Huo Zhizhi was an orphan who was sent to the Ming family estate to marry someone as soon as she came of age.

Her fiancé was immensely powerful, the head of the Ming family, rumored to sit high above the clouds, beyond anyone's reach.

He was also the man she'd glimpsed once and secretly loved for three years, her moonlight.

But on the night of their engagement, she learned that Mr. Ming had a moonlight of his own who had died young.

He left his new fiancée behind and chatted casually with his friends:

"I'm only marrying her to fulfill the engagement agreement."

"Mrs. Ming? She's not worthy."

From happiness filling her heart to a heart turned to ashes.

She held back her tears and left without looking back.

Ming Zhu saw her again in a friend's social media post.

The young woman was smiling brightly as she posed for a picture surrounded by a group of boys her age.

His obnoxious friend read the caption aloud.

"Welcome to our lab, once-in-a-century beauty and genius from the nuclear physics department! (P.S. Apparently she's single, too!)"

"Wow, Mr. Ming, your fiancée just announced to the world that she's single."

As his friend kept teasing him, Ming Zhu drank a whole bottle of liquor by himself.

Was it the alcohol, or a desire he could no longer suppress?

In the pouring rain, Ming Zhu stood alone outside the nuclear physics building, soaked to the skin.

But three or four boys were eagerly holding a dry patch of sky over Huo Zhizhi's head, ingratiating themselves with her and asking whether she could add their names to her top-tier journal paper.

Surrounded by them, Huo Zhizhi happened to catch sight of Ming Zhu in the rain.

Then she turned away briskly, without sparing him even half a glance.

Later, Huo Zhizhi finally built up enough resources to study abroad and leave him for good.

Before she left, she tossed him a divorce agreement.

Ming Zhu's eyes were dark and sinister, but he did not stop her.

After she was gone, Ming Zhu accidentally learned that Huo Zhizhi was the moonlight he had lost twenty years ago!

From then on, the usually aloof and proud president of the Ming family broke his vows and fell into madness.

He was willing to shatter all his composure to win her back.

Coming soon: After Scratching My Crush's Rolls-Royce, synopsis:

Genius race car driver x mixed-race investor | Shameless lecher x prim and proper act

As the second daughter of the wealthy Meng family of Qingjing, Meng Ruyi was stunningly beautiful and carefree.

She had just two goals in life: racing cars and picking up handsome men.

When she was twenty, her parents gave her two choices.

Either make a million from scratch within a year, or obediently go on arranged dates and marry for an alliance.

Unable to give up her male models, Meng Ruyi tearfully chose the first option and was kicked out of the house with nothing to her name.

On the first day of poverty, she accidentally scratched a stretch Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Meng Ruyi's vision went black, but then the car window rolled down, revealing a face of mixed Chinese and European heritage.

The handsome man's features were icy, his shoulders broad and waist slim. He was even more handsome than the top male models she'd slept with.

Something that didn't exist sprang to life in an instant!!

She leaned pathetically against her crush's car window.

"Handsome, I don't have money to fix your car. Could I... make it up to you another way?"

The handsome man shot her a cold glance. As the window closed, she heard him say,

"Dream on."

But Meng Ruyi still got what she wanted: she got him.

Day and night, she couldn't get enough of him.

A year later, still poor, Meng Ruyi pulled up her pants in the middle of the night, left without a word, and obediently went home for an arranged date.

/.

At first, Rong Chao thought Meng Ruyi was just a gold-digging, lustful romance scammer.

Later, he realized that the gold-digging was fake, but the lust was real.

The love was fake, but the scammer was real.

After she ran away in the middle of the night, Rong Chao didn't care.

Scammers always came crawling back, and besides, he was certain she couldn't give up his body.

Until she appeared before him, smiling sweetly with her hand on her fiancé's arm.

Jealousy burned through Rong Chao's reason.

On the other side of a wall, her fiancé kept calling her name.

In the darkness behind the wall, he gripped her chin, his dark eyes vicious as he rasped and panted.

"Are you going to run again?"

Meng Ruyi's eyes filled with tears as she shook her head in panic.

Rong Chao let out a low laugh. "Liar."

"..."

"It's fine. Call your fiancé in to see..."

"Just how intimate we used to be."
