Heartless

Ten years ago, they first met at flight school. Fu Zhou reached out to Ning Chi of his own accord, grinning boldly. “Let's get to know each other in advance, future boyfriend.”

Ten years later, their night flight landed in Nanjing.

Ning Chi's next flight assignment had Fu Zhou as its captain.

They ran into each other downstairs at the hotel.

“Long time no see.”

“Looking forward to working with you.”

Their manner was distant, as if they had never been anything but strangers.

They met again by chance, though neither had expected it.

Ning Chi knew perfectly well: perhaps he was the heartless one.

-

In public, Ning Chi was polite but distant, just a colleague who didn't know Fu Zhou well.

In private, Fu Zhou's name was a forbidden word, a secret Ning Chi kept locked behind his lips.

No one knew how deeply they had once loved each other.

During their freshman summer break, in a Xiamen guesthouse, their mingled breaths had given rise to endless passion and tenderness.

Ning Chi vaguely remembered a night afterward when Fu Zhou had seriously asked him about their future.

-

When an old private video was made public within the airline, Ning Chi faced a grounding penalty. Seeing Fu Zhou's dark expression, he thought the man had come to kick him while he was down, but Fu Zhou firmly stopped him at the base entrance.

Fu Zhou looked down at him, fingers gripping his chin until it reddened. His manner was as forceful as it had been years ago. “Is that really the kind of person you think I am?”

Everyone thinks you're the one who loves me deeply. The truth is, I'm the one who can't let you go.

-

Passion hidden beneath heated breaths.

A magnificent, hopeless surrender.

One sunrise of yours sent its light across thousands of kilometers and illuminated a corner of my darkness.

From then on, my world shone like daylight.

★ Coming Soon 1: Second Fall

In his previous life, Lin Chi fell in love with Shen Cheng at first sight.

At a gala where all eyes were on them, he demanded that Shen Cheng marry him. Shen Cheng silently agreed.

During their three years of marriage, Shen Cheng was the perfect lover, but Lin Chi never felt a trace of love from him.

Shen Cheng never got jealous or angry. He didn't seem... quite human, either.

Exhausted, Lin Chi wrote on the last page of their anniversary album: “I don't regret it, but let's not meet again in our next lives.”

The year they divorced, Shen Cheng got into a car accident. By chance, Lin Chi found his diary and learned how hard Shen Cheng had tried to hide his illness and obsession to keep their marriage going, struggling to act like a normal person in front of him.

In the seven years before he met Lin Chi, everyone was terrified of Shen Cheng and avoided him.

-

After an accident, Lin Chi transmigrated back seven years. The highway stretched empty in both directions, achingly desolate.

He looked up and saw Shen Cheng smoking in his luxury car.

Shen Cheng glanced at him through the window, then drove off, leaving him stranded on the road.

Lin Chi: “What the hell??”

You heartless bastard!

To make up for the regrets he and Shen Cheng had in his past life, Lin Chi did everything he could to get assigned to Shen Cheng's dorm room.

For Shen Cheng's birthday, he gave him a gold-inlaid clock. Shen Cheng turned pale and refused it.

When Shen Cheng moved, Lin Chi brought four of his buddies to celebrate with him, only for Shen Cheng to coldly chase them out.

After clinging to Shen Cheng for a whole semester without making any progress, Lin Chi regretfully concluded that they really weren't right for each other.

Just before the holiday, Lin Chi went to pack up his dorm room, carrying a heavy heart. Then he heard Shen Cheng on the phone, his voice filled with a familiar, restrained obsession.

“When I'm with him, I can hardly act like a normal person.”

“I'm afraid he'll think I'm being unreasonable if I get jealous.”

“If he does that again, I can't promise I won't lock him up.”

Lin Chi: Damn.

Isn't that what Shen Cheng wrote in his diary in his previous life?!

★ Coming Soon 2: After the Divorce, My Ex and I Went Viral on a Dating Show

Yu Qingshi and Pei Siyi were together for seven years, but in the end, Pei Siyi's busy career kept them apart so much that they had no choice but to split up.

Two years after their divorce, Pei Siyi had become a top-tier star, while Yu Qingshi was notorious for riding other people's coattails to stay relevant.

They were both invited to appear on the same dating show.

Before filming:

“What kind of nobody keeps using a top-tier star to get attention!”

“A pretty face should know its place!”

“If my idol even looks at him, I'll pull my head off and let Yu Qingshi kick it around!”

Yu Qingshi: Don't drag me into this. We're divorced, and I'm not interested.

During filming, while the other guests were busy competing for the spotlight and showing off their talents, Yu Qingshi took a laid-back approach and unexpectedly won the hearts of all the male guests.

With his own efforts, he formed four wildly popular couples with four different male guests.

That night, two trending topics appeared out of nowhere.

#WhyIsHeTheOnlyOneWithNoChemistryWithPeiSiyi#

#WhichOneOfThemIsOutOfTheOthersLeague#

The moment he saw the trending topics, the top-tier star who had been divorced for two years finally couldn't sit still.

*

In the eyes of his fans, Pei Siyi was an aloof, unapproachable man who never made the first move.

Only Yu Qingshi knew just how annoying Pei Siyi could be.

He would even drive through the rain himself to pick Yu Qingshi up when he stayed late filming an endorsement.

“Isn't that brand going too far? What kind of endorsement has to be filmed in the middle of the night?”

“Is that drama really so important? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to take the role?”

“Qingshi, are you getting too close to them?!”

Fans were left stunned. Then someone dug up undeniable proof that the two had divorced, and their sweet couple pairing took the internet by storm overnight.

-

When Yu Qingshi heard about it, he was afraid Pei Siyi's fans would think he was using him to get attention. So he posted a statement in the middle of the night, saying he and Pei Siyi weren't close and were just ordinary coworkers.

That night, as Yu Qingshi was about to go on a date with one of the male guests, Pei Siyi stopped him in the parking lot.

“Take my car.”

“?”

Pei Siyi sneered. “I want to see who's so fond of flirting with someone else's wife.”

Yu Qingshi: ...Who's your wife?!

Theme: People in love will find each other again.
