1.

Fang Ruici was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. There was no star in the sky someone wouldn't snatch down for her.

Huo Enzhe was a dashing, carefree third-generation rich kid, turning heads just by walking down the street.

What could Fang Ruici possibly want that she couldn't get? Yet Huo Enzhe teased her with a smile. "Little phoenix, you're too young."

But Fang Ruici couldn't wait. She was desperate to have him, to make him hers alone...

2.

Fang Ruici, CEO of Haibo Group, is somehow working as an assistant at a hospice center. Her employer is her ex-husband, Huo Enzhe...

He is no longer the dashing playboy he once was. He lies frail in a hospital bed, unable to hear or see clearly.

Huo Enzhe asks, "What should I call you?"

Fang Ruici writes in his palm, "My surname is Fang."

Huo Enzhe smiles. "Then I'll be relying on you for the next two months, Miss Fang."

As Miss Fang, Fang Ruici quietly keeps Huo Enzhe company for over two months. On the night before he dies, she stays. Standing outside his hospital room, she hears him sigh to a friend who has come to say goodbye.

"But she's so wonderful. I don't want to let her go..."

In the end, Huo Enzhe still passes away.

As Fang Ruici fills out the death certificate, a staff member asks her:

"What was your relationship to the deceased?"

"His beloved..."

"Then please show me your marriage certificate."

"In that case... put down 'heir to the estate' instead."

In one sentence: A long-laid plan, just waiting for the right moment

Blurb dated 20230405

An Yijin is dragged back to her hometown by her grandfather, only to discover that the man she's been set up with is actually her fake CEO boyfriend from Shencheng!

That night, An Yijin's acting falls apart completely. Like a puppet, she follows the man beneath the moonlit veranda. "Mr. Huo, you..."

Huo Siyue raises his glass. "This is part of our arrangement, too."

*

Rumor has it that An Yijin's supposed billion-yuan fortune is fake, all the designer clothes she brought are knockoffs, and she only got the female lead role in the year's major production, A Long-Laid Plan, through connections.

Faced with the criticism, An Yijin rolls her eyes and plays along. "Sure, sure, they're absolutely right."

But when people doubt that the wedding ring on her left ring finger is fake too, she can't let that slide. "She's the fake one, and her whole family is fake! Once the show is over, you're all coming to my wedding with red envelopes. Not one of you can skip it!"

As it turns out, the production becomes an unexpected hit and keeps getting extended. With performances added again and again, it seems the wedding An Yijin keeps talking about must be another lie...

*

Huo Siyue is the current head of the Huo family, one of Shencheng's most elite clans. He has a face that captivates countless young women, but is cold and aloof, a workaholic with no feelings. Rumor also has it that he suffers from a psychological condition and has entered a secret marriage with a young heiress from the south. Their marriage is so discreet that they haven't even bothered to hold a wedding.

Then one day, Huo Siyue suddenly takes an interest in theater, especially the latest runaway hit, A Long-Laid Plan. His Weibo account, which rarely gets updated, becomes strangely active. One minute he's liking the official A Long-Laid Plan account's posts, the next he's reposting its updates. Everyone knows Mr. Huo invests in entertainment, but why would he personally get involved in such a small production?

Until, during the eighteenth performance, Huo Siyue suddenly appears in the middle of the stage, personally presents An Yijin with flowers, and tells the troupe leader, "Mr. Ai, please stop making my wife work overtime. She needs to take her honeymoon leave."

*

Huo Siyue pins her against the makeup table, his ink-dark eyes burning. "You have to choose between the show and the wedding!"

An Yijin gently takes the glasses off his nose and rubs the corners of his eyes, which are faintly red. "I choose you..."

*

The people outside have been waiting for ages. They start knocking on the door. "An'an, hurry up! They're waiting for you to come out and take your bow."

Only after a long while do they hear An Yijin laughing and panting behind the door. "My husband says I'm not here."

Everyone: @_@!!!!

#If there's a hundred steps between us, you can take the first one. I'll take the other ninety-nine.

#It wasn't deliberately planned, but we meant to fall in love.

Upcoming story blurb: Little Secret

Summer vacation before senior year of high school.

Lan Ke, a small-town student who lives for exams, gets into Shencheng F University just as she hoped. She quickly tosses her schoolbag aside and heads to Shencheng to work and help support her family.

For her first part-time job, she delivers takeout. The team leader assigns her a fellow university student as her mentor, Huo Siy banquet. The platform takes too big a cut, so Lan Ke follows Huo Siy banquet around, cursing, "Capitalists are all awful," while rushing through the streets and alleys to grab orders. Somehow, she earns 15,000 yuan in a month.

Lan Ke: "Master, you're amazing! I'll come back next time."

Huo Siy banquet: "Next time I'll raise it to 55,000."

"Really?"

"Would I lie?"

Then Huo Siy banquet picks up the phone. "This logistics company has good prospects. Go negotiate an acquisition."

Summer vacation after freshman year.

Huo Siy banquet takes Lan Ke to work as a hotel concierge. Lan Ke, an English major, earns 15,000 yuan a month. But when a guest harasses her, Huo Siy banquet punches him, and his entire salary is docked. He even has to pay 55,000 yuan in damages.

Lan Ke: "Master, that's so pitiful. After paying your medical bills, you probably won't even have enough to eat."

After that, Huo Siy banquet mooches off Lan Ke's breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a whole semester.

Lan Ke picks a piece of braised pork from her bowl and puts it in his. "Master, have some more."

Huo Siy banquet picks up the phone again. "Give everyone on the hotel's emergency response team a bonus."

Summer vacation after sophomore year.

Huo Siy banquet is busy with his graduation project, so he can't work with Lan Ke. Instead, he finds her a research project to translate. By the last page, she sees that the project manager is Huo Siy banquet, the lead programmer is Huo Siy banquet, and the investor is Huo Siy banquet.

Lan Ke: "Master, can this little app for testing signals make money? If not, don't pay me."

Huo Siy banquet smacks his lips. "It can make a little." He quickly hides the framework agreement worth tens of millions in profits.

Summer vacation after junior year.

Lan Ke goes to intern at Haibo Group. As soon as she passes the interview, she hides in a corner on the first floor and calls Huo Siy banquet. "Master, what a coincidence that the big boss has the same surname as you."

She hears the building's security guards bow together and call out, "Hello, Mr. Huo!" as they welcome the dignified, distinguished Huo Siy banquet inside...
