Next up: Stealing Roses [Dating Show], a love-rivalry story Rekindled romance|Radiant and alluring × Abstinent and calculating 1. Ji Yun, the handsome young star of Qing University’s medical school, was like a gentle breeze beneath a bright moon, yet he kept everyone at arm’s length, aloof and untouchable. That was until Fang Ning, a new junior student, arrived in her first year. She had a dazzling smile, and even her pursuit of him was direct and confident: “Everyone says you’re hard to win over, but you can’t know if it’s true until you try.” The aloof beauty willingly let himself be won over, never expecting the junior who was always saying she liked him to end their relationship with a simple, “I’m bored. Let’s break up.” The golden boy in everyone’s eyes cast aside his pride and went abroad. 2. When they met again, Ji Yun, acclaimed as a “master physician,” returned home in glory and was suddenly appointed Fang Ning’s deputy chief. To her surprise, he had amnesia and didn’t remember her! Feeling guilty about the cruel things she’d said back then, Fang Ning kept her distance out of conscience. But he kept interrupting her blind dates and fending off the admirers who flocked around her whenever they got the chance. His expression was calm, but his words earnest: “My family is pressuring me to get married. Since Dr. Fang also needs to get married, we could work together.” Taking advantage of his amnesia, and the fact that he didn’t remember what she’d done, Fang Ning gave him a bewitching smile. “I’m open to working together. Let me kiss you first as a down payment.” He might be cool and reserved, but his lips were burning hot. With such a gorgeous man throwing himself at her, what was conscience? She’d left it to the dogs. 3. A few months later, Fang Ning found a stack of unsent postcards. Her name was written across them in bold, powerful strokes, and the dates ran right up to the eve of Ji Yun’s return. Fang Ning pinned him against the wall, bringing her red lips close to his ear. Her voice was dangerous. “I thought you said you had amnesia. Care to explain?” Ji Yun pinned her hands behind her back and leaned close, his voice warm and husky. “You have to try something new to keep someone who’s gotten bored of you interested.” #I lured a handsome man onto my ship twice, only to discover I was the one who’d been tricked aboard?# Abstinent and aloof · A thousand tricks behind the scenes · Dr. Ji × Radiant and alluring · Heartless · Dr. Fang Sweetness Guide: 1.

The top-liked reply read: Surely everyone will agree when I say “In It Together.” Ye Zhouzhou and Si Ji debuted as a screen couple, an energetic sweet girl paired with a cool, handsome guy. They were so sweet back then that everyone was envious! But later, they practically wore their efforts to avoid each other on their faces. Anyone could tell they must have had a devastating breakup back then. [Crying hard] 1. At opposite ends of a star-studded red carpet, Ye Zhouzhou wore a ball gown with a huge bow and smiled sweetly for the flashing cameras. But when she saw Si Ji, her smile vanished. The man wore a custom black suit, broad-shouldered and slim-waisted, with silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He looked refined and noble. They stared coldly at each other from afar, then turned and walked away without a backward glance. They’d gone their separate ways, each at the top of their game. Once again, they’d given fans fresh material for a popular breakup video. That night, away from prying eyes, the two of them were at each other’s throats in the Ye family’s old home. “So the great movie star Si is home, too.” Trading barbs when they met had been their habit since childhood. “Call me your husband.” Si Ji raised his eyes, his expression calm. Seeing the elders from both families walking over, Ye Zhouzhou squeezed the saccharine word out through gritted teeth: “Husband~” 2. Later, the two of them were invited to the same travel variety show. Ye Zhouzhou, hailed by fans as “the owner of the sweetest smile,” kept beaming at a young, handsome male idol. Beside her, Si Ji’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gently pinched the back of her neck. “Don’t smile so provocatively.” It was bad enough that he’d bossed her around when they were kids. Now he was doing it again just because they were in an arranged marriage. Ye Zhouzhou clenched her fist and punched him. “None of your business!” Si Ji pulled her into his arms. His low voice was full of helpless affection. “If I didn’t like you, why would I care?” The CP fans, rising from their deathbeds, sat bolt upright. What? Help me up! I can still ship them! Yesterday, the fans had been heartbroken. Today, they were setting off firecrackers at their door, the kind that go on for three days and three nights. [Bonus Scene] From the time she was a little toddler to when she wore princess dresses, “None of your business!” was the phrase Ye Zhouzhou said to Si Ji most often. Until, late at night, again and again, Si Ji would slowly wipe the glistening moisture from his fingers with a silk handkerchief, hook a finger beneath the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, and toss them aside. He looked down at Ye Zhouzhou, her face flushed, and asked in a husky voice, “Zhouzhou, do you want me to take charge?” Ye Zhouzhou’s eyes were red and glistening. Her helpless, trembling whimper was full of need. “Si Ji, please take charge of me.” Please follow my upcoming story: Stealing Roses [Mutual pining, reunited after years apart] [Sweet and lively × Gentle|Dating Show contestant × Dating Show director] When Li Yang was fourteen, she fell for someone who was seventeen. “Yangyang, haven’t you always wanted an older brother? An Che will be living with us from now on, so you two should get along.” The boy was tall and slender, with a handsome face that was always bright with a smile. He called her “Yangyang” in a gentle voice. He was like a spring breeze, brushing over the secret feelings in Li Yang’s young heart. The girl followed behind him, refusing to call him “Brother.” Instead, she would lift her chin and smile brightly. “Brother An Che.” Later, he graduated and was leaving for another city. Li Yang chased after him to the airport, her face red as she stammered. But he seemed not to understand. With a faint smile, he waved goodbye. “Your brother’s leaving. Yangyang, you have to find the very best person for yourself.” Even when he rejected her, he was so gentle. - When they met again, Li Yang was invited to appear on a wildly popular Dating Show, and Zhou An Che turned out to be the director. She no longer called him “Brother An Che.” She simply smiled and told everyone he was her brother. “Director, everyone says the cool male lead and Li Yang are a great match. We should promote them heavily.” “I don’t think they’re anything special.” Zhou An Che frowned and coldly rejected the promotion plan. “Director, the puppy-like third male contestant and Li Yang are a huge hit as a CP.” Zhou An Che pressed his lips into a tight line, his expression dark. The show became a sensation, and the whole internet was shipping Li Yang with everyone. Zhou An Che couldn’t sit still anymore. “Our new fourth male contestant is... the head director of our show...” In the dim light, the man’s gaze was intense. In front of everyone, he spoke bluntly: “Yangyang, I’m here for you alone.” Online, everyone was dumbfounded that the Dating Show director had joined his own show. Zhou An Che smiled faintly. “Since there are so many CP videos of our Yangyang, we can’t let the real CP go without any content, can we?” #Director Zhou forces the CP fan artists to make content for him and Yangyang# #Dating Show director joins his own show to win his wife back# Core message: A faint glimmer and a blazing flame can both kindle a spark.
