Ding Xizi has a pair of flirtatious eyes. Whenever she looks at someone, her gaze is tender and affectionate, like a sun-drunken begonia.

Meng Lian had once adored those eyes. Even after she grew tired of them and broke up with Ding Xizi, she often found herself thinking about those shimmering, sparkling eyes once she was single again.

As time passed, the yearning grew, like an insect's feelers continuously tickling her heart. A few months later, she finally couldn't hold back and asked to get back together. When those eyes looked at her once more, she came back to life, like a fish returning to the sea.

This time, she would love Xizi properly and never bring up breaking up again, she thought.

But she soon realized something was wrong.

Her wife wasn't just gazing at her with those tender, affectionate eyes. She looked at her coworkers and her boss that way, too... She even gave the older woman at the front desk the same look!

The scumbag A started to panic.

Meng Lian: "W-what's going on?!"

Ding Xizi had always been the kind of child other parents wished they had: an excellent student with a beautiful appearance. But no one knew that she had harbored a secret crush since her school days. After four years of college, she finally managed to win her over, only to be dumped after dating for just a few months.

When she was broken up with, Ding Xizi's last shred of pride kept her from begging her to stay, but she clearly heard her own heart break.

After the breakup, she couldn't move on for a long time. But everyone around her kept telling her not to ask to get back together, that it would be too pathetic.

So she came up with a solution that would make everyone happy:

Ding Xizi started imagining that everyone around her was Meng Lian. Meng Lian delivering takeout to her, Meng Lian accompanying her to work, Meng Lian taking her out to have fun... At last, she could live a normal life.

After imagining it for long enough, she even started seeing Meng Lian come back and ask to get back together.

"All right," she said.

But she would have to wait for the other Meng Lian to take her out to dinner that night, she thought.

In 2024, a new fashion design variety show took the country by storm. It invited renowned Chinese designers and inheritors of traditional crafts to participate, and each designer could freely choose a traditional craft inheritor they liked as a partner.

Meng Lian, the art director of the country's only haute couture brand, had always been extremely discerning. Yet she picked Ding Xizi, who looked like she could barely get a word out. The whole time, she poured her tea, waited on her, and catered to her every need like a devoted wife.

Many of Meng Lian's fans began asking what made Ding Xizi so special.

Then they found out that, despite her seeming obscurity, she was a content creator on a certain video platform with millions of followers.

The velvet flowers she made came in all shapes and sizes, lifelike and vivid.

She also had a pair of eyes that could make anyone blush and their heart race at a glance.

Her only flaw was that she was... a little face-blind. It seemed like she called everyone... A-Lian?
