When Wang He Di leaves the small village he grew up in, to find work in the streets of glamourous and dangerous Shanghai, the first thing that catches his eye is the beautiful Shen Yue, a young woman also trying to make her fortunes in the "Paris of the East." The year is 1928 and both are barely adults when they fall in love with each other, embarking on a journey spanning decades that will see them traverse the terrains of Sichuan and Hunan, and live in the colonial ports of British Hong Kong and Portuguese Macau. Through the peaceful times and through the imminent and eventually immediate danger that is the Japanese Imperial Army, their love for each other stands the test of time.
"Under the Moon" is the story of what it looks like, to walk this life with someone who is a true partner, a partner who is ready to face and overcome any dangers that threaten the love they cherish so deeply. It is a rollar coaster ride across the emotional spectrum, exploring the human condition in its many forms, from the subtle but deadly power of conversation, to the unapologetic bluntness of action.

Dylan may be our sun and Yue our moon, but they are also our stars who shine brilliantly.
Eight years ago, Dylan and Yue serendipitously entered each other's lives. They knew they loved each other dearly from the beginning but it took a few years for both of them to finally realize and admit that what they really needed was each other.
Despite needing to hide it from everyone, it was three years of bliss for them with both blooming into the most sought after stars of their generation.
But along with their rise to stardom came the added pressure, the jealousy, the distance and all the complications of a secret long distance relationship for a young couple. It all happened slowly and suddenly and somewhere along the road they both gave in. Hurtful words were exchanged, some too deep to recover from. She moved to Shanghai right after and he hasn't seen her since.
It has been a year and a half since they last spoke to each other, a year and a half since Dylan felt like he lost part of himself. All was seemingly lost.
But the universe has some other plans for these two stars.
So maybe, just maybe, they might shine bright enough to find their way back to each other. 💛 💜
