Heroine with amnesia | Dark, devoted tech tycoon x resilient, proud up-and-coming director

It was an unspoken understanding among Chen Yanzhou's childhood friends that they would never mention Shi An again.

"Chen Yanzhou might seem fine now, but you should've seen what he was like when An'an first disappeared."

During the year Shi An was gone, people in their circle avoided talking about her, afraid that one wrong word would provoke the eldest Chen heir.

One night, at a reunion with his childhood friends, a slender figure suddenly darted in front of Chen Yanzhou's car. He braked hard and stopped safely, only to see her collapse to the ground half a meter away from the car.

"Miss, you didn't even touch the bumper. Why did you fall?" Chen Yanzhou looked at Ji Mian's trembling fingertips, his tone mocking.

But when Ji Mian spoke, her familiar voice almost stopped his breathing. Chen Yanzhou suddenly grabbed her chin and forced her to look up.

Under the streetlights, he saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Chen Yanzhou had thought it was just an absurd little incident. He never expected that later he would force his way into Ji Mian's life, doing everything in his power to sabotage her matchmaking dates.

Ji Mian had no memories of her past. The doctor said that was a good thing. Given the severity of her injury a year ago, remembering might have left her traumatized.

Ji Mian listened and thought the doctor's way of comforting people was certainly unusual.

But when Chen Yanzhou gently touched the scar on her back and asked, "Does it hurt?" she repeated the doctor's explanation, clumsily trying to reassure him:

"I don't remember, so it's all right."

When she first met Chen Yanzhou, Ji Mian labeled him a "good person."

When she heard that Chen Yanzhou's longtime girlfriend had vanished without a trace, she felt sorry for him.

When she realized that the vanished girlfriend was actually herself, Ji Mian thought: Wait, give me a second.

[Bonus scene]: Chen Yanzhou's Quest for a Relationship Status

The film Ji Mian had helped produce finally premiered, and a former matchmaking date invited her to attend with him. The text happened to fall into Chen Yanzhou's hands, and for once, he looked dejected.

Feeling sorry for him, Ji Mian quickly typed something on her phone. After pressing send, she turned the screen toward Chen Yanzhou.

The message read:

"No, thanks. I'm going with my boyfriend."

When Chen Yanzhou saw it, a triumphant smile curled his lips.

Only then did Ji Mian realize he had been pretending. She was about to call him out when he pulled her into his arms. Chen Yanzhou leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"I'm so happy you called me your boyfriend."

Pigeon Blood Red and Royal Blue

[Easygoing antique jewelry shop owner who wants a quiet retirement x carefree rich playboy]

1.

After graduating, Nan Zhi inherited her grandmother's antique jewelry shop. It stayed closed for half a year, then brought in enough to last the next half.

One day, she arrived around sunset and opened the shop to find a handsome man lounging against the sofa, smiling, with an air of easy nobility.

He leaned against the backrest, his gaze drifting over her. "I heard Miss Nan has a ten-carat pigeon blood ruby?"

Wen Xun. Nan Zhi matched the man's face to the name she'd often heard during her student days.

"It's not for sale."

Wen Xun chuckled softly, then took a velvet ring box from his jacket. Inside lay a royal blue sapphire.

He tapped the edge of the box lightly with his fingertip. "Miss Nan, would you be willing to go to the marriage registration office with me in exchange for this sapphire?"

2.

Nan Zhi was a strange person. To be specific, she was willing to marry a man she'd met only a handful of times for the sake of a gemstone.

Although it was a fake marriage.

She didn't probe into why Wen Xun had chosen her as his fake wife, nor was she interested in the women he'd allegedly had ambiguous relationships with.

When their agreement expired, she took Wen Xun's royal blue sapphire and traveled the world, carefree and at ease.

Watching Nan Zhi's radiant smile on social media, Wen Xun ground his teeth in frustration.

"I should've made the act convincing from the start and gone to the marriage office to get our certificate. Then let's see if she could've left so easily."

3.

"Nan Zhi, how did you sleep through the whole thing?"

After the experience-sharing session ended, her roommate shook Nan Zhi awake, exasperated. "You missed Wen Xun's speech."

Nan Zhi yawned and said indifferently, "So what if I missed it?"

Her roommate questioned Nan Zhi's taste. "Don't you think just looking at someone like Wen Xun is a pleasure in itself?"

Nan Zhi merely replied, "I'm not interested in people who are like the answer key."

When she said that, Wen Xun was standing not far behind her, listening to every word.
