Cen Feng had committed su*cide at home because of depression. It was only after his death that the injustices he had suffered had been revealed to the public.

It turned out that he was an adopted orphan, and his biological father was actually a mu*derer.

It turned out that the reason he never touched the piano again was that his little finger was intentionally trampled by his teammates.

It turned out that the team was harassing him, and he offended a higher-up company, resulting in resources being divided.

It turned out that the treasure, which she had been so afraid to hold on to her palm in fear of breaking it, had been trampled on, had been beaten black and blue…

Six months later, Xu Zhaixing died in a car accident, only to be reborn as a high school student. She was just a freshman that year.

Shen Xuanqing also bought him chickens and ducklings, and built a fence in the backyard to raise chickens and ducks for him. Lu Gu squatted in the backyard and touched the chickens and ducks. After the panic, he was full of joy. Shen Xuanqing said that these were all his.

For the first time, Shen Xuanqing, who was about to go out was stopped by Lu Gu timidly, holding the corner of his clothes. He saw his little fulang showing a short and shy smile, handing over a small bag of fine flour cakes, saying that it was the food for him who was going into the mountains.

Shen Xuanqing was nibbling on the cakes expressionlessly in the mountains, but in his heart he was thinking that the little fulang was good and diligent. He looked good when he smiled, but he was too thin. <<less

I did not want to give up this good family, so I cut ties with the main characters. I spent a hectic time driving out my bastard brother, taking over as heir after him, and developing the top of my family business.

"It's ridiculous that you don't adore me anymore."

Crown Prince Rexed fueled my reputation as his stalker.

"That's interesting, I want to experiment on you."

Doesn't the magic tower lord Icarus show dangerous desires?

Above all, the strangest thing is Duke Calix, the main male protagonist of the original work.

"I was waiting for you to come to visit me."

"What? I beg your pardon?"

"Now you're finally looking at me."

Why are you looking at me like a puppy waiting for its owner?

It seemed like something was going terribly wrong. Why are the male leads from the original hanging around me? <<less

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

Hae-in, who has been taking care of her sick younger sibling, receives an offer to become the daughter-in-law of the Taesung Group.

The only requirement for this position, which disregards one’s background or origins, is to marry Park Joo-hyun, the eldest grandson of Taesung Group’s Chairman Park, and conceive a child.

This obsession with descendants stems from Chairman Park having lost several close family members.

Cornered by her circumstances, Hae-in reluctantly accepts the proposal but faces fierce opposition from Joo-hyun, her future husband and senior at the same university.

“Do you even know how many people have died in this house?”

Joo-hyun’s hazel eyes darkened. They now gazed at Hae-in with an expression far more precarious than before.

People say that time dulls the pain, but it was clear that whatever he had buried deep within his heart hadn’t healed in the slightest.

“…Whether you want it or not, we’re… going to be married now… so as fellow sufferers…”

Before Hae-in could finish her trembling words, Joo-hyun tightened his grip on her chin, making it hard for her to breathe.

“…You’ve made up your mind, haven’t you?”

Joo-hyun spoke as he stared into Hae-in’s calm, sunken eyes.

“In that case, let’s see how long you can last.”

As his rough hand grabbed hold of her, Hae-in bit down on her lip. <<less

Zan Ying was born to be the Crown Prince's promised princess consort, designated by her father's will. She grew up in the palace, beautiful and well-behaved, and she relied completely on the Crown Prince, believing he was her lifelong destiny.... more>>

Until at her coming-of-age banquet, she discovered that the Crown Prince had always harbored a hidden love for someone else. Her trusted elder brother turned out to be the real brother of this hidden love, and her respected grandmother and uncle, who was a prime minister, all advised her to be magnanimous:

“After all, the girl’s father sacrificed himself for the country, and she is the daughter of a meritorious official…”

Even the emperor and empress, who had always treated her like their own daughter, mocked her for being petty:

“You will be the Crown Princess in the future, and she will only be a concubine at most. How can you not understand the bigger picture?”

Even when both were trapped in a fire, with the emperor and empress caring about the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince caring about the hidden love, and the elder brother caring about his sister, no one remembered that Zan Ying was still trapped under the collapsed beams.

Given a second chance, Zan Ying finally understood that those she thought were closest to her were only near her for the sake of the immense fortune her mother had left behind.

In her first act of rebellion, she stood alone, trembling, and publicly announced her desire to break off the engagement with the Crown Prince.

Initially, the Crown Prince thought she was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually come back to apologize. But while waiting, he saw the once-imposing Grand Marshal humbly helping the young girl with her muddy skirt. At that moment, the Crown Prince was consumed by jealousy.

A whole palace was left vacant. The once-familiar pastries, soups, and greetings were no more, and the emperor and empress began to feel disoriented.

Then came the elder brother, the prime minister, the previous and current dynasties, and the inner palace... <<less

“What flower is this?”

“That’s a marigold. There are several varieties, but what you’re looking at is a calendula.”

Even though he seemed unfamiliar with flowers at a glance, he showed interest in the flower language of calendula marigold, which had a negative meaning.

“It’s supposed to hurt someone, not excitement.”

The man who bought the marigold bouquet touched upon a painful memory that he had momentarily set aside. Jhi Yeonwoo thought it was just a passing encounter, but the man appeared in front of him again after a few hours.

Although he takes after his father, Chairman Choi’s cold side, he also harbors unexpectedly warm traits. His mundane daily life was unexpectedly disrupted when he met Jhi Yeonwoo on the street, dragged along like a reluctant journey by a flower that caught his eye.

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cuisine that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.

Tang Bai found out in horror: Why are the protagonist gong and shou fighting because of me?!

Tang Bai: Oh! They must have a love and hate relationship! <<less
