After the company got a new president, Zheng Yining landed the role she wanted, and life was looking rosy.

Outsiders only knew that she and the new president had gone to the same university, and joked that she'd have someone backing her from now on.

But the truth was...

When Zheng Yining met Zhong Yueqin again, she realized that, damn it, she still liked him.

Like a long-forgotten memory being awakened and brought to life,

Zheng Yining started down the path of being a drama queen and never looked back...

Zhong Yueqin: "Why do you come to the office to memorize your script?"

Zheng Yining: "Because the employee cafeteria's beef brisket and potatoes are delicious!"

Zhong Yueqin: "Then why did you come to my place when I was sick?"

Zheng Yining: "Huh? Research shows that an employee's attentive care helps their boss recover faster and return to work with renewed energy!"

"I'm such a drama queen because I like you, but I only dare to be careful about it. ╭(╯^╰)╮"

Through a twist of fate, Xu Yinyin ends up living with movie star Lu Zheng.

Xu Yinyin thought the movie star was cold, quiet, and serious, a flower perched high on an unreachable peak.

But only after they moved in together did she discover that he meddled in everything, from the weather to the air, and even supervised her meals, sleep, and milk-drinking!

This man is so annoying and so long-winded!

As they spend day after day together, Xu Yinyin's girlish heart comes alive, and she slowly, secretly, falls for him.

When his new film is about to start shooting, Lu Zheng leaves. Their life together is basically over.

"Distraught," Xu Yinyin takes a friend's introduction and gets ready to go on a blind date.

In a quiet private room, a man walks in at an unhurried pace.

Xu Yinyin wonders how she can turn down her blind date as she looks up.

Lu Zheng stands with his hands in his pockets, gazing down at her quietly, his expression a little cool.

Xu Yinyin stares at him blankly and tilts her head. "Hmm?" Why is it you?

After a long moment, Lu Zheng's lips curl slightly and his expression softens.

One day, someone spots the movie star in the old part of the city.

He's holding a young woman's hand as they stroll along the road.

Her soft hair falls to her shoulders, her slender frame leaning against his arm like a little bird.

The gossip-loving girls are so jealous.

Blurb:

Gu Shan has been feeling miserable lately because her mother keeps pressuring her to get married.

One day, as she passes a cafe,

she catches a glimpse of a handsome, well-built man in a white shirt, working on his laptop.

He looks presentable enough,

so Gu Shan decides to be bold for once.

She orders a coffee, walks over to his table, gathers her courage, and says softly, "...Excuse me, handsome, may I sit here?" She even makes an extra effort to bat her eyelashes.

The man looks up. His face seems a little familiar.

But before Gu Shan can figure out why, he closes his laptop, raises an eyebrow, and says teasingly, "It's been years, and now you know how to flirt. You've gotten pretty bold."

Gu Shan realizes who he is at once.

She says nothing, pressing her lips tightly together, her cheeks flushed red.

What goes around comes around.

The man she rejected back in school is now the one she's approached first.

"Have you missed me?" he asks shamelessly.
