After Bai Yin’s mother passed away, her father quickly brought his mistress and illegitimate daughter to the family home, while young Bai Yin was sent to live with her grandmother in the countryside.... more>>

Years later, the family brought Bai Yin back home. Everyone assumed that she, having grown up in the countryside, would be unsophisticated and unable to fit in with high society.

But no one expected the stunning woman who stepped out of the car, wearing a light blue qipao embroidered with exquisite su embroidery peonies, with long hair cascading down her shoulders. Her delicate features were like misty landscapes, and upon closer inspection, her eyes and brows were breathtakingly beautiful.

She even outshone her half-sister, who had already gained some fame in the entertainment industry.

…

Bai Yin was only brought back to the family to replace her half-sister, who had already debuted, in a commercial marriage.

On the day of the wedding, the groom thought he was marrying a country bumpkin and ran away.

As the situation was about to turn into a farce, an old man named Chen, who had watched Bai Yin grow up, couldn’t bear to see her in such a state and called his grandson.

Half an hour later, a bright red sports car, covered in white roses, pulled up in front of the bride.

The man got out of the car, leaned against it, and grinned arrogantly, “Grandpa asked me to save the day. Am I the emcee or the best man?”

The emcee was embarrassed and said, “Right now…we’re just missing the groom.”

“…”

Bai Yin stunned everyone by exchanging wedding rings with Chen Huaixiao, a national heartthrob.

Her half-sister was so jealous that she almost scratched her palms raw.

*

As the prince of the Chen family conglomerate, Chen Huaixiao held immense power and influence.

Under his icy and noble exterior lay a cunning and ruthless mind, which had brought the conglomerate to the top in just a few years.

When he wasn’t wearing a suit, he loved extreme sports, rock climbing, and high-speed racing…

In the face of danger, he could still ride the edge with ease.

He even managed to turn his daredevil lifestyle into s*x appeal, attracting a horde of screaming female fans.

But then he settled down and stopped racing as much.

Until a photo surfaced…

Chen Huaixiao sat in the car, his mouth curved in a smile, absently playing with the qipao button on Bai Yin’s neck.

His eyes were filled with affection.

Bai Yin clung to him tightly, her face pressed against his neck, nervously looking back at the perilous cliff behind her.

In the face of adversity, the sun rose slowly.

The story of the cool and collected qipao girl and the sexy and domineering CEO.

“From now on, you are my cliff and my peak.” <<less

The media in Pingcheng was buzzing with rumors that the cynical young master of the Liang family and the proud and willful young lady of the Ming family were engaged!... more>>

There were pictures to prove it.

In the photo, the young master of the Liang family was dressed sharply in a suit, with a frivolous and carefree expression. The young lady of the Ming family held his arm, with her dark hair and red lips, appearing gentle and charming.

They looked like a perfect couple.

In response, their friends laughed it off: With their bickering relationship since childhood, the feeling of mutual annoyance is almost overflowing from the screen. Even if they get married, they would still play their own way.

It wasn’t until their friends unexpectedly raided Liang Xian’s apartment–

–Liang Xian was casually standing at the door, wearing loose pajamas and holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking impatient and indifferent.

Before the friends could say anything, they saw a fair and tender hand reaching over from behind the man and wrapping around his waist.

The proud young lady had her eyes closed, rubbing against his arm, her sweet and soft voice sounding drowsy: “Who is it?”

Liang Xian raised his hand and gently touched her hair, his voice indifferent yet gentle, “Wrong door, go back to sleep.”

Friends: “???”

A certain hot topic: 「Why do Wen Li and Song Yan have so many CP fans?」... more>>

The original poster wrote: It’s obvious that they’ve been married for two years, but they do not have any movie or TV collaborations, or variety show shots in the same frame, and I have never seen them interact on social media. The entertainment industry accepts them as a couple with a contract marriage where they are even too lazy to act like they are in love. I am extremely puzzled by why they have so many CP fans. I swear I am not black.

The popular reply: 「CP fan here letting myself in. To clarify for the original poster: They really don’t interact much, and their sugar is observed under a microscope. But—

1. In terms of appearance, they are a pair with god-like faces. When our Three Powers was a young newcomer, someone had a YY of what they would look like in the same frame. Afterwards, the picture exploded in the industry. Black Swan x White Moonlight. A huge number of similar personas in the entertainment industry emerged rapidly as food substitutes.

2. In terms of fame ranking, they are both first-tier. They are strong in every sense, okay?

3. There are so many fairy madams in the inner circle. They write fanfiction, draw fanart, and edit videos and photos; they eat grain and eat until they burst. They are reluctant to leave the pit when they think about getting out.

To summarize: No matter how much of a plastic couple people say they are, we will still ship this CP as long as they never announce a divorce!」 <<less

The rebellious, rich second-generation Chi Xueyan was forced to go on a blind date for the 11th time. He cut straight to the chase: I have a hot temper, I snore when I sleep, and I haven’t deleted my countless exes. If you can accept it, we will get the marriage certificate on the spot.... more>>

The handsome man named He Qiao sat opposite him and was silent for a moment with a strange expression. Then he nodded and said he was a book transmigrator. He knew that Chi Xueyan was the supporting male villain in this novel role and would become the future marriage partner of the protagonist Lu Siyi. He gradually lost himself in an increasingly paranoid unrequited love, did all sorts of bad things and eventually died.

He Qiao couldn’t bear to see Chi Xueyan, who was still active and healthy, end up like that. Therefore, he proposed to marry Chi Xueyan to avoid the plot. In any case, he was a workaholic straight man who only wanted to use the information from the novel to develop his career for the benefit of the public.

Chi Xueyan heard this and suddenly realized: Use advance as a retreat and use the typical schizophrenic symptoms to scare off blind dates. This person was an expert.

He decisively remembered this trick and waved his hand to pay the bill as his token of appreciation.

Soon, Chi Xueyan ran into a handsome man who completely matched his aesthetics. Moreover, he didn’t hesitate to take the initiative to ask for the other person’s name and contact information.

As a result, the handsome man replied with an indifferent expression, “I am Lu Siyi.”

Chi Xueyan: “……!!!”

This name was too familiar.

Two weeks later, under the gazes of his relatives and friends, Chi Xueyan affectionately exchanged rings and kisses with his 11th blind date and the mysterious book transmigrator, He Qiao.

Initially, He Qiao was very wary of Chi Xueyan, the scheming and vicious villain of the novel. After the two of them cooperated to pretend to love each other and tricked their families into allowing them to get married smoothly, he planned to focus on his career and not interfere with the other person.

However, Chi Xueyan finally settled down from the chaos and started seriously studying the novel’s plot. He would occasionally come to the company to find He Qiao.

Unlike the arrogant and willful boss' wife that the employees imagined, Chi Xueyan mostly curled up on the sofa with a small blanket while quietly reflecting on his 2D life.

Occasionally, he would raise his head and ask, “Did Lu Siyi never like me at all?”

“…Yes.”

“He has no vision.” Chi Xueyan sneered and rolled over. “How did he become the male protagonist when you are obviously much better than him!”

He Qiao didn’t know why, but the investment plan in his hand suddenly became unsatisfactory.

What a scheming villain.

On the first anniversary of their agreed-upon wedding, He Qiao arranged the most romantic dinner and the brightest roses. He met Chi Xueyan’s blank eyes and finally asked the question he had been worrying about in his heart for a long time.

“You have a good temper and you sleep very quietly so…” He Qiao seemed casual. “Is it true that you haven’t deleted any of your exes?”

Chi Xueyan: “……”

What a scheming straight man. <<less
