*

The arduous love story of a swoon-worthy doctor who firmly believes, “My girlfriend definitely loves me.” With sheer force of conviction and puppy-like persistence, he wins over Qiao Ling, a no-nonsense female member of a base team.

*

Qiao Ling, a base team member from the 24th century, accidentally arrives in the modern era while on a mission. She is wholly devoted to carrying out the secret, noble plan to relocate humanity from the apocalypse.

On her very first day, she meets Doctor Xie, who speaks to her with sarcastic barbs. Since he's practically offering himself up, she decides to accept him with a smile.

Xie Fanmu waited five years for Qiao Ling. When she finally returned, she didn't even recognize him. He told himself to give up on this relationship, because Qiao Ling had no place for him in her heart.

That's what reason told him, but his feelings refused to listen. Without Qiao Ling, he wouldn't be himself.

Everyone was ready to gossip and wait for the girl to get dumped, but then news came that they were getting married. Everyone wept.

Reborn Beauty in the Palm (Reborn)

Xia Nanqing is a pampered young lady from a wealthy family in the imperial capital. She loathes her adopted elder brother, Liu Jiazhen, a bastard of unknown origin. Her brother is stern, dull, and taciturn, and he's also here to claim a share of her family's estate. In private, Xia Nanqing turns a blind eye when others bully him and pays him no attention.

Then she marries into the Sima family and dies young. Before she dies, she sees that detestable brother slaughter the entire Sima household, turning the grand halls into a living hell.

Blood stains his blade and his eyes.

Xia Nanqing blinks, and tears roll down her cheeks.

Everyone has turned against her, but her brother still remembers her.

*

When she is reborn and meets Liu Jiazhen again, he is still a solemn, inscrutable boy who seems far older than his years. Xia Nanqing smiles at him, and Liu Jiazhen coolly looks away.

She approaches him, and he pushes her away.

Xia Nanqing isn't angry at all. She keeps smiling brightly at him, following him around and fussing over him, calling him “Brother” at every turn.

The servants are quietly amazed.

Xia Nanqing works hard to get along with her brother, never noticing that Liu Jiazhen's gaze grows increasingly strange.

*

Liu Jiazhen is actually the crown prince of a fallen kingdom, burdened with a blood feud and living in the Xia household under someone else's identity. A servant says, “I think Miss Xia is trying to seduce you.”

Liu Jiazhen frowns, finding Xia Nanqing utterly distasteful.

Gradually, he too starts to think Xia Nanqing wants his body, and he likes her even less.

Until one day, Xia Nanqing comes to him with a marriage contract in her hands and a radiant smile. He thinks that, in the end, she still wants him to marry her.

By then, he has already killed the emperor on the throne. After careful consideration, he decides to take her away.

“Brother, this is the match I found for you. The county princess is of noble birth, gentle in temperament, and beautiful. I'm sure you'll like her.”

Her smile is innocent and cruel at once. “I've found my own love, too. I'm going to marry him!”

Theme: Give everything your all, no matter what you do.
