The next stories in the series are Please Come and Soothe Me and It's Hard to End This Without Getting Married. Jiang Si was famous in the entertainment industry for her slender waist and stunning beauty. She had both looks and acting talent, but bad luck kept her from becoming popular. After Jiang Si was boycotted across the internet yet again, she announced that she was officially leaving the entertainment industry. After quitting, Jiang Si was invited to appear on a sales livestream. Her rival's antis mocked her mercilessly: "Can't act anymore, so she's resorted to begging? No longer an actress, now she's an online beggar. That pitiful princess face of hers is really shameless." When Jiang Si went live again and started trending, the antis flocked to the stream to watch. The woman on camera had skin as smooth as jade, delicate enough to break with a touch, and eyes that sparkled with every glance. She looked nothing like the miserable, wretched woman they'd imagined. The beauty livestreaming gave a charming smile, her red lips curling as she eagerly began showing off the designer bags, couture dresses, and luxury accessories hidden in the enormous walk-in closet behind her. After that, news about Jiang Si flooded in from every direction. "Jiang Si spotted driving into a mansion late at night." "Jiang Si spends a fortune at auction and wins a top-grade jadeite for a sky-high price." The gossip-loving public was finally furious. "Who said Jiang Si was so poor she had to beg? Beg your damn mother!" The antis refused to back down and slandered her: "Jiang Si must be kept by some rich guy. She's thrown away all her self-respect. Ugh, disgusting!" Until... The marriage announcement of Xie Quan, president of Shengjing and the man ranked number one on the list of most desirable husbands among Beijing's socialites, was made public. Photos from their wedding at the Holt Elston Castle were released as well. In the photos, the man was handsome and aloof, calm and self-possessed. The woman at his side, holding his arm in a trailing wedding gown and smiling sweetly, was none other than Jiang Si, who had been under suspicion for so long. Radiant beauty vs. celibate CEO *Thank you again for your support qaq Coming soon Please Come and Soothe Me When the engagement between the heiress of the Xie family of Jingnan and the president of the Fu Group was announced, everyone was stunned. Fu Shichen, president of the Fu Group, was refined and distinguished, ruthless in business, decisive in his actions, and remarkably cold in temperament. He never showed interest in women. Xie Jinjin, heiress of the Xie family of Jingnan, was spoiled and willful, beautiful and dramatic, and famous in Beijing's social circles for being a pampered princess. The public was certain the marriage was a business arrangement, that the two had no feelings for each other and would eventually divorce. Then a video suddenly went viral online, titled "Click to Watch the Daily Life of a Discarded Rich Wife." The woman in the video had bright eyes and pearly teeth, skin fairer than snow, and the fresh, vivid beauty of a rose in bloom. She was impeccably groomed from head to toe, even her hair shining with a silky, well-cared-for gloss. Seated in first class on a luxurious private jet, she enjoyed a top-of-the-line facial spa treatment. The diamond ring on her finger glittered brilliantly. Sharp-eyed viewers recognized it as The Graff Pink, the pink diamond recently sold at auction for over a hundred million. The comments exploded. [Well, I'll be! Is this what life as a rich (very) wife who was (totally) discarded (in name only) looks like?] [Please let me suffer through this kind of hardship, thank you.] [What good is living so luxuriously? Her marriage is still a mess, and the couple don't get along. She must be suffering in a sexless marriage.] As the video spread farther and the rumors grew more outrageous, Xie Jinjin made a livestream to set the record straight, something she'd never done before. "First, my marriage may be unhappy, but I have money. Second, even if we don't get along, his money is mine. Third..." The woman on the livestream smiled. "A sexless marriage? Not a chance. Is the game not fun enough? Or are my idols not entertaining enough?" As soon as she finished speaking, a strikingly handsome figure appeared in the livestream. The man had just returned from a business trip abroad. He slowly removed the glasses perched on his nose and asked with an amused smile, "Mrs. Fu, who did you say was entertaining?" The comments instantly went wild. [The ultimate public embarrassment!] [So, who's more entertaining?] [I think President Fu is more entertaining (doge)] Pampered princess vs. fake gentleman It's Hard to End This Without Getting Married /1/ Fu Yunshen, a top-tier star and legendary actor, was cool and abstinent, low-key and courteous. In all his years in the industry, he'd never had a single scandal. Actress Ming Wei was famous in the industry for her striking features. She was gorgeous, radiant, and uninhibited, and had been surrounded by rumors ever since her debut. Netizens voted them the most mismatched on-screen couple, and the two had never worked together. A troublemaking production team invited them to appear on the same variety show. Netizens mocked the idea, and their respective fanbases went to war. "Has the production team lost its mind?" "Let that actress stand on her own. Stop forcing a ship and trying to ride my idol's coattails." "Let our beautiful Wei Wei go. My Wei is perfect on her own, thanks." After the show aired... "Waaah, they're so sweet! Fu-Ming are real!" "Fu-Ming are endgame. I threw away the key!" "I've brought the marriage bureau. Please get married already!" "If Fu-Ming don't get married, this is never going to end!" /2/ During one surprise visit for the show, the production crew went to interview them without giving notice. The woman who opened the door was wearing a silk nightgown. Her eyes were tender, her lips flushed, and faint red marks showed at her collarbone. Behind her, a familiar, cool voice came from inside the room. "Wei Wei, where did you put my tie?" The door slammed shut at once. The livestream exploded. "What did I just see?" "What kind of adults-only scene was that?!" "Help! Mom, I found a real couple!" Top-tier star actor vs. infamous young actress [Featured] He Can Hear is now available Qin Sang had been secretly in love with Xie Yunchen for ten years. In high school, Xie Yunchen was a gifted young man, admired by everyone and utterly out of reach. She was just the most ordinary student in their class, completely unremarkable. They shared a class for three years, and their only connection was the heartfelt wish she left in his yearbook on graduation day. "Classmate Xie, the road ahead is long. May all you seek be what you wish for, and may all you wish for be yours. I hope your future shines bright, that you make the most of your youth, and that you bravely journey through the galaxy and conquer the stars soon." Every word was sincere, every line written from the heart. But her blessing was lost in the tide, too faint to be noticed. After that, they went their separate ways, never to cross paths again. Ten years later, she won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress. Her career was shining, and her future looked bright. But her old Weibo account from years ago was unexpectedly dug up. It chronicled her long history of unrequited love, every post filled with the most earnest feelings of a young girl. On the day she deactivated the account, she posted one final message. "The universe is silent, and so is unrequited love. What a shame he can't hear me." Fans and netizens flooded in, and the comments surged. Then, late that night, an account named "X" appeared in the comments. [X: He can hear you.] Theme: Nothing is impossible if you are willing to work hard.
