Synopsis:

While on a business trip, Song Nianshi met a part-time waiter at her hotel. The young man wore a white shirt, washed so often it had gone threadbare. His features were refined and handsome, so lovely she couldn't look away.

After drinking, she inexplicably tapped the counter, opened WeChat's QR scanner, and gave the blushing young man a tender smile. "Little brother, add me on WeChat. Big sister is gentle and knows how to take care of you."

To earn a promotion and a raise, Song Nianshi worked day and night after returning from her trip. Only occasionally did she think of the boyfriend she'd had for just three days, his eyes seeming to ripple with water, his fingers tense and hot as he added her on WeChat, how he had gently rubbed her back the night she drank too much, and how he'd taken her to eat the most delicious yangchun noodles.

To keep those memories simple and beautiful, Song Nianshi cruelly blocked him on every platform.

Later, the project Song Nianshi was in charge of was ready to launch, but she was unhappy with the partner's architectural designer. Someone introduced her to an award-winning up-and-coming designer whose style perfectly matched her requirements.

As Song Nianshi waited in the hotel lobby for her new partner, she felt everyone's attention being drawn to someone. She looked up and saw her ex-boyfriend already at her side. His eyes seemed to brim with water as he asked, "Sis, add me on WeChat? I promise I won't pretend not to know you!"

The Grand Princess's Divorce Today?

Synopsis 1:

On the day Princess Baozhang Shen Siyan married, ten miles of wedding finery filled the city.

Her husband, Yun Yan, was a refined and handsome top scholar, a gentleman as polished as jade and inkstone.

Only after they married did Shen Siyan learn that Yun Yan had cherished a woman in his heart for years, and that she was now being kept outside the household.

Not wanting to disappoint her father, the emperor, who had arranged the marriage, Shen Siyan set aside her pride and treated Yun Yan with even greater tenderness, caring for him day and night when he fell ill.

In the end, all she got was her husband's pregnant mistress barging into the princess's residence and trampling her dignity underfoot.

Her disappointment finally reached its limit. Shen Siyan slapped a divorce letter against Yun Yan's face. Yet the top scholar, who had always been cold toward her, blocked her way, regret and reluctance showing on his face as he said, "I will never abandon my wife!"

Synopsis 2:

For the first eighteen years of her life, Princess Baozhang Shen Siyan had everything going her way and was adored by all.

Then the throne changed hands, the court fell into turmoil, and her husband betrayed her. The most precious flower in all of Great Jin fell into the mud overnight.

For the sake of her frail elder brother and her young nephew, she gritted her teeth. Though she was terrified deep down, she put her pride aside and entered Zhou Jingzhi's residence.

It was said that this powerful minister, though kind-faced, was ruthless, with a mind impossible to fathom. Everyone in court feared him.

Shen Siyan thought they had always been on good terms, so surely he wouldn't make things difficult for a woman. But she was wrong. It seemed all he wanted was to humiliate her and make the Grand Princess bow and scrape before the powerful.

Synopsis 3:

A still heart shines with tranquil light. Before Zhou Jingzhi returned to secular life, his Buddhist name was Chengzhan.

As a boy, his love-mad mother sent him to a temple to cultivate. He thought he had long since severed his ties to the mortal world. Then Emperor Jinming entrusted him with praying for Princess Baozhang on her wedding day. As he watched Shen Siyan put on her blazing red wedding gown, her slender waist swaying with each step and her pale wrists showing beneath the gauze, he crushed a Buddhist prayer bead.

His heart was still clouded by worldly desire. How could he speak of purity? From then on, Zhou Jingzhi willingly descended into depravity, and a carefully plotted plan to steal her husband began to unfold.

Starry River, Blazing Hot

1

He Yeqiao was the campus heartthrob of A University. Wherever he went, whether to a classroom building, the library, cafeteria, or gym, girls followed him. Countless love letters came his way, and their approaches ran the gamut.

One day, an anonymous alumnus posted on the campus forum: He Yeqiao, whom none of A University's girls can win over, has a one-sided love for someone he can't have. Thinking of her hurts, and reaching for her wounds him. After that, people commented on the post every day: Has He Yeqiao's secret crush finally blossomed into love?

2

The mystery was only solved on the day He Yeqiao stood on the highest podium in the world. At the nationally televised awards ceremony, he reverently kissed the ring on his little finger.

News that He Yeqiao, whose popularity rivaled that of a celebrity, had married young quickly made headlines across the media and topped Weibo's trending list. A hugely popular fan page titled "Who Exactly Did He Yeqiao Marry?" racked up a hundred million views in no time.

3

Then one day, the media photographed He Yeqiao holding a woman's hand at the airport. He was known for his cold expression, but kept turning to smile warmly at her, his eyes shining as if filled with stars. The news that He Yeqiao's secret wife was his coach, Luo Fanxing, once again set the media ablaze.

He Yeqiao: "Luo Chenxing, do you know? In the long, dark years of my youth, you were my only guiding light. When I was young and troubled, you were the one I kept hidden in my heart."

In short, the years are long, but worth waiting for.
