[A rose in the darkness will eventually bloom at dawn~]

In her past life, Liu Yutong was a lawyer. After being reborn, she was mistakenly identified as the daughter of a mafia boss.

Her subordinates were all ex-cons and street thugs, dead set on making it big in the underworld.

To avoid being dragged into their shady dealings and getting swept up in a crime crackdown, she resolved to lead them onto the straight and narrow—educating them on the law and guiding them toward the light.

In the end, she succeeded, molding them into law-abiding, legally savvy members of society.

But something still felt... off.

Years later, at the company’s annual meeting.

Liu Yutong looked out at the sea of employees in black suits, standing like a mafia entourage, all bowing respectfully and chanting, "Young Miss!"

Her heart skipped a beat.

"...Did we really go legit?"

Due to an accident, Lin Yuxi married the person she had secretly loved for many years. ... more>>

Even though he had many misunderstandings about her, she remained optimistic and held steadfast to her marriage.

Unfortunately, love cannot be waited for.

For seven whole years, what Lin Yuxi waited for was the appearance of another woman, as well as Fu Tingchuan's excessive indifference and hurt.

At that moment, she finally gave up. Throwing down the divorce agreement and leaving with her son, in just one year, Lin Yuxi earned over a hundred million in assets.

One day, Fu Tingchuan looked at the report his subordinate sent, his wife was a big shot in the industry, and his son was a popular child model, he was filled with regret.

"Lin Yuxi, this time it's my turn to wait for you." <<less

"I'm planning to file a paternity lawsuit."... more>>

The client who appeared before family law attorney Mael, Yves Valois.

An arrogant and rude billionaire, exuding the typical ennui of the wealthy.

"Why did you specifically request me?"

"Because I thought you'd be suitable. Professionally and personally."

A man who proposes a fake relationship, dangling rewards like the whispers of a devil.

His cold eyes held nothing within.

Mael didn’t want to get entangled with this man in any way.

However.

"Brother, I... I think I killed... Philippe."

To protect her younger sister, Mael takes Yves’ hand.

A fall always happens in an instant.

"What do I need to do? Be the lover you mentioned before?"

"That chance has passed. Now, you’ll have to become my family."

Marriage.

A pile of lies built on a foundation completely devoid of affection.

"The term is until the paternity lawsuit is over and I get acknowledged. Two years."

The result of all of that was this marriage.

Whether it was fortune or misfortune, no one could know.

"Ennui" is a French word adopted into English, meaning a feeling of listlessness, boredom, or dissatisfaction that comes from a lack of excitement or purpose. It's often associated with a sense of weary indifference, especially among those who are wealthy or privileged and lack meaningful challenges in life. <<less

Even when the hotel room door was accidentally opened by the female lead, Su Wanxing, Shi Ning stayed composed.

But then, she realized this person... was actually the female lead's older sister, Su Tianxue.

The only genuinely straight Alpha in the original book.

Shi Ning thought, "Forget about it," but then Su Tianxue, with reddened eyes, said in an icy tone, "Is that all you've got as an Alpha? How about we switch positions?"

...Damn, who are you looking down on?!

She initially only wanted to tease this pure, aloof, ice-cold beauty, but how did this person manage to break all her principles and settle in her heart, refusing to leave?! <<less

July 11th, 1937, Shanghai. Apartment 699. At precisely 10 PM, Sheng Qingrang, a renowned lawyer, returns home from an academic discussion. The hallway light abruptly goes out.... more>>

July 11th, 2015. The same apartment. At precisely 10 PM, Zong Ying, a modern-day forensic doctor, returns home from a crime scene. The hallway light flickers.

Two time-spaces converge through this shared moment of light and shadow.

Sheng Qingrang is refined, gentle, and traditionally principled, with an inner strength that emanates tranquility.

Zong Ying is calm, decisive, and sharp in her work, possessing an almost unwavering determination.

Their first encounter: he is her "Mr. No Rush," sheltering her with a black folding umbrella as he escorts her to the hospital. Their reunion: he is a tenant from another time, holding a rental agreement dated 1937.

Time and space intertwine as they meet in the quiet of the night. Their love, born in separate worlds, transcends the boundaries of time and space. Once kindled, it burns eternally. <<less

Bian Ji had flown for nearly ten thousand hours, progressing from a cabin attendant to a regional chief steward, but unfortunately, in his tenth year of his career, he encountered an aviation accident.... more>>

Fortunately, there was a scare but no real danger, and he survived the ordeal.

After comforting the passengers and disembarking, Bian Ji sought out a man, partly to thank him for assisting in the rescue, and partly hoping to compensate him for the shirt he had just ruined—perhaps with a bit of personal interest, skillfully concealed.

The man pointed at his watch, saying "I'm in a hurry, next time," and hurriedly left.

Bian Ji knew this meant a polite refusal, not wanting to embarrass himself, he directly retreated in the face of difficulty.

However, a month later, that person actually appeared again.

Yan Ankuo was even wearing the damaged shirt from last time, as he passed by Bian Ji, seemingly casually asking, "Now, does the compensation still count?"

*

Yan Ankuo x Bian Ji, lawyer (34) x flight attendant (32), adults testing and adjusting to each other.

One has a somewhat strong desire for control and is very adept at playing games, while the other is outwardly warm but inwardly cool, deftly handling situations as they arise.

Career, manly gay couple, HE, older partner, push and pull, mutual pursuit. <<less

Yao Yao was born as a little glutton, her appetite rivaling half a mountain.... more>>

One day, the old Taoist who adopted her passed away in meditation. At just three and a half years old, Yao Yao had no choice but to pack her small bag and head down the mountain to find her senior master.

By chance, she ended up saving a wealthy tycoon from a car accident and became the adopted daughter of the prestigious Gu family.

At first, everyone in the Gu family opposed the idea.

The Gu family matriarch tapped her cane and said, “Raising someone else’s child? Careful not to end up with an ingrate!”

The Gu family head, Gu Xuesong, said indifferently, “Picked up halfway? Who knows what kind of trouble she might bring.”

From the eldest to the seventh brother, their response was unanimous: “We don’t want a sister!”

But this little girl, rejected by the entire family, proved herself after joining the Gu household.

She resolved the business partner issues that even Gu Xuesong couldn’t handle, bringing in so many contracts that they couldn’t sign them all.

She cured the Gu matriarch’s chronic leg pain, to the point where the old lady was now striding around effortlessly…

Even the seven Gu brothers, one after another, benefited greatly from her presence.

It was only then that the Gu family realized they had brought home a treasure.

From then on, the Gu family’s attitude completely changed.

The Gu matriarch: “Yao Yao, do you want some cream puffs? Grandma will buy them for you.”

Gu Xuesong: “Yao Yao, do you want a private jet? Daddy will have one sent over to take you for a ride.”

The Gu brothers: “Yao Yao, do you want…”

And so, Yao Yao secured herself a meal ticket—one of the highest quality! <<less

Cheng Yue absolutely hated the man who suddenly appeared to adopt him.

But out of necessity, he had to live under someone else’s roof with his tail between his legs.

He even had to agree to three rules:

No swearing.

Fine. He could hold it in.

No going to nightclubs.

That works. He didn’t have any money anyway.

No dating girls.

Sure. He didn’t like girls anyway.

He tolerated all of this.

What Cheng Yue didn’t expect was that the man, who always wore a cold expression, was actually a weirdo.

“This pink dress is for you,” the man said, maintaining his cold demeanor.

“……”

“I don’t like…” Cheng Yue hadn’t finished his sentence.

“Don’t like this color?” The man furrowed his brows and pulled out another one from behind him.

“How about this white lace one?”

Cheng Yue: cries in frustration <<less

Jiang Ying, a rookie lawyer, unexpectedly runs into her old school crush Meng Jingshu at a dinner party.... more>>

Back then, Meng Jingshu had been lukewarm toward her and even ended up dating the girl Jiang Ying disliked the most during college.

Now, years later, fueled by frustration and a tinge of revenge — and right in front of her cheating ex — Jiang Ying leans in and kisses Meng Jingshu.

What she didn’t expect… was that he’d get attached afterward.

As misunderstandings from the past slowly unravel, a completely different version of the truth begins to surface.

“You know, I don’t regret that we didn’t get together earlier.

You weren’t good enough back then — so you didn’t deserve me.”

“And now?”

“Now? You’ve already got me.”

📍 Senior Year — Jiang Ying’s long-time crush starts dating her nemesis. Her “white moonlight” instantly turns into leftover rice.

📍 Years later — a heated kiss in front of her ex, a drunken one-night stand with her former crush, and boom — she’s slept with her white moonlight and cuckolded her old rival. Feels good.

📍 “Meng Jingshu,” Jiang Ying said, her voice quiet but firm. “If I don’t say anything, do you really lack all self-awareness?”

From across the restaurant table, she tilted her chin.

“Put the cigarette down.”

Very few people dared speak to him like that.

Meng Jingshu l**ked his teeth, but obeyed.

📍 “If I don’t get this man, the stars won’t turn, the constellations won’t move — the entire world’s off balance!”

Before he met Bai Xizhou, Wen Ruqing always thought he didn't have many friends.... more>>

He had dedicated more than twenty years to his profession, but in reality, he had achieved little in his career, and his personal life was a mess.

He cherished that friendship.

Even though they sometimes stayed together, slept in the same bed, picked each other up from work, remembered each other's preferences, and were always the first to show up when needed.

By chance, Chen Yu ends up going on a blind date with Lawyer Meng from the law firm upstairs.... more>>

Lawyer Meng is handsome, highly educated, has a respectable job, a stable income, no bad habits, and comes from a harmonious family. He’s the most sought-after type in the matchmaking scene—so perfect, he doesn’t even seem like someone from the same world.

Chen Yu crafts latte art by day and mixes c*cktails by night, constantly running between a café and a bar. After coming out a few years ago, he nearly cut ties with his family. He also has a face that, according to some, doesn’t look like someone meant for a stable life.

Chen Yu thinks someone like that probably wouldn’t be interested in him. And after a few meetings, Lawyer Meng does seem rather distant.
