The Sleepless City of Love

[A story about the moonlight in one's heart turning into a flower of the other shore]

Her lover, who had died in a car accident seven years ago, suddenly appeared in front of his car. Shen Mingxu was so startled his heart nearly stopped. He couldn't believe his eyes, and thought he was seeing a ghost in broad daylight because he missed her too much. His hand clenched into a fist, nearly crushing his cane, but at last he managed to speak to her as if he didn't care.

Sha Yunxi didn't know who he was! She had forgotten everything!

If Sha Yunxi hadn't died, then who had put him through all this suffering over the past seven years?

As the son of a father who had gone from illegitimate child to legitimate heir, Shen Mingxu had learned from childhood to weigh the pros and cons and read people's hearts. It was a necessary lesson in life.

A limp and near-blindness were enough! He would protect the woman he loved, and he would take control of his own life!

Alternative blurb:

The hospital bed was a little hard. Yunxi woke in pain, drifting in and out of consciousness, but she knew that she and he were both safe.

The first thing she did was call Shen Mingxu. When he answered, she heard a voice that was both familiar and strange. Yunxi understood that this was her chance to explain. "Xiaoxu, my love for you is real. I'm the one who loves you most. But I've been lying to you all along... I'm sorry."

Shen Mingchen had stabbed through her lung. She would need a very long time to recover, and it was uncertain whether she would ever fully recover. The doctors couldn't guarantee what condition she would be in when she did.

Shen Mingxu already knew the truth, but hearing her say it herself still felt like a sentence being passed. He couldn't speak. He was angry, too. After taking a deep breath, he struggled to ask, "Xiaoxi, I didn't hate you for approaching me seven years ago. But seven years later, you kept lying to me... for over a year..."

Tears streamed down Yunxi's face. She was heartbroken. "Xiaoxu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I lied to you. I'm sorry..." She had done it for work. How could she explain?

The person on the other end said nothing. She knew he was upset, and her heart ached. Her wound hurt even more.

After a long silence, the call was still connected. Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine. I'm doing well here, and I have people taking care of me. We probably won't be able to see each other for a long time. I might stay here for work, too. Take good care of yourself. Let's both keep going... You don't have to wait for me..."

Heartbroken and silent, Shen Mingxu was overwhelmed with complicated feelings. He fought back his tears. He felt so wronged, but all he could manage was a vague, "Mm..."

Four-year age gap, both leads' first relationship, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

The male lead has a limp and uses a cane. He won't recover, and he will gradually go blind.
