Separation Ends, Love Returns [Entertainment Circle]

Qin Zheng is stunningly beautiful with countless suitors; during her school days, love letters filled her locker to the brim. Among them, one stood out—just a single sentence: *"It rained today."* She recognized the handwriting as Yun An's—the girl she loved for seven years, the one she had a passionate but tumultuous relationship with before being abandoned without a word. Furious, Qin Zheng tore the letter to pieces, only to meticulously piece it back together. She thought, *Even if I tear it, I’ll do it in front of Yun An when she finally shows up.* She waited and waited, but Yun An never came. Instead, she received 98 more letters from her. Turns out, that first letter wasn’t a love note—it was a suicide letter. --- **[Married Life Skit]** Qin Zheng adores strawberries. She believes her childhood deprivation of them left an indelible craving, making her insatiable as an adult. Learning this, Yun An planted half their yard with strawberries. After work, Qin Zheng often lounges in the garden, picking and nibbling. One evening, Yun An returned home to find Qin Zheng sprawled on the sofa, staring listlessly at the yard. She approached, asking, *"No strawberries today?"* *"Ate them all,"* Qin Zheng mumbled. Yun An glanced at the garden—every ripe berry was gone. Seeing Qin Zheng’s sulky expression, she took her hand and led her back to their room. *"What are you doing?"* Qin Zheng asked, confused. Yun An pulled her close. *"Planting strawberries."* --- The next morning, Qin Zheng crawled out of bed for water and caught sight of red marks peppering her skin. She bit her lip. *Why does Yun An love strawberries even more than I do?*

He Jinyi woke up to two strange things: She had gone back to being twenty-two. The woman who just moved in next door was the girlfriend from her dreams.

Su Lingyue is the apple of the Su family's eye, known for her capricious and domineering personality. Rumor has it that during a sophomore-year summer camp, she openly called Ji Zhiyi a beggar, unworthy of sharing a tent with her. Soon after returning to school, Ji Zhiyi withdrew without a trace, leaving many classmates to assume she couldn’t handle the humiliation, expressing pity and regret on her behalf. Later, the Su family suddenly faced turmoil—their company split in two, with half remaining in the Su family’s hands and the other half falling into Ji Zhiyi’s possession. Along with it, she took Su Lingyue. Everyone speculated Ji Zhiyi had returned for revenge, eagerly waiting to see Su Lingyue humiliated. Su Lingyue thought the same. On the day she brought Su Lingyue home, Ji Zhiyi personally designed a pair of princess shoes. High-society ladies were itching to buy them at exorbitant prices, driving the bidding to astronomical heights. At the company’s annual gala, Ji Zhiyi retrieved the shoes from the display case and, under everyone’s astonished gazes, knelt to carefully slip them onto Su Lingyue’s feet.

1. Neither sweet nor angsty. 2. Reality-oriented.

After two years together, Lu Zhenqiu discovered her girlfriend Tang Yingxia was cheating. Without confrontation or drama, she had a friend help her find a new place overnight and moved out immediately. As luck would have it, her new landlord was Tang Yingxia's archenemy, Jin Shuiluo—a renowned writer and screenwriter, aloof and hard to approach. Considered the industry's top-tier "flower on the high peak" (an eternal singleton), she had countless admirers but remained indifferent, with no gossip to her name. No one knew she had someone hidden deep in her heart. Later, that very person knocked on her door in the middle of the night and moved into her home. **Mini Theater:** After Jin Shuiluo's new book sold well, a magazine requested an online livestream with invited guests—including Tang Yingxia. Shortly after the stream started, dog barks came from Jin Shuiluo's end, and a golden retriever appeared on screen. The editor asked, bewildered, "Ms. Jin, don’t you not have a dog?" The forever-single queen Jin Shuiluo smiled faintly. "My girlfriend’s." The entire live chat: HOLY SH*T!!! Tang Yingxia saw the custom collar on the golden retriever and shot to her feet, her face turning green. **Notes:** 1. Revenge on scum + PDA. 2. The fic was written by a cat. 3. Stay or leave as you please—no need to announce it.
