Blurb:

Flirtatious, seductive actress × aloof director with a tendency to cry uncontrollably

Pei Zihan was born spoiled and privileged. At nineteen, she debuted as the face of a girl group. Gifted and intelligent, she wrote and composed her own albums, which won countless awards in just three years.

There were countless rumors about her titles and family background.

At the end of her third year after debuting, Pei Zihan announced she was going solo and officially entering the film and television industry.

Some admired her for stepping outside her comfort zone and trying something new. Others criticized her, accusing her of relying on a mysterious backer to disrupt the film and television industry.

Later, while trying to reinvent herself, she was filming on Yifeng Mountain when she fell from a wire rig. A junior director on the crew saved her.

The instant she looked up, the man's red-rimmed eyes made her heart skip a beat.

Cui Yu first met her during his fourteenth winter at the orphanage. Three layers of snow covered the ground. He lay in the snow, clutching an old camera in his hand, gasping until his eyes were red, while a group of children behind him mocked him as a sickly invalid and imitated his labored breathing.

Once he caught his breath, a pair of red cotton boots with white pom-poms appeared before him. Their owner asked if he was all right.

He looked up into the warm winter sunlight, said nothing, and instead raised his camera and pressed the shutter, capturing the girl's lively, spirited expression.

The next time he saw her up close was in his twenty-fourth winter. Three layers of snow covered Yifeng Mountain. Dressed in a bamboo-green historical costume and carrying a flute, she leapt across rooftops. She was a famous, all-around top-tier star.

He was only an unknown junior director, carrying ten years of secret feelings.

-The first snow of their twenty-sixth year

“On the day of the first snow, meet me at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. I... have something I want to tell you.”

Cui Yu looked at the message he'd sent on his phone as he stood in the lonely, chilly pavilion. Dusk was falling, and white snow drifted from the sky like willow fluff.

The white landscape was swallowed by the night, and she still did not come.

Cui Yu mocked himself in his heart. A person shouldn't be greedy. And yet he sat in the pavilion all night, then fell seriously ill after returning home.

The next time he saw Pei Zihan was at a wrap party. She was holding another man's arm, smiling and chatting happily.

After several rounds of drinks, Pei Zihan had barely left the banquet hall when Cui Yu grabbed her hand and pulled her into a room.

The man's eyes were red, tears like strings of pearls turning in them, stubbornly refusing to fall. He looked like a pitiful puppy that had been abandoned.

“The first time I went to the Louvre, I didn't feel anything special, because I had already met the Mona Lisa who belonged only to me.”

One Last Kiss

[Bonus Scene]

At the chilly end of winter, Cui Yu put on a wetsuit, took a waterproof camera, and plunged into the water to film the scene he wanted himself.

Though the end of winter was warming up, staying underwater too long let the cold sink into his bones. That night, after filming the scene, Cui Yu came down with a high fever.

Pei Zihan, who had come to look after him, accidentally entered the secret room in Cui Yu's apartment that he had forgotten to lock.

A brilliant starry sky was projected across every wall of the room, and every starry scene was connected to her.

When Cui Yu's fever broke in the middle of the night, the first thing he thought of was the person caring for him. He hurried out of bed barefoot, only for Pei Zihan to silently block him and send him back to the bedside.

“You kept your little puppy feelings so well hidden, keeping me in the dark for so long. Don't I deserve some compensation?”

Cui Yu, still unwell, was taken on what felt like several roller-coaster rides by Pei Zihan. He held back his tears as they fell one pearl-like drop at a time.

Probably a combination of a top-tier star baddie and a cool, aloof male white camellia.

Her Little Fox [Female Alpha, Male Omega]

In 6023, technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and spiritual energy began to revive across the globe.

The national monitoring bureau of A Country, one of the developed nations, detected strange surges in spiritual energy in many places. The cause turned out to be a dramatic increase in the spiritual energy inside certain animals, giving them intelligence and humanoid forms.

To keep uninformed members of the public from panicking at the sight of these humanoid creatures, A Country established the Humanoid Creature Administration. Discovered humanoid creatures would enter human society under the administration's education and supervision.

When Jian Lian was seventeen, a full-dive virtual martial arts world and team-based survival MMORPG, For the Sake of Chivalry: A Hero's Tender Heart, launched.

Less than three months after launch, Jian Lian, who had only meant to play casually, accidentally reached the top of the national rankings in several classes and took first place on the overall leaderboard.

To her fans, every class in the game came naturally to Jian Lian. Calling her a gaming genius was no exaggeration.

Before long, countless famous professional teams reached out to Jian Lian with generous offers.

On the day Jian Lian decided to join TRS, the strongest professional team overall, she found a little red fox that was on the verge of death and still baring its teeth at her.

After taking the fox home, Jian Lian discovered large patches of wounds hidden under its fur. Only after treatment from the household medical robot did it manage to cling to life.

When the little red fox first woke up, it still made fierce snorting sounds. After living with Jian Lian for a week, it not only loved sticking close to her but also adored acting spoiled.

Naturally, Jian Lian spoiled it rotten, letting it run wild until it had beaten all the other little animals in the house into submission. It was clever, too. Whenever it did something wrong, it would wag its fluffy tail, fawn over Jian Lian, and roll around, making it impossible for her to bring herself to punish it.

Later, Jian Lian's plans for her own life diverged wildly from the future her parents had laid out for her. While she was away training at the team's base, her parents sold the little fox, claiming gaming was a waste of time, in an attempt to force her to give in.

Recently, a new streamer called Fox has been gaining momentum on the Cat Shark streaming platform, attracting plenty of fans with his unconventional, devious playstyle and explosive temper.

During one livestream, he faced professional player TRS.Strict, captain of the TRS team, Jian Lian. The two were evenly matched, but Fox won at the crucial moment. After that match, he was buried under a mountain of abuse.

Some people refused to believe his plays were real and spread rumors that his opponent had been a paid actor. The rumors and insults spiraled out of control.

At the height of the storm, Fox's livestream title read, “Putting certain jealous haters in their place.” On camera, a young man with red hair and a strikingly seductive beauty mark beneath his left eye appeared.

Jian Lian, who had casually opened the livestream, froze.

After the TRS team won another championship, captain Jian Lian took on the responsibility of escorting Wen Chun, who was tipsy after half a glass, home. She had just stuffed him into the car when Wen Chun, usually foul-tempered, clung to her with his hands and feet, rubbing against her and whimpering as he acted spoiled. Then he revealed a pair of fluffy red fox ears and a bushy tail.

Jian Lian reached out in confusion and touched his tail.

Fluffy. Soft. Just like her little fox.
