Arctic Stars in Downtown (Midnight Dreams #1)

"The stars in night skies we look at, the cozy air we breathe in-and the love we used to share. It's all written in the sky. And, the midnight dreams we wrote in downtown."

Being the eldest daughter in a typical Asian dysfunctional humble family, Sadie Ariana Aguas has been shouldering the pressure to be successful and rich since the day she can remember. It's hard to be the eldest daughter, acting a mother to all her siblings, and a therapist to her narcissistic mother, and emotionally absent father. She's barely living up to all the high expectations. One day, Sadie found herself wanting to disappear, wanting to leave and live her life up-wanting to run away from everyone.

But how can she run away from everyone when there's Brent Ignacius Sy. Uytengsu, the super rich, smart, only child in a prestigious Filipino-Chinese family, a gentleman, and a literal prince charming who came up to save her and drove her in downtown to make her feel at ease? Running to a place at night, begging the stars in the sky to give her another chance and live up to be the girl she has always wanted to be.

To be loved genuinely and consistently.

But the man she was with was too good to be true for her-and the Great Wall that bounds to separate them together...

He was everything she wanted. But he was also everything she can never attain.

He was like a star-very out of her league.
