Back in high school, the second bravest thing Zhou Anran ever did was, on a day when Chen Luobai looked upset, she secretly placed two lemonsoda candies on his desk.... more>>

At that time, he was the proud son of heaven sought by everyone.

She was just an ordinary classmate whose name he couldn’t even remember.

Later, they met again in university. Zhou Anran who had to fight for her life to get into the top university, remained as inconspicuous as ever in a sea of academic prodigies, while Chen Luobai instantly became the centre of attention the moment he entered the school.

Zhou Anran thought they would never cross paths again. But, one time in an elective course, Chen Luobai placed two pieces of the familiar lemonsoda candies on her desk.

“Have you tried this candy?”He seemed to ask casually.

Zhou Anran’s heart jumped, she lowered her head, not answering the question.

Chen Luobai continued, “I came to know this candy because someone in high school secretly left two pieces on my desk before. While everyone else was stuffing love letters into my desk, that person just left two candies, but—”

He paused.

Zhou Anran couldn’t help but to tilt her head to look at him, at once, her gaze was met with the boy’s smiling and focused eyes that were staring back at her, as if he was trying to convey something.

“It’s pretty sweet.”

The same words he would later say on the night he kissed her for the first time.

Yu Qianxia regains her past memories and discovers that she is merely a foil to the heroine in an entertainment industry novel.... more>>

The female lead is her stepsister—gentle, kind, and easygoing. Meanwhile, as the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Qianxia is notorious for being spoiled, reckless, and hot-tempered.

Both of them join the same reality show. In the end, the heroine skyrockets to fame with her delicate and innocent persona, while Yu Qianxia gets buried under countless scandals, becoming the public's least favorite. Her story ends in complete misery.

Yu Qianxia wakes up and almost gets trapped by the plot.

At that moment, a system voice suddenly rings in her mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound to the Gossip-Eating System. As long as you keep up with the daily drama, you can break free from your assigned role and storyline—escaping your tragic fate!]

Yu Qianxia is thrilled: Is there such a good thing? Isn't it just eating melons? I can do it!

But she doesn't expect that this melon-eating system has a bug—it makes her blurt out the truth from time to time.

⁕

Yu Qianxia joins the reality show Let's Travel Together. The moment the show airs, netizens waste no time mocking her:

"Oh great, the drama queen is back. Is she here to throw another diva tantrum?"

"When will these resource-backed nobodies finally get kicked off the show?"

Meanwhile, during filming, Yu Qianxia's mind is suddenly flooded with all kinds of fresh celebrity gossip.

[That top-tier singer among your guests? He's actually been married for ages—his kid is old enough to run errands!]

[And that actor who keeps showing off his romance with his non-celebrity girlfriend, acting like the perfect devoted boyfriend? Total fraud. He's been cheating and has multiple side flings.]

[Haha, that female idol? She's lip-syncing! She's actually tone-deaf!]

Yu Qianxia eagerly eats up all the gossip, but at that moment, the system bug kicks in.

She can't hold back and blurts out to the top-tier singer, "Your kid's already in kindergarten, and you still have the nerve to call yourself single?"

To the actor, "Buying stamina supplements isn't a crime, but I do feel bad for all your girlfriends."

To the female idol, "Raking in money with lip-syncing—do your fans know about this?"

Netizens: !!!

Later, they discover that everything Yu Qianxia says is true! All those melons get exposed!

Soon, Yu Qianxia realizes that celebrities in the industry start avoiding her, and even the heroine doesn't dare to get close to her.

Netizens cheer, calling her the melon eater with a soul dedicated to spilling tea. A massive crowd gathers behind Yu Qianxia, eagerly devouring every juicy scandal she uncovers. Her popularity skyrockets, and she becomes an overnight sensation.

But what Yu Qianxia never expects... is that an even bigger melon is waiting for her to uncover!

[Fresh melon! Fresh melon! That newly crowned Best Actor has been secretly in love with his one and only White Moonlight for many years.]

Yu Qianxia's eyes light up. "Spill, who is it?!"

After eating the melon, Yu Qianxia suddenly blurts out, "What? It's Yu Qianxia!"

Five years ago, Lu Huaiyan’s casual remark—“Dull and uninteresting, nothing special”—buried Jiang Se’s girlish affections on the night of her 18th birthday.... more>>

That night, Jiang Se secretly made a wish: May someone, in this lifetime, ride in with glory and trample his face into the ground.

Five years later, Jiang Se suddenly fell from being a prestigious socialite of Beicheng to a fake heiress with a poor background. Losing her title, leaving Beicheng, and becoming self-reliant—she accepted it all gladly.

The only tiny regret? She figured she’d never get to witness Lu Huaiyan’s face being mercilessly ground into the dirt.

Later—

The cold and ruthless heir of the Lu family accidentally found out about her little regret.

Understanding just how much of a grudge she could hold, he pulled her out of bed, lifted her left foot, and pressed his face against it, speaking leisurely:

"Go ahead, rub all you want."

Jiang Se: "…"

—

Once, when Jiang Se followed behind him calling “Huaiyan-ge,” Lu Huaiyan didn’t even spare the little girl a glance.

Later, he realized—it was damn near impossible to coax her into calling him “Huaiyan-ge” again…

[Mini Scene]

One day, rumors spread that Lu Huaiyan was engaged to the Guans’ little princess.

Jiang Se sent him a short message: Goodbye.

That night, Lu Huaiyan rushed to the airport to stop her.

Jiang Se smiled. “Lu Huaiyan, I don’t touch what belongs to others. Let’s part on good terms.”

Lu Huaiyan gritted his teeth, grabbed her wrist, and said, “What? You don’t even touch what belongs to you anymore?”

Shortly after, the Lu family’s CEO made it to the trending searches with a single Weibo post:

#Not engaged. No marriage. My little ancestor is hard to please and hard to win over. I’m still pursuing her.# <<less

But it didn’t even take a single day for it all to come crashing down.

The moment her trusty phone was abruptly disconnected, she found herself framed for an unthinkable crime.

Every member of her group, every staffer at her agency was dead.

There's time to explain. No chance to clear her name. Just shock.

Then came an out-of-nowhere warning: “You need to disappear. Now.”

And a new task: find the hidden phone left behind by a dead member.

The only person she could possibly turn to?

A man named Cha Hee-kwon is currently cleaning her home as part of the “Tailored Butler Service for Residents.”

“Just stick close behind me. I’ll make sure at least Mr. Hee-kwon here gets out safe with me. Got it?”

“...I can fight, you know.”

“Says the guy whose face screams ‘I’ve never been in a fight in my life.’”

Until that moment, In-a had no idea.

No idea how dangerous that quiet man really was. No idea how deep the mess they were both about to step into.

But there was one thing she knew for sure.

The only choices were to become the nation’s most hated woman and disgrace her fans, or fight like hell and give her fans a reason to believe in her again.

In that case, there was no question.

The second one was the only real option. <<less

Just as their love was beginning to blossom, his dad caught him.

Forced to part from his first love, he didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye.

After entering university, Yan Linjian’s outstanding looks attracted countless admirers, but his goofy personality led to countless breakups. Within just one semester, he had already gone through eight failed relationships, making him a campus legend.

Meanwhile, another campus legend resided in his dorm, the computer science genius, Qi Jingzhi. Silent and reserved, he was incredibly skilled at gaming. Because of him, Yan Linjian was reminded of his first love and returned to the game with Qi Jingzhi’s help.

After chatting with his old partner, Yan Linjian once again felt the long-lost flutter of his heart.

“Team Leader Song Yiho, good morning.”... more>>

Within the DL Business Division, the two famously bickering team leaders—Cha Minkyu and Song Yiho—share a secret no one else in the company knows: they’ve actually been close friends since their school days, for over a decade.

“Babe, we’re in big trouble. I think people at work found out about us.”

“W-What the hell are you talking about?”

“You know, how we’ve been keeping our relationship a secret all this time.”

Childhood friends. Neighboring team leaders. And literal next-door neighbors—close enough to touch if you tripped and fell. Their bond couldn’t be any tighter. But in the middle of it all, Song Yiho carries another secret. One that’s weighed heavily on him for a long time.

“Technically, he’s right—but if he says it like that, he’s basically forcing me to make that misunderstanding real…”

The hidden variable he’s never been able to let out: a one-sided love that’s stayed silent for years.

“You know I’m throwing fits for no reason, so why don’t you block me?”

“Because Song Yi-Song isn’t just a friend.”

“…”

“He’s family. The kind I’ll apologize to and cling to at least three times, even when he’s being irrational.”

A friendship so deep it feels like family. A bond that promises forever. That’s why Song Yiho keeps his inefficient feelings buried.

“…Cha Minkyu, you’re too much.”

“Am I? I wouldn’t know. You’re the only one like you in my life—I’ve got no idea where the limit is.” <<less

And she was the most ordinary girl from the class next door, someone no one would notice in a crowd.

Just before graduation, she anonymously wrote him a letter, pouring her heart into every word, wishing him success in his exams and a bright future.

And indeed, he achieved just that.

When they met again, he had become a rising star in the tech world, his every move exuding an air of refinement.

“Love is an ever-fixed beacon of light.”

—Shakespeare’s Sonnets <<less

Sean, a famously handsome guy rumored to be a player, has actually never seriously dated anyone. Contrary to public perception, his attention has always been fixed on one person—his childhood friend, Lane Surf. Though they managed to attend the same university, they were in different departments and didn’t get to see each other often.... more>>

So when Sean finally met up with Lane over the weekend, he was caught completely off guard by what Lane said.

“I’m interested in someone. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out.”

Lane said he planned to bring someone named Dion to the party Sean invited him to. Sean was stunned by this sudden confession—especially coming from Lane, who’d always loved beetles a hundred times more than people. But that wasn’t the end of the heavy news.

“You’re not gay, but the person I might start dating could feel uncomfortable with how close we are. I just wanted you to know that.”

Lane, drawing a line and saying they couldn’t go back to how things were.

Lane, explaining that Dion—who seemed to be the polar opposite of Sean—was quiet, reserved, and not the type to socialize much. Someone who, by the sound of it, had never even dated before.

And for reasons he couldn’t fully understand, Sean felt a deep sense of melancholy.

⸻

“So you’re really an adult now, huh? Alright then, while we eat, tell me more about this Dion person. If he’s going to be the first person my best friend ever dates, I should at least know who he is.”

Lane, who had been silently listening, slipped out from under Sean’s arm. Brushing off the casual arm-over-the-shoulder gesture, Lane replied in a reluctant tone:

“I don’t think there’s any reason to explain it to you. It’s my private life.”

It was a very Lane-like response. If it had been Sean in his shoes, he’d probably be bragging and excitedly introducing the person to everyone. But Lane wasn’t like that. Still, even though it was a reasonable answer, Sean felt a strange sense of distance.

For nearly their whole lives, they had never created this kind of separation between them. But now, it felt like something was splitting them in two. There were moments of Lane’s life Sean would no longer be able to access—not just as a best friend.

“I just wanted to mark the occasion, that’s all. I mean, this could be your first relationship.”

“Pretty sure you never told me about your first girlfriend either.”

The reply came flatly. Sean opened his mouth to respond, then shut it again. The retort rose to his throat, then sank right back down.

Well… contrary to what everyone thinks, I’ve never dated anyone either. <<less

At this time, she and Fu Zhixian were still in the throes of deep affection, and the little s*ave had been serving in the eldest princess’s estate for three years.

In her previous life, when she first rescued him, she joked to Fu Zhixian, “Why not let him be my attending male one day?”

Fu Zhixian had only smiled and casually agreed.

She had waved it off as a joke and forgotten it completely.

But now that she remembered what she once said, she brought it up again. Fu Zhixian still thought it was a jest and casually replied the same.

So she took it seriously—and brought the man into her chambers. The candles burned through the night.

Fu Zhixian waited outside the corridor the whole time. Though only a door separated them, it felt like an entire ocean and mountain range lay between.

…

After planning her escape from the capital, Feng Lezhen discovered that, without Fu Zhixian, there was still—

A dashing and wealthy divine doctor

An ambitious hostage prince from a foreign tribe

A deadly, highly-skilled assassin

A sickly young shizi with private military power

…

Life is short—enjoy it to the fullest.
