Liang Yueren's photography won an international award, suddenly making him famous as a celebrated new photographer with fans cheering him on... Of course, it was all because of his exceptionally handsome face.
He gave a profile interview, and the reporter asked, "Mr. Liang, I'd like to ask on behalf of all your female fans: do you have any plans to date anytime soon?"
For a moment, Liang Yueren looked stunned, his gaze unfocused.
In the distance, his assistant waved frantically. When Liang Yueren did not react, the assistant answered for him: "Our boss is too busy to date."
"Then surely you've had a first love?" Seeing a chance for a juicy scoop, the reporter immediately followed up.
Liang Yueren came back to himself, his expression returning to normal.
The next day, the report came out with a huge, bold headline: "Genius Heartthrob Photographer Liang Yueren Talks About His Love Life for the First Time!"
In an instant, it sparked a new round of trending topics online.

They say that by thirty, a person should have found their footing. But that year, Qu Wu's career was at a low point after a serious setback, and then his father fell ill and died...
On the night he lost his closest relative, Qu Wu stood smoking in a dim corner of the street, arms folded. He looked up through the window of a 24-hour convenience store.
On the screen, Liang Yueren smiled, his thin lips parting:
"First love?"
"I forgot."
Those words were cruel, like a knife stabbing into Qu Wu's heart, leaving it aching and hollow. The ember burned all the way to his fingertips before the pain made him press the cigarette butt hard against the concrete wall to extinguish it.

Liang Yueren went away to take photographs and updated his pictures at his fans' request.
For the first time, Liang Yueren, who had never appeared in person in his own posts, uploaded a set of nine photos of himself, all from his partner's point of view.
His observant fans immediately sensed something was going on.
Then photos of them holding hands at the airport broke online, and a romance was suspected to have been revealed.
In the photos, Liang Yueren, usually cool and aloof, was holding the hand of a tall, elegant man with a refined air. A gentle smile played on his face.
Some people declared that such a high-profile romance would not last long.
That night, in the dim, wavering light, Liang Yueren nestled beneath the covers and spoke as if casually: "A lot of people online are waiting to see us break up."
Qu Wu's eyes reddened, and he kissed him with fierce intensity.
"Not unless I die," he said.

They mend their relationship and reunite after breaking up.
Love is always at its best.
A hug for Jiao Wa, who made me a custom cover!

Theme: Love may be the simple, ordinary beauty in everyday life.
