Yin Bai once thought that Xiao Nian truly loved her. So, she graciously provided her with the best resources, elevating her to a revered position. ... more>>

After achieving fame and success, Xiao Nian, in the name of true love, unceremoniously kicked her aside.

Yin Bai became the most ridiculed patron in the entertainment industry. On the night when Xiao Nian received the Best Actress award, she publicly declared her lifelong love in front of Yin Bai, infuriating her. She stormed off to the parking lot, where she took her anger out on her car with a cane, creating a resounding cacophony.

Coincidentally, this awkward scene was witnessed by Xiao Nian's arch-rival, Zuo Jing You.

Yin Bai promptly put away the cane, cleared her throat, adjusted her sleeves, and casually greeted her, "Long time no see, Miss Zuo. The weather today is quite pleasant, isn't it?"

Zuo Jing You remained calm and composed, saying, "Ms. Yin, please rest assured, I didn't see anything."

After saying this, Zuo Jing You walked past Yin Bai, leaving her so infuriated that she nearly snapped her cane that evening.

A few days later, Yin Bai encountered Zuo Jing You and another person having an argument in the hospital corridor. The man on the other side, with red eyes, uttered a memorable line, "You only lost a husband who didn't love you, but he lost genuine love!"

Yin Bai paused, locking eyes with Zuo Jing You's profound gaze. She then sympathetically mouthed, "I didn't hear anything..."

Yin Bai: I thought I was the little prince who tamed the rose. In the end, I realized I wasn't. I was just a little rose with four thorns who thought I could do as I pleased.

Zuo Jing You: I used to think that in love, as long as I did well enough, it would be sufficient. But love isn't that simple; it's not enough for just one person to do well.

So this time, I will learn to love you properly.

Verkley grabbed Eliana’s collar. His gaze was entirely focused on her. Then, he whispered imploringly once more.

“You tamed me, Lili. You have to take responsibility.”

While struggling to survive in the unknown world, King Kasser visited Eugene and demanded that a contract be fulfilled and come to fruition.

Yu Kai is widely regarded as the cherished love interest of Liu Yueming, someone who is untouchable in the eyes of everyone.... more>>

However, she alone experiences the bitter anguish within her heart. Throughout the past six years, she has consistently played a subservient role, enduring the discomfort of receiving cold treatment despite her genuine efforts. She believed that Liu Yueming’s lack of verbal affection could be overcome through wholehearted dedication, hoping to warm her heart in the process.

In the sixth year of being together, Yu Kai, having achieved the title of Best Actress, meticulously prepared a key necklace to unlock the icy padlock and officially become Liu Yueming’s girlfriend.

But amidst the ambiguous play of light and shadow, the usually reserved Liu Yueming was seen smiling and holding hands with another woman, engaging in lively conversations and displaying intimate gestures.

Liu Yueming approached her while holding the woman’s hand, introducing her as an “old friend” from the past. She further expressed the need for them to get along well in the future.

As she gazed at the woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to herself, it was as if a crushing blow had struck her.

“I couldn’t care less about her.” she muttered. Despite being a stand-in for six years, she still foolishly entertained the notion of transforming from a mere sparrow to a phoenix.

Then with a sudden awakening, Yu Kai found herself transported back to the very same place she was six years ago.

In this lifetime, she’ll no longer love.

However, after being reborn, the award-winning actress seemed to have undergone a transformation. The once distant person who never initiated embraces now willingly embraced her. She, who had never allowed herself to be kissed, now took the initiative to steal kisses from her. The one who always maintained a cold demeanor would even blush and express affectionate words in her arms, saying, “I love Xiao Yu the most.”

Damn rebirth, she was frightened by it. She needed to quickly save money and provisions to run away.

ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

Liu Yueming was reborn, and she realized that the lovebird she had nurtured was still just as obedient as before.

However, after their intimate encounters in the late night, Yu Kai no longer regarded her with eyes filled with love, nor did she inquire about her feelings.

In that case, she had to take the initiative herself.

Until one day, the lovebird packed a small parcel and said, “Yueming, thank you for your care. I have settled all the debts at home, and from now on, we are even…”

Liu Yueming was taken aback. The long-awaited confession had turned out to be a farewell?

The elegant and aloof award-winning actress, unable to sleep all night, hurriedly made her way to her home.

She confronted her, forcefully pinning her against the wall, her eyes burning with a crimson hue.

“Didn’t you love me in our past life?”

ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

During the intense clash between their devoted fan bases, Liu Yueming posted on her Weibo account: “My dear Kai, I look forward to your guidance in the future.”

The post is accompanied by a picture where two lovely hands are tightly clasped, each adorned with rose-colored diamond rings from a certain brand’s Love series, known as “K.”

Yu Kai replied, “I have plucked the moon.” She accompanied her response with the same image.

As a result, on that day, the devoted fans of both parties were in a frenzy on Weibo, rushing around in distress and shedding tears.

The fans of the couple (CP) exploded with excitement, causing the webpage to crash for the entire day. <<less

Yan Yan has become the cannon fodder in the novel.... more>>

Young Master Cannon Fodder was lost when he was a child, and when he was found he was covered with scent of red dust (1), his lazy look provoked annoyance. So it didn’t take long for the cannon fodder to be sent to marriage by his family. The marriage partner is the protagonist of the book.

After the marriage, the cannon fodder not only failed to curb it, but became more able to do it. He pestered the protagonist all day acting coquettish, and finally the protagonist gave the cannon fodder a huge sum of money and drove the person out of the house.

After seeing the “end” of the cannon fodder, Yan Yan’s eyes lit up. Behave in a spoiled manner? He is best at it. It is guaranteed that the protagonist will not be able to bear it within three months, and he will be driven out with a huge sum of money.

Because of a favor owed by his father, Ji Juechuan, who has already achieved something at a young age, had to marry the young master of the Yan family who doesn’t love his mother or father.

On the first day of cohabitation before marriage, Ji Juechuan sat on the side of the bed and looked at his mobile phone. His face became even more ugly when he thought that he would be sleeping in a bed with the perfume-scented person. He will make it clear as soon as he arrives, and let the man pay attention to his behavior.

The bathroom door opened, and a soft and refreshing ball rolled into his arms. The young man with wet hair raised his face and smiled sweetly: “Husband, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Ji Juechuan looked at the person in his arms for a long time, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

“Yes.”

Later, Yan Yan received a huge sum of money from Ji Juechuan. It was just that the ticket he had prepared was torn to pieces. The man’s hot hands pressed against his waist, his tone dangerous.

“Yanyan, our wedding hasn’t been held yet, where do you want to go?”

Yan Yan:? That’s not what it says in the book!

*Mr Ji at the beginning: #Who is his wife? Anyway, it’s not my wife#
