The South Wind Returns to the Valley [Entertainment Industry]

A bachelor-by-choice male lead who throws his principles out the window for love and is captain of the Good Husband Code Club x a resilient, multitalented female lead, a true heiress of grace and fortune

Qin Zhiyi, a C-list actress, is about to leave show business to raise pigs when she is forced to join a notorious survival reality show. Against all odds, she becomes popular again and, as a silver lining, earns the admiration of a senior colleague.

At first sight, she takes a fancy to the reserved, cool-headed voice actor who steps in to save the day midway through filming. She immediately asks for his contact information and gradually lures him into her web.

Qin Zhiyi: "Your voice sounds a lot like a radio host I've followed for eight years."

Zhou Ruohuai: ...Is it possible that I'm the one?

Qin Zhiyi: "You also look a lot like my benefactor, Senior Zhi."

Zhou Ruohuai: ...Is it possible he's actually my dad, and I just took my mother's surname?

At first, Zhou Ruohuai is convinced he's a bachelor by choice. After all, he has never dated anyone in his thirty-two years, and he thoroughly enjoys it that way.

After watching Qin Zhiyi agree to appear on a dating reality show, Zhou Ruohuai says: No problem, I'll pay to get on the show! I'll cover the guests' cancellation fees! Not one man is allowed on it!

On the night Qin Zhiyi wins Best Actress, Zhou Ruohuai drafts a long confession.

Love is the resonance of one soul with another. The moment the south wind blew back into the valley, I suddenly understood what this word meant. Fate is so wondrous. We met ten years ago, and across untouchable time and space, our paths finally intertwined.

The story balances romance and plot. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to click in.

A preview of my upcoming novel, Spring in the Wine Jar:

"The world's troubles settle like snow on a hairpin; in life, let us find a little spring in the wine jar."

I'm a shameless melodrama enthusiast. A marriage of convenience that turns to love, faking one's death, a remorseful husband pursuing his wife, and a runaway with a child. It's not a long story, just a hundred and eighty days of drama, packed with enough angst and scandal to keep you entertained.

When Jiang Weimeng married Yu Sixing, she knew he was unwilling. Still, she always thought that if you were sincere enough, even the coldest stone could be warmed if you held it close.

Everyone said that a woman from the southern tribes was unworthy of him. If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had not felt indebted to the Jiang clan, they would never have forced the only prince in the realm to stop seeing the Fang family's daughter and marry her instead.

Jiang Weimeng did not believe what others said. She believed only Yu Sixing. But then an accident left her pregnant. She hurried to tell him the happy news, but before she could speak, she heard him say to someone at the door, "She's just a barbarian girl. How could she be worthy of bearing my child?"

She had tried to warm that uncut jade for three years, but in the end, it still left Jiang Weimeng cold to the core.

Jiang Weimeng finally gave up and faked her death to escape.

After Jiang Weimeng died, Yu Sixing was plagued by nightmares every night.

For three whole years, he could not forget the sight of her coughing blood in his arms. Beneath his palm was the curve of her swollen belly, its roundness impossible to hide even under winter clothes.

He summoned her spirit again and again, but she was still too reluctant to appear in his dreams.

Only when his mother fell gravely ill and the vassal princes plotted rebellion did he come back to his senses, after his elder brother dragged him out of the prince's residence.

He set off for Jiangnan with a sword to investigate the case against the vassal princes. Yu Sixing did not hesitate. As the wind and rain lashed his face, he thought in a daze that perhaps it would be all right to die there. He only wondered whether she would still be willing to see him, or whether she had already been reborn. Where could a man burdened with so much guilt go to find her?

As he took shelter from the rain at an inn, he heard a woman's voice, tinged with anger. "Zhou Qinzhi, Zhangnu and Binu are still so young. How can they wear something this heavy?!"

Yu Sixing felt as if his heart and liver had been ripped apart. Slowly, he turned his head and saw her, both delighted and cross, throwing two gold necklaces aside. Two children with similar features followed close behind her.

Aloof, untouchable male lead x sunshine female lead

1. This is a melodramatic story, a melodramatic story, a melodramatic story. Important things have to be said three times!

2. The female and male leads both go through heartbreak. It ends happily, so please give it a try if you're comfortable with that.

3. No insulting the author.

Theme: You are the one destiny chose for me
