On the day the country announced that same-sex couples could marry, Jiang Yi had only one thought: she had to marry Shen Siyun.
Only marriage could tie that woman down and make her hers.
During the month Shen Siyun was abroad on a business trip, Jiang Yi, who had been her lover for two years, made a reckless decision.
She and her best friend, who also needed a marriage of convenience, got fake marriage certificates and even held a wedding banquet for all their friends and family.
The day after the wedding, Shen Siyun appeared in her apartment, not the slightest hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Jiang Yi, can you stop being so childish?"
"Go get a divorce."
"I don't care what your best friend thinks. You're mine now, and you dare to cheat on me?!"
"If I get divorced, will you marry me?"
"No."
Jiang Yi turned that answer over in her mind hundreds of times, and shed tears over it on countless nights.
"Then wish us well."
"In your dreams."
*
As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Siyun was capable and accustomed to getting whatever she wanted. She had always been proud and used to looking down on everyone around her. She never imagined she'd end up falling for the lover she'd been with for two years.
Jiang Yi: "These fishnets are for my wife to see. Are you my wife? Then why are you looking?"
Shen Siyun: "..."
Shen Siyun refused to believe it. She wouldn't accept that she had lost her charm, much less that her little lover could stop loving her just like that.
She brought her lover home after someone got her drunk, only to see her staring at Shen Siyun with bleary, drunken eyes.
Shen Siyun: And she says she doesn't love me?
Her lover threw herself at her, and Shen Siyun was on the verge of losing herself in the moment.
At the crucial moment, though, her lover pushed her away. "Get away. I want my wife."
Shen Siyun froze on the spot.
Once sober, her lover looked at her with a cold, indifferent gaze.
"My wife loves me very much. Don't use those cheap tricks to drive a wedge between us, President Shen. They won't work."
Shen Siyun flew into a rage right there.

New novel: Sister, Don't Hold Back
When He Jianxue was twenty-nine, her mother and adopted younger sister died one after the other. She was left disabled in both legs and lost everything almost overnight, reduced to barely surviving at home.
The moment she lost the ability to walk, every honor she had earned slipped away.
Her sister's death was her greatest pain, one that nothing could ease.
Until a slender, petite figure appeared before her, took her hand, and held it to her cheek. "Sister He, your hand is so cold."
As He Jianxue lay awake all night, unable to sleep after losing her sister, the young woman climbed into her arms and comforted her. "If you don't mind, you can think of me as your little sister tonight."
He Jianxue never imagined she would have another little sister in this life.
Perhaps because the girl was so good to her, she gradually realized she was developing feelings for this younger sister that went beyond sisterly affection.
/
Sheng Tingmian grew up singing opera with her aunt at a theater. When she was eighteen, she moved with her aunt to an old neighborhood in Yan City.
There, she met a disabled woman.
All she knew was that the woman was the eldest daughter of the He family, with a noble and refined air. Sheng Tingmian secured an investment from her, saving her aunt's troupe from shutting down.
Later, when she heard that the woman's younger sister had died, she ran to comfort her out of sympathy. She never expected the woman to ask her to call her "Big Sister."
The woman grew more and more indulgent toward her. Sheng Tingmian knew she had become an emotional substitute for her sister, and planned to spend her whole life being her big sister's good little sister.
But gradually, she realized her big sister seemed to have less-than-sisterly feelings for her.
She would kiss her after drinking, her red lips lingering as she called her by her nickname.
She would secretly kiss the pearl tassel that had fallen from her when no one was around.
She would be her most devoted audience member when Sheng Tingmian performed onstage.
And especially after her legs healed, she wouldn't let her date anyone else.
Sheng Tingmian was young, but she wasn't stupid or naive. When she saw her big sister suppressing her feelings for fear of scaring her, she decided to be honest and break the tension. "Big Sister, don't hold back. You can come over and kiss me."
She didn't just want to be her big sister's "little sister," either.

It's 2024, I should see Song Xin's solo article in my lifetime, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Then just treat it as a Xin Song member's money
I read a review saying that compasses are the most round in the world, so I read it with all my heart. All I can say is that compasses are not as round as they are big.
Spreading flowers. This kind of ancient bloody crematorium that tortures the body and mind is really to my taste.
If the deputy CP were to re-open a crematorium literature, it would definitely be cool!!
In fact, Song has always treated Song like a child. She couldn't let go of her ex-wife, and her change of heart towards Xin was only because Xin blocked the knife and knife for her ex-wife.
Always treat her like a child, big brother, force him to do it, I'll go
It feels like the sub-CP is forcing him, touching is not love. I feel that Song finally got back together with her because she blocked a knife to steal the ashes of his ex-wife. In fact, the author does not need to write Man Qing to death. In fact, the sub-CP be is quite good.
Song probably didn't want to hurt anyone who loved him anymore. His ex-wife had dealt a huge blow to him. When he saw him getting hurt because of his ex-wife's urn, he might have let go of those obsessions. To sum up, I just feel that Song agreed to his pursuit because he didn't want anyone who loved him to be hurt anymore. It is very possible that, in fact, Song did not fall in love with Xin, but was deceiving himself, or this was originally a dream that Xin had before his death, and she did not step off the operating table at all. Perhaps all of this was just a fantasy before her death, because it made no sense that something was wrong with Song. He was hiding his emotions, and when he saw these things, he would have some strange emotions
