Moonlit Beauty 月下娇 by Bian Ping Zhu 扁平竹

Jiang Congxian had always believed that his life was already over.

Dull, hopeless, and lifeless — like a withered flower waiting to die.

Until Lin Wangshu appeared, and for the first time, gave him a reason to live.

From then on, a man who had long been trapped in hell began to dream of brushing the hem of a princess’s gown.

For her, he was willing to let go of the past and learn to forgive.

For her, the battle-scarred wolf was willing to become a gentle cat.

After enduring half a lifetime of suffering, he finally welcomed his moon.

The first time Lin Wangshu met Jiang Congxian was at her uncle’s birthday banquet.

He was elegant and composed, carrying a grace of his own.

Despite his status, he treated everyone the same — always with a soft, courteous smile.

But when the Lin family went bankrupt, she was forced to survive under his protection.

Night after night, he would coldly remind her:

“Know your place. Don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you.”

Jiang Congxian never worried that this clawless kitten would escape his grasp —

Until one night, he saw Lin Wangshu stepping out of a black Benz, a man gently draping a coat over her shoulders.

For the first time, he panicked.

The high-and-mighty Jiang Congxian had become as lowly and desperate as an ant.

He pleaded:

“Lin Wangshu… even if you just keep me around like a stray dog — please don’t leave me.”
