Shaoyi was blessed with a classically beautiful face, a delicate temperament, and an Best Actress award as soon as she debuted.

Beloved by everyone since childhood, someone like her still suffered one setback after another with Pei Guanyan.

One day, she couldn't help asking, "Pei Guanyan, why don't you marry me?"

"Marry you?" Pei Guanyan smiled, pinching her slender chin. "First, take a look at who you are."

She broke up with him and ended her contract in one clean sweep, then rushed to Greece with her script. After that, she vanished without a trace.

Her friends worried for Pei Guanyan, but he lowered his eyes and smiled. "It's not as if I need one more."

*

When they met again, Shaoyi, a washed-up actress who hadn't appeared on the big screen in years, had made a comeback. She returned with an award and was more popular than ever. At another awards ceremony, a reporter asked how it felt to win Best Actress again and receive a marriage proposal.

Shaoyi faced the cameras, her vivid red lips like a gorgeous, blooming rose.

"I don't need one more. Whether it's an award or someone proposing to me." She didn't need one more of either.

She tossed her hand, and an emerald snake-shaped engagement ring vanished into the night.

That night, rain poured down at the awards ceremony. Someone happened to see him:

At the theater entrance, Pei Guanyan was soaked through and searching desperately for the ring he'd earned only after kneeling before her grandfather for three days.

"I want you to grind down your vicious claws, along with your arrogance and prejudice.

"I want you to willingly keep me in your heart."

"Until then, I will never love you."

Roses in Four Seasons

[Updates daily at midnight sharp]

Guan Hua was raised by her grandparents and grew up completely spoiled, her every smile and frown bewitching. She was adored in elite circles.

But she could never win Gu Cheng over.

When something happened to the Guan family, Guan Hua was so worried she ended up in the hospital. She called Gu Cheng, but he didn't pick up.

All she got that time was a trending topic flooding the internet: he was whispering intimately with an unfamiliar woman, the atmosphere between them ambiguous.

On the day she decided to study abroad, Guan Hua threw away the gift she hadn't given him and the journal where she'd recorded every little thing about him.

*

Someone asked why the young woman who was always hovering around Gu Cheng hadn't been seen in so long. He smiled faintly.

"She'll be back after playing around for a couple of days."

Later, he learned she had gone all the way to New York.

His heart suddenly felt empty.

*

When they met again, Guan Hua had become a director with a top newcomer award to her name.

A photo of her holding hands with Gu Cheng spread online, and the topic shot to the top of the trending charts overnight.

Sitting in the director's chair in front of the monitors, Guan Hua casually composed a post:

"I don't know him, there's no story, and I have nothing to explain."

Ding-dong.

The notification for Gu Cheng's special follow sounded.

He saw the post and smiled bitterly.

[@Gu Cheng: The young lady has a temper. Please be patient with her. //@Guan Hua: I don't know him, nothing to explain, no story.]

The whole internet: ????

"Roses are divine. They teach me to willingly fall into fate."

"From then on, I cherish every fleeting moment in this world."

When Rain Meets Spring

In Nancheng, people say that the Lou family is rich and powerful, with a magnificent estate, but the one who lives alone halfway up the mountain is utterly unlike the rest of the family.

They say he's frail and has to rely on medicine to stay alive despite his young age, and that he's so aloof he's truly like a flower on a mountaintop.

Yet a fearless young woman went up the mountain to look after him. Her name was Shang Zhi Que, a girl with no particular status.

It's cold halfway up the mountain, and the frail Fourth Master Lou is so cold and unapproachable that everyone assumes the girl won't last long before heading back down.

They wait and wait. Finally, one day, Shang Zhi Que doesn't return by the time she usually comes down the mountain. Everyone assumes they've fallen out.

But then, around a corner, they see Fourth Master Lou, who hasn't come down the mountain in over ten years, walking steadily toward them. Smiling, he brushes the fluff from the top of the young woman's head.

"Come on, let's go home."

~

Shang Zhi Que reunites with Lou Xiu when she's out of options. He's handsome and gentle. Though he loves the cold, he turns the heat up as high as it will go for her. He occasionally loses control, but never hurts her. She thinks he's the best man in the world.

~

In the spring of his thirty-second year, Lou Xiu happens to glance out the window and see the young woman playing outside.

She smiles, her eyes shimmering.

When he hears her call, "Fourth Uncle, there's a rabbit outside," he puts away his wine and medicine and smiles at her through the window.

He tells her it's cold outside and to come home soon.

Theme: No matter how difficult things get, keep striving to be good and do good.
