Everyone knew that Luo Qianning was doted on by all, a young lady who would find something to complain about wherever she went.

That is, until the day the Luo couple brought home a gentle, refined young woman and said that she was their real princess, while Luo Qianning was adopted.

Everyone waited to see the young lady make a fool of herself. Luo Qianning herself felt like a joke, too.

That night, she cried until the world went dark. In the morning, her eyes blurred with tears, she walked up to a villa and rang the doorbell.

A man in gray pajamas came out, refined and noble, his glasses glinting coldly. "Luo Qianning, it's four in the morning."

The young woman cried even harder. Unable to say a word, she blew a snot bubble.

Tan Yan: ...

Later, high society was abuzz with rumors that the Luo family's adopted daughter had disappeared.

Some time afterward, everyone was curious again. They heard that the famously cold-hearted tycoon had brought home a rabbit to raise.

He rarely ate out with anyone, but when he went home, he still remembered to ask the waiter to fill up his little snack box. It had twelve compartments, each filled one by one.

"Your rabbit is pretty pampered."

"Mm. And clingy, too."

That night, the rabbit curled up on the soft sofa, picking and choosing. "These two dishes are too bland. Don't get them next time."

Tan Yan had thought the dazzling, willful young woman was a glass of clear liquor, slowly warming his heart. He never imagined that, after forcing his way into her life so insistently, she would burn so hotly in his heart that the alcohol's intensity would nearly cost him his life.

Shen Qingzhi became a top-tier star in the entertainment industry thanks to her beauty and family background. But this beauty was a genuinely difficult diva, someone countless directors tried to avoid. Audiences, however, still adored her. She was practically the entertainment industry's little poison.

Shang Heci was Shen Qingzhi's direct superior. With a face of celestial beauty, he was always elegant and proud, like an immortal descended to earth, his presence as pure as snow and moonlight. Nothing in this world could truly catch his eye.

When people noticed that the dazzling little diva Shen Qingzhi had started currying favor with the tycoon Shang, their reaction was unanimous: A seductress dared to lay hands on a god.

Everyone speculated about when she would be blacklisted, but they waited a whole year and nothing happened.

One year later.

During an interview, President Shang "accidentally" revealed the embroidery on his collar. Enlarged, it showed several exquisite little characters, each stitch piercing the heart: "Qingqing's."

Everyone: Who is Qingqing?????

Then one time, Shen Qingzhi appeared on a variety show and was pranked by the production crew, who challenged her to call her direct superior and say something romantic!

Shen Qingzhi had barely called when he picked up.

Without giving him a chance to speak, Shen Qingzhi rattled off a whole string of sweet nothings. But the production crew deliberately delayed cutting the call, hoping to see President Shang's reaction.

A low, magnetic, intoxicating laugh came from the other end, followed by a seductive, bewitching voice that made everyone's heart itch with anticipation: "Wifey, what new game is this?"

Netizens: Holy crap!

Xuan Ling got drunk once and clung to the young emperor, crying for a long time. He wiped his snot and tears on the emperor's dragon robe and said he liked him.

Only then did the emperor realize that his chancellor was gay.

So, to save Xuan Ling, the emperor stopped favoring him and stopped summoning him. He scolded him at court, sent people to torment him, ordered him, a civil official, to lead troops into battle, and finally even forced women on him!

Xuan Ling endured it all without a word, but kept a little notebook in his heart: Today is the first day I've loved him. Today is the second day I've loved him... Today is the one thousand and seventh day I've loved him... Today I start hating him! The first day I've hated him...

Every official at court knew that the chancellor probably wouldn't last much longer.

Xuan Ling thought so, too. So much for being the emperor's favored minister. This man was a two-faced hypocrite, a sanctimonious fraud. Afraid that his achievements would threaten the throne, he had started suppressing a meritorious official.

If not now, when would he run?

Later, the emperor personally led troops in pursuit. He saw a young woman who looked remarkably like his chancellor: a similar figure, similar brows and eyes, similar lips, even a voice that sounded just like his when she called him a foolish ruler...

When the imperial carriage returned to the capital, everyone assumed the emperor was furious and that Xuan Ling was surely doomed. But what they saw was this: the supremely noble emperor was holding the displeased chancellor tightly in his arms, begging forgiveness in a meek voice.

The officials: ??????
