Shuai Nanxing's first encounter with Yan Qiao began with Yan Qiao letting herself go for a moment, and ended with her fleeing in a panic.

Their reunion took place at an internship assignment meeting, where interns were assigned their clinical supervisors.

Dressed in a white coat, he smiled and held out his hand. “Dr. Yan, you're the only one I want to choose.”

What should have been a brief fling turned into the other person, someone she should have never seen again, refusing to let her go.

Anxious and frightened, Yan Qiao rejected him again and again to no avail. She sent Shuai Nanxing to the North Pole: a private cosmetic surgery center.

Later, on the day she had no choice but to agree to supervise Shuai Nanxing's internship, Yan Qiao officially announced a new “boyfriend” to put an end to his hopes once and for all.

They privately agreed to role-play, with no making it official unless they actually fell for each other.

She set her social media posts so that only Shuai Nanxing could see them.

Shuai Nanxing seemed to take it seriously. From then on, he kept his distance and called her “Dr. Yan.”

Feeling guilty, Yan Qiao paid even more attention to him at work.

Before long, the upper-class social circles of S City were abuzz:

Word was that Shuai Nanxing, the only son of the chairman of the Shichuan Group, had returned home after studying medicine. He had abandoned a fortune worth hundreds of billions to pursue love, willingly becoming an intern at Baiyun Hospital!

The whole circle was in an uproar.

*

Yan Qiao never thought she would one day regret it.

The night she told her “boyfriend” they were “breaking up,” she wandered around downstairs in a daze, torn over whether to confess everything to Shuai Nanxing.

Shuai Nanxing had followed her the whole way. When he saw her, he rushed over, wrapped his arms tightly around her, and kissed her with red-rimmed eyes. “Yan Qiao, now that he's gone, surely it's my turn?”

*

Shuai Nanxing recognized Yan Qiao the first night he saw her. Unfortunately, she seemed not to remember him at all.

It didn't matter. This time, he wouldn't let her get away.

*

On New Year's Eve, Yan Qiao nestled in Shuai Nanxing's arms. He stroked the back of her hand, stopping at a small oval burn scar, and finally couldn't resist asking:

“Yan Qiao, when we were kids, didn't we agree that if I burned one of your hands, I'd make it up to you by becoming your new groom when we grew up?”

“I've come to keep my promise.”

“Will you let me be yours?”

Yan Qiao answered tenderly, “All right.”

I fell for you back then because I recognized you. I love you now simply because you're you.

① Cats Spill the Tea and Their Thoughts Leak Out

Shen Fei transmigrated into a book.

Due to a System malfunction, Shen Fei unexpectedly transmigrated as a cat belonging to the wealthy Shen family.

With little time left in her cat life and a tea-spilling System at her disposal, Shen Fei decided to lie flat, eat as much gossip as she could, and wait to die.

[Whoa, this is wild! The Shen family's third son, a sophomore genius at a top-two university, the perfect son everyone in wealthy circles wishes they had, is secretly...]

At a family dinner, everyone in the Shen family pricked up their ears. Secretly what? Come on, spit it out!

[He goes to the club Heaven on Earth every Friday night in drag, dancing and cuddling up to pretty girls, playing the perfect listener! Wow, he's even been named top salesperson three months in a row!!!]

[What a talent! Is this what they mean when they say gold shines wherever it goes?]

[Hmm, apparently he's drop-dead gorgeous in women's clothes, like a celestial maiden. Let me see... Whoa!!!]

The Shen family: “This is immoral and brings shame on the family!”

The Shen family: “...So how beautiful is he? We want to see too!”

After spending a few days eating gossip all by herself, Shen Fei decided to rally the cats and dogs of wealthy families to join her.

Sharing the fun is better than keeping it to yourself.

But she didn't know that the gossip she shared with the cats and dogs was spreading from the Shen family to every wealthy household in the form of inner thoughts.

[Hey, little Shiba! Why don't you come live at my house? Your owner is a scumbag who married for money. He's all lovey-dovey with his wife in public, but in private he becomes the bottom for love, switching partners every day, seven different ones a week! But his wife doesn't care. She secretly uses her husband's money to keep a dozen handsome young men, and even recommends them to her girlfriends.]

[My old man is sleeping with a female doctor and wants her to have a son, but at least the rest of us are still... Wait, the doctor's pregnant! The baby's her young boyfriend's, and the two of them have decided to cuckold the old man together???]

The wealthy families, and their cat-and-dog underlings: !!! How exciting!

The Shen family patriarch couldn't catch his breath and fainted!

Later, unable to communicate with Shen Fei directly, the wealthy families resorted to coaxing their adorable pets into asking her for gossip.

The little herding dog from Wealthy Family A: “Feifei, my owner's boyfriend took her on a trip, and she's been missing for two days. Please help me find her...”

The little Shiba from Wealthy Family B: “Feifei, my young master got caught in a pig-butchering scam and was conned out of twenty million. He's refusing to eat. Can you find out where the big bad guy is?”

The chubby orange cat from Wealthy Family C: “Feifei, my family...”

And later still, Wealthy Family A gifted a luxurious apartment covering a thousand square meters to Shen Fei. The young lady from Wealthy Family B deposited twenty million into Shen Fei's account. Wealthy Family C sent her 888 gold bars...

“Honorary City Cat,” “Pet Detective,” “Cat God.”

Shen Fei suddenly became fabulously wealthy, covered in honors, and reached the peak of her cat life.

② How Dare He Treat Me Like This

An invincible, all-around female lead who can't die x a scheming, crawling-in-the-shadows puppy of a male lead

Luo Nian was an orphan. She was lucky enough to be adopted by the wealthy Shen family, which allowed her to rise above her station. Shen Yanxin loved Luo Nian, but Luo Nian dumped him and announced her engagement to Ning Zeqi. Ning Zeqi's father was the very culprit who had caused Shen Yanxin's mother to miscarry and his aunt to die. And Luo Nian was going to marry Ning Zeqi!

The day before the wedding, Luo Nian died. The murderer was soon caught: Ning Zeqi's father. The story dominated the social news headlines for days. Onlookers gleefully applauded, calling Luo Nian an ungrateful wretch who deserved to die, and saying that wicked people would get their comeuppance.

Luo Nian became a joke people mocked over tea.

Only Shen An was different.

Luo Nian had protected him since childhood and was the kindest person in the world to him. Shen An was happy to be Luo Nian's well-behaved younger brother, desperately repressing his improper thoughts. As long as Luo Nian was happy, he was happy.

When Luo Nian died, Shen An became fiercely protective and held a grudge. He filled an entire page with names, with Ning Zeqi and Shen Yanxin at the top.

Shen An thought that if those two ever dared to fall for someone else, he would kill them.

-

Luo Nian had many secrets. She had a golden finger since childhood: she was very hard to kill.

Without telling anyone, Luo Nian laid a scheme to fake her death and escape to freedom.

She awoke in a strange place with amnesia, penniless. She sneaked into a hotel kitchen to steal some food and was caught on the spot. Luo Nian thought she was done for, but the hotel's newly appointed owner rushed over, grabbed her hand, and refused to let go. He cried and begged her not to leave, claiming he was her boyfriend.

Luo Nian: “...”

Luo Nian vaguely felt that she had someone she liked, but this man didn't seem like him. Still, he had long legs, a slim waist, and a pleasing face. When he cried, he looked like a poor puppy no one wanted, and he seemed to have plenty of money. On impulse, Luo Nian decided to stay for now. She raised a hand, ruffled his hair, and smiled. “Boyfriend, what's your name?”

“Shen An.” He looked at her steadily, saying each word carefully. “I'm your Shen An.”

-

The most despicable thing Shen An ever did was trick Luo Nian by pretending to be her boyfriend in place of his older brother, Shen Yanxin. But he didn't regret it.
