Yun Chao and Lu Yisi are famous in their circle as sworn enemies. They bicker whenever they meet and love seeing each other get into trouble. One day, however, Yun Chao runs into Lu Yisi while he's being pestered by a famous iron lady in the business world. Hearing her threaten Lu Yisi's career and offer him money to go to a hotel with her, Yun Chao feels an unusual pang of sympathy for his nemesis. So, half out of kindness and half to tease him, Yun Chao walks over and greets Lu Yisi: "Hey, honey~" Lu Yisi and the iron lady both freeze. Then she says, "You're dating and didn't tell your family? You really don't respect me as your mother at all." Yun Chao: "Mom?!"

Yun Chao tries to explain: "I was just trying to be a good person." Lu Yisi attempts to clear things up: "Our relationship is clearer than water and whiter than lacquer." The CP fans immediately get it: "Right, their love flows together like water and milk, and they're stuck together like glue and lacquer." To prove their innocence, the two go on a livestreamed variety show. Then, before long, the gossip #LuYisiAndYunChaoHaveBeenSecretlyMarriedForYears# suddenly appears out of nowhere. The CP fans: "Who gets it? We're shipping a real couple who love to hate each other and flirt by bickering!" Lu Yisi and Yun Chao: ...?? With rumors running wild, Yun Chao is fed up, but at least he thinks Lu Yisi is on his side. Until one day, Lu Yisi gets drunk and acts out in public. In front of countless cameras, he wraps his arms around Yun Chao and says in a lingering, tender voice, "Take me home?" Yun Chao: We really are sworn enemies... There's no way to clear things up now. I might as well go get a certificate proving I'm single. Sober again, Lu Yisi helpfully points out: "That only proves you're unmarried right now... Maybe by then, we'll have a new rumor about us getting back together after a breakup ^_^" Yun Chao: Good people really do get what's coming to them.

Everyone else: "!!!" - Upcoming story 2: The Healing Beauty's Runaway Guide [Interstellar] Synopsis: Ming Zhi is a pitiful boy hated by both his parents. Labeled frail and sickly, and in need of quiet rest, he was locked away in a small building with barely any sunlight for more than ten years. He wasn't let out until he was twenty. Before he'd had time to enjoy the sun, he was brought before a man in a wheelchair. Qi Fujing, the Empire's God of War and Marshal, is a highly decorated veteran with countless victories. Once, he was the most sought-after bachelor in all of Interstellar. Then he was gravely wounded in a major battle. Not only has he been confined to a wheelchair ever since, he also suffers from mental power rampages, and no one dares approach him. To show his continued respect for Qi Fujing, the Emperor issues a decree to the Ming family, which has long produced healers, ordering them to send someone to take care of Qi Fujing. The Ming family dares not defy the Emperor, but they don't want to sacrifice a capable child for a marshal with no future. So they remember Ming Zhi, locked away in a tiny building in a secluded corner of the family estate. Ming Zhi is considered the Ming family's good-for-nothing. He's physically weak and inarticulate, and unlike the other Ming children, he wasn't born with healing powers. When he was five, he nearly killed the family's most promising eldest son. After being locked in that small building for more than ten years, he seems to have forgotten how to walk. A good-for-nothing like Ming Zhi is a perfect match for the violent, disabled Qi Fujing. - Qi Fujing sits in his wheelchair with a dark expression and a cold, grim gaze. It always seems as if his mental power is about to run wild. Everyone assumes the Ming family's boy will fear him, and Qi Fujing believes so too. Ming Zhi is pale and frail, easily startled by the slightest disturbance. Qi Fujing really likes seeing him cry. But Ming Zhi isn't afraid of Qi Fujing at all. On the contrary, he feels sorry for the man, who often loses control when his mental power goes berserk... This man was once the god of the entire Empire. During the years he was locked away in the small building, Ming Zhi's only source of information about the outside world was an old, broken radio. On it, he heard countless tales of the legendary military achievements Qi Fujing had earned. He often wondered what this God of War Marshal looked like. The God of War Marshal doesn't have three heads and six arms, but his stern face is imposing and handsome... When they first meet, Ming Zhi thinks that before he leaves, he has to heal Qi Fujing. Such a good person shouldn't have to suffer like this. Ming Zhi knows he isn't a good-for-nothing. He has a level of healing talent the entire Ming family covets. - Six months later, the whole Interstellar is stunned by the news [The Empire's god! Qi Fujing is standing again! He no longer needs a wheelchair, and his mental power rampages are cured!] [Holy crap, the Ming family's healing abilities are that amazing? I heard the one they sent to Marshal Qi was the most useless of them all.] In less than half a day, the whole Interstellar learns that Marshal Qi Fujing has recovered, and is offering a huge reward to search for someone across the entire network: Ming Zhi, who had been by his side, has run away! Later, a barren planet, shrouded in poisonous fog and devoid of all vegetation, suddenly clears up and becomes lush and full of life in no time. Hey, isn't that stunning beauty picking mushrooms on the barren planet the same Ming Zhi the Marshal has been searching for? - Theme: Hard work brings rewards. Live positively and optimistically~
