In her past life, Qiu Che disguised herself as a man to take the imperial exams in her brother's stead. For her father and brother's so-called grand scheme, she ruthlessly married Li Qingwu, the empire's most favored princess. Yet in ten years of marriage, she never once laid a finger on her. On the day she became the all-powerful chancellor, she died at the hands of her own father. Her brother climbed over her corpse to fame and success. In the chilly depths of a spring night, she perished silently within the chancellor's estate. It was her wife—whom she had never spared a glance—who gathered her bones, set the estate ablaze, and finally drew a sword across her own throat before Qiu Che's grave. When she opened her eyes again, it was Zhenfeng Year 18. The year she had just topped the imperial exams, basking in the spring breeze of triumph. As her horse pranced through the streets, she suddenly lifted her gaze—and there, encircled by attendants, stood a figure on the pavilion, quietly watching her from above. A crimson beauty mark, painted lips, breathtaking splendor. Eyes burning with inextinguishable starlight. Only in this life did Qiu Che finally learn that the ill-fated bond she once deemed a product of her own deceit was, in truth, Li Qingwu kneeling thrice in the golden hall, pleading with all her heart to secure. She was Li Qingwu, the model of noble grace—whose only rebellion in life was this. And she was the unattainable longing that haunted Li Qingwu's countless days and nights. ---

Cen Kangning, a recent college graduate, had his grad school offer rescinded and got crushed in the job hunt. After 22 years of grinding like a workhorse, he was exhausted and just wanted to lie flat like a salted fish. Right then, his family set him up on a blind date. As an adoptee, Cen Kangning had seen this coming, so he showed up. On the day, an auntie arrived—no sign of the actual match, who was seven years older than him. Cen Kangning wasn’t thrilled. No matter how low he thought of himself, he wouldn’t sell himself for a 200,000 dowry, right? Until the auntie casually dropped the match’s current situation: "Due to family reasons, they need to marry ASAP. Originally a professor abroad, they’ve returned home. To secure them, P University is offering a spouse a library administrator job—permanent staff." Cen Kangning: "?" "Auntie, it’s not that I’m into job security, but I’ve always had a thing for older men." "Husband, right? Say something." He turned with a smile to the cold, bespectacled man sitting nearby, his shirt buttoned meticulously to the top. Qi Zhao, who’d been watching the whole time: "Hmph." — Qi Zhao thought Cen Kangning was flippant and shameless—who calls a stranger "husband" on first meeting? Yet months later, he’d move heaven and earth just to hear that word again.

Yet, his mother pressed him with threats of suicide, leaving Li Qingshan no choice but to agree—though he couldn’t help but worry about whether the fish youth would be easy to get along with. # After fleeing the floods in Nanjiang, the young man Liu Yu, who relied only on his grandmother, married a poor man from Taoyuan Village to secure residency in Yunshui County.

In their youth, they loved passionately and ardently, then broke up. As adults, they seized a chance encounter to marry in a whirlwind, so they did.

Yu Ting was cheated on. His ex-girlfriend Ran Xue fell for someone else abroad and decided to spend her life with a French woman. But the Yu and Ran families had long arranged a marriage alliance, a matter of great importance. The Yu patriarch issued an ultimatum: if Yu Ting wanted to inherit the family fortune, he couldn’t break the contract. — Ran Ling, Ran Xue’s older sister and the eldest daughter of the Ran family, was a true Jiangnan beauty—graceful, gentle as water. Unable to speak, she lived in seclusion, frail and dependent on others. Yu Ting married her, thinking it was a tacit business arrangement, only to realize how demanding she was after bringing her home— She was tender, offering the gentlest care when Yu Ting was dead drunk; sweet and shy, calling Yu Ting “wife” in careful strokes on paper; yet fragile-hearted. Though three years older, she’d cry if Yu Ting ignored her messages, refusing to eat until coaxed. If she caught a whiff of another’s perfume on Yu Ting, she’d drag her into the bathroom, scrubbing her over and over with her own soap, determined to imprint her scent. Fragile, obsessive, and capricious. One moment, she’d promise to behave; the next, if Yu Ting got too close to another woman, she’d threaten to run away—barefoot, just to make Yu Ting ache for her. Yet Yu Ting grew obsessed. Though mute, she’d hum seductively in passion. When her voice returned, her favorite thing was draping over Yu Ting, whispering in her ear: “Lo-ve Ting-ting~” She wanted to hide Ting-ting away.

To prepare for adulthood, Tong Qinghe submitted his personal pheromone data to the national AO system for matching. In less than three days, the results came in—an alpha's pheromones matched his at 100% compatibility. ...100% compatibility meant the state would assign him this alpha.
