[1] At sixteen, Shen Yixing moved into the Song family's lavish, extravagant mansion. But the young master of the Song family was always playing tricks on her, cruelly calling her a country bumpkin. That day, the young master bullied Shen Yixing again, leaving her soaked in the rain, wretched and miserable. Just then, a black SUV pulled up in front of her. Song Qinglan got out unhurriedly and held an umbrella over Shen Yixing's head. His voice was languid. "If someone bullies you, fight back. I've got your back." That night, Song Qinglan taught Shen Yixing to give as good as she got. The young master, meanwhile, was made to kneel all night and handwrite "I'm sorry" a thousand times. [2] Song Qinglan is an award-winning Best Actor, showered with praise by the media and revered by countless people as a legend of the screen. He is arrogant and free-spirited, with no one able to catch his eye. The one exception is Shen Yixing, whom he treats with tenderness and protects in every way. Shen Yixing thought she was the only one, too. Then she heard Song Qinglan respond to gossip: "She's just a kid. I'm not a beast." From then on, she put away her presumptuous feelings, never letting even the slightest spark grow. [3] Years later, Shen Yixing and Song Qinglan were worlds apart, and it seemed they could never cross paths again. One day, Shen Yixing attended a blind-date dinner. No one expected Song Qinglan to skip an awards ceremony and rush over through wind and snow. Amid the clinking of glasses, wealthy young men were raising their drinks to Shen Yixing, trying to charm her like peacocks showing off their feathers. Song Qinglan strode straight toward Shen Yixing with a dark expression, his long lashes lowered. "I've had your back all these years. Have you never considered giving me a chance?" Everyone gasped in shock, but Song Qinglan's eyes held only Shen Yixing. He enunciated every word: "You stole a kiss from me back then. Don't you plan to take responsibility?" - Next up is a sweet workplace romance about a secret marriage, "After Running into My Secret Crush at the Blind Date Corner." Blurb: After running into her secret crush at the blind date corner in People's Park, Jiang Yue made the boldest decision of her life and invited him to marry her. More unbelievably, he didn't refuse. For three months after their wedding, they lived like polite roommates, until Jiang Yue joined a new company and saw her direct supervisor, who was also her new husband, Wen Chonglin, in the conference room on her very first day. When they were alone, Jiang Yue thoughtfully took off their matching wedding rings to avoid suspicion. In the matter-of-fact tone of a business partner, she said, "Sorry, I didn't know you worked here. Let's keep our distance from now on." Wen Chonglin swallowed the words "Let's go home together tonight" and looked at her for a long moment before agreeing. Wen Chonglin knew he had married only to appease his elders and couldn't give his wife the love she wanted, so he did his best to make it up to her in other ways. When Jiang Yue fell ill, Wen Chonglin searched the whole city to buy her favorite pastries. When Jiang Yue became a fan of a celebrity, Wen Chonglin, who hated socializing, still went to a banquet just to get her a signed photo of her idol. When Jiang Yue was upset, Wen Chonglin was at a loss, but he still stayed by her side all night without leaving. As time went by, Jiang Yue increasingly felt that Wen Chonglin liked her, and she slowly fell for him, until one day she accidentally overheard him talking to someone else. Impeccably dressed in his suit, the man was as cool and composed as ever as he explained without a hint of emotion, "We don't have feelings for each other. Treating my wife well is my responsibility." Jiang Yue: What? So she'd just been imagining things! Early the next morning, Jiang Yue packed her bags and went home. The moment Wen Chonglin received the news, he dropped everything, left his meeting, and rushed to Jiang Yue's place. When Jiang Yue opened the door, she saw Wen Chonglin drenched in sweat. His gaze locked on her, his deep black eyes glistening with moisture. In a hoarse voice, he asked, "You left without a word. Do you really not want me anymore?" Theme: Keep a positive outlook
