Zhong Yi saw Zhou Shiyi again at the afterparty of an art exhibition.... more>>

Everything felt like a lifetime ago. He was distant, refined, and elegant—his mere presence stirring a wave of commotion, surrounded instantly like stars orbiting a moon.

She noticed him.

He didn’t see her.

A coworker clung to her arm and whispered excitedly,

“That’s Zhou Shiyi.”

Zhou Shiyi—fourth son of the Zhou family.

A man known for his aloofness and emotional detachment.

Zhong Yi simply offered a polite smile and said nothing.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with Zhou Shiyi.

They had once been lovers.

Back then, his indulgence toward her had known no limits.

But since the breakup, they hadn’t spoken again.

And just last week, her father arranged a marriage for her.

The groom? <<less

Shen Tang decided to completely cut ties with Jiang Chengyu. She packed up all her belongings from his villa and took them with her.... more>>

Jiang Chengyu: “What’s this act about now?”

Shen Tang blew out the smoke from between his fingers. The smoke drifted in the air as she smiled lightly. “It’s not an act. I just want to end our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.”

Jiang Chengyu looked at her. “Then what kind of relationship do you want?”

While touching up her makeup in the mirror, Shen Tang replied, “A legal marriage. If one day you come begging me to marry you, I might consider it.”

Jiang Chengyu suddenly laughed. Beg her to marry him? Quite the attitude. He didn’t believe in marriage—he would never marry anyone.

________________________________________

When her friends heard Shen Tang had broken things off with Jiang Chengyu, they felt sorry for her. “It’s so hard to even know someone from Jiang Chengyu’s circle. And he treated you so well—how could you bear to let that go?”

Shen Tang didn’t respond. Precisely because it was so hard—like a mirage—she knew he would never give her marriage. So when she realized she had fallen for him and was sinking deeper, why tie herself up in a cocoon?

________________________________________

A year after their breakup, on her birthday, Shen Tang got a call from Jiang Chengyu.

Ever adaptable, Jiang Chengyu said, “Tangtang, marry me.”

Shen Tang replied, “Sure. Hold on. A lot of people are chasing after me these days. Let me check what number you are.” She deliberately paused for a few seconds. “Mr. Jiang, you're number 250. Remember your number—I'll notify you when it’s your turn.”

Three months after their marriage, Jian Hang and Qin Moling still slept in separate rooms. This marriage was decided by the Old Master of the Qin family, and Qin Moling had no feelings for her. ... more>>

In the eyes of outsiders, when Jian Hang who came from an ordinary family married into the Qin family, she was a sparrow who flew up a branch and became a phoenix. Many people were waiting to see her become a joke as the abandoned wife of a wealthy family. But Jian Hang indeed did not lose out on this marriage, and so she decided to live a good life together with Qin Moling.

That night, she took the initiative to find him and talked about a topic that was trending on the Internet.

Qin Moling only gave her a few perfunctory words.

Seeing that he had no interest, Jian Hang got up and went back to her bedroom. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Jian Hang didn’t open the door and said in a disinterested tone: “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Qin Moling: “The hot search you’re concerned about was the 22nd earlier, but now it has been promoted to the 2nd and tagged as ‘explosive’.”

Jian Hang: “…”

When the net finally closes, just as he intended, the Ji Corporation goes bankrupt.

Ji Xingyao wakes up from a dream-like illusion—turns out, Mu Jinpei had been seeking revenge on the Ji family all along. The love and marriage he gave her were all lies.

After the divorce, Ji Xingyao disappears without a trace. Mu Jinpei refuses to admit that the trap he set ended up ensnaring his own cold and ruthless heart.

His hatred for the Ji family was real, but so was his love for her.

Years later, Ji Xingyao receives a call from an unfamiliar number.

Mu Jinpei: “I know you’ll never come back. I won’t marry again in this lifetime, and you better not even think of remarrying.”

Ji Xingyao chuckled lightly: “You’re wrong. I will come back—just to show you what it means to live a life worse than death.”

Mu Jinpei (in a low voice): “Already felt it.”

Ji Xingyao: “Not enough yet.”

Luo Qi learned that her fiancé was cheating emotionally before receiving their marriage certificate, so she broke up with him decisively and called off the wedding.... more>>

Her now ex-fiancé was a rising star in the capital venture circle. In the eyes of her relatives, it’s impossible for her to find another man with better conditions than her ex-fiancé at her age. Even her fiancé felt the same way.

That night, Jiang Shenghe, the big boss of the Yuanwei group, suddenly asked her, “Luo Qi, do you want to try with me?”

Luo Qi looked at Jiang Shenghe in astonishment, tongue-tied.

The third son of the Jiang family stood at the top of the elite circle. She was completely different from him, and his so-called trying was nothing more than a whim to play tricks with her. She can’t afford it.

Luo Qi was thinking of finding a reason to reject him. Jiang Shenghe looked at her, and said again: “It’s not a whim, I’ve had you in my thoughts for seven years.”

This year was the seventh year she has been in his heart.

Luo Qi didn’t expect that when she was twenty-nine years old, she went crazy once, hiding the truth from everyone, and obtained a flash marriage certificate with her boss. He said: “The person you want to marry may not be me, but the person I want to marry has always been you . <<less

Fu Ji Chen discovers that the woman who has been living with him for months and bossing him around is none other than Yu Qing, the youngest daughter of his business rival, the Yu family.

Without hesitation, he personally orchestrates a dinner to expose her true identity.

Yu Qing never expected Fu Ji Chen to witness the entire catastrophic fallout as her cover is blown.

That night, she packs her belongings and moves out of his apartment.

Fu Ji Chen stares at her for a long time: “Apologize to me, and I’ll forgive you.”

Yu Qing smirks, “Shouldn’t it be you apologizing to me? Look what you did to my little disguise.”

Fu Ji Chen: “...”

He watches her play her manipulative games and personally drives her back to the Yu family home.

Six months later, Fu Ji Chen and Yu Qing get married.

Rumors spread in their social circle that Fu Ji Chen was forced into marriage due to an unexpected pregnancy. Friends come to persuade him, claiming Yu Qing deliberately concealed her identity to trap him with a child—a scheming woman not worth marrying.

Fu Ji Chen replies: “I was the one who apologized. I was the one who actively pursued her. And I’m the one who wanted a child to bind her to me.”

[2]

The first time Yu Qing met Fu Ji Chen was at a club tennis court, where she worked as a temporary coach. He tipped her generously.

Their next encounter was in the workplace—she as a small legal department employee, and he as the CEO.

After working late one night, a sudden downpour left her unable to hail a taxi. Fu Ji Chen offered her a ride. The road leading to her rental apartment was flooded, so they ended up at his place.

She decided to forget everything that happened that night.

Weeks later, they ran into each other at the company. Yu Qing greeted him casually: “President Fu.”

Fu Ji Chen looked at her, “And your name?”

“Yu Qing.”

Fu Ji Chen nodded.

Later, when Yu Qing leaned against him, she asked: “Did you really forget my name back then?”

Fu Ji Chen replied: “No, I didn’t forget. That night, you mumbled your name while half-asleep, and I thought you said ‘Xu Xing.’ I searched the entire company but couldn’t find anyone by that name.”

The female lead is a lawyer, aptly named, a stunningly beautiful woman who loves tennis.

It’s love at first sight, and deeper affection upon their second meeting.

【Case One】... more>>

“A new student has transferred to our class, named Qin Yu.”

“Today Qin Yu talked to me. He asked me where the homeroom teacher’s office is. I wish I could speak.”

“I got a new desk partner today, it’s Qin Yu. It’s one in the morning now, and I can’t sleep.”

“During the May Day holiday, I haven’t seen Qin Yu for three days… Pu Chen, what are you thinking? You’re a mute girl.”

Pu Chen never expected that her diary would be seen by her classmates.

The classroom suddenly quieted down, everyone silently gossiping. Pu Chen, with average grades and unable to speak, also secretly admired the academic overachiever and campus heartthrob Qin Yu. But Qin Yu already likes someone else.

At that moment, the notebook happened to reach Qin Yu’s hands.

Pu Chen lowered her head, feeling ashamed.

Qin Yu walked to Pu Chen’s desk, holding the notebook: “I liked you from the first day you transferred here. What about you?”

【Case Two】

She has a deaf and mute father, who, with his incomplete body, holds up a complete sky for her.

Her father is the most handsome man in her heart.

When she was sixteen, she met the carefree and uninhibited Qin Yu.

Later, in her heart, Qin Yu became as handsome as her father.

Ten years passed, he became even more mature and charming. What hasn’t changed is the indulgence he gives her, still like the initial state of love.

plumlizi's Synopsis:... more>>

FL’S POV:

Among the upper-class circle of Jiang City, rumors were flying that Wei Lai, after being dumped by her ex-boyfriend and seeing her dreams of marrying into wealth shattered, was now dating a tycoon from Beijing.

One day, Wei Lai was hastily called to attend a dinner. As the last person to enter the private room, she was taken aback to find her ex there. Being a minor character, she wasn’t considered important enough for the host to introduce everyone at the table to her.

During the dinner, her ex gave her a toast. “Congrats, I heard you’ve found a new love.”

Curious onlookers asked her about the new boyfriend. “Which tycoon from Beijing?”

Wei Lai didn’t know of any tycoons from Beijing whatsoever, and she didn’t know how the rumor came to be, so she casually just mentioned the name of a well-known unmarried tycoon she had heard of, “Zhou Sujin.”

Everyone at the table: “…….”

All eyes turned to the man in the main seat.

Confused, Wei Lai also followed their gaze, locking eyes with the man who exuded a mysterious and charismatic aura. Leaning back in his chair casually, noble and indifferent, he looked at her with a cold yet intriguing gaze.

Wei Lai wondered if she was really that unlucky. Could this man be a friend of Zhou Sujin?

The host of the dinner came back to his senses. Seeing that Zhou Sujin didn’t deny it, he smiled and congratulated him, “No wonder you suddenly came to Jiang City, it turns out you came to see your girlfriend.”

Zhou Sujin smiled. He, himself, didn’t even know when he had gotten a girlfriend.

The first thing Zhou Sujin said to Wei Lai was, “Since it’s all out in the open now, come sit next to me.”

Wei Lai: “…”

ML’S POV:

On his 30th birthday, he found himself thinking of Wei Lai amid the cheers of his friends urging him to make a wish.

Cold-blooded and heartless, that was how others described him. Only Wei Lai had ever called him a good person. It was only when she was using him that her words were so sweet. For the first time in his life, he made a birthday wish for a woman, hoping she would have all her desires fulfilled.

One night, the group chat with his childhood friends erupted with multiple mentions @ him: Someone was pretending to be you and wrote a love letter to Wei Lai, but the handwriting doesn’t look like yours.

Handwriting came second; nobody believed that the usually aloof Second Young Master of the Zhou family would lower himself like this.

Zhou Sujin replied, “No one is pretending. I wrote it.”

It was a love letter that he wrote stroke by stroke for Wei Lai.

If she wanted to use his power, he was willing to let her borrow it for a lifetime. <<less

At the age of twenty, because of a blood type mismatch, her parents discovered that she was not their biological child. Overnight, Xu Zhiyi’s world was turned upside down. After a paternity test, it was confirmed that she was the daughter of a wealthy tycoon.... more>>

As a result, she had more interactions with Jiang Sixun. He went from being her boss to becoming an older brother figure from a prestigious family. During a business trip, she learned that he had an engagement with someone else.

Seeing her lost in thought, Jiang Sixun asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Xu Zhiyi replied, “I’m thinking about what gift would be appropriate for your wedding.”

Jiang Sixun smiled and said that the engagement wasn’t real.

He was obviously a stern and domineering person, but he was remarkably patient and gentle with her.

One weekend, Xu Zhiyi invited Jiang Sixun to dinner to ask him for a favor. After spending several hours dressing up, she arrived at the meeting in her finest attire. When they met, Jiang Sixun asked, “What kind of favor requires us to meet in person?”

After a moment of internal struggle, Xu Zhiyi said, “I have my eye on a man. His family background is extraordinary, his abilities are impressive, he’s good-looking, and he has a high vision... He’s particularly hard to pursue. I’d like you to help me make an introduction.”

Jiang Sixun looked at her and asked, “Who are you interested in? I’ll bring him to you.”

Xu Zhiyi met his gaze and said, “There’s no need to bring him. He’s right in front of me.”

He was both her boss and the person she had liked for many years.

Jiang Sixun remained silent for a long time because his friend Qi Zhengchen also liked Xu Zhiyi, and Qi Zhengchen’s confession had been rejected by her. Since then, he had never had any feelings for Xu Zhiyi beyond those of a subordinate.

Jiang Sixun, the rebellious son of the Jiang family, was used to being single and free and was adamant about not getting married. One day, he suddenly announced in the family group chat that he was going to get a marriage certificate with Xu Zhiyi.

Mother: “Are you out of your mind? Qi Zhengchen likes Zhiyi, and you know it!”

Jiang Sixun: “I like her too. What should I do? <<less

Seven months after Shi Miao and Min Ting registered their marriage, they finally moved in together. At that time, the two still weren’t very familiar with each other.... more>>

Their colleagues were full of curiosity. Coming from an average family, how had she managed to marry into a prestigious family in Beijing’s elite circles? And how had she made Min Ting insist on marrying no one but her?

There was no such thing as “no one but her.” The marriage was merely a convenient arrangement, devoid of love.

Before the blind date that led to their engagement, the only interaction Shi Miao had ever had with Min Ting was years ago during a game of Truth or Dare, where she had kissed him on a dare.

But because so much time had passed, and they hadn’t known each other back then, he no longer remembered her.

Min Ting had only one criterion for his future spouse: she must not love him.

He didn’t have feelings to offer in return, and marriage, to him, was merely a way to placate his family.

Half a year after registering their marriage, they moved into their marital home. On the first night, he had a social engagement and returned home late.

Shi Miao had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room. She seemed to be dreaming about something sad. Normally so composed and cool-headed, she was quietly sobbing in her sleep.

Min Ting called her name softly, “Shi Miao.”

She didn’t wake, and tears clung to the corners of her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he pulled her into his arms and comforted her for a long time. <<less

Before their arranged marriage, Min Xizhi learned that Fu Yanzhou had feelings for someone else. He had secretly inquired about that woman’s well-being, showing a tender side she had never seen before. During their wedding, he asked, “Are you sure you want to marry?” Min Xizhi smiled and replied, “Why not?” He said, “Are you willing to confine yourself in a marriage devoid of emotions, only for the sake of benefits?” She didn’t want that, so she would make him fall in love with her and witness his tender side once again.... more>>

However, two years into their marriage, she still couldn’t make him like her. He remained cool and distant. Min Xizhi decided to end her obsession and absurdity towards Fu Yanzhou, presenting him with divorce papers.

Fu Yanzhou hesitated, but ultimately signed them. Concerned, he asked, “What are your plans now?” Min Xizhi didn’t reply aloud, thinking to herself, “From now on, I’ll no longer secretly love you and forget about you.”

After the divorce, Fu Yanzhou inexplicably couldn’t let go of Min Xizhi. He asked his secretary, “What has Xixi been up to lately?” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “How is she doing emotionally?” Secretary: “I heard she’s been going on blind dates.”

Fu Yanzhou fell silent.

A few weeks later, Min Xizhi confronted him, “Why did you ruin my blind dates?” Fu Yanzhou: “I’m sorry for what happened in the past.” He said in a low voice, “Xixi, would you like to start over with me?” Min Xizhi was momentarily stunned. “There’s no need. I’ve already moved on.”

Fu Yanzhou said, “It’s okay if you’ve moved on. I’ll keep you in my heart.”

In the eyes of others, she’s a proud and spoiled young lady, and the one thing Fu Yan Zhou dislikes the most is someone with a proud personality like hers. She was the one who proposed the arranged marriage, thinking that Fu Yan Zhou would refuse.

After marriage, she suggested sleeping with her head on his arm. Fu Yan Zhou disagreed, “You slept with my left arm last night, and it’s affecting my golf swing today.”

Min Xi said, “Then I’ll sleep on your right arm tonight.”

Fu Yan Zhou: “…” He pointed to the other side of the bed, “Sleep over there.”

Min Xi’s self-esteem was hurt, so she lay down with her back to him. Fu Yan Zhou sighed and pulled her back into his embrace, offering his arm for her to rest on.

After two years of marriage, Min Xi felt that she still couldn’t make Fu Yan Zhou fall in love with her; he only indulged her. She decided to end her years of infatuation with Fu Yan Zhou and handed him a divorce agreement.

Fu Yan Zhou hesitated for a long time, but eventually signed it and asked, “What are your plans now?”

Min Xi didn’t respond. But she thought to herself: I won’t secretly love you anymore; I’ll forget you.

After the divorce, Fu Yan Zhou couldn’t let go of Min Xi. One early morning, his secretary called him and nervously reported, “Min Xi has been busy with blind dates lately.” He thought he misheard, “Busy with what?”

Secretary: “Busy… with blind dates.”

When Min Xi was about to go on a blind date, Fu Yan Zhou intercepted her. She couldn’t believe that this man would actively pursue someone. He had flown back from another city in the middle of the night and appeared at her doorstep early in the morning. He looked at her and said, “Xi Xi, do you want to start over with me?”
