There are people who are exceptional, intelligent, and resilient. They have loved someone deeply, but could never have them or win their love, and can only live out their lives in sorrow. There are also people who, despite having the full range of human emotions and desires, can never fall in love with anyone. They regret it, yet somehow understand that the person they are waiting for will never come in this lifetime. After they die, their deep obsessions keep them from moving on. To set things right, Chuqi carries out Heaven's mission, binding herself to these people and traveling through time to take them back to the moment they missed their fated partner, so they can save their destined love.

1. The Cool, Top-Ranked Student Gets Clung to, formerly titled Solitary Bamboo:

[Well-bred Cantonese heiress x aloof top student, a chatty rich girl and a cool-headed student from a small county town] This novel is also called Solitary Bamboo. Blurb:

In the second semester of her sophomore year of high school, a transfer student arrived at Sanhai High School. The class chat was almost entirely filled with discussions about her. Rumor had it this mysterious transfer student came from a prestigious private school, and everything she wore was branded and more refined than anything in this backward little town. Her hair clip was studded with diamonds, her clothes were LV, her perfume was Prada, and even her slippers cost four figures.

The group chat was abuzz with exclamations about the rich heiress.

After a typhoon passed, Gu Zhu waded through the water on her way to school. As she walked past the Academic Affairs Office after putting away her umbrella, she ran into the transfer student, who was dressed in a white tracksuit. Pointing at the splash of water Gu Zhu had accidentally gotten on her clothes, the girl chuckled. "Hey, pretty girl, do something about this."

Gu Zhu looked up at her. Her hair was tucked beneath a green baseball cap, she wore a loose pair of shorts and a tracksuit top, and on her feet were... Crocs that cost thirty yuan a pair, on average.

She blinked. The gap between rumor and reality really could be deeper than the Mariana Trench.

While everyone expected the heiress to struggle with life in a small county town, Bai Tan had already put on a helmet, hopped onto an electric scooter, and taken her beautiful, aloof top-student classmate for a ride.

At most, the heiress complained that the cafeteria chicken didn't taste like chicken. And she wondered when she could become Gu Zhu's roommate.

On her first night as Gu Zhu's roommate, the heiress climbed into Gu Zhu's bed. When Gu Zhu stared at her in shock and shouted, "You're underage! You can't do that!", she burst out laughing. "Baby, I'm already eighteen! Call me Big Sister!"

Gu Zhu: ...

Bai Tan's shadow falls upon solitary bamboo. A gentle breeze sways, and I take you into my arms.

2. I Beg for Alms Across the Three Realms

Life is a boundless wilderness, beneath which lie countless threads of cause and effect. Three thousand worlds flow side by side, and the river of time cannot be reversed. Some causes and effects follow one another, while others are tangled beyond comprehension, separated by a dream.

Thus, on the road to the Yellow Springs, beside the Bridge of Helplessness, a communications station operating across the Three Realms came into being. Humans, demons, immortals, and gods all lingered there, seeking release.

Chen Xiang was the most beautiful ghost in the Underworld, and also the coldest. She was the only ghost immortal to crawl out of the Hungry Ghost Realm in six hundred years. Having lost her destiny, she became the only being in the Three Realms untouched by cause and effect, and one of the few keys able to enter dreams of past lives.

Following those tangled, intricate threads of cause and effect, she stepped into the river of time:

A female teacher who studied abroad, killed in Shanghai after it became an isolated city in 1937, and a maid who worked at the largest brothel in the foreign concessions;

A great demon from the cat world who lost an eye while surviving a trial in the human realm, and a girl who rescued stray animals;

A frail princess living in a castle, and an impoverished top student in good health who spent her life unlucky and served as the princess's blood donor;

And the little empress Chen Xiang had thought about constantly, unable to forget for six hundred years.

Among the many threads of fate through time, Chen Xiang kept inadvertently crossing paths with one person. At last, following Heaven's decree, the communications station that had stood empty for six hundred years finally welcomed a new director.

But although the appointment had been made, the new director still hadn't taken office. The employees waited and waited, only for Heaven's decree to turn out to be a huge mistake: the new director was a living human. With no other choice, they sent someone into her dream to invite this living being to take up her post.

With the Book of Life and Death in her left hand and the Judge's Brush in her right, the new director judged cause and effect and untangled the threads of fate. From then on, the chaotic threads fell into order, and the fated bonds that needed to continue, along with the debts of fate that needed to be repaid, all left traces to follow.

The river of time Chen Xiang entered was no longer a series of frozen scenes. At last, someone would help set right the fates she was afraid to touch and change.

A cold, aloof, incredibly powerful ghost immortal who fights like a god of war, the pursued x a gentle, rational director who has feelings yet is heartless, the pursuer

---- Expanded and revised from the previous version's synopsis. The central premise has changed a little, and the story focuses more on the ensemble cast.

Content warning: The threads of fate get melodramatic and may involve family love, romance, friendship, and gratitude, so there may be heterosexual relationships (not much).

3. (From Ancient Times to the Present) My Days Working and Raising a Child in the Modern World

From the pursued character's perspective:

Shen Shuyuan accidentally fell into another time and place, where a kind, ordinary couple rescued her. Knowing nothing about this new world, she worked alongside them for three years.

Later, the couple died unexpectedly. Their only lingering worry was their daughter, who had been left at home.

To repay them, Shen Shuyuan traveled nearly 1,800 kilometers, carrying their ashes and inheritance to their hometown.

The old mountain roads were difficult to travel. She pushed through snow and wind until she finally found the couple's home. As luck would have it, the people inside were arguing.

Shen Shuyuan listened for a while, the cold, heavy urn weighing on her. Then she made a decision: she would take the child away.

Fortunately, the girl was well-behaved.

Unfortunately, the child liked her.

From the pursuer's perspective:

At fourteen, Huai Zi's parents, who worked away from home, died in an accident. The elders in the family held a meeting to decide what would become of her.

Her eldest uncle said he was old, had many grandchildren, and couldn't take care of a girl.

Her second uncle said a child needed to go to school, and he couldn't afford to raise one.

Her third aunt had only just graduated from high school and could barely manage her own life.

As for her mother's family, they had stopped keeping in touch years ago, and no one had even shown up.

Huai Zi hid in a corner, planning how to get to the city. No one had gone to bring back her parents' ashes.

The arguing continued, but someone quietly arrived at the door.

The old wooden door opened, and the bitter wind and snow rushed inside. The brazier crackled in the room.

A woman came in, putting away her umbrella, her shoulders dusted with frost and snow. Her clear, pleasant voice rang out. "Hello. I've come to take Huai Zi with me."

The sky beyond the window was gloomy. Inside, the brazier gave off only a faint glow. The woman stood between light and shadow, but Huai Zi saw her clearly.

That day, someone new entered Huai Zi's world.

She called her Auntie.

She wanted to make her hers.
