A Charming Guest in the Southern City

Next up: Why Did You Take So Long to Come Get Me, Your Majesty? (Ancient Times to Modern Day)

Rong Qin makes one misstep, and the male actor she personally built into a star grows too big for his boots and takes most of her staff with him to a rival company.

Furious, she spends the afternoon ranting at the sea from her private beach. Then, after a surge of waves, she finds a gorgeous man in ancient clothes washed up on the sand.

The moment he opens his eyes, the man in ancient clothes clings tightly to her. “Sister, why did you take so long to come get me? I missed you so much!”

Rong Qin brings him home. Looking at that breathtaking face, she can't help feeling tempted. “Stick with your big sister, and I'll make sure you eat well and live in comfort.”

Fu Chenxing looks obedient, but thinks to himself: I'll humor her for now and see how things go. Make money, then restore the kingdom!

After a year and a half away from the limelight, Rong Qin returns to the top with Fu Chenxing, setting the internet ablaze with a short period-style music video.

Fu Chenxing becomes the year's hottest newcomer, winning countless fans with his superb acting, stunning looks, and professional dedication to focusing on his career instead of promoting a CP.

Until someone films him trapping Rong Qin in a corner, upset because she came late, and shouting, “Why did you take so long to come get me? Do you know I had no one to come get me?”

At first,

Fu Chenxing: If I can still make money, I'll keep at it. Restoring the kingdom takes a lot, a lot of money.

Rong Qin: Good boy, this isn't a money tree, it's a treasure trove.

Later,

Fu Chenxing: I'm obsessed with women and have no interest in restoring the kingdom.

Rong Qin: I'm obsessed with men and just want to retire.

The Beloved Beauty of South City

From the age of sixteen to twenty-two, he was the most important person in her life.

At twenty-two, on that night of torrential rain, she sacrificed her greatest love to save his life.

From twenty-two to twenty-six, she lived like a nun, keeping herself pure and desire-free, just to hear each year that he was still alive, far away overseas.

At twenty-six, her husband, whom she had married for political reasons, finally couldn't stand her helping her first love rise to the top. He divorced her, turning her from a renowned beauty of South City into its biggest joke.

Three months after her divorce, she finally discovers that he is none other than Xu Qingchi, the third-generation heir to the Xu family, rumored to be surrounded by scandals and admirers year-round. “Mr. Xu, do you take pure, young women who have been married before?”

Xu Qingchi smiles, as elegant and handsome as when they first met. “Oh? What a wonderful offer.”

Later, Xu Qingchi breaks with the Xu family, nearly making Old Madam Xu furious enough to change her will. Every bit of it is for the divorced daughter of the now-bankrupt Lin family.

Those who don't understand laugh at him for being foolish. “She's just a divorced woman. No matter how beautiful she is, can she compare to the Xu family's vast fortune? He'll regret it one day!”

When Lin Naiyi hears this, she gets so angry that she scratches and claws at Xu Qingchi. “Gege~ You won't regret choosing a twice-married woman, will you?”

Xu Qingchi pulls her close and soothes her. “Nannan, they don't understand. You're the precious beauty at the very heart of my life, the one I can't afford to offend.”

South City has a beloved beauty, who captivated the city at sixteen. For her, Xu Qingchi would give up the entire city.
