Both leads are each other's only partners. Thank you for reading. This humble author is begging you to add the book to your collection. Thank you, dear readers!

[The Eighth Great Galaxy]:

[Synopsis]

When Song Yu was a heartbreaker, she walked through the flowers of C University without getting a single petal on her, and everyone said she was heartless.

No one knew that, when she was young and locked away in a psychiatric hospital, she had a white moonlight.

That person saved her, loved her, and left her all his savings when he went away. He stood beneath a lush green tree and gazed at her. He said, "May we both be free."

By the time she received this expression of his feelings, several years had passed. That thin slip of paper, gathering the dust of time, set off a world-shaking storm in her heart.

-

Have you heard? Xu Qiao, the famous, unattainable flower of the mathematics department, voted the hottest swimmer on the school's forum, cool and self-possessed, a handsome guy who's never dated, got dumped by Song Yu just one week after she won him over!

"Xu Qiao, I like someone else." Song Yu curled her slender, pale fingers around her smooth, black hair. Her smile was radiant, but her words were blunt and hurtful. "We... should call it quits."

The fireworks in the distance made the man's dark eyes look even deeper. He simply gazed at Song Yu and said gently, "...It's okay. You don't have to feel sorry for me."

Song Yu instantly breathed a sigh of relief. At last, she'd gotten rid of this nuisance.

"...Because I never intended to just let things end here." He slowly leaned toward Song Yu, who was frozen in astonishment, his eyes full of bewitching intent. "I don't mind if you like him and like me at the same time."

-

Xu Qiao first met Song Yu in the lobby of the psychiatric hospital. Her face was thin and pale. As she stood there, her parents slapped her hard across the face. When she turned her head, Xu Qiao saw the swelling rise on her cheek. When their eyes met, he realized she was smiling.

They failed to escape from the psychiatric hospital. He was taken away and kept at home, with time only to leave her a note and a bank card.

After painstakingly managing to see her again, he found another strange man standing by her side. He thought she was doing well, but why did she cry whenever she got drunk?

Then I'll use every means at my disposal to make you mine alone.

They say a dead white moonlight is impossible to compete with. After all, who can outdo the dead?

And a white moonlight who can't be found is much the same as someone who's dead. Xu Qiao wracks his brains to erase this person from Song Yu's heart, only to discover himself?

That dead white moonlight was me?

A man secretly in love, cool and self-possessed on the surface but actually a scheming menace.

Reader's note:

1. Both leads are each other's only partners. The heroine has psychological issues, and her playgirl ways are related to her family circumstances.

2. One-on-one romance. The heroine is a playgirl who never gets emotionally involved. Happy ending.

3. The hero is extremely possessive. The heroine behaves badly early on, so read with caution if that bothers you.

Theme: Money is just a worldly possession.
