Capturing Moonlight

Wedding planner who's barely alive x obsessive, overthinking young master

Liang Yu x Lin Jiashen

Faux forbidden romance | True replacement romance (male lead) | Love at first sight (male lead)

-

After graduating and returning to the country, Lin Jiashen falls in love at first sight with Liang Yu, his stepmother's “sister-in-law,” and calls her “Little Uncle's Wife.”

Liang Yu is beautiful, capable, low-key, and even-tempered. Her privileged family background is her least remarkable advantage.

Lin Jiashen does everything he can to get close to Liang Yu. His infatuation and confusion make him overlook all the suspicious details and blind spots. His love is ready to spill out, and he neither can nor wants to hide it.

But Liang Yu always has her reservations.

“You're crossing the line.”

“Lin Jiashen, I'm sorry.”

“I'll give you an answer soon.”

-

There has always been someone in Liang Yu's heart: a man who died three years ago.

Lin Jiashen doesn't know. Or perhaps he finds out too late.

The day he learns the truth, Lin Jiashen carefully plans a proposal.

He has imagined her saying “yes” a million times, but never once imagined her collapsing right in front of him.

Only later does he realize that even his proposal had been planned as if he were someone else's shadow.

-

Liang Yu lies in a hospital bed for a long time. When she opens her eyes again, her gaze is hazy, and she calls him “Huo Yunxuan.”

Lin Jiashen's heart sinks, but he barely hesitates before taking her hand.

“I'm here.”

From that day on, Lin Jiashen becomes Liang Yu's “Huo Yunxuan.”

-

Later, Liang Yu smiles and pats his cheek, her tone full of playful amusement:

“If you want to be Huo Yunxuan, then see it through.”

“What? You started this game of being a stand-in, and now you want to quit halfway?”

“We agreed you'd be my puppy. I get to decide what to call you.”

I Didn't Mean to Confess to You

-

“I like you.”

The moment Lu Yu finishes saying those words, the man in front of her goes flying, his black suit tracing a beautiful arc through the air.

Now that's a first.

Lu Yu admires her handiwork for half a minute, nods with satisfaction, then replies to the client on her phone:

[Task complete. The scumbag has been taught a lesson. Please pay the remaining balance on time.]

The next day, Lu Yu arrives at her new company right on schedule. She was hired as a clerk, but somehow she's assigned to the president's office as a secretary.

“Lu Yu, President Lu wants to see you.”

Lu Yu pushes open the president's office door and her eyes go wide. Why is that guy from last night here?!

Lu Jixi glances at her coldly. “Take this file to the finance department.”

Thank goodness, he doesn't recognize me.

Lu Yu takes the file and bolts.

In fairy tales, the prince puts a glass slipper on Cinderella's foot, takes her back to the palace for a grand wedding, and they live happily ever after.

In real life, the prince marries Cinderella, then falls in love with the fairy godmother who gave her the glass slipper. Cinderella leaves the castle in disgrace with Cinderella the Second in tow.

Heartbroken, Cinderella curses her daughter to a life of ill fortune so she won't suffer the same fate. Anyone the girl confesses to will have bad luck.

Lu Yu's life is just such an absurd fairy-tale mashup: a wealthy father who cheats, a heartbroken mother who dies young, and Lu Yu herself, growing up cheerful and on her own.

A curse of misfortune? No, it's a way to make money.

By day, she's an ordinary corporate drone.

By night, she becomes the “AAAA City Confession Queen,” punishing scumbags on behalf of her heartbroken besties. One confession makes a scumbag unlucky for three months, and everyone who's bought her service gives it rave reviews.

-

Lately, Lu Yu's business has run into a few problems.

First, she targets the wrong person during a job. Then the unlucky victim turns out to be her direct boss.

Worst of all, her boss seems to be a stalker. Wherever she goes, she keeps seeing him.

Lu Yu considers calling the police, but has no solid evidence. She considers quitting, but can't bear to give up this heavenly job with six types of social insurance, two housing-fund contributions, a nine-to-five schedule, weekends off, and extra paid annual leave.

Then one night, as Lu Yu finishes work, she turns around and finds Lu Jixi crouching at her feet, tugging at her clothes with tears in his eyes.

Lu Jixi: “We've been together for three months. How could you, how could you confess to someone else?”

Lu Yu: “Huh?! No, no, no! I never meant to confess to you!”
