Lin Jiaxian rarely came home, so Cheng Yang kept missing her. This year, he decided to move to her city for work.

Anyone with eyes could tell Cheng Yang liked her, but Lin Jiaxian was blind to it.

She was certain Cheng Yang would be her good friend for life. She would take his side, but only as a friend.

A friend for life? Being by her side for a lifetime would be wonderful, just as it had been for the past twenty-odd years, Cheng Yang thought.

But he let it slip that he liked her.

This is bad! Now they can't even be friends.

He ran away on the spot, thinking he might never see Lin Jiaxian again.

When they met again, Lin Jiaxian asked him, "Would you like to try being together with me?"

Not everyone is expected to succeed. Chu Yi was recruited just to fill out the background.

From that moment on, her life began to change

No one believed in her, yet she became the top performer among her cohort.

Even when she earned outstanding results every time, the staff still mocked her.

Only Lin Jiaxian always believed in her.

On the final night of their agreement, Chu Yi took first place and became the brightest part of Lin Jiaxian's path to promotion.

Some people shine onstage, while many more work behind the scenes to prepare for it.

The people offstage are not insignificant accessories.

New novel: Night Moon Shines on Hong Ying

[Career-focused heroine, both leads' first love, one-on-one romance, happy ending]

A story about two people burdened by a blood feud who slowly draw closer to each other.

In the seventeenth year of the Hexi era, the last snowfall in Guliang County, Chang Ye returned to the birthplace he had never visited.

It was also the hometown Luo Huyue had left behind thirteen years ago. On New Year's Eve, fresh snow from home fell upon her, an old wanderer.

The New Year Chang Ye and Luo Huyue spent hiding out in Guliang County, Yanzhou, left his whole world with nothing but snow and the woman he loved.

Chang Ye, the eldest son of the Duke of Jin's household, is a famous beauty in the capital and a gifted young man. The trouble is, all he ever thinks about is resigning from office.

Behind his back, the aristocrats whisper that he is an illegitimate child of unknown maternal origins, which explains his lack of ambition.

He once saw mountains loftier than these, and so he has no desire for anything in this world.

Yet he has never forgotten one young woman. She spent many years struggling through the darkness, her identity changing several times. She was no longer the person he had first met.

On the Emperor's orders, Chang Ye travels to Yanzhou. After crossing mountain after mountain, he recognizes her at a glance through the lush foliage.

At a temple atop a mountain a hundred meters away, Li Huyue, the late Earl of Zhongyong's only daughter, has returned.

After Luo Huyue's father died, her uncle drove her out of the family home. She left Yanzhou with her mother for more than a decade and took her mother's surname.

Fortunately, she can always trigger her mind-reading ability at crucial moments, allowing her to make a place for herself in the capital.

This tenacious weed gradually grew into a tree where no one could see.

When trouble strikes Yanzhou, she returns home as a vengeful ghost wearing Li Huyue's identity and wreaks havoc in the Earl of Zhongyong's household.

But there she finds the new Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the eldest son of the Duke of Jin, also sent to get involved in this mess.

She looks at the man who saved her life. He shouldn't be here.

Luo Huyue lowers her head, her expression hidden among the deep and shifting shadows of the trees.

Luo Huyue, a senior Embroidered Uniform Guard and adopted daughter of the Commander. If she can solve it with her fists, she won't waste words. (Huyue: Hu, second tone)
