Spring Grows Warmer

[A once-famous singer, cold on the outside and warm within × a devoted, persistent game company founder]

At twenty-two, Zhou Ni was taken hostage at a hospital by an obsessive fan who demanded her hand in marriage.

At the last moment before the elevator doors closed, a hand with a worn-white cuff reached inside.

Back then, Sheng Yanghe still had a tumor on his face.

Years later, when they met again in Yuncheng, Zhou Ni “picked him up” and brought him home.

She took him to get treatment, helped him choose his college entrance exam preferences, taught him to build Lego... and even secretly gave him his first investment.

Zhou Ni always thought of him as family.

Until the day of his graduation ceremony, when she stumbled upon his secret and left him a single line:

“Sheng Yanghe, congratulations on graduating. Don't contact me again.”

Five years later, the variety show Soundwave returned. Former talent-show champion Zhou Ni went up against an amateur singer once more, only to be handed a “sacrificial lamb” script and eliminated in the first round.

In the spotlight corridor, the rising game mogul who had made a name for himself with his “perfectly sculpted face” strode toward her along a long red carpet. Under the gaze of cameras livestreaming around the world, he pulled her firmly to his side and whispered in her ear:

“Happy birthday, sis.”

From bergamot laundry detergent to deep-blue formalwear, from a Land Rover Lego set to the game Heatwave that swept the nation.

No one knew that in those lonely days, only three things kept Sheng Yanghe going:

Thinking of Zhou Ni.

Wanting to see Zhou Ni.

Wanting to love Zhou Ni.

A few tips:

1. They are six years apart, with ages calculated by birthday.

2. There are plenty of flashbacks to support the story.

3. The characters are not based on real people. Professional details have been compiled from online sources, so please don't scrutinize them too closely.
