Once upon a time, there was a makeup artist who possessed outstanding skills and top-notch aesthetic judgement. When he did makeup for various stars, he could embellish sharpness onto the smooth vases that lacked edges, and he could make models who exceeded the boundaries of aesthetics to appear delicate and soft, more approachable to people.... more>>

Male stars loved to request him, for he had a thorough understanding of masculine charm in particular, and the makeup he did was never garishly slathered in oils or powders, instead exuding a natural, dashing air of elegance.

Female stars loved to request him, for not only was he excellent in his skills, he was also everyone’s closest confidant; when they chatted, he could easily hold any conversation, and his mouth would be tightly sealed, never allowing anyone’s privacy to slip out.

Although this person was quite young, after getting by in the makeup industry the past few years, he was virtually considered as a distinguished personality in his profession, and would be referred to as a ‘master’ wherever he went.

But he had a terrifying secret. He needed to carefully tread on thin ice and couldn’t expose even the slightest traces; otherwise, nobody would invite him to work ever again, and nobody would apply to the classes he led anymore.

That year, when the locust tree rustled, she looked at him eagerly, he paused for a few seconds, and said lightly, “It’s the most important friend.”

That year, there was another him by her side, and another her by his side. They are obviously in the same world, but they seem to be separated by a parallel universe.

That year, he said, if no one married you at the age of 30, I would marry you. They accompany and wait carefully, daring not to get too close, but also unwilling to go too far.

They buried their heads deep in the sand called friendship that had accumulated over the years.

It seems that that feeling, as long as it is not spoken, does not exist.

"HUH?" The hulking man shot the waiter a furious glare.

"Who are you supposed to be?" The hulking man eyed him with bulging eyes.

"This humble one is known as Xiao Se, the owner of this inn, the Fallen Snow Villa." Xiao Se replied with the same smile and with a level of courtesy worth a solid 12/10.

"Well, we have no money." The hulking man stabbed his blade into one of the nearby tables.

"Oh?"

"But I'm sure you have some!" The man pointed his finger at Xiao Se.

At that, Xiao Se furiously shook his head. "I'm sorry to break it to you but our little inn hasn't made a single sale in almost a month. I'm about to owe them salaries myself..."

"Like hell if I care!" The hulking man smashed his palm down on the table. "Even if you have no money, that fur coat of yours should at least be worth a hundred odd silvers."

The hulking man was stunned, his body even shivering involuntarily for that split second.

"I, Xiao Se, ride only the finest horse and wear only the richest threads! This fur coat of mine was specially sewn by some of the finest seamstresses in the imperial capital in the August Threads. Just sewing it took three whole months, shipping it, another one. Hmph, a hundred silvers? That's not even enough to buy the sleeves of my coat!" <<less

“Luo Zhi loves Sheng Huai Nan, but nobody knows about it.”... more>>

Have you ever loved a person, loved him so deeply to the point that your love was engraved in your bones, and yet, nobody knew about it?

As a result of a chance meeting that occurred when they were young, in the eleven years during which she grew up, Luo Zhi’s life always had indistinct impressions of Sheng Huai Nan.

His subsequent reappearance was so dazzling and so blinding, that from then on, Luo Zhi’s diary transformed into a one-act play – a one-act play that belonged solely to him.

As long as she took a single step forward, she would be able to break the distance that had built up between them within the past ten years. However, the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between us when I stand in front of you, loving you despite you having no idea that I love you. Rather, it is when I love you, and yet I am unable to touch you.
