[Ode to Joy fanfiction + ensemble cast + reshuffled couples + family-of-origin issues + intense adult romantic push and pull + slow-burn healing]
I always felt the ending wrapped up too hastily, leaving so many stories untold. After reading plenty of fanfiction and thinking it over for a long time, I want to continue the lives of the five women from Apartment 22 in an ensemble story, giving each of them a complete and happy ending.
Qu Xiaoxiao × Yao Bin|Only after realizing the truth following a mistaken love does she learn her beloved has always been by her side
Qiu Yingying × Ying Qin|Everyday warmth and a love that grows steady over time
Guan Ju’er × Zhao Qiping|After weathering countless trials, their souls finally find harmony
An Di × Tan Zongming|Years of steadfast devotion finally become a love returned in kind
Fan Shengmei × Gu Yanting|Escaping the mire, she meets a kind and gentle man
The pacing will be rather slow.
