Gentle, white-moonlight heroine who loves making dark cuisine x truly mad-dog hero

Xu You is a well-behaved girl in every sense of the word. She's pretty, does well in school, and has a good temper. Even the friends who have known her for years have never heard her say a single harsh word.

Zhuang Che is a notorious playboy among this year's international students. He changes girlfriends one after another, and he and Xu You come from completely different worlds.

No one would ever connect two people like them.

On New Year's Eve, the riverside in a small foreign town was packed with people who had come to watch the fireworks.

Xu You was jostled by the crowd and bumped into a solid back.

As she staggered, Zhuang Che wrapped his arms around her to steady her.

The fireworks blazed brilliantly overhead. His hand at the small of her back suddenly tightened, pulling her closer, just as they had intertwined breaths and clung to each other countless times before.

Then he bent down, his lips brushing her ear as he spoke in an ambiguous tone.

“Come find me when the fireworks are over.”

Xu You calmly stepped out of Zhuang Che's arms. The careless smile at the corner of his lips fell into her eyes along with the sparks of the fireworks.

Only then did her friend notice and make their way through the crowd to Xu You's side. Once Zhuang Che had disappeared into the throng, the friend asked in surprise,

“You know Zhuang Che?”

Xu You looked up at the fireworks bursting one after another in the sky and replied coolly, “I don't know him.”

-

In a relationship that didn't begin with genuine feelings,

Xu You thought their most intimate moments were when the distance between them was less than zero.

But Zhuang Che thought their most intimate moments were when their eyes met and they saw no one but each other.

“Man, You Successfully Caught My Attention”

“Greasy,” adorable, and clumsy girl x sinister, ruthless living king of hell

Substitute romance

After saying the classic line for the thousandth time in a CEO romance, “The young master hasn't smiled this happily in ages,” Jin Jue, using the alias Wang Yu, finally! transmigrates into an old-fashioned angsty romance novel, “The Domineering CEO's Passionate Love: Where Has His Delicate White Moonlight Gone?” She becomes the CEO's white moonlight, who vanished without a trace after going abroad.

The plot of this book can be summed up in two simple lines:

Five years ago, she left without a word. His heart broke, and their childhood-sweetheart romance came to an end.

Five years later, she returned home in dire straits. He had a new love by his side, and their tortured romance, tangled in love and hate, could not be rekindled.

And what makes this book so cruel is that it only torments the white moonlight.

The CEO hates the white moonlight and wants her dead.

The substitute hates the white moonlight and wants her dead.

The vicious female side character hates the white moonlight and wants her dead, too.

Even a passing dog has to jump up and kick the white moonlight twice before leaving.

Jin Jue finished reading the plot: ...

Chapter One: The white moonlight returns home.

The white moonlight is penniless, homeless, and... wait, the white moonlight got framed by someone?! And they're refusing to pay compensation and won't let her leave?!!

Tears welled in Jin Jue's eyes, and she quickly got into character, ready to pour out all her grievances.

Suddenly, the System's vigorous voice rang out in her mind: “Smash him! Hit him with money, and hit him hard!”

“Then lift your chin and curl your lips into a smile that's thirty percent contempt and seventy percent mockery. Tell him, ‘You want money, don't you? Fine. I'll give it to you!’”

Jin Jue weighed the two light coins in her pocket, and an indescribable excitement began to stir.

-

Yan Mingsheng was not a character in the story and should never have had anything to do with Jin Jue.

But Jin Jue lost her job, and it was because of him.

Jin Jue was taken hostage by criminals, and it was because of him.

Jin Jue's house burned down, and it was still because of him.

Although nothing good ever happened when she ran into Yan Mingsheng, Jin Jue knew perfectly well he wasn't a jinx. He was a living king of hell, so she resolved to stay away from him.

But things didn't go as planned. As the story progressed, Yan Mingsheng invaded her life like air, silently yet forcefully, filling every last crack.

As the white moonlight, Jin Jue had to follow the plot.

Because of a misunderstanding, the CEO left the white moonlight standing in the rain.

As the rain poured down and blurred her vision, Jin Jue diligently played her part, curling her lips into a mocking smile. “No matter how cold this rain is, it can't compare to a man's cold, heartless...”

The rain suddenly stopped.

An umbrella appeared over Jin Jue's head.

Jin Jue turned around and met Yan Mingsheng's ever-gentle smile.

Yan Mingsheng looked away from the black car driving off. “It's cold out. You'll catch a cold if you get soaked.”

Jin Jue: “?”

The white moonlight had endured one humiliation and torment after another, and finally resolved to explain the misunderstanding to the CEO.

As Jin Jue opened the door, she put a hand to her forehead and smiled bitterly. “Man, you've crossed the line. You've touched my deepest taboo...”

Yan Mingsheng suddenly appeared in front of the door, a faint smile in his eyes. “The weather report says it'll rain this afternoon. You'd better stay in.”

Jin Jue turned to look out the window. The sun was shining brightly. She kept her hand to her forehead and smiled bitterly. Hmph. What a cheeky little prankster, always joking around.

She had just started to say something when she heard the door lock click.
