The Distance to Finland

Fang Zhi has loved someone for many years, from her youth to adulthood. She works hard to seize every opportunity, taking one step at a time until she reaches Zhou Mingdai's side.

She knows their status and position are worlds apart. All she asks is to see him from time to time, even if they never speak. She understands the rules of a secret crush: she absolutely must not, and should not, let the person she's in love with find out.

Even when a twist of fate leads to a one-night stand, she treats it as a dream and, by morning, goes back to keeping a safe distance, dutifully working and living her life.

But perhaps the most absurd thing in the world is having a one-night stand with the person you secretly love, then...

experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.

The grind of office life is numbing. Only making dance videos at home gives her a moment to relax. The comments section is always full of people calling her "Mom."

Fang Zhi never imagined that one day the man she secretly loves would see them too.

Even less did she imagine that the man she secretly loves would become her boyfriend.

And that before bed, he'd scroll through every video to like them one by one, then ask if he could watch the live version :)

They say Finnish people are reserved and tend to maintain a considerable social distance as a sign of politeness. The boundaries this creates are distant yet comfortable, and are known as Finnish distance.

Zhou Mingdai had no idea that even when he sleeps beside her every night, he should still maintain that polite distance.

A social-anxiety-afflicted, honest man with a great figure who wants an ordinary life x a scheming, morally bankrupt, calculating capitalist

Also known as My Secret Crush Is My Business Alone and Even the Actual Guy, Please Stay Away from My Secret Crush, Thanks. A bite of fake-playboy male lead gets scalded by true love and transforms into a gravity-powered type.

No actual pregnancy, no children. A sweet story with a touch of bitterness, happy ending.

Cheng Lixin tries to keep her distance from the saintly halo, but ends up getting attached to the kindest little girl in the world.

"Dad sent me chocolate from abroad. Let's share it, bestie!"

Cheng Lixin: "No. I hate sweets."

"Mom bought me a new dress. Let's get matching ones, one each!"

Cheng Lixin: "No. I'm allergic to acting cute."

"My brother turned out pretty handsome! Bestie, do you want him?"

Cheng Lixin: "?"

Ting Jun: (fixes his hair) (puts on a suit) (takes out a rose) "Hi, wife."
