[One]
At thirteen, Xin Yue was taken from an orphanage to the Gu family of Ning City to donate bone marrow to her critically ill half-sister.
An hour before she went into surgery, Chang Yi slipped a candy into her hand. "Don't be scared. It won't hurt."
She believed him. She believed him for ten years.
[Two]
Xin Yue, the campus belle of Ning University, is famous for her cool, aloof beauty. Countless suitors pursue her, knowing full well that she'll turn them down.
Until they see the goddess at the school gates, holding onto a tall, handsome, carefree man leaning against a luxury car, laughing like a child.
That's when everyone learns that Xin Yue comes from a distinguished family and is the perfect childhood sweetheart for the heir to Changshi Group. After graduation, she's supposed to marry into the wealthy family and become a rich man's wife.
On the night of graduation, Xin Yue smokes for the first time, her lips curled in scorn. She's had enough of the false affection hidden beneath their peaceful facade.
The man she's loved for ten years can't forget someone else. She's only a stand-in, keeping the interests of their two families tied together.
The man is lazy and carefree. When she says they should break up, he doesn't even react, just smiles and agrees. "Do whatever you want."
Xin Yue finally gives up and leaves the city.
Two years later, Xin Yue becomes a sensation playing a breathtakingly beautiful, bewitching dance performer whose fate is tragic. She becomes the most promising newcomer at a Jiangcheng entertainment company.
Invitations to popular variety shows, scripts, and endorsement deals pour in. To her surprise, that man comes in person to discuss a partnership with her.
Xin Yue is as cold as frost. "Mr. Chang, we agreed never to see each other again. Don't come bother me."
News that the president of Changshi Group is openly pursuing his former fiancée spreads throughout Ning City, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"That illegitimate daughter who grew up in an orphanage?"
"I heard she was vicious as a child and used to bully the real heiress behind her back."
"If she hadn't shamelessly slept with Chang Yi, she never would have almost become the Chang family's daughter-in-law. Her true colors were exposed, and she ran off in disgrace. How dare she come back?"
When Xin Yue attends an event, reporters question her, while the people around her look on gleefully.
Her voice is cool and dismissive. "I was just following my family's arrangements back then. If I'd really wanted to be a rich man's wife, why would I have asked to break up?"
In the end, Chang Yi confirms what she said: "She dumped me. I'm the one who can't let go."
Sweet Indulgence
Han Ye, the entertainment industry's most popular star, comes from a privileged family and is aloof and cold.
He never has dating rumors and never films kissing scenes. Pure and detached, like an immortal, he's widely considered the celebrity fans can trust the most.
Yet unscrupulous marketing accounts keep hounding him with explosive rumors: secret dates with a mysterious woman, a possible secret marriage.
His fans calmly debunk the rumors, until they see a short video of him tipsy, his peach-blossom eyes flushed as he begs a woman for a kiss.
Fans: My face hurts. I really want to find out who that girl is.
Then their idol volunteers some information:
"We've known each other for a long time, but she never recognizes me. Once, I had a cold and a sore throat. I was standing right in front of her, and she texted me to remember to take my medicine on time."
Fans: Aaaah, that smile is so loving! What a cute girl! How do we keep from shipping them?
2. Ye Miaomiao has face blindness and is sensitive, insecure, and timid.
Her one great feat was rescuing a handsome young man from a gang of thugs.
From then on, she had a boyfriend who wouldn't leave her alone.
"Sis, you didn't recognize me again."
On his birthday,
she gave him a sketchbook filled with drawings of him, and he had her name tattooed on his collarbone.
They were strangers who had crossed paths by chance, just passing through each other's lives, but she became the one who made his heart skip at first sight.
3. The X video platform's Chinese-style dance creator, Sanshuisanshui, is beautiful, sweet-voiced, and warm and healing when she smiles.
Her first livestream, awaited eagerly by a million fans, is finally here. On camera, the shy and well-behaved girl thanks a donor:
"Thank you, Sanshuisanshui Goddess, for accepting my proposal..."
"Whose proposal did you accept?"
Han Ye appears on camera and pulls her into his arms with intense possessiveness.
Mystery solved: She's the girl from the video!
Fan group:
"!! Perk [Photo] Spotted our wild idol at a dessert shop."
"He smiled at her. Such a sweet smile. I'm so jealous."
"I'm dying. What's it like to not get recognized by your girlfriend and get rejected when you ask for a hug?"
Face-blind, sweet and delicate heroine vs. celebrity younger-brother-type hero
Drunk on Spring Wine
After living abroad for several years, Pei Junyan returns to China to discuss a dating reality show and runs into someone he knows outside the restroom.
The woman is stunning, her figure graceful. Leaning against the wall, she smiles at him nonchalantly. "Mr. Pei, since we're old acquaintances, will you act out a scene with me?"
The news that Pei Junyan and Fei Yumeng have formed a dating-show couple immediately sets the internet ablaze.
[Shocking! A once absurdly wealthy fan-wife and her cold, heartless idol husband? Dating?!]
[How did Fei Yumeng, who isn't even famous enough to rank among the B-list, manage to get together with our dream man?]
[She threw herself at him shamelessly back then, and he wasn't interested. Now that they've been paired up, she'll surely make a mess of things. Girls, get ready to attack.]
But when the show airs
[Ah, Fei Yumeng is so gentle and so good at taking care of people.]
[She's so beautiful. Even without makeup, she's gorgeous. I'm so jealous.]
[They have so much chemistry. Does Mr. Pei like her? He's so obedient and sweet. I love them so much.]
Thanks to the show, Fei Yumeng wins over viewers and becomes a sensation. Endorsements, scripts, and other opportunities come her way, and her schedule is packed.
Until she and Pei Junyan start working together an unusual number of times, and photos and fan edits of them flood the internet, along with comments urging them to get together.
A reporter asks, "What do you think of netizens wanting you and Mr. Pei to become a couple?"
Fei Yumeng curls her red lips into a smile. "Those must be fake netizens. Who's paying for all those bots? Are they afraid I won't be obscure enough?"
As soon as she gets home, someone blocks her at the door. The man's eyes are red, his expression cold and gloomy. "You use me and then kick me to the curb? This time, how about I chase after you?"
Theme: Stay positive, and life will become even better!
One of my favorite quotes is, after you have been hurt, you can never forgive. Instead of dwelling on the past and being unable to get out of it, I want to start over again. What happened to ten years? I still have the first ten years in the future, the second, the third, and the fourth. Life is so beautiful, don't waste your time on people and things that are not worth it.
If he hasn't cheated on you, he's a good man, he really is. Not cheating is something that should be included in a relationship. To judge the quality of a relationship depends on the dedication and responsibility of the two people. Nowadays, people have really low expectations. If you don't cheat and ask for forgiveness, you are a good person, and it is also funny. When you do something wrong, you should apologize and ask for forgiveness. It was a matter of course, but now it becomes a plus. In a relationship, a man ignores his partner for a long time and does not care about his partner. This is an unequal love in itself. What is the use of this kind of love? After a breakup, they would use tricks behind their backs to sabotage their ex's second relationship. This kind of behavior is terrifying even thinking about it.
No matter how much the male protagonist does, he is still a scumbag in my eyes. You said that you went to please the Meng family in order to please Jiang Ying, so you allowed the rumors to spread and the female protagonist to be bullied. Is this also your attempt to please? I don't understand why you want to please the Meng family. Why should the heroine be harmed because of your own actions? Your failure to defend the heroine from the beginning shows that you seem to be trying to please Jiang Ying for the heroine's sake, but in fact you are just seeking peace of mind for yourself. Making decisions without telling the heroine, letting outside rumors spread, and allowing your family and friends to bully you are all real harm. Also, if you want to use Weibo to ask for reconciliation, then honestly post what you did in the past and the hurt the heroine suffered. What does it mean to post flattering behaviors? Do you dare to admit your mistakes in front of the public? Are you planning to use public opinion to kidnap the heroine by posting some flattering behaviors?
Ten years of cynicism and bullying, can you forgive me?
I choked up when I saw the heroine feeling pitiful for the hero. You have suffered so many grievances, and the hero has yet to clarify for you in the circle and save your reputation. He was scolded by his brother because he was stupid and hurt you, and you still feel pity for him????? What's so pitiful about him? He hasn't apologized yet. He only shirks his responsibilities. He still hasn't made up for the grievances you suffered.
I think it's normal for the heroine to like a scumbag, but she is ready to forgive the scumbag without changing anything, and she thinks the harm caused by the scumbag is excusable. I find it incredible. Please wake up, because the scumbag is not doing it for your own good. He is just trying to impress himself. It's really for your own good that he would have such no boundaries in dating your mother and stepmother. The rumors about Bai Yueguang have caused you to be ridiculed. For your own good, I will let your mother bully you and make you have such a bad reputation in the social circle. How pitiful is he? If he really knows his mistake, he will apologize honestly and openly, and he will not make small tricks behind his back, which is completely villainous behavior. It's really pitiful that if you know your fault, you won't look for the eldest brother of the Song family to cause you to be so scolded by netizens, and you won't come out to clarify. You only dare to secretly and deliberately ask the screenwriter to write his drama to make him suffer. Mistress, please wake up. This man has only allowed you to be scolded. He still dares not to admit his mistakes. He will not clarify for you and save your reputation. He will only be moved by himself and act pitiful to make his brother turn around and call you cold-blooded.
It's a pity that Song Yuan finally understood his true feelings. I'm afraid he won't have a chance. I hope he can have a good relationship and ending.
Personally, I feel that the heroine has done something wrong. She still loves the hero so much in her heart, and she also knows that she will be with him in the end. She has taken revenge for so long, why should she keep torturing the hero? One moment gives people hope, the next second makes people despair. Over and over again, the hero has sunk to dust, and the heroine is still pretentious, but she does not want them to be together in the end.
So what the scumbag is posting on Weibo now is just his behavior to please the heroine, and not the wrong things he did himself?
Ahhhh, I hate the heroine's family so much. The male protagonist is also speechless...
