Gu Jiu had grown accustomed to his mother's constant criticism since childhood. Despite having decent grades and looks, he suffered from extreme low self-esteem. His insecurity made him gloomy, unsmiling, and resentful of high achievers. Then one day, a new neighbor moved in next door—someone not only academically brilliant but also tall, handsome, and from an incredibly wealthy family. In short, the newcomer was everything Gu Jiu despised. *Please don’t let us be in the same school,* he thought. On registration day, he turned around—and there was his new neighbor. *Same school doesn’t mean anything,* he told himself. The next day, his mother ordered him to befriend the boy. Gu Jiu: "..."

Su Ran possesses a remarkable voice. Five years ago, his unreliable childhood sweetheart pestered him relentlessly until he reluctantly agreed to voice a BL radio drama. Unexpectedly, it was well-received. Back then, as a soon-to-be high school senior, he had only a passing interest in voice acting and vanished without a trace, leaving behind just a captivating voice. Five years later, Xu Shi, the other lead from that drama, has become a legend in the online dubbing community. By chance, while attending a K-song channel birthday party for a friend, he noticed a moderator named Wei Shi. Wei Shi—the voice that disappeared without a trace yet lingered in Xu Shi’s memory.

When Chu Yun first met He Xining, the other had just turned eighteen—tall, lean, and exuding a cool, aloof arrogance, indifferent to everyone, as if detached and world-weary.

Perhaps it was from that moment that He Xining harbored something different toward her—forbidden desires planted, restraint eventually abandoned—until love grew wildly, breaking through the walls of reason.

◎Charming, reckless General Chi vs. cunning, delicate beauty Shen ◎Close proximity / Perfect match / Childhood sweethearts / Marriage / Sweet romance The Shen and Chi families are both military households, separated only by a wall. When General Chi whips his son into discipline, the crack of the whip carries clearly to Shen Qinghe, who sits beneath a peach tree soaking in the sun—her heart aching yet envious. Eldest Miss Shen has been frail and sickly since childhood, unable to practice martial arts. What she admires most is General Chi’s lively, rambunctious daughter next door, who climbs roofs if left unpunished for three days. Young General Chi, vibrant and full of energy, can’t stand the way Shen Qinghe gazes at her—soft, gentle eyes gleaming like water. A single glance from this delicate beauty burns like swallowing a fierce liquor, leaving a lingering fire that refuses to fade. At sixteen, matchmakers arrive at the Shen residence to arrange Qinghe’s marriage.

Chi Heng carries her desperately to the clinic, begging her not to fall asleep. Delirious, Qinghe leans limply against her slender shoulders, her voice hoarse as she teases half-jokingly, *"Promise you’ll marry me when we’re older, and I won’t sleep."Too afraid to upset her in such a state, Chi Heng nods eagerly: *"Fine, fine! As long as you recover, I’ll not only marry you—I’ll even have children with you!"* --- **Notes:** 1. Both take the lead (top), but due to Shen’s fragile health, she leans bottom. 2.

Ye Ze has lived to this age only to suddenly face two worldview-shattering revelations: 1. He obtains a system that tasks him with protecting the world, granting him superpowers straight out of a video game. But every time he unleashes a powerful move to vanquish evil, he transforms into the flawless image of a holy maiden for half an hour, earning the adoration of the masses. 2. My childhood friend has impeccable morals, exemplary academic records, was admitted to a top-tier university via math Olympiad, and has a thorough grasp of Marxist materialism… I’ve known him for seventeen years—how could he possibly not be human? A masterfully deceptive childhood friend (top) vs. a hapless transformed (bottom) plagued by mishaps yet devoted to protecting him. Notes: 1. The Moon Spirit Temple priestess’s skillset is inspired by the transformation ability of the female Dragon Witch characters in the MMORPG **"Tianxia 3."** 2. The protagonist’s transformed state has an overpowered "Mary Sue" trait (melodramatic and trope-heavy). At its core, this is a simple, old-fashioned story of "When the whole world loves you for your other face, only I’ve loved you faithfully all along"—except one half of the childhood pair has superpowers, and the other isn’t human…

Shen Yuhuan, a minor actress on the fringes of fame, noticed her girlfriend of six months suddenly growing distant. At first, she didn't pay it much mind. But when Shen Yuhuan caught her girlfriend cozying up with a young idol in a hotel room, she felt as if an entire grassland had sprouted above her head. Shen Yuhuan: *Hmph.* Just trash—nothing lost in throwing it away. Unexpectedly, that young idol began flooding the media with hit pieces, relentlessly badmouthing and overshadowing Shen Yuhuan. Just as Shen Yuhuan was reaching her limit, she heard a rumor—the idol had a wealthy backer. And that backer, it seemed, was none other than CEO Jing Yuan, now sitting across from her, offering a contract. *"Thank you for your admiration, CEO Jing."* With a smile, Shen Yuhuan signed the contract, then grasped Jing Yuan’s fingertips: *"I heard you’re also in need of a fiancée. Do you think I’d be a good fit?"* Jing Yuan: *"?"* After joining Jingxin Entertainment, Shen Yuhuan seemed to unlock a sudden buff—brand deals poured in, film scripts awaited her choosing, and her career skyrocketed overnight, turning her into a sensation. Her cheating ex, stricken with regret, suddenly came crawling back, begging for reconciliation on set every day. Fed up, Shen Yuhuan stood at the entrance in full costume and told her to scram. The ex wept dramatically: *"Xiao Yu, I was wrong! It was just a fling—you’re the only one I love!"* Disgusted, Shen Yuhuan was about to snap when Jing Yuan appeared out of nowhere. Arm hooked possessively around Shen Yuhuan’s waist, the CEO—whose devastating beauty was matched only by her icy demeanor—growled: *"Stay away from my wife."* --- In Shencheng’s elite circles, everyone knew Jing Yuan—scion of the most powerful family, blessed with a face that could topple nations, yet living with monastic detachment, seemingly untouched by worldly desires. Rumors painted her as ruthless, decisively cutting ties without sentiment—an unmelting glacier of a woman. Still, countless suitors, men and women alike, attempted to scale this unapproachable peak, only to freeze at its base. When news broke of Jing Yuan’s marriage, the public reeled—who could it be? They dredged up every rumored childhood fling, even kindergarten *scandals*. No one suspected Shen Yuhuan. *"LMAO, just because they have a photo together, she thinks she can reach the Jings?"* *"That’s Shencheng’s top dynasty—not something a D-list celeb like her could ever cling to."* Then, after a viral poll pairing Jing Yuan with various "candidates," the perpetually silent CEO’s Weibo suddenly sprang to life: **Jing Yuan V**: *My wife* @Shen Yuhuan. *Stop provoking her—she’s hard to coax when angry.* --- **[Mini Theater]** On their second meeting, Shen Yuhuan boldly linked fingers with Jing Yuan to ask for her WeChat. From then on, she never stopped flirting: *"CEO Jing, what’s your type?"* *"Your lips look so kissable!"* *"Jing-jie, am I not pretty enough?"* When tabloids claimed the two had spent *three wild days* in a hotel—Shen Yuhuan so sore she had to be carried out—she nearly choked: *"We were rehearsing! And what ‘three days’?! This iceberg’s almost thirty with zero dating history—she’s probably frigid!"* Unbeknownst to her, Jing Yuan was right outside the door. Three days later, a thoroughly wrecked Shen Yuhuan whimpered for mercy. Jing Yuan, thumb grazing her swollen lips: *"Still think I’m frigid?"*
