Scorching Moon

Blurb 1:

Lu Yanxing's grandfather and Jiang Ningyue's grandfather were sworn brothers. When they were young, they arranged a marriage between their grandchildren to strengthen their bond.

However, Lu Yanxing despised arranged marriages made without the consent of the people involved.

So, when he returned to the country on business at the age of twenty-seven, the first thing he did was break off the engagement.

The old man was furious, but he knew Lu Yanxing's nature. His grandson wasn't asking for his opinion; he was simply informing him.

Grandpa Lu knew he couldn't change Lu Yanxing's mind. To make it up to Jiang Ningyue, he officially adopted her as his god-granddaughter and made a point of finding her eligible young men every day.

Blurb 2:

After Lu Yanxing and Jiang Ningyue broke off their engagement, they met for the first time at the celebration of Jiang Ningyue's grandfather's eightieth birthday.

Jiang Ningyue wore a white dress, her soft hair tucked behind her ears. She smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, as the summer breeze stirred her hem.

She walked past Lu Yanxing. A breeze carried a faint fragrance to him, and for some reason, it lingered in his breath.

He lifted his eyes and watched Jiang Ningyue's retreating figure.

His younger cousin followed his gaze. "That's Jiang Ningyue, Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter. Your fiancée."

Then he remembered that Lu Yanxing had already broken off the engagement, and corrected himself. "No, your ex-fiancée."

Lu Yanxing's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he suddenly felt a little irritated.

Blurb 3:

Jiang Ningyue knew Lu Yanxing disliked her, so she never spoke to him first. When they crossed paths in public, she acted as though she didn't know him.

Until one day, she went to celebrate Grandpa Lu's birthday and, by sheer coincidence, ran into Lu Yanxing in the garden after dinner.

She treated him like a stranger and couldn't be bothered to greet him, simply walking past him.

But after she had taken two steps, Lu Yanxing's voice came from behind her. "Miss Jiang, am I some kind of monster? Why do you avoid me every time you see me?"

Jiang Ningyue stopped and turned to face Lu Yanxing. Candidly, she said, "I thought you didn't want to talk to me."

Lu Yanxing: "???"
