Ye Zhenzhen was born beautiful, from a happy family, and had excellent grades, only to die of cancer just after graduating from college.
She closed her eyes and opened them again, finding her...

Zhao Nanqiao first saw the video on the popular C-site. After clicking on it, before even seeing the content, she was dazzled by the screen full of advanced bullet comments.
Various cool, colorful, and uniquely designed bullet comments covered the screen like layers of newspaper pasted on a wall. Zhao Nanqiao gasped, then looked down at the more than 3 million views, along with hundreds of thousands of likes, favorites, and coins.
Goodness, the show has only been airing for a few hours, and the fan-made content has already been edited out, and it's already this popular?
She turned off the live chat with a head full of questions, and the suddenly clean screen showed a dimly lit corridor.
The camera pans from bottom to top, first sweeping over a pair of worn black leather shoes, then over long legs encased in navy blue trousers, past a waist cinched by an oversized Western-style jacket, and finally resting on the man's broad shoulders and back.
The tall man walked forward with his back to the screen.
The sound of a man's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
The sound grew clearer until he stood in front of a door and knocked with his fingers.
Indistinct laughter and chatter could be heard coming from inside the room through the door.
The door slowly opened inwards, and the bright white light inside finally illuminated the man's face.
The uniform didn't fit him well, and the rough hemp knots were clearly visible, but this did nothing to diminish his charisma. His handsome face with its strong features and deep-set eyes, along with his tall and upright figure, made him look extraordinary.
At this moment, the man stood outside the door, his posture slightly frozen, looking towards the screen, a white figure fixed in his deep black eyes.
All sounds faded away at that moment.
The silence was broken by a clear child's voice. A small figure ran into the house from behind the man, calling out joyfully, "Mommy!"
The camera followed the boy's footsteps, and a black-haired young woman wearing a white silk dress appeared on the screen.
The warm white light overhead illuminated the young woman in every detail. Her thick, slightly curled black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin was fair and translucent, and her peach blossom eyes sparkled with laughter.
Zhao Nanqiao nodded secretly. The video creator was obviously a veteran. The image under the special filter presented a hazy light, and Ye Zhenzhen on the screen was so beautiful that she didn't look real.
She gently embraced the little boy as she spoke, her white silk dress bunched up, enveloping her completely like a luminous pearl.
The man snapped out of his daze, stepped forward, bowed, and said humbly, "Madam, the carriage is ready."
The maid stepped forward to offer her the gloves, but the man stopped her.
The man carefully and tenderly slipped lace gloves onto her slender fingers. The young woman was clearly used to his service and did not notice the intense emotions in his lowered eyes.
Zhao Nanqiao became interested; the use of the peace sign in the camera was excellent. She sat up straight and looked down.
Perhaps to create a sense of the era, all modern elements along the way to Kande Castle were blurred.
Once inside the ancient and mysterious Kande Castle, one is greeted by exquisite and historically rich luxurious furnishings. In addition, more people dressed in fine clothes appear one after another, but all of them can only serve as background.
Many of the shots chosen in the video are quite unique. The angle from which Ye Zhenzhen is filmed is slightly downward, making it seem as if the audience is sharing Gu Tingshen's perspective through the screen, and also seems to glimpse a secret in the man's heart.
In the dimly lit castle, only Ye Zhenzhen was clearly visible.
In the heart of this seemingly humble and obedient servant, only his master is the sole light.
This perspective becomes even more apparent when the camera pans to the low, damp servants' quarters.
Wearing a white bathrobe and with her hair down, the girl, looking even younger and more innocent, innocently invited, "Come upstairs with me..."
Wow, this editing style is so immersive!
She turned on the bullet screen comment feature and, sure enough, saw that the comments were all similar reactions.
[Wow, is this what they mean by "pure yet alluring"?! Peach Blossom's unaware beauty is so damn tempting!! How can President Gu be so patient?!]
People who do great things are different. If it were me, I'd just carry Peach Blossom upstairs!
[What a gem of an uploader!!! The chemistry between the Peach Blossom Couple in this video is amazing!!!]
Zhao Nanqiao immediately sent the link to Ye Zhenzhen and then contacted the content creator via private message. Ye Zhenzhen was about to finish her work on the film crew she was currently working on, and since she had nothing else to do, she thought she might as well connect with a fellow content creator and maybe they could collaborate in the future.

Ye Zhenzhen lay on the bed watching the video. The more she watched, the more ambiguous and alluring the atmosphere became. She blushed with embarrassment from the comments and bullet screen messages.
She buried her face in the pillow to cool down, when suddenly someone scratched the back of her neck.
The sudden itch made her yell and jump out of bed.
Gu Tingshen was kneeling on the bed with one knee, just as he withdrew his hand.
"Why are you tickling me?" she asked gruffly, but her flushed cheeks and watery peach blossom eyes were hardly intimidating.
"Why are you keeping your head down?" Gu Tingshen asked, mimicking her.
"I'm hot, I need to cool down," Ye Zhenzhen stubbornly insisted, turning over and pulling the blanket over herself to lie down.
"You have a fever?" Gu Tingshen touched her forehead with the back of his hand, feeling its coolness, and then placed his tanned hand next to her face. "Here, let me cool you down."
"Why are your hands so cold?" Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously. The man's hands were always warm, a stark contrast to her icy hands and feet. "Could you have caught a cold?"
"Because I just showered." Gu Tingshen stepped onto the bed, pulled her into his arms, and pressed his forehead against hers, letting her feel it firsthand.
Ye Zhenzhen felt relieved, and after carefully observing his expression, she made sure that he probably hadn't seen the trending topic that made people's toes tremble. She decided to just let it go and let the netizens just make a fuss!
Whoever takes it seriously loses!
Besides, they are a legally married couple, so what "affair"?! Absolutely not!!!
As the evening air turned cooler, nestled in the man's arms, Ye Zhenzhen felt her hands and feet warm and cozy. Even the scent of cedarwood in her nostrils carried a dry warmth, making her feel soothed and comfortable.
She yawned, nuzzled against the man's chest, closed her eyes, and felt sleepiness wash over her.
"You're asleep already?"
"I'm so tired after traveling around for several days in a row," Ye mumbled, rubbing her eyes. "Have you finished your work at your company? Why don't you go back tomorrow?"
"Hmm, had enough fun?" Gu Tingshen brushed the stray hairs from her face, his voice low and gentle.
Ye Zhenzhen counted on her fingers the work she would have to do when she got back. "I can't just play all the time. There's a ton of stuff to do when I get back. Sister Chengcheng just texted me that Zhan Yan and Zhou Jin have both made it to the finals. I'll go and support them in person. Also, some of the movies I invested in have gone over budget, so I'll have to go check them out too."
Seeing that she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, Gu Tingshen kissed her forehead. "Then go to sleep. Book your tickets and we'll go back tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen snuggled against his neck, found a comfortable position, and quickly fell asleep.

After flying for nearly 10 hours, when the plane arrived in City A, Ye Zhenzhen rubbed her sore back and couldn't help but admire those frequent flyers.
Even the most comfortable first-class cabin can't make an extremely long journey any more comfortable.
Autumn comes quickly in City A. It was still late summer before I left the country, and although it was noon when I got off the plane, I could already feel the coolness in the wind.
Uncle Li, along with Zhao Lu and others, waited outside the VIP passage, took the suitcase from Gu Tingshen, and the group went directly back to Mantingfang.
After a quick wash, Ye Zhenzhen changed into her pajamas, rolled around in bed, and sighed contentedly.
After discussing tomorrow's schedule with Song Chengcheng, she stayed home and adjusted to the time difference.
But Gu Tingshen, the CEO, wasn't so relaxed. After eating some lunch prepared by the housekeeper, he went to the head office.

The following days passed quickly in a flurry of activity, and before we knew it, it was deep winter.
Ye Zhenzhen got off work early today. She and Gu Sinan had just returned home when Black Panther blocked them at the door.
"Hey, Black Panther, what's wrong, baby?" Ye Zhenzhen stroked the dog's head, and Black Panther looked up and rubbed against her, whimpering, and then brought the leash to her hand.
Taking the dog leash and looking at its tail wagging frantically, Ye Zhenzhen tentatively asked, "Want to go out and play?"
"Woof!" Black Panther barked, stood up, took two steps outside, and turned back to signal them to follow.
“Mom, Uncle Wang hasn’t been coming lately. Black Panther must be bored at home by himself.” Gu Sinan stroked its fur, showing great empathy.
This winter is exceptionally cold. After the first snowfall in City A, trainer Wang Meng had family matters to attend to, and Black Panther's basic training was almost complete.
Black Panther became the first family member to start winter vacation.
The three owners were either at work or at school, so there weren't many people in Mantingfang during the day.
Uncle Li is getting old and has to manage all the affairs of the villa, so he doesn't have time to play with Black Panther.
So, Black Panther was a little depressed after only two days off.
Every day, he would squat by the door with his leash in his mouth, his big, black, grape-like eyes gazing longingly outside.
“Let’s go out for a walk and pick up Dad while we’re at it.” Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then changed Gu Sinan into a thick outdoor down jacket and put gloves on him. “Nannan, go and bring Black Panther’s frisbee.”
"Alright!" Gu Sinan picked up the black leopard and ran towards the doghouse.
It was getting late, and only the three of them were in the large garden.
In the biting north wind, Ye Zhenzhen, wearing a down jacket that reached her ankles and her hat properly pulled up, walked along the garden path in the community, watching a person and a dog frolicking in the distance, marveling at their vitality.
"Are you cold?" The man's deep voice sounded in my ear.
"You're back?" Ye Zhenzhen turned around and saw Gu Tingshen wearing a crisp black cashmere coat. She frowned and said, "Why are you dressed so thinly? You should have changed into a thicker coat after you got out of the car. You're prioritizing style over warmth."
"Give me your hand." Gu Tingshen smiled and reached out his hand, taking her fingers that she had just pulled out of her thick gloves.
"Why is it so hot?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at him in surprise, then muttered indignantly, "I'm dressed like this, wearing such thick gloves, and I'm still not as hot as your hands. It's outrageous..."
"Who hasn't been exercising properly lately? Here, let me warm you up."
Gu Tingshen smiled and pulled her into his arms, holding her hand; his tan palm was dry and warm.
"Hmph, I haven't exercised for a week, but I was training for two months straight before that." Ye Zhenzhen leaned against his chest and continued to mutter, "So it's completely unreasonable for women to have periods; it should be men like you with your boundless energy..."
She has been afraid of the cold since she was a child. Even though the air conditioning is on indoors, she still loves to stay in bed and snuggle in her warm blankets.
As my period approaches, I've become increasingly reluctant to move around, and I've skipped my morning exercise for the past week.
Gu Tingshen didn't take it to heart and pinched her nose. "It's a pity I can't replace you. I can only make sure you eat well and exercise properly."
The two hugged quietly, watching Gu Sinan and Black Panther play frisbee in the distance.
"I'll bring Black Panther to the company tomorrow," Ye Zhenzhen said after thinking for a while. "It gets bored at home by itself. If it comes with me to the company, it can get some exercise."
"It's up to you to decide."
Gu Tingshen had no objections. Black Panther had a good temperament. It had been trained since childhood, was strong, alert, and intelligent, and was very protective of its family members. With it by her side, Ye Zhenzhen would have an extra bodyguard with extraordinary combat power.
Fengming Building
Ye Zhenzhen led Black Panther out of the car, followed by Liu Haibo and Zhang Ning carrying Black Panther's dog food and personal belongings.
"You two go up first, and leave Black Panther's things in my office." Ye Zhenzhen said to the two of them, holding the leash, as she stood in front of the elevator. "I'll show Black Panther around."
"Okay, Mr. Ye." Zhang Ning nodded in agreement, and after the elevator doors opened, he pressed the buttons for the 1st and 8th floors.
Ye Zhenzhen led the black leopard down the elevator on the first floor. Zhang Ning handed the things in his hand to Liu Haibo and followed her down the elevator.
The employees of Fengming are all familiar with Black Panther. Everyone knows that the boss adopted a dog on a variety show, and it's also an internet celebrity.
Black Panther has his own super topic on Weibo, and his number of fans is more than some third-tier celebrities.
Yesterday, Assistant Song told everyone in advance that the boss would be bringing Black Panther to work today, and asked everyone not to be surprised if they saw him. Those who are afraid of dogs can avoid the area in advance.
Previously, everyone only knew that it had some disabilities. Today, they suddenly saw a German Shepherd with a shoulder height of nearly 70 centimeters and glossy black fur, walking proudly beside the owner. Its black eyes were alertly scanning the surroundings. Its majestic appearance made it impossible to tell the abnormality of its front legs unless you looked closely.
After Ye Zhenzhen took Black Panther for a walk around the company building, fans who were captivated by Black Panther's charm even created a group to share their interactions with Black Panther or the cute pictures they took.
[Help! Black Panther is so handsome!! So handsome and cute!! It just went out to get some documents for Boss Ye. I called it, and it tilted its head, glanced at me, nodded, and then left. It's so adorable!!!]
Black Panther tilting his head.jpg
[This escort is simply amazing! President Ye doesn't even need to give instructions; it can move and stop as it pleases. That leash is completely unnecessary!!!]
My desire to own a dog has reached its peak!! German Shepherds are so handsome!!!
Don't let the black panther image raise your expectations too high. Every dog has its own personality. My dog is also a German Shepherd, a big black back, trained from a young age, and now at two years old, he still suddenly lunges forward when we go out. I never even dreamed of walking alongside him like that...
[I really want to pet it, but unfortunately, Black Panther only lets President Ye pet it. Its fur looks so cute and cuddly!!]
[I just went in to report on my work, and Black Panther was lying at General Manager Ye's feet, peeking at me with his eyelids slightly open. It was incredibly intimidating.]
[Black Panther has such a domineering CEO vibe! Boss Panther is so cool, handsome, and swaggering!!!]
Cool and handsome picture of Leopard.jpg
[By the way, how about we make a short film for Boss Leopard? It's part of our company culture, after all!]
[The person upstairs is really scheming! They probably just want to save it for themselves. Anyway, good idea! Planning department, come up with a plan quickly!!!]
......
Ye Zhenzhen was completely unaware that Black Panther had been promoted to Boss Panther and was currently engrossed in her busy work.
After a busy day, Ye Zhenzhen led Black Panther down the elevator to the underground parking garage, ready to get in her car and go home.
The black panther that had been quietly following beside him suddenly stopped, its ears perked up, then it lowered its body and let out a low growl at the pillar next to the elevator.
