The first time Cheng Yao met Qian Heng, she couldn’t believe that this tall, handsome man with an air of elegance was the same "cancer of the industry" everyone warned her about.... more>>

His deep, captivating eyes made it even harder to believe.

Cheng Yao was skeptical—how could someone who looked this good be a cancer?

Until reality hit her hard—

She secretly observed Qian Heng’s every move, hoping to learn from him.

Her boss, expressionless and blunt as ever, remarked, “Stop staring. You've been watching me for days. If you have time to admire me, why not spend it reviewing case files?”

"……" Dude, you're overthinking this.

When she asked for a raise—

Qian Heng gave no direct response. But that evening, for the first time, he showed up at a company gathering and personally dedicated a song to her—"When Dreams Are Shattered."

---

[Mini Theater]

Cheng Yao had too much to drink at the annual party. She ran up to the stage, grabbed the microphone, and shouted:

"What’s so great about Qian Heng? Just because he’s a partner?! One day, when I make it big, he’ll have to listen to me! From then on, I’ll be the one calling the shots! I, Cheng Yao, will make sure he knows what it means when I say— Your! Turn! Has! Come!”

That day, no one could forget the terrifying expression on Qian Heng’s face from the audience...

But what they didn’t know was—

The next day, Cheng Yao was cornered against a wall by Qian Heng.

With a blank expression, he said, “Don’t I already listen to you at home? In private, you call the shots. But at work? No. You still have to listen to me.”

Chu Zhaohuai had a few relatives and a weak body. The imperial teacher once predicted for him that he would go through a calamity at the age of eighteen, but if he could pass through it, he would have a smooth life.... more>>

Just after his eighteenth birthday, he was abandoned by his family, and they plotted to marry him to the evil spirit feared by everyone in the capital and sent him to death.

——It is rumoured that the evil spirit Ji Xun was seriously injured on the battlefield, and killed people like crazy when he encounters a mad attack.

Chu Zhaohuai: "..."

Fortunately, the evil spirit will not live long, so as long as he can survive until Ji Xun dies, he can get through this calamity.

Chu Zhaohuai prayed to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that Ji Xun would ascend to heaven and reach paradise soon. He sought his fortune at the Huguo Temple, who predicted: "His Highness is in good health", and got the worst fortune. Chu Zhaohuai was so agitated that tears welled up in his eyes.

Ji Xun saw the tears in his eyes, and his heart was moved.

Is he so deeply in love with him?

***

"The evil spirit marries a man" has been talked about by people in the capital recently, and they all think that the "Princess" may not survive for more than three months.

Who would have thought that the evil spirit, who has always been sinister, would become soft and considerate to Chu Zhaohuai. When in danger, he would become furious for his beloved. Even when he goes insane, he does not hurt him at all.

Chu Zhaohuai has never been valued so much before, and he was flattered. He made up his mind:

if he does not die after the calamity, he would spend the rest of his life with Ji Xun.

But later Ji Xun died.

Chu Zhaohuai kept vigil for three days on a snowy night, his heart was as dead as a dead tree.

***

The situation in the capital changed, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The sickly beauty was dressed in mourning, and he was lost and had nowhere to go with his deceased husband's belongings. People with bad intentions in the capital coveted him and tried to occupy him.

Until the man in black clothes was surrounded by people, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live Your Majesty.

——It turned out to be Ji Xun who had faked his death, and now rules the world.

Just when everyone thought Chu Zhaohuai would be overjoyed because his "deceased husband" has come back to life, they saw Chu Zhaohuai staggering and kneeling down to salute him, calling him:

"Your Majesty." The face of the high and mighty emperor suddenly turned pale. <<less

Lin Kongshan is a meticulous and self-disciplined man. In the eyes of his colleagues and subordinates, he is an all-powerful assistant—efficient, reliable, and indispensable. However, there’s just one problem: he looks too good.... more>>

Not only does this bring him endless trouble in the workplace—where admirers persistently seek his attention—but his family is now urging him into an arranged marriage with a complete stranger.

Lin Kongshan is determined to refuse. Yet when he reads through the details of his prospective partner, he finds nothing to fault—on paper, they are flawless. The only issue?

They’re five years younger than him.

So, he declines without hesitation.

"Too young."

After cutting ties with a persistent former boss, Lin Kongshan secures a new job. His new superior is young, exceptionally capable, and has a strong presence, though his icy demeanor is downright intimidating.
