Modern Day

A Lifetime’s Glance, A Year’s End

If you were to meet someone, once a surgeon. At thirteen, he and your mother were both rescued in the same hospital, but unexpectedly, six or seven years later, he lost his hearing. No longer able to perform surgery, he picked up books instead and became an ordinary university teacher.

If he, like you, had a mother who abandoned him, and a father he could never speak of. If he lost his health in the process of a nationwide effort to save lives. If he loved you…

“To have Gu Pingsheng, my life holds no regrets.”

It’s just the story of two rather unfortunate souls warming each other.

Six months ago, Cheng Liu got herself a boyfriend. Unfortunately, her work kept her incredibly busy, constantly on the move. Aside from sending money, she had no time for him, leading to complaints about their fading relationship.

Cheng Liu: Was our relationship ever that strong to begin with?

Nevertheless, to nurture this relationship (and maintain her “not single” status), Cheng Liu decided to return early, subtly hinting at her return date in a WeChat message, assuming he would understand.

On the day of her arrival, Cheng Liu scanned the crowd at the airport exit and spotted a tall, handsome figure.

That’s him, she thought. Definitely my boyfriend. He looks even better than I remember, practically glowing.

Cheng Liu approached him and, taking the lily-of-the-valley from his hand, said, “Let’s go.”

A few days later, while shopping with her “boyfriend,” Cheng Liu ran into a couple. The man, looking panicked, quickly let go of the woman’s hand and accused Cheng Liu, “So, this is why you disappeared for six months! You cheated on me!”

Cheng Liu, completely bewildered: “???”

Thank you for the special invitation to participate in your love story.

In a stormy, rainy night, Banxia takes in a small, battered lizard that crawled into her house through the window. To care for it, she accidentally spends all her savings, nearly leaving herself without breakfast the next morning.

From then on, every morning, she is astonished to find her home spotless and a steaming hot breakfast waiting on the table.

One day, the magical little lizard suddenly disappears. Worried, Banxia ventures into the rain to search for it, only to find a drenched man in a bamboo grove, scales still visible on his ankles.

The man lies in pain among the bamboo leaves, covering his face with pale fingers, his voice low and trembling, “Don’t come near me. Don’t look at me…”

Banxia respects his words and stays by his side, shielding him from the storm all night with her umbrella.

She doesn’t want to see him weep in winter’s cold again. She cannot bear to let him flee, scarred and broken, into a lonely world. In a world where true understanding is rare, without him, no one else could stand by her side.

After an unexpected incident, their perspectives on each other begin to change…

A love story of two women who are tsundere for each other, gradually developing feelings through physical intimacy.

Morning, a certain hotel, the presidential suite’s large bed…

Chi Jia gets dressed: “Jing Rui, even if all the men and women in the world die, I still wouldn’t look at you!”

Jing Rui: “Please, Miss Chi, remember what you just said. Don’t come looking for me again.”

Pei You ordered a “top-tier girlfriend,” as advertised by the vendor, online, preparing to bring her to a party.

She planned to flaunt her “affection” with the fake girlfriend, making her ex-girlfriend present at the party green with envy.

The fake girlfriend was very beautiful, with a curvy figure.

She had a pair of charming, alluring eyes and two cute dimples.

Innocent yet regal, truly top-tier—

If only she wasn’t her ex-girlfriend.

Pei You sarcastically remarked: “You’ve fallen this low?”

Huo Yichi responded nonchalantly: “Trying to make me envious?”

Su Lingyue was the treasured pearl of the Su family, notorious for her capricious and overbearing temperament, acting with unbridled willfulness. According to rumors from that sophomore year summer camp, she had publicly humiliated Ji Zhiyi in front of their classmates, calling her a beggar who was unworthy of sharing the same tent. Not long after returning to school, Ji Zhiyi quietly processed her withdrawal papers and disappeared without a trace. Many classmates speculated that she couldn’t bear the emotional trauma, shaking their heads in sympathy and regret.

Years later, the Su Group underwent a sudden transformation—the company split in two, with half remaining in the Su family’s hands and half falling into Ji Zhiyi’s possession. Along with the company shares, Su Lingyue also fell under Ji Zhiyi’s authority.

Everyone suspected Ji Zhiyi had come seeking revenge, eagerly waiting to witness Su Lingyue’s downfall. Su Lingyue herself shared this belief.

On the day she brought Su Lingyue home, Ji Zhiyi personally designed a pair of princess shoes. Socialites in their circle buzzed with excitement, all vying to purchase them at premium prices. As the shoes’ value soared to astronomical heights, Ji Zhiyi retrieved them from their display case at the company’s annual gathering. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, she knelt down and, with meticulous care, placed them on Su Lingyue’s feet.

She returns consumed by hatred, scheming without restraint, using every means to get what she wants – climbing from one man’s bed to the next.

Song Nanyin had been having a rough time lately.

For one thing, the new boss who had parachuted in as her superior turned out to be Liu Zhaoran, the same old nemesis she had never gotten along with since university.

For another, her body had begun showing strange, unspeakable abnormalities. Then, of all people, Liu Zhaoran offered to help examine her.

What could possibly lie behind such sudden kindness?
