After Faking My Death, I Became the Bigshot’s Black Moonlight

Synopsis:

18-year-old Yun Ran was the tragic white moonlight (unattainable first love) of a paranoid bigshot in a novel. To survive, she took on a mission to "redeem" the male lead and then fake her death.

But after successfully faking her death, the system suddenly informed her: she redeemed the wrong person.

Now, she has abruptly become 26 years old, with a new body and a new identity. Sitting across from her is a gloomy, aloof man consulting for psychological issues.

The man lounged carelessly on the sofa—handsome, calm in expression, but with eyes full of scrutiny, fixed straight on her.

Unlucky soul Yun Ran wiped cold sweat from her temple: “…”

That was Jiang Yue, her childhood friend—and the real target she was meant to redeem.

Yun Ran: This is absurd :)

What’s even more absurd is that the unscrupulous system started acting up again, forcing Yun Ran to shuttle back and forth between ages 18 and 26.

One second, she’s trapped in the arms of the adult, brooding version of Jiang Yue, unable to move. His eyes are deep and unreadable as he gently rubs her fingertips, his voice like a ghost’s whisper:

“Yun Ran, you lied to me again.”

The next second, Yun Ran is standing outside a high school. The teenage Jiang Yue strides toward her through the curtain of rain, awkwardly tilting his umbrella toward her as the tips of his ears turn red:

“What are you staring at? Let’s go home.”

System: “Host, thrilling enough for you?”

Yun Ran: “…”

Thanks, even a rollercoaster isn’t this thrilling.

In Jiang Yue’s bleak and lonely youth, Yun Ran was the only sliver of light that pierced his endless night.

But her gaze never fell on him. She disappeared like the wind at age eighteen, leaving only regret.

Eight years later, Jiang Yue had become a rising star in the business world, numbing himself with endless work and plagued by insomnia—until his assistant handed him a profile of a new psychological consultant.

The girl in the photo was smiling sweetly. It was her.

His grip tightened on the file. The idea of someone coming back from the dead was far too bizarre.

But whether she was human or ghost didn’t matter. If it really was her, then this time, he would cling to this light and never let go—even in death.

From now on, her gaze would belong to him alone.

Not long after, some employees accidentally witnessed a horrifying scene after work:

Their cold-faced, world-weary boss briskly walked up to a car. The window rolled down, revealing a lively, pretty girl who said something to him.

Soon, the boss got into the passenger seat and left with her.

In just five minutes, the employees were utterly shaken.

“???”

Was that man—the one practically wagging his tail with joy—really their gloomy, foul-tempered boss?

They must be going insane! Sob!
