Blurb: Actress Jiang Chu has been back among the living for a year, and somehow she's become the suspect in a drunk-driving accident. All her endorsement deals have vanished, and she's saddled with a pile of lawsuits.
As she's selling her house to raise money, an old acquaintance comes to see her: genius director Zhong Li, who once publicly rejected their mentor's attempt to set the two of them up.
Jiang Chu has fallen to rock bottom and is mortified. To her surprise, Zhong Li not only buys her house but also brings out the script for his new play. “We agreed on this before. Don't leave me hanging.”
Jiang Chu: “Shouldn't I be the one saying that?”
No one understands why Zhong Li is still standing by Jiang Chu.
When his boss brings a newly signed actress to a dinner to win Zhong Li over, he says, “The female lead is broke. She can't afford to front the money for your nose job.”
When an investor threatens to pull out unless the female lead is replaced, Zhong Li says, “Do as you please. I'll fund it myself.”
When Jiang Chu hears about it, she picks up her drink to thank him. Zhong Li says, “That's it? That's hardly sincere.”
Jiang Chu: “...Then what would count as sincere?”
Zhong Li: “I've had too much to drink. Take me home.”
Jiang Chu: “...”
Jiang Chu can't understand why Zhong Li has suddenly started being so good to her. Why didn't he do this sooner?
One day, Zhong Li confesses to his family: “I calculated how long she had to live back then. It wasn't long, so I didn't want to get too attached.”
2. At the Bridge of Helplessness, Jiang Chu was chosen by a powerful immortal to work for a year. From then on, she gained an ability somewhat like being possessed by a ghost.
The police search for the real culprit, and she protects the police. So just as a criminal raises his gun, his hand inexplicably slips and knocks out the magazine?
When her coworkers team up with paparazzi to frame her, she possesses a paparazzo and pulls the memory card out of the camera.
Sometimes she even leaves her body and sneaks off to watch Zhong Li, lying beside him and spending the night.
Until one day, this guy catches her soul and pulls her physical body into his arms too.
“It's pretty terrifying when you suddenly crawl into my bed in the middle of the night.”
“Boss?”

Rong Xiangjian is the daughter of a Duke of Britain and a horse trainer. Born into a lowly station, she has no choice but to accept the marriage her third sister turned down.
On the first day after the wedding, Xiangjian realizes she's only a stand-in for her third sister. But her husband has saved her twice, from a fire and beneath a horse's hooves, so she repays his kindness.
Zhou Xianyang, the son of a deposed empress, was comforted and helped by the Rong family's third daughter during his darkest hour. He never forgot her, not even ten years later.
He thinks: The best way to repay the third daughter is to treat her younger sister well.
They both assume they'll go on living together with mutual respect.
But the night before a long journey, neither can hold back. They spend the night entwined, unable to bear being apart. When it is time to leave, Rong Xiangjian is still hugging Zhou Xianyang around the waist, refusing to let him get up.
After that, there's no stopping them.
One day, when Xiangjian visits her family, Zhou Xianyang climbs over the wall into the Duke's residence in the middle of the night and can't bear to leave until the next morning.
Mutual respect? That's for when they're out in public.
At home, there's nothing but shamelessness.
Prince Yu becomes the most favored imperial son through his military exploits and political achievements, and Rong Xiangjian becomes the envy of all as Princess Consort Yu. Her third sister regrets her choice and keeps tripping her up, even standing by and doing nothing when palace nobles harm her.
Yet Prince Yu, who knows all of this, keeps forgiving the third sister again and again.
Xiangjian finally understands that no matter how sweet things are in bed, they can't compare to being comforted in the depths of despair.
She resolves to write a letter of separation.
At that moment, the usually calm and composed Prince Yu reveals a rare look of helplessness. “Do you really mean to leave me?”
Rong Xiangjian nods calmly, her eyes utterly unruffled.
To keep her, Zhou Xianyang finally burns the handkerchief he has treasured for nearly ten years.
But Xiangjian snatches the half-burned handkerchief from the fire. “Isn't this the one I lost when I first entered the palace? How did you get it?”
Rong Xiangjian: the lucky charm who turns whoever marries her into an emperor X Zhou Xianyang: a clever man who spent his whole life mistaking the wrong person for his first love

Hahahahahaha? I'm sorry I couldn't hold it back... I can't even use my phone???
Suitors like Alex are the most annoying! It's so easy to say that you like it, but you can't even put in the effort to understand it. How dare you say that you like it? What you like is basically the person you think you are, not this living person!
He was murdered and had to take the blame for the murderer. The real murderer was absolutely vicious.
This whole paragraph is a bit deliberate + redundant
