[Frontline war photographer Qu Wan vs. overseas aid doctor Yu Jiuwei]
No ties to the entertainment industry. Don't make up rumors.

■ Serious drama + modern alternate setting + happy ending
■ Each volume is told from a different character's point of view
■ Not angsty at all, and not based on real people
■ A story about people who love peace
1. War was raging in Tali. It was impossible to know whether tomorrow or an accident would come first. As a war photographer, Qu Wan felt the warmth inside her being worn away by cruelty.
By a twist of fate, she met Yu Jiuwei, captain of the Jinghua medical team.
From finding her camera and treating her wounds to dodging bullets in the ruins and helping clear mines, Yu Jiuwei was there through it all. The feelings in Qu Wan's heart, too obscure for her to put into words, only grew more intense.
She gave Qu Wan paper cranes for good luck, traveled to the war zone for her, and even slipped her own handwritten diary into Qu Wan's bag. But when she saw a popular actress's messages on Yu Jiuwei's phone, Qu Wan hesitated, uncertain about the depth of her own feelings.
Her heart knotted with an ache she couldn't explain.
Even on the eve of their parting, they disagreed over an interview.
Qu Wan tried to talk with Yu Jiuwei about signing a release form, but all she heard was Yu Jiuwei's reply: "Not interested."
2. After returning home, the two met again by chance.
By then, Qu Wan was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. She didn't want to get too entangled with Yu Jiuwei. Her memories of Tali were precious, but she'd already chosen to forget them.
No matter how firmly Qu Wan turned her down, Yu Jiuwei persisted, accompanying her to treatment, cheering her up, teaching her to shoot, and pressing closer at every turn.
Whenever their eyes met, the heat in Yu Jiuwei's gaze left Qu Wan reeling.
When Qu Wan realized she was becoming more and more dependent on Yu Jiuwei, she grew frightened and flustered. It seemed far better to withdraw her feelings than to never have had them at all and suffer the pain of withdrawal.
At last, one day she ended up at the police station. As she was leaving, an officer said, "Next time, you'll need a family member to pick you up."
Yu Jiuwei came to collect her, and Qu Wan apologized in a faint voice, her feelings too complicated to express.
To her surprise, Yu Jiuwei patiently reached out and pulled her into an embrace, her voice full of concern:
"Would you consider letting me become your family, officially?"

■ [Star hypnotist Chen Qing'er vs. guzheng player Nan Li]
■ To be continued... Blurb screenshot dated March 2, 2024
Only after Nan Li died did she learn that Chen Qing'er had loved her since they were young.
Chen Qing'er fought for her, waited all night beside a flickering streetlamp outside an alley, and saved up to buy her a guzheng.
During the ten years they were apart, Chen Qing'er prepared a birthday gift for her every year.
She was so obsessively devoted that she was sentenced to death for Nan Li, yet never once said she loved her.
Later, Nan Li leaped from a tall building and was reborn on the night before she met Chen Qing'er. This time, she decided to be more proactive and protect Chen Qing'er properly.
But at a glittering, bustling party where guests mingled over drinks,
Chen Qing'er merely glanced at her, her expression cold: "You've mistaken me for someone else."
Nan Li's hand froze halfway through raising her glass, and her heart shattered beneath the lights.
Only when she saw the lychee pendant on Chen Qing'er's wrist did she find a moment's peace.
--
The world's leading hypnotist, Chen Qing'er, returned home for two reasons:
1: Find out the truth behind her mother's suicide.
2: Find Nan Li.
She never would have imagined that the quiet girl from years ago would become like a little wild leopard, always rushing to shield her from everything.
Nan Li could even figure out all her routes and thwart every plan she made.
When Chen Qing'er finally couldn't hold back and asked her about it, Nan Li abandoned her usual reserve and gave her a languid glance.
"Come over and kiss me, and I'll tell you."
Theme: May we carry not only gentle breezes and bright moons on our shoulders, but also responsibility and commitment.
Personally, I feel that the life in the small hospital behind gives people the feeling of being in a dream. The reunion on the battlefield behind is the reality. The doctors still set off at the funeral, and the reporters set off to the front line. That is their love and mission.
After reading it, I still have more to say! After eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, I seemed to have traveled to the war zone described in the article, witnessed the smoke-filled battlefield with my own eyes, and became a lucky survivor amidst the roar of artillery fire. This subject matter is rare. The author must have done a lot of homework. Thank you for your hard work! Little Jiujiu, little Cricket, I love you (confess loudly)
I have been collecting it for a long time and haven't seen the ending. I stayed up all night to watch it tonight. The ending is really worth recalling. But after reading it, I felt a little empty. I don't know how to describe this feeling. Just like the extra said, there is a lot of blank space, but it made me feel that they are real. Gao Kaiping was distracted at the end. Thank you to the author for letting me read this story.
After reading it, I just feel that many places were not explained clearly.
I bought a lot of war correspondent books and was very touched by them.
The ending is a bit rushed. Looking at the word count in the last few chapters, I thought I wouldn't be on the battlefield again. .
Thank you for the healing stories in such a terrible world
Finished with Spreading Flowers. When I followed that account, I felt that he was a treasured author. You stood in their world and wrote their own stories. But I was satisfied with reading it. I look forward to seeing you in the next book soon.
[Like] "Recognize" is a big bug for the author~
It's so beautiful. It celebrates the war heroes in the peaceful era and is full of positive energy.
