Synopsis of Shadows of the White Moonlight : In the dazzling city of Shanghai, where wealth and power collide, Lu Yan, the cold and aloof heir to the Lu Corporation, is forced into a contract marriage with Qin Lan, a woman from a modest background burdened by her family's financial struggles. For Lu Yan, the marriage is purely a business arrangement to secure his position as CEO, but for Qin Lan, it is a desperate act to save her ailing father. However, Qin Lan is walking into a marriage built on shadows. Lu Yan’s heart still belongs to his first love, Ji Yi, the glamorous and seemingly perfect woman who left him years ago to chase her own ambitions. To Lu Yan, no woman could ever replace Ji Yi—Qin Lan is merely a “substitute” bride to meet his family’s expectations. The emotional distance between them is palpable, with Lu Yan treating Qin Lan as nothing more than a tool for convenience. Yet as fate would have it, Ji Yi reappears in Lu Yan’s life, seeking to reclaim her place in his heart and his world. Her return stirs up old emotions in Lu Yan, throwing him into inner turmoil. Blinded by his lingering feelings for Ji Yi, Lu Yan continues to overlook the woman standing right beside him—Qin Lan, whose quiet resilience and unspoken love for him are beginning to grow stronger by the day. But Qin Lan isn’t a woman who easily succumbs to the pain of unrequited love. Determined to protect her dignity and keep her heart intact, she distances herself from Lu Yan, though her feelings for him grow deeper with each passing day. She knows she’s nothing but a substitute in his eyes, but she cannot stop her heart from yearning for him. As the story unfolds , readers are immersed in vivid and emotionally charged scenes that paint a picture of Shanghai’s elite society, filled with grand events, lavish business deals, and the tangled webs of love and betrayal. The novel explores Qin Lan’s quiet strength, as she navigates the coldness of her husband’s heart while slowly becoming indispensable to him in ways neither of them expected. When the truth about Ji Yi’s departure years ago comes to light—revealing her calculating motives and hidden betrayals—Lu Yan is faced with the painful realization that the perfect image of his "white moonlight" was nothing more than an illusion. It is only then that he begins to see Qin Lan for who she truly is: a woman of incredible strength, compassion, and quiet beauty who has stood by him without asking for anything in return. Torn between the shadow of his past and the warmth of his present, Lu Yan’s emotional journey is one of discovery, loss, and redemption. But will it be too late for him to win Qin Lan’s heart after treating her as a mere substitute for so long? As their marriage teeters on the edge of collapse, dramatic twists and heart-wrenching confrontations lead to a final, emotional showdown. In the end, it will take more than grand gestures to heal the wounds between them—Lu Yan must face his own insecurities, while Qin Lan must decide if she can trust her heart to a man who once made her feel invisible. Through elaborate flashbacks, richly detailed settings, and complex character development, Shadows of the White Moonlight tells the story of two people bound by a contract but separated by secrets, misunderstandings, and the ghost of first love. Will they find the courage to build a love that’s real, or will they be forever haunted by the shadows of the past? This novel will take readers on an emotional rollercoaster, packed with suspense, passion, betrayal, and, ultimately, a hard-earned love that transcends the shadows of “white moonlight.”
"Three million Audrey, I'll give you three million just pretend to be me for six months" I bit my lip when my partner said that. After a very long time, we met just now and this was his opening to me. I mean I was really tempted to accept because we must need the money for mom's immediate surgery but because 3M seems to be too small for the size of the favor she is asking for. “Only 3M? With the size of the favor you ask for, that's all you'll give in exchange for everything, no deal, after 8 long years when you didn't show us mom, you're coming here just to offer me something like that? Did you think that what you are asking for is easy? And one more thing, where did you get the courage and confidence to think that I will accept your offer, right?" My long litany made him suffer. No matter what, he was so damned that he thought he could pass me his money. "Oh please, my dearest sister, I know you must need 3M, so don't act like that and just accept yourself because you won't be able to operate on your mother" Look at the shamelessness of this woman if she can speak you would think she is not Mama's daughter the pain is really bad with this witch's bangs why did she have to give birth to me looking like her my gosh. "I'm going to repeat it because you don't seem to have heard, I said NO. DEAL. it's not easy what you're doing and I'm a loss on your three million so just find another girl who looks like you to pretend to be you" I will stress because I know he won't stop me. "Fine name your price if I increase the offer will you do it? And I will only be gone for another 6 months, you are very choosy and all you have to do is to pretend and don't let anyone know that they are dealing with you and not me" I washed my own face because of what he said. He really knows my weakness. But it's risky because the favor he's asking for is hard because it's hard to be plastic like him, another thing is if I accept it there's no turning back and I don't want to be ruined because of his nonsense. But if I don't, the chance of survival of our mother, who is in the hospital now and sick because every minute that passes and she is not operated on, will decrease, the chance of her survival will also decrease. That's why I just held my breath because of that thought and since I have no other choice, I'll just do what Andrea wants. “Fine 20M I will do whatever you ask me to do in six months” "20 million? You gotta be kidding me, it's only a six-month agreement, isn't it, and then you're demanding 20M" How can I tweak it so I'm still the demanding one, he's the one who needs it. "Demanding? Can you even hear what you're saying? It's not easy what you're asking for, you g*ga, I'll get married for you and you still can't give me 20M? What if something bad happens to me because you marry someone we don't even know? What about Nisha and mom then? So if you can't do it, just find someone else" After saying that, I'm about to leave, this conversation is going nowhere because we're going to argue and fight here if I stay here for too long, it's better if I just leave and find a foundation that can help us and I'm wasting my time I to him. “WAIT! Go ahead and call for 20 million but I can only give you 10 million right now when I return half of it just please be my substitute for 6 months" "Deal happy cooperation sis" I know all this will not be easy but for mom and Nisha I will do everything. Even playing with the devil. I am Audrey Del Rio and this is the story of how my simple and orderly life became chaotic because of my twin...
"This isn't right..." He seems to find her words nonsense, the fire has been set and she's suddenly saying it's wrong? He didn't listen and just positioned himself above her "now I'm above you..." "ugh!" she screamed as he next started to fire the flames inside her which gave her pleasurable pain that left her nothing but be lost once again...and accept the fact that... "You're still married to me and you're forever mine..." NOTE: 5 CHAPTERS RELEASE EVERY WEEKDAYS, more chapters when MORE READERS and VOTES are achieved!
