He plucks a star from the sky; he burns a cluster of ashes on the ground.... more>>

For Chi Qiu, Lu Ming is an unreachable star in the sky.
Until one day, the star itself falls into his hands and says to him: I love you, I love you.
Chi Qiu believes it.

For Lu Ming, Chi Qiu is a small fire hidden in the dark. You see, he is obedient like a flower in a greenhouse. But in fact, he is lonely and stubborn, burning to ashes in the spring.

Lu Ming becomes Chi Qiu’s star and spring.

— “Lu Ming, in fact, it doesn’t matter who you marry. Just because I can’t see, so it’s the most convenient for you, right?”
— “Chi Qiu, I want to return the spring to you.” <<less

Ji Zhen Tang first saw Zhong Yu Bai at her boyfriend’s birthday banquet.... more>>

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the man sat calmly in the midst of swirling smoke, unruffled, quietly listening to the conversations around the table.

Her boyfriend leaned in to whisper to her, giving her a heads-up: “That’s my third uncle, don’t provoke him, I can’t handle it.”

On the same day of the birthday banquet, her boyfriend got drunk and embarrassed her in front of everyone.

Leaving the Zhong family mansion, she walked in the rain. Before long, an umbrella was held over her head, and Ji Zhen Tang looked back.

The person following her turned out to be the same uncle from earlier. The man smiled gently, with a comforting tone, “Let me walk with you a bit.”

–

Meeting her ex-boyfriend again at a friend’s gathering, they were now former lovers.

Ji Zhen Tang overheard her ex-boyfriend’s tone full of envy as he talked about his uncle, mentioning how Zhong Yu Bai bought a tea plantation in the prime land of the mountains and rivers for his little girlfriend.

People started gossiping, “Which woman is so lucky?”

Before anyone could finish their words, someone stepped in from outside. The man exuded an imposing aura, silencing the whole room.

Without paying attention to anyone else, Zhong Yu Bai walked straight to Ji Zhen Tang and gently embraced her.

“The feng shui of the mountains and rivers is suitable for begonias. Since she likes it, everything is negotiable.”

–

Ji Zhen Tang had heard about Zhong Yu Bai from others, portraying him as a high-status, gentle and wealthy man. Mr. Zhong was perfect in every aspect, except for being too ruthless and not understanding the meaning of compassion.

But she had clearly seen it. When she was sick, he patiently brewed medicine for her by the stove, gently massaging her numb and painful hand until late into the night.

He spoke words of comfort in the softest and gentlest manner, afraid of troubling her.

“Does it still hurt?”

Zhong Yu Bai listened with a smile, his eyes full of affection as he gazed at his sparrow—

“She is a bird, and I am not her cage.”

“I am her sanctuary.” <<less

I fell in love. Her name was Shirasaka Yukino. I could only look at her from a distance. However one day I heard that she... more>> already had a boyfriend. Even if I love her, I can’t have her. The devil sent me an invitation. I can make her mine! <<less

Betrayed by my most trusted companion, I was banished. I closed my eyes as I vowed for revenge, so how come I became the child of the Duke of the Empire of Heiron, which has been at odds with Cillophia?... more>>

The problem was…

“Abuu!”

“Ah, it’s really annoying. Keep on biting your pacifier.”

My eyes widened as I s**ked on the pacifier in a reflex.

‘What did I just do?’

Has my brain been filled with water and ran off because of the pacifier?

Even without the pacifier, I have completely become a newborn with a head full of flowers.

This was the biggest stain in the life of the Sorceress Hella.

‘Since it has already become like this, then I’ll just steal some top secret and go back.’

I have to be unnoticed and covert!

Today too, Celina’s been crawling desperately between the pillars and trees.

“That… Whose child is that? Who’s taking care of the child like that?”

An angry roar resounded behind her but it was none of Celina’s business. <<less

Meeting you was the happiest thing in my life. Thank you. And also. I'm sorry.

Nurse Bai Yan and Mayor’s assistant Kang Jian suddenly got married, but they realized that this was not a Cinderella and Prince storyline. He already had a lover in his arms, and there were political enemies watching from behind. Her mother-in-law regarded her as a thorn in her eye, while her father-in-law and her mother were old acquaintances. It was all very confusing. ... more>>

Later, Bai Yan stated: if you are a sparrow that accidentally becomes a phoenix, don’t take it too seriously, it’s just a legend.

One flower that never withers, one that stays fresh throughout the seasons in the river of time, one that shines in your purest years with its youth and beauty, and one that you remember with a gentle smile even as you age gracefully.

We’ve all had beautiful first loves.

There is always a most cherished memory hidden in our hearts.

Love is elusive, but marriage is very realistic.

Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.

There are always various reasons why two people in love may not necessarily walk down the aisle together.

What should you do if you cannot marry the person you love?

After Kang Jian and Bai Yan broke up, their lives went through many ups and downs. The road of love was long and uncertain, and the hand of fate was unpredictable. Where would their love end up? Would they forget each other in the world or stay together through thick and thin?

Do you have a paper rose in your heart?

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less
