For two years after her son's wedding, Yang Yufen never showed her face.

The boldest thing Chi Huan ever did was to use marriage as a gamble to win the heart of Cheng Zhongting, a man of immense power and status.

When Ji Qingzhou arrived in this new life, he hadn’t yet antagonized the regent. He decided to bide his time and avoid provoking the regent, who held the power of life and death.

However, he didn’t expect that his first encounter with the regent would involve a beautifully dressed and handsome young man who was on the brink of losing his sanity due to some kind of drug-induced torment. Seeing the impending disaster, Ji Qingzhou reluctantly intervened to help, only to find himself entangled in the situation…

Afterward, Ji Qingzhou lived in constant fear, worried that if the regent recognized him, he would be silenced. To make matters worse, he noticed that his stomach was gradually getting bigger…

One day, the regent suddenly declared that Ji Qingzhou no longer needed to serve him.

People rejoiced, thinking they had finally seen the end of the young man’s rise.

With a bright smile, oblivious to the red sauce smeared around her mouth, Sia offered him the noodles. Unable to refuse, Hangyeol took a deep breath and accepted her offering.

"Whew. Wow... It’s definitely unforgettable."

The lingering spice left Hangyeol dizzy.

"I’ll get you some more water," Sia said, jumping up and returning with a chilled bottle. She filled his glass, and he drained it in one go.

"Are you not good with spicy food?"

"Ha... No, not really."

"Then, how about we eat spicy food together more often?"

Thinking she was joking, Hangyeol frowned, but Sia’s expression was completely serious.

"Right now, Hangyeol, you look incredibly sexy. Let’s eat spicy food together all the time."

Even with her lips stained red, Sia’s radiant smile lit up the room. After years of devoting himself to just one person, Hangyeol’s heart began to stir, as if ready to awaken for someone new. <<less

Fans: “Who is this mysterious first love? Who on earth had the audacity to dump him??”

Rivals: “He’s really pulling out all the stops for fame, huh? What kind of ‘first love’ act is this? Let’s see when he trips up.”

The short-sighted Sheng Li: “….”

She watched as Yu Chi, now exuding icy aloofness, walked past her. Is this really how you pursue someone???

________________________________________

Due to a movie project, the two were cast in the same production again. This time, Sheng Li was the female lead, and Yu Chi was the male lead.

During their kissing scene, they went through over ten NGs, leaving Sheng Li flushed. Yu Chi sincerely apologized to the director: “Sorry, Director. I’ll make sure it passes next time.”

Later, just before Sheng Li was about to film a kissing scene with the second male lead, Yu Chi passed by and leaned down to whisper in her ear: “Sister, if you NG more than three times, I’m coming to settle accounts with you tonight. The code is the same as back then, and you better not lock the door.”

Sheng Li: “….”

Synopsis:... more>>

Shu Qingwan and Rong Yin once shared a past.

But she knew the gap between them was too wide, and there could be no happy ending.

When rumors spread that his first love had returned to the country, she let go and walked away.

After returning to China, as a highly popular inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it was revealed that she was the star of the viral cheongsam video from years ago.

With her jade-like grace and delicate waist, exuding both elegance and allure, Shu Qingwan’s popularity skyrocketed.

During an interview, when asked about her past relationship, she didn’t avoid the topic, simply smiling and saying, "He taught me to let go of obsession and understand the impermanence of life."

That day, he was there in person, watching her speak every word.

She had stayed by his side for many years.

But what he had truly taught her was to embrace desire, to crave deeply.

Synopsis 2:

Shu Qingwan was the long-lost daughter of the Lin family. After being found, her parents, feeling deeply indebted to her, treated her like a precious treasure.

Seeing their son go from one relationship to another while their daughter remained single, they arranged a blind date for her.

The suitor, having passed her parents’ scrutiny, was naturally exceptional.

She thought there was no harm in giving it a try.

But just as she made up her mind, Rong Yin suddenly appeared, saying to her, "Long time no see."

The man, noble and aloof yet radiating an overwhelming presence, disrupted the scene, revealing his possessive and domineering nature in that moment.

The rose he had nurtured with his own hands could only bloom for him.

【Mini Theater】

Rong Yin was famously known for his ascetic and cold demeanor. He owned a secluded mountain villa where he would often stay for months at a time, as his friends well knew.

But suddenly, rumors began to spread that his mountain villa held a secret.

He wasn’t there to cultivate his mind—he was hiding his beloved white moonlight!

As the rumors grew, his friends became increasingly curious and finally decided to investigate while he was away.

The plan went smoothly, and they successfully infiltrated the villa.

What they didn’t expect was that their nighttime exploration wouldn’t uncover a white moonlight, but rather someone who had mysteriously disappeared for days—

Seeing the figure in a flowing dress running downstairs barefoot, someone exclaimed in shock, "Qingwan?!"

Rong Yin had seen her at her most devoted, loving him deeply.

He had also seen her indifference when she said, "Mr. Rong, I will always have to marry someday."

"I saw flames rise from a lonely mountain."

Later.

She became his unconditional love.

He is trapped within a salt formation designed specifically to capture demons.

Uncontrollably, he grew a pair of small horns and a succubus tail.

The young and handsome priest sat in his chair, watching him with interest. “So this is your original form?”

Later, Xue Zhao was locked in a specially crafted silver cage, stepping onto soft, velvet rugs, leaning against the priest’s embrace, his clothes in disarray.

With nothing but a single cruel letter declaring that everything had been a lie, Emeline’s first love disappeared. Now, he has returned—upon hearing the news of her engagement.

***

It all began with rivalry between families. That man, Zenon Trancium, was a delinquent aristocrat who never failed to scratch at her pride. One summer day, when they were both young and naive…

“Have you ever kissed anyone?” Oh, right, you’re so high and mighty that you would freak out if someone even touched you, wouldn’t you?”

“I’ve done it too. Want me to show you?”

What started as a battle of pride from his taunts quickly turned into first love. But before long, Emeline realized it had all been a game to him, and she erased him from her life—or at least, she tried to.

“It’s been a while, Lady Delzeier.”

Until the moment he appeared again, right after hearing of her engagement.

“Do you hate me so much you’d die? Funny, it doesn’t feel like the truth to me.”

Despite being the one who abandoned her, he now stood before her with the look of someone who had been left behind. Her first love was intruding upon Emeline’s life once more—this time, not to offer love, but to ruin her engagement.

“Lady Delzeier, we may still be rivals tied by our families, but let me make one thing clear.”

We’re no longer the naive children of that summer. <<less
