Strong-willed, straightforward fake heiress x carefree actor (now serializing). An unconventional second-chance romance, with a groveling ex who has to win her back
Teacher/writer x top-tier star | Wen Yuegui x Qin Hanyu (campus + urban)
To everyone around her, Wen Yuegui was an honest, well-behaved girl with a steady job in the public sector. Her life followed a predictable routine, perfectly suited to quiet days and far removed from the thrill of a life gone off the rails.
No one knew that, in her youth, she had been a spectator to Qin Hanyu's passionate love story.
As both spectator and go-between, she ran errands and passed along messages. She was of little importance.
But her secret crush on Qin Hanyu was her greatest secret, and the farthest she had ever strayed from her ordinary life.
2.
At university, her wildest dream came true.
Qin Hanyu suddenly confessed his feelings, and they got together.
Like a child holding a scoop of moonlight in her hands, she approached him little by little, trembling, even as he kept her at arm's length.
She secretly overheard him speaking to a friend in a low, indifferent voice: “The old man told me to give it a try with her, said she's better than anyone else. Now that I see her, she's nothing special.”
How could a moon reflected in water and flowers in a mirror not shatter?
Not long afterward, everyone heard that they had broken up. No one was surprised.
The gentle and taciturn girl and the carefree, wild-hearted man were like fire and water, and it was only a matter of time before they came to a complete break.
3.
Then one day, beneath a pale moon and in the misty rain, someone saw Qin Hanyu standing in the moonlight, trying to hold an umbrella over a girl and pull her into his arms. His eyes were red with stubborn desperation. “Little Moon.”
The girl shoved him away. Her eyes were clear and cold as she slowly backed into the rain, crushing the moonlight scattered across the ground. Her voice was flat but firm. “Qin Hanyu, when I get rained on, I only run forward. I never look back.”
4.
Years later, they met again. He had become a hugely popular award-winning actor, while she was living a quiet life.
Their reunion began with just one line.
“Little Moon.”
“Mr. Qin.”
