Season Five

1. That summer after the college entrance exams, good student Shen Yu did something she probably shouldn't have. She secretly dated Xie Xinzhao, a transfer student staying at her home, then dumped him. Even late in their relationship, Xie Xinzhao still seemed like the handsome, aloof darling of heaven to everyone else. But only Shen Yu knew that, where nobody could see, he depended on her so much he could barely control himself. In Shen Yu's room, they held hands, hugged, and kissed. The boy's first stirrings of love burned bright and lasted as long as summer. After their breakup, Xie Xinzhao went abroad soon after and vanished without a trace. Once Shen Yu confirmed that Xie Xinzhao's phone number had been disconnected, she began using it as a diary, sending it all her innermost thoughts, even though every message was followed by the words "Failed to send." Gradually, it became a habit. Seven years later, after a hugely successful concert tour, Shen Yu celebrated with her colleagues over dinner. She lost a game and was dared to call her ex-boyfriend and ask to get back together. Remembering the page full of "Failed to send" messages, Shen Yu confidently dialed Xie Xinzhao's old number. After three rings, someone picked up. "..." Shen Yu's mind went suddenly blank. After a brief silence, the other person tentatively spoke into the phone. "Xiao..." At the familiar voice, Shen Yu hurriedly hung up. 2. After they got back together, Shen Yu realized her boyfriend's condition seemed to have gotten worse. For example: Shen Yu mentioned that her new colleague was handsome. Xie Xinzhao's expression was unreadable. "Who's better-looking, me or him?" Shen Yu left without saying goodbye. Xie Xinzhao said wistfully, "Is Xiao Yu going to abandon me again?" Faced with a man who insisted on clinging to her even in the middle of summer, Shen Yu asked cautiously, "Could we give each other a little space?" Xie Xinzhao looked crestfallen. "Does Xiao Yu not like me anymore?" Shen Yu: ...How am I supposed to respond to this act? Reading guide: 1. Quiet and aloof heroine x clingy, jealous hero. 1v1, each other's first love. 2.

To outsiders, the second daughter of the Liang family and the young master of the Cheng family have nothing to do with each other. At the bar, Liang Jinyue is all smiles with a handsome stranger she's just met. Across the room, Cheng Jiayan chats and laughs with his friends, downing one glass after another. No one knows that after the drinks run dry and the night grows quiet, the two of them head into the same room. He asks her, "How was the guy you met tonight?" She smiles, leans over to kiss him, and says, "Not quite as good as you." 2. Liang Jinyue always thought there was no love between her and Cheng Jiayan, just a fling between a man and a woman. Until the day she decided to end things. "Sure, toss me aside as soon as you're done with me," Cheng Jiayan scoffs, pretending not to care. The next morning, Liang Jinyue wakes up and finds Cheng Jiayan sitting on the sofa. An ashtray is piled high with cigarette butts, and his bloodshot eyes show he hasn't slept all night. "You can't do this," he says, each word measured. Bonus scene: While the eldest Liang daughter and the eldest Cheng son were dating, the second Liang daughter and the youngest Cheng son were something like partners in crime. Back then, Liang Jinyue followed her older sister everywhere. When her sister was on a date, she had to hang out with Cheng Jiayan. "Cheng Jiayan, do you think dating is actually fun?" Liang Jinyue mutters, sighing as she watches her sister. Cheng Jiayan: "Probably." Liang Jinyue: "Then do you think kissing is any good?" Cheng Jiayan swallows nervously. "I don't know." The next second, Liang Jinyue kisses him first, then shakes her head. "Not much fun." Cheng Jiayan is horrified. "That was my first kiss!" Liang Jinyue frowns. "Don't act like you suffered so much. It wasn't my first kiss either, was it?" Cheng Jiayan: "..."

Her lifelong nemesis, Pei Yang, had been in a car accident, suffered a head injury, and was lying in the hospital in a confused state. Pei Yang was an orphan, raised by the Gu family as their adopted son until his biological grandfather took him back when he came of age. During Gu Hanshu's glamorous youth, Pei Yang served as both her bodyguard and her butler. He ruined countless potential romances and imposed countless rules on her, making him her number one enemy.

He stared straight at Gu Hanshu. Gu Hanshu had a sudden idea: this was her chance to get revenge. She told Pei Yang that she was his new girlfriend, that he loved her so much he couldn't help himself, and that he would do anything she asked. After hearing Gu Hanshu's invented story, Pei Yang, who had been keeping everyone at arm's length since waking up, fell silent for a moment. Then he said just four words: "I believe you."
