1.

Xiao Ciyang woke up one morning with seven years of memories missing.

Not only had he achieved his dream of becoming a famous actor, he also had a husband he hadn't expected! Apparently, his husband was rich, handsome, and influential, with broad shoulders, long legs, and an eight-pack. He was also a devoted husband.

Xiao Ciyang: Well... I guess I could give it a try?

Then he opened the door, saw the face of his hated rival, and slammed it shut again.

2.

For the sake of their careers, they decided to stay married for the time being and keep pretending to be an affectionate couple in public. Once their agreement ended, they would divorce.

When the time came... Xiao Ciyang stared at his pregnancy test and fell into deep thought.

So much for having nothing to do with each other!

Where did this baby come from?!

3.

Fu Suizhao was a powerful figure in the business world, known for his self-control, restraint, and mature good looks. He was the man of many people's dreams.

The only downside was that he was married.

His spouse was Xiao Ciyang, the entertainment industry's top-tier star. After they married, they were constantly making the trending lists by showering each other with affection, keeping countless media outlets in business.

Yet this enviable model couple was suddenly exposed as having divorced long ago, with all their public displays of affection nothing but an act.

On the day the news hit the trending list, Xiao Ciyang took a red pen and drew a huge X over Fu Suizhao in their wedding photo, then posted on Weibo: Ad space available.

When the media asked him about it the next day, the usually reserved and dignified actor guiltily tugged at his collar.

The big-shot CEO beside him put an arm around his waist and smiled. "It's already been rented."

Fans: You're using your married-couple antics to tease us again, aren't you?!

"Turned into My Archrival's Cat"

Yun Feiwan and Mu Shizhou had competed over everything since childhood: exams, sports, games, even trending topics.

Almost all their friends knew they were bitter rivals who wouldn't rest until the other was defeated.

One morning, Yun Feiwan woke up and discovered he'd become the kitten Mu Shizhou had just adopted.

Staring at that hated face, Yun Feiwan bared his little claws. It was time for revenge.

While Mu Shizhou was reading a script, Yun Feiwan bit his hand. Mu Shizhou: My kitten kissed me!

While Mu Shizhou was taking a bath, Yun Feiwan swiped at him with a paw. Mu Shizhou: My kitten shook hands with me!

Yun Feiwan simply waited until the dead of night, crept into his room, and prepared to sit on the sleeping Mu Shizhou until he died. Mu Shizhou: My kitten woke me up!

Yun Feiwan: Damn it! I can't live like this anymore!

By day, Yun Feiwan avoided Mu Shizhou whenever he saw him. By night, as a cat, he had to let Mu Shizhou kiss him, cuddle him, and hold him up high.

He thought life couldn't get any more miserable, until his company arranged for him to appear on a variety show with that guy, and they had to live together?!

The first thing Yun Feiwan did every morning was pick a fight with Mu Shizhou, determined to prove the rumors that they didn't get along were true.

But why did the online discussion seem to be heading in a strange direction?

Fans: Wanwan adds chili peppers to the persimmons' food every day. Does he know they like spicy food? Childhood sweethearts forever!

Yun Feiwan: I just want to poison him to death?!

Fans: Wanwan's expression while teaching the persimmon to play piano is so intense! Is that what they mean by exchanging meaningful glances? I'm shipping them!

Yun Feiwan: I was just glaring at him?!

When #SaysOneThingMeansAnother appeared on Weibo's trending list, the cat in question sat in Mu Shizhou's arms and watched him go wild in their ship's fan forum using an alt account. Yun Feiwan slapped him with a paw. "Who's saying one thing and meaning another?! I hate you!"

★ "The Empress Dowager Is Carrying the Regent's Baby" ★

[Bottom's version]

At eighteen, Yan Zhiyu was betrothed to the crown prince. At twenty, when the crown prince ascended the throne, she became empress.

No one expected the new emperor to kick the bucket just a few years after ascending the throne, leaving his only son, a four-year-old, to inherit the throne.

Looking at the court full of wolves and tigers, Yan Zhiyu appointed some prince from a remote backwater as regent and became the empress dowager, ruling from behind the curtain.

But something seemed off about this regent. Wasn't he supposed to be a good-for-nothing?

And what was with him running to her chambers every day?

[Top's version]

Ling Lie had yearned for Yan Zhiyu for years. After finally marrying her, he discovered she was as stiff as a plank.

So what if she was a plank? He was happy to keep her by his side.

After finally waiting for his father to die, he hadn't even warmed the imperial throne before he kicked the bucket himself.

When Ling Lie woke up, he discovered he'd become some prince from a remote backwater, and people from the palace were waiting outside.

They said the empress dowager had appointed him regent.
