Since college, Lu Ran had strained to reach the bright moon, rising onto his toes and craning his neck to touch her.
But the moon had fallen into someone else's arms.
So he let go and wished his moon happiness.
He thought he'd never be able to reach her again in this life.
Later, his moon came tumbling toward him, covered in scars.
He caught her steadily and held her tenderly in his arms, never letting go again.
In short, for the male lead, a mere grain of rice becomes the moon he longs for; for the second male lead, the moon he longs for becomes a dream come true.
[The male lead tries to win her back but fails & the second male lead takes his place (the original male lead is He Ting, and the second male lead Lu Ran takes over) & face-slapping and eating one's words]
Warnings: 1. Not a clean romance. 2. Includes imprisonment. 3. The original male lead is unbelievably scummy, the kind of scum with no humanity. If any of this bothers you, please don't read.
My writing and life experience are limited, so some parts may not be entirely rigorous. Corrections are welcome, but please refrain from criticism (bows politely).
