*The male lead has been planning this for years / has had a secret crush for years / love and career progress side by side

Ye Mannai, heiress to the Ye Group, has always loved luxurious clothes, jewelry, and designer bags.

Bored one day, she created a video account and began posting about her favorite things from time to time.

Beautiful, rich, and stylish, she became a viral internet celebrity almost overnight.

But her good fortune didn't last. The Ye Group suddenly went bankrupt, and Ye Mannai became a fallen heiress overnight.

Onlookers thought that without her extravagant lifestyle to show off, she'd soon disappear from the public eye.

Instead, she calmly began selling off her unused luxury items, then became the fashion director of a major group.

Ye Mannai was determined to prove to the world that she was more than just a spoiled heiress.

·

Business tycoon Zhong Yanshi had just opened a fashion media company. It lost money all year, yet continued to receive the support of the group's top resources.

Industry insiders couldn't understand it. Was this some new way to make money?

Then Ye Mannai arrived as the new director...

One day, Ye Mannai and her subordinates were chatting about a new, steamy photoshoot featuring a male celebrity, covering their mouths as they giggled.

Zhong Yanshi happened to walk past behind them and left them with a sour remark: "...So this is the type you like."

That night, a junior secretary at the company caught Mr. Zhong holding Ye Mannai in his arms and nuzzling her fair neck.

The company chat exploded: Case closed! He opened the company to spoil his girlfriend! Our usually so restrained Mr. Zhong is the King of Jealousy in Asia!

·

There were many things Ye Mannai didn't know.

One of them was that, to him, she was a dewdrop on a rose, precious enough to melt in the palm of his hand.

The April verse etched in his heart, his past, present, and future.

--- Next contemporary romance: My Crush from the Dating Show Next Door ---

The greatest moment in dating show history had arrived---

Two shows from different countries happened to arrive in Switzerland to film at the same time.

A man and a woman from different programs crossed paths by chance.

That simple "hello" in Chinese landed like a seed.

In an instant, it bore fruit no one could have expected.

The crews on both sides were a little confused---

Wait, who is this guest? We haven't seen them before!

·

Beautiful and curvaceous, Yu Youxia became the show's most popular contestant as soon as she appeared.

But after spending time with her, the male contestants gradually discovered that the goddess was also an extreme sports enthusiast.

She was far too fierce for them to handle, and one by one, her abilities scared them off.

On the dating show next door, Luo Yaoxing had reluctantly joined at a friend's request.

During the pre-show interview, he declared, "My ideal type is someone quiet on the outside and wild on the inside. Anything less won't do."

Naturally, none of the female contestants could meet such strict standards.

So he coasted through the entire show, finding all sorts of ways to turn the women down.

Viewers watching both dating shows at once were getting anxious: "Why not take a look at Yu Youxia from the show next door?"

Just as viewers began pairing them up from afar, the latest episode showed the two meeting by chance on a snowy mountain---

What kind of plot could even the gods come up with this? We're all shipping them for dear life!
