The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 1 Surprise

Nancheng, a bustling and prosperous metropolis. Here, people of all kinds come together. Some are intoxicated by the extravagance and gradually lose themselves; while others always hold fast to their original aspirations.

Xie Shiyun is such a special case. As a third-rate online writer, she uses the pen name "Yiduijue" and focuses on writing modern romance novels, which are loved by many readers and even praised by fans as the "Queen of Modern Romance Novels".

At this moment, Xie Shiyun was sitting alone in her small apartment room, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard, completely immersed in the world of words. She wore thick glasses, and her hair was slightly messy, but she seemed unconcerned, with only one thought in her mind—to perfectly present the story in her mind onto the page.

This talented female writer is a true homebody. Because she's so engrossed in writing, she has almost no time or energy for romance. She wore a cute cartoon T-shirt and snow-white capri pants, with a few strands of her slightly wavy long hair casually draped behind her head. Her clear, bright eyes were captivating, her small, straight nose was exquisitely delicate, and her lips were small and red like cherries. Overall, although Xie Jue was somewhat unkempt, her appearance could still be considered above average.

At this very moment, however, she was completely focused, striking the perfectly positioned keyboard before her with powerful, rhythmic strokes, as if each keystroke was a fierce battle with the words. And in this tense and exciting atmosphere, an unexpected scene unfolded—she suddenly pursed her lips, secretly grinned, and murmured to herself, "The male lead slowly approached the female lead's lips, and finally…"

Just as she was immersed in the romantic scene she had created, a sudden shout interrupted her thoughts: "Xie Shiyun! Are you done yet? I've been waiting for you for ages!" The voice was like a thunderclap, pulling her back to reality from her fantasy.

Outside the door, a loud and clear voice echoed—it was Xie Shiyun's best friend, Jiang Yun! She stood there, her long, jet-black, lustrous, and silky hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall; she wore a fresh and elegant daisy-patterned dress, as beautiful and delicate as a flower blooming in spring. Her slightly tanned skin exuded a unique charm, appearing exceptionally healthy and vibrant; her slightly flushed cheeks were like those of a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.

Jiang Yun was panting heavily, almost out of breath. She was clearly exhausted, but her eyes shone with excitement and eagerness. The bond between these two best friends was extraordinary; they had known each other since childhood, grown up together, and shared countless wonderful memories and funny stories. You could say they were two lovable oddballs who had met; their combination was nothing short of a farce, full of endless joy and hilarious antics.

"You're here! You're here!" She frowned, looking at the other person with disgust. "Sister, can you please stop being so dramatic? I know I was wrong, I really shouldn't have stood you up, sob sob... I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again." She looked at the other person with her big, watery eyes, appearing completely innocent and conveying a very sincere apology and remorse.

Faced with such a cute and sincere expression, she could only helplessly rub her forehead and sigh, "Oh dear, my little darling, I really have no way to deal with you. I'm going to be late for class, so hurry up and get ready to leave, otherwise I'll get scolded by the teacher again."

Just then, Xie Shiyun swiftly tidied her belongings. She wore a loose, comfortable white shirt and jeans that perfectly accentuated her figure, creating a simple yet refreshing and pleasant look.

Then, she gazed quietly at the scenery outside the car window, her mind beginning to recall the past events she had experienced...

The college they attended was the Nancheng City School of Finance and Business, which felt like a prison to Xie Shiyun. She disliked this major intensely; she had been forced there by her family. Here, she had to study subjects she had no interest in and deal with people she loathed. However, she harbored a pure land within her heart dedicated to literature. She loved literature, enjoyed expressing her emotions through words, and dreamed of becoming an online author, creating a novel that would shake the world. This dream, like the brightest star in the night sky, had always illuminated her path. From childhood to adulthood, she had steadfastly pursued her goal, never wavering in her convictions. Once she decided to do something, she would do it without hesitation.

Because her ideas were sometimes unconventional, she was often ostracized and disliked. Later, her old online novels were dug up and called garbage, making her life at the academy even more difficult.

On her way home, she was surrounded by girls. "Hey, isn't this our college's online novel prodigy? Why do you look so unhappy? Did we overpraise you today? Great writer, hahaha!" The people around her laughed unrestrainedly, mocking her for overestimating herself.

"This is the School of Finance, not some literary city. It's not a place for someone like you to flaunt your literary talent and show off your so-called 'talent'! If you know what's good for you, you'd better keep a low profile and stop thinking about showing off all the time! Our school's only talented woman is Yu Rong. As for you... ha, you're just a nobody with no connections!" Hearing such harsh words, how could she possibly swallow her anger? Instantly, she was enraged, her beautiful eyes fixed on the woman in front of her who was rambling on and on.

"Hey! I'm telling you, you sharp-tongued lady, can you please use your brain before you speak in the future? You know, a brain is a good thing, but unfortunately, with your IQ, you probably don't deserve to have it at all!" she retorted without backing down.

"You!" The girl's eyes reddened, and she grabbed her hair and yanked it hard. Everyone around gathered to watch, but no one stepped forward to stop her. Later, she chose to drop out of school and never came back to the academy.

It wasn't until today that Jiang Yun came to call her to go to the academy to complete the procedures. "Yu Rong is just like that. No matter how many times you tell her, she won't change. She's just a princess!"

Xie Shiyun remained silent, closed her eyes, and leaned back for a while.

As they emerged from the academy, sunlight streamed down their faces, casting long shadows. They strolled side-by-side along the bustling streets, seemingly detached from the noisy world around them.

"Shi Yun, what are your plans for the future?" She suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her with unwavering eyes, asking softly, "Do you know that your current situation is worrying? If your parents were still alive, they would be very sad to see you like this."

Xie Shiyun stood quietly, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, she took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Actually, I've always understood my parents' expectations. They want me to study finance because they hope I can live a wealthy and comfortable life in the future, without having to experience too much hardship. But is that really what I want?"

She paused, then continued, "From a young age, a voice deep within me has told me to pursue what I truly love. Even if the path is full of hardships and difficulties, only then can I find true joy and fulfillment. Perhaps they are watching me from above now, unable to understand me, but one day, when I achieve success, they will understand and acknowledge my choice."

Jiang Jun listened silently, her eyes shining with admiration and encouragement. She nodded gently, indicating that she would always support A-Jue's decision. "No matter what you do, I will be by your side, facing all challenges with you. Trust your intuition and bravely pursue your dreams!"

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling their hair and dispelling a trace of gloom from their hearts. A-Jue glanced gratefully at Jiang Yun, and the two smiled at each other before continuing forward, their steps becoming even more firm and powerful.

She dragged her weary body and slowly pushed open the door, as if the heavy burden on her shoulders had instantly vanished. She gently removed her constraints, changed into loose and comfortable clothes, and then walked with light steps to the familiar swivel chair and sat down.

She skillfully pressed the computer power button, and as the machine started up, she put on her own special glasses. Her desk was covered with various snacks, her best companions during her long writing sessions.

Everything was ready. She took a deep breath, preparing to continue the chapter that had been interrupted that morning. Her fingers lightly tapped the keyboard, and words flowed from her fingertips like water: "The male lead doted on her rotten; she was the happiest woman in the world…and then…"

Just as her inspiration was flowing, a sudden ringtone sounded. She frowned slightly, cursing inwardly. Unexpected things always seemed to happen at these crucial moments; could it really just be a coincidence?

She impatiently grabbed her phone, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse at the caller, but froze when she saw the name on the screen. Her anger vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and confusion.

"Hello Ms. Xie, I am Lin An, the editor-in-chief of Nancheng Xinyang Publishing House. We saw your article in the newspaper and felt that you perfectly fit our editing requirements. We would like to ask if you would be willing to come and be our editor. Don't worry, the salary is around eight or nine thousand. What do you think?"

She was stunned by the sudden news, her mind blank, completely unable to comprehend what was happening. Xinyang? That renowned publishing house? It was the cradle that had nurtured countless outstanding editors! My God, how could she be so lucky? Had she really just stumbled upon a stroke of pure luck?

However, amidst the joy, a sliver of doubt crept into her mind. Could this be a scam? After all, there are so many scammers in society these days; one has to be careful. She hesitantly picked up the phone, her voice slightly trembling: "Um… I am indeed a little worried…"

The other party seemed to sense her concerns and quickly reassured her, "I understand your worries; there are indeed many scammers these days. However, the fact that you didn't agree immediately shows that you are a cautious person, which I appreciate. How about this, you can add me on WeChat so we can communicate further. My phone number is also my WeChat ID; after you add me, we can stay in touch anytime via mobile phone."

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately checked his WeChat Moments and found that the place he was posting on was indeed Xinyang Publishing House—it was real! Her dream was about to come true!

She then edited the message and sent it: "Hello, I just contacted you. Is it really possible for me to work at Xinyang Publishing House?"

A dozen minutes later, my phone rang. "Bring your best work tomorrow," the person on the other end said, followed by a smiling emoji.

She pinched her cheek; it hurt, it really hurt, this wasn't a dream!

She couldn't believe that one day she would be working at the renowned Xinyang Editorial Office; her good days were about to begin.

The ordeal is finally coming to an end...
