A Pillowful of Moonlight

A bewitching beauty × an aristocratic young master

Reunion after a long separation | Reconciliation after heartbreak | Love and hate intertwined | Devoted love

One day, Qiao Siyu was in a bad mood, so she went to a bar and asked her friend to mix her a strong drink.

While they were there, her friend asked if she wanted to return to the capital with him for the music conservatory's centennial celebration.

Already a little drunk, Qiao Siyu rested her heavy head in one hand. Her eyes seemed filled with the morning mist, and hazy, shimmering tears glimmered in them.

She remembered the scene she'd seen in that private room an hour ago. The man had sat casually at the card table, impeccably dressed in his suit and exuding confidence. His words and manner were as arrogantly distinguished as ever. The smiling star pressed against his side was none other than her old enemy.

For no reason she could explain, it felt as if something had squeezed her heart, and waves of bitterness rolled through her.

She smiled faintly and parted her red lips. "I'll never go back again, not in this lifetime."

But through a twist of fate, she met him again, the man whose distinguished background was too imposing to probe.

She had almost forgotten his nature: he always repaid a grudge. They had barely reunited before he had her in his grasp.

With no other choice, she went to the suite where he usually stayed, late at night.

Xiao Junqi wore a dark dressing gown, his tall frame settled on the sofa. His peerless face was enough to make anyone fall for him. His deep eyes gave her a cold once-over before he spoke in a frivolous tone: "Go take a shower first."

--

Everyone in their circle knew that a man like Xiao Junqi was not to be crossed. Never mind his powerful connections; his methods alone were enough to make anyone wary.

But no one knew he would travel a thousand miles for a kiss over an emoji.

The room was dim. Qiao Siyu was pinned against the wall, and the man's eyes were dark and deep, as if he meant to peer into her heart. "Didn't you want to kiss me? Here's your chance to do it in person."

Qiao Siyu didn't dare meet his gaze. The night before, she'd accidentally sent him a puckered-lips kiss emoji. She never expected him to fly all the way here today.

Her face flushed and her heart raced as she explained, "I tapped it by mistake."

"By mistake?" He studied her for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and captured her soft lips, invading her mouth. As she struggled, his low, rich voice reached her ear. "Then don't blame me for punishing you."

Contract marriage | Married first, love later | Devoted love | The chaste one falls | Mutual salvation

Zhou Mi planned to get married before turning thirty, but she never imagined that not long after graduating from university, she would impulsively marry a stranger.

At the blind date, the man was dressed in a suit and had an outstanding air about him, along with a face so handsome it was impossible to forget.

She wasn't sure whether her attraction to his looks had won out or his offer had simply been tempting enough, but Zhou Mi didn't hesitate for long before embarking on this adventure.

After they got their marriage certificates, they never saw each other again. Then, three months later, an unexpected incident landed Zhou Mi and her friend in the executive offices of Yunding Corporation after someone deliberately caused trouble.

Only then did Zhou Mi learn that the man who was her husband in name was actually the owner of a listed company.

The light in the car was dim. The man leaned back in his seat, long legs spread carelessly, his expression unreadable and his gaze deep. "What are you making a fuss about?"

Zhou Mi belatedly felt awkward and answered honestly, "Your rumored fiancee has a grudge against my friend. She deliberately picked a fight, and we were so angry we chased her upstairs. We had no idea you were the one backing her."

At her words, the man's brows lifted slightly. "So you knew I worked here?"

"No. If I had, I wouldn't have dared go up against your fiancee!"

The man arched his brows. "Anyone who didn't know better might think you were jealous. Where did I get a fiancee?"

Lu Yuxiao was the eldest son of the Lu family. He was handsome, capable, and known throughout Shanghai as a rich, good-looking bachelor. But he was aloof and difficult to approach. Though beautiful women were always around him, none had ever entered his world.

His friends joked that he was impotent. None of them expected him to secretly get married without telling anyone.

Once they got over their surprise and thought it over, they guessed that the woman was only a pawn Lu Yuxiao had taken to defy his father. He had no real feelings for her, and they would eventually split up.

As it turned out, they were right.

But things went off course, and Lu Yuxiao gradually lost control of himself in the relationship.

In the end, they ended up in the same bed.

Lu Yuxiao got a taste of what he was missing and couldn't stop.

That night, Zhou Mi was flushed and feverish, weakly lying in his arms as she softly asked, "Is our contract still valid?"

The desire hadn't left the man's eyes, and his voice was sweet as honey. "Of course. So don't even think about running away."

"And then we'll get divorced in three years?"

"Would you be willing to?"

Zhou Mi suddenly turned playful. "As long as the money's right, why wouldn't I be?"

At that, Lu Yuxiao rolled over and gripped her waist, his desire reigniting. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

--

Later, for reasons of her own, Zhou Mi left the city and left him behind, swearing she would never return.

"See? I told you they wouldn't last long."

"I knew it. They had no feelings for each other. They were just putting on a show for his father."

"I said from the start that theirs was a contract marriage, and you didn't believe me!"

"I could believe Lu Yuxiao never getting married, but I'd never believe he'd fall in love and get married in a flash. And look, I was right."

Everyone talked about it, congratulating themselves on how clever they were and how well they understood Lu Yuxiao.

But they never expected that before long, Lu Yuxiao would leave Shanghai, leave the Lu family, and give up every bit of status that came with being a young master of the Lus.

His friends urgently called to ask where he had gone.

The man's voice came calmly but firmly through the phone: "To find my wife."
