I'm the One Who Was Seduced

[Updates at 7 p.m., six thousand words a day~]

The summer after Chen Xiren finished her college entrance exams, her mom brought home a little stepmom for her: Xue Wen, with black curls, glasses, and a long skirt. She looked so gentle and refined.

Everyone praised Xue Wen, saying she was even gentler than the breeze in Langcheng in late spring. Only Chen Xiren, with her sharp eyes, saw through her disguise.

That sharp eye wasn't something she was born with. She'd developed it purely because of that woman.

Xue Wen was two-faced. She wouldn't let Chen Xiren call her Mom or Auntie, insisting instead that she call her Sister in an unbearably sweet, soft voice. She was nearsighted, yet insisted on taking off her glasses and then used the excuse that she couldn't see clearly to pull Chen Xiren closer!

A light nightgown, a V-neck cut down to her chest, deliberately spilling wine on herself and pretending to be drunk so someone would come wipe it off... Behind her mother's back, Xue Wen did everything she could to be seductive around Chen Xiren, looking at her as if she wanted to devour her whole.

She thought it was an illicit game, until she tore away the woman's disguise with her own hands and discovered that her stepmom wasn't really her stepmom at all. This had all been an elaborate... funeral.

Coming next: Spring's Uncommon Bloom

[Second chance romance | Rental-apartment life | Reunion after years apart]

A sunny gaming genius before the breakup, a gloomy one after it · a gentle superstar before the breakup, a cold one after it

Meng Bufan had heard plenty of praise and well-wishes, but she remembered only what Lu Chunsheng had said.

That year, they were so young. They had shared a bed countless times in that shabby rental apartment.

At twenty, Chunsheng loved her most. A once-in-thirty-years snowstorm brought the roof beams crashing down. Everyone thought it would be their last day, and Chunsheng held her close and told her how much she loved her.

At twenty, Chunsheng hated her most. Standing amid the shards of broken glass scattered across the rental apartment, she smiled as if she were crying. "Meng Bufan, I hope you go far in life and make something truly extraordinary of yourself."

At twenty, Meng Bufan had nothing. No money, no love, only Chunsheng's curse-like blessing.

Later, Meng Bufan really did make an extraordinary life for herself.

The game Spring Returns dominated the domestic market, with countless devoted fans.

Forum threads kept popping up, all discussing one thing: how exactly do you trigger the hidden quest "Spring Never Falls"?

In the two years since Spring Returns launched, no one had cleared it.

Later, Spring Returns was adapted for the screen, and the creative team livestreamed themselves playing the game. Suddenly, an announcement appeared in the game's world.

"First clear on the server! Congratulations to player [Lu Chunsheng] for reaching the top of the rankings!"

The livestream instantly froze like a slideshow. Everyone wanted to know how the leading actress knew the trigger conditions for "Spring Never Falls."

Looking into the camera, Lu Chunsheng smiled without a trace of feeling. "Just a coincidence."

A few days later, the official Spring Returns account posted:

"It wasn't a coincidence. It was because it was you."
