Long Time No See

#Warm and resilient x cold and devoted / straight-A straight girl x struggling top-tier star / secret crush comes true / reunited after breaking up In her first year of high school, Qiao Yi sat next to Lin Kangjun. Lin Kangjun treated her like his errand girl all day long. He copied her homework, copied her test answers, and asked her about every school activity. She was fed up, so during a break, while Lin Kangjun was outside playing basketball, she switched seats with a friend. Who knew that when Lin Kangjun came back, he would tap her new deskmate's desk without a word and say, "Switch with me." Someone objected and asked Lin Kangjun why he insisted on sitting next to her. Did he have a crush on her? Lin Kangjun: "Everyone else would be tempted by my good looks. She's the only one who wouldn't." Qiao Yi fell silent. In her heart, she thought...You really overestimate me. Years after the two fell out, Qiao Yi, once the top student, had become just another overworked office drone grinding through a 996 schedule. Lin Kangjun, who used to be a poor student, had risen to become a top-tier star, famous in film, television, and music. Before Lin Kangjun's blockbuster premiered, their classmates were all begging in the group chat for tickets to the premiere. Then a friend turned to her and said Lin Kangjun had privately given them two tickets, and asked if she wanted to go together. Qiao Yi declined. Back then, she'd said Lin Kangjun would be a failure for the rest of his life. Now he'd made it, and she didn't want to show up just to get humiliated. But the face-slapping came without warning. The next time she saw Lin Kangjun was in his van. Her head was wrapped in a floral scarf, she was wearing a thick down jacket and looked as swollen as a fat old lady. Worst of all, she was holding a bag of dirty clothes that smelled of period blood. Then she heard Lin Kangjun say in a hoarse voice, "Long time no see."

Jing Hui was framed and caught in bed with a man. Her lover, Xie Xi, was the heir of a centuries-old aristocratic family and the most eligible bachelor in Jiangnan. Everyone said Jing Hui had struck it lucky. Given her background, even becoming Xie Xi's concubine would have been an incredible stroke of fortune. But Jing Hui had lived another life and knew that Xie Xi and Miss Meng were in love with each other. She didn't want to marry him, so she politely declined. "I will accept nothing less than the status of your principal wife." She never imagined Xie Xi would grant her that status. But after they married, he treated her like a stranger. Jing Hui took it in stride, and they treated each other with polite respect. Three years later, Meng Yiru divorced her husband. Xie Xi found her a place to live outside the home, and stopped coming back at night. When Jing Hui heard the news, she thought it over, then set off for the country estate, leaving behind a letter of divorce and four quiet words: The title is yours again. But just as she had settled down on the kang, Xie Xi stormed in, cloaked in an icy chill. His face was like black ice. In the firelight, the pristine sheet of paper instantly curled into ashes. Looking at her with a thousand stars in his eyes, he said sharply, "Once a title has been granted, even a thief wouldn't dare take it. How could you presume to change it?" #I waited two lifetimes to finally hold you in my arms Theme: A good relationship is one in which both people help each other become their best selves
