A Stormy Seventh Day of the Sixth Month

Qu Ting's greatest regret was saving a boy on her way home in the rain that day. Only later did she learn that he was Xu Lingfei's half-brother, Xu Yunshan, who had grown up away from home.

Because she saved his life, he fell in love with her.

Xu Lingfei was her childhood sweetheart, and they were in love with each other.

He was exceptionally gifted, the most handsome man in the capital, and had trained in martial arts since childhood. He followed General Xu onto the battlefield and, though still young, had already won great renown. He was truly dazzling.

She loved him so much.

But after an accident left her drowning, she woke up unable to control herself.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, in the midst of a violent storm, her body became someone else's.

That person said this was a book, and that the second male lead, Xu Yunshan, was so pitiful because his love went unanswered. She had to save him.

Xu Yunshan was indeed pitiful, and Qu Ting knew he loved her. But so what? Her heart already belonged to someone else. She didn't like him at all. His misery wasn't caused by her and Xu Lingfei, and once he had gained power and status, he had no right to target Xu Lingfei at every turn just to claim her.

But that person had come. Using Qu Ting's body, she deliberately approached Xu Yunshan, gave him gifts, cared for him when he was sick, and treated him with endless kindness. Even when she heard that Xu Lingfei had returned from the battlefield gravely wounded, she merely sighed, then stayed by Xu Yunshan's side.

How happy they were. Qu Ting thought bitterly.

...But what about her boy? What was going to happen to him?

When she saw the young general she loved, battered and broken, dazed and distraught, clinging to life in a sickbed, no longer the spirited young man he had once been, after she had hurt him again and again,

she wanted to kill herself.

Her sun was about to set.

But...

If this was a book, wasn't she the protagonist?

As the protagonist, she had to give herself and her boy a happy ending.

*

Xu Lingfei and Qu Ting had grown up together. He knew with just one glance: "She" wasn't her.

But how could he make sense of it? Could there really be two people in the world who looked exactly alike?

No. That was her body.

He could bear "her" unfamiliar gaze falling on his younger brother Xu Yunshan, but he couldn't bear "her" using Qu Ting's body to get close to him.

Qu Ting was his girl, his alone.

Someone had taken over her body. She must be terrified.

Later, someone told him that the only way to bring her back was to trade one life for another. He agreed without hesitation.

And so, in the great battle they won, the commanding general was gravely wounded.

He traded the sun about to go dark for the moon shining high in the sky.
