[Difference in Status / Each Gets What They Want]
[Reversal of Power / Love and Hate Entwined]
Qiao Shuran first met Lu Qichuan at an industry summit.
Every invited guest was rich or powerful, and he was the most influential of them all.
As a hostess at the summit,
Qiao Shuran stood by the entrance like a decoration, her features gentle and her qipao identical to the others'.
As Lu Qichuan passed her, he draped the suit jacket over his arm across her shoulders.
Qiao Shuran was startled.
She knew the difference in their status and didn't want to become a rich young man's pastime, so she made up an excuse to turn him down. "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up later. It wouldn't look good if he saw us."
Lu Qichuan curled his lips, smiling nonchalantly. "That's exactly why I'm doing it."
-
To Lu Qichuan, Qiao Shuran was the perfect lover.
She did her job for the money, never asked where he went, never interfered with his social life, and never meddled in his affairs.
Lu Qichuan was very satisfied.
Until he stumbled upon her old social media account.
It turned out that when she was dating her ex, she shared the sky as each of them saw it every day, wandered hand in hand through the city's hidden corners, sampled street food he looked down on, and shared secrets he knew nothing about...
In the photos Qiao Shuran had posted,
she leaned against the boy's shoulder, wearing a sweet smile he had never seen before.
It was a little jarring.
Lu Qichuan looked away and scoffed disdainfully.
What childish games, like something grade-schoolers would play.
And yet, later, through all those days when his feelings went unanswered,
Lu Qichuan wondered countless times if he should ask Qiao Shuran:
You know how to do all those things. Why can't you do them with me, just once?
-
Qiao Shuran had thought that people in a relationship like theirs would forget each other completely once they parted ways.
Little did she know, she was like a 10% sulfuric acid solution.
Apparently colorless and odorless, she had silently corroded his entire heart.

[The Whole World Ships Me with My Husband, Except Me]
[Former Ship / Current Spouses]
[Marriage First, Love Later / Love Grows Over Time]
[1]
Two years after leaving the entertainment industry, former top-tier idol Jiang Zhan accepted a role in a new variety show.
On the day the interview segment was pre-recorded,
the other celebrities there promoted new dramas, showed off their kids, and flaunted their relationships.
Her new agent was frantic and offered her a suggestion. "Didn't you get married during these last two years? Hurry up and talk about it."
Jiang Zhan told the truth. "While I was away these past two years, I stayed home alone every day. They all say that's what they call a widowhood-style marriage..."
Before the official recording, the show's mentor was suddenly replaced by award-winning actor Sheng Yi.
As soon as the news broke, viewers eagerly grabbed their popcorn.
After all, when Sheng Yi first debuted, he and Jiang Zhan had appeared together on a dating show.
Later, one left the industry to get married, while the other switched careers at the height of his fame. They disappeared from public view at almost the same time.
Their ship became an enduring regret for countless fans.

At the recording, everyone's eyes were fixed on the pair.
Sheng Yi watched Jiang Zhan's interview, his expression slowly darkening.
After the show aired, the comments exploded.
Ship fans: Ahhh, he must be heartbroken! He's regretting never confessing to her back then!
Male lead fans: Pfft! My guy is obviously just embarrassed on someone else's behalf. Using their private lives for attention is so tacky!
Female lead fans: Hahaha, what does any of this have to do with Sheng? This guy is always trying to glom onto my girl!
No one expected that,
that night, the tension in their hotel room was even thicker than it was online.
Sheng Yi furrowed his brow and asked, enunciating every word, "A widowhood-style marriage?"
Jiang Zhan: "..."
Jiang Zhan: "Honey, I was just joking."

Living with your boyfriend for the postgraduate entrance examination, or four of us, are you afraid that you will pass the exam?
Why don't you update again?
So realistic 🥺 💔, it reminds me of the time when I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination
Very nice. Update.
I feel that this kind of psychology is very real. I know that the superior person will not be sincere and will not last long, but I still have the illusion of being a "lucky person" because it is the favor of the superior person.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
So now the heroine is being kept? I don't understand.
Hahahahahahaha the little sister is so powerful hahahaha
