Cherishing the Emperor

(Originally titled Spoiling the Villain) Lin Baiyu has had everything go her way since childhood. Any injuries she gets heal quickly, and even a common cold is no exception. Until she turns seventeen and has a dream. In the dream, her life is the opposite of her real one. She's penniless, treated as a tool to make money, and eventually even goes blind. The man who saves her doesn't have a happy ending, either. · Sui Qin lives in darkness. He goes to school during the day, works at night, and gets into fights now and then. His life never changes. Except that inexplicable wounds and illnesses keep appearing on him. Then a girl with a red mole between her brows barges into his life. "Sui Qin, now it's my turn to save you." Sui Qin sneers. Does she think she's some kind of Bodhisattva? · Unexpectedly, the girl everyone sees as their unattainable ideal becomes Sui Qin's unspeakable secret. "Little Bodhisattva, how are you going to spoil me?" · A long time ago, Sui Qin made a wish to the Bodhisattva. "Please keep you safe and sound year after year, even if the world is turned upside down." · Baiyu is another name for the stars, so Lin Baiyu's nickname is Xing Xing, or Star. After the college entrance exam, Lin Baiyu asks, "A Qin, what do you want to study?" Sui Qin: "I want to look at the stars for the rest of my life." Later, an observatory announces a new planet discovered and named by him, the Lin Baiyu Star, forever recorded in the history of astronomy. With all eyes on him, Sui Qin writes on social media: "Dedicated to my wife, and to everyone who gazes at the universe." * ★ School life, mutual salvation ★ The final line is taken from A Night-Sky Wanderer's Guide by an Astronomer [New novel: Heat] In the eyes of his classmates, Wu Yan is brash, a born champion. He can do anything, and won a gold medal in an international swimming competition while still young. By day, Wu Yan swims like a fish, stirring ripples in the hearts of girls across the school. Xiang Ou is just an onlooker. At night, in the quiet swimming pool, she gets a call from Wu Yan. His voice is teasing: "I'm drowning." "Come save me." · Xiang Ou is pretty and sweet, and people are always hitting on her. One of her suitors checks in every day, following her all the way to the changing room. The knocking at the door continues. Inside, Wu Yan pins her against the wall and smiles nonchalantly. "Go out, or kiss me. Pick one." · After they reunite, Wu Yan is once again a world champion at the peak of his career, while Xiang Ou has become a news reporter. After the interview, he blocks her way. "What do you want?" Wu Yan says quietly, "I don't want to let you go again." Later, at the Olympics, Xiang Ou is assigned to interview the athletes after the competition. She asks, "What are your plans after the competition?" In front of everyone, Wu Yan raises an eyebrow. "Going on a date with you." * ★ Swimmer x sports journalist Theme: Keep your heart turned toward the light
