I Confessed to the Movie Queen on My Deathbed, but I Didn’t Die

The public image of actress Sheng Zhi has always been terrible. She’s infamous for scandal after scandal, and every day people ask why she hasn’t left the industry yet.

She finally joins a charity variety show to improve her image, only to get caught in an earthquake and buried beneath the rubble for two days and two nights.

Half-conscious, Sheng Zhi decides on a prank. Summoning the last of her strength, she messages the rival of the award-winning actress.

[I’m dying. The truth is, I love you.]

But the moment she sends the message, Sheng Zhi is rescued, with the award-winning actress herself leading the rescue team.

Staring at the actress’s bloodshot eyes, Sheng Zhi thinks: Is it too late to die now?

-

Later, Sheng Zhi explains until she’s practically lost her voice. “It was a misunderstanding. I really don’t like you.”

Zuo Lingyue gives a soft laugh. “Mm, I believe you. It was a prank, after all.”

At the same time, she kisses her without a moment’s hesitation.

Caught completely off guard, Sheng Zhi’s legs go weak from the kiss. Eyes wide, she thinks: If you believe me, then why are you kissing me?!

[Coming next] Marriage First Aid

After five years of marriage, Liu Fei’s wife is attentive, considerate, gentle, and virtuous, the model spouse in everyone else’s eyes.

But Liu Fei alone knows their marriage is dull and lifeless, as boring as a stagnant pond.

Behind her wife’s refined and graceful exterior lies a whole host of flaws. She has mild germophobia and an obsessive-compulsive streak so extreme it borders on perverse. She even sets an alarm to strictly limit their time in bed.

No matter how passionate and lost in each other they are, the moment the alarm goes off, her wife immediately pushes her away and says coldly, “Time’s up.”

Over thirty and with a healthy appetite, Liu Fei finally reaches her limit. “Let’s get divorced.”

-

Liu Fei is sick of her marriage, and even more fed up with Lin Yuqing’s indifferent response when she brings up divorce. Lin Yuqing agrees so calmly that Liu Fei feels as if their five years together were a joke.

What’s even harder to bear is that although she and Lin Yuqing have agreed to divorce, the mandatory cooling-off period means they still have to spend thirty days together, unable to stand the sight of each other.

Liu Fei resolves to part ways with Lin Yuqing as soon as the cooling-off period ends, never to see her again.

At the start of the cooling-off period, Liu Fei says, “Don’t get too close. We’re getting divorced soon.”

Some time later, Liu Fei says, “Lin Yuqing, my chest hurts. Rub it for me.”

Later still, Liu Fei says, “We’re getting divorced soon, but we’re not divorced yet. What’s wrong with a kiss?”

Faced with Liu Fei’s bold advances, Lin Yuqing blushes from her neck to her ears. She swallows hard and turns away. “Back to the bedroom.”

When things get heated, Lin Yuqing automatically reaches for the alarm again. Liu Fei’s face darkens. “Throw that damn alarm clock away!”

Lin Yuqing pauses, then obediently does as she’s told.

…

Later, the two of them often go at it until dawn, unable to get enough of each other. With aching legs and a sore back, Liu Fei grits her teeth and wonders: Is it too late to fish that alarm clock out of the trash?
