Completed【The main text deviates significantly from pirated content, please support legitimate reading, Thanks?(?ω?)?】 Xie Tang's life was never a fairy tale. She was a victorious lawyer in court and a daughter stubbornly holding on at her mother's sickbed.
Until the Qin family's marriage contract arrived: "Marry Chu Song, and ten million is yours." The silent boy she once gave candy to was now Chu San Shao, the presumptive heir to the Chu Group.
His eyes were dim: "You have no choice." She sneered: "Add another condition—I want the Qin family's old mansion." A fake marriage? It was just a matter of mutual needs.
But no one told her—Chu Song remembered her six-year-old smile, her tears at the airport, and even more...
In this marriage, he had long calculated her heart. She thought it was just a transaction, but he gave his true heart. She thought it was true love, but he had already meticulously planned every step.
【Trigger Warnings】 1. Marriage first, then love / mutual redemption / rich family story, involving some business warfare. 2. Both protagonists are pure, but this novel is not a lighthearted, refreshing read.
CompletedLighting lamps for Buddha is one of the important offerings in Buddhism. As the lamps are lit, darkness dissipates, bringing blessings to all sentient beings. To guard the lamp is to guard a vow.
This is Tang Suzi's tenth year guarding the lamp at Tanshan Temple, and also the tenth year since her death. She doesn't know why she's here, only remembering that her master once said she lingered at the Bridge of Forgetfulness, pleading to cultivate blessings and change the fate of one person, unwilling to enter reincarnation. Later, her master allowed her to come here to guard the lamp and cultivate blessings.
For ten years, every year during minor snow, she would always see a man come to Tanshan Temple to light a lamp for a woman named "Zhou Tiao." He was very handsome, though his brows and eyes were always clouded with an inescapable sorrow.
Due to an accident, the divine beast Blood Qilin escaped from the temple, and Tang Suzi was ordered to return to the human world to retrieve it. In the human world, she met Zhou Jin, the new prefect who was once a Tanhua scholar. But why does he call her "A-jie" (Elder Sister)?
And the man who came to light the lamps, it turns out he is Fang Buyu, the master of the Skyhawk Pavilion. What's puzzling is why his reaction is so strange every time he sees her; he calls her... "Tiao Tiao"?
Even stranger is the divine beast Blood Qilin. It is said to have descended to save a benefactor. During a tribulation in a famine year, it bit her, yet she still left it half a bun to appease its hunger. But Tang Suzi later discovered: why does she also have a beast tooth scar on her ankle?
What exactly is going on with all of this? Ten years ago, the deceased white moonlight has returned. Even if the world withers, true love remains eternal.
CompletedSu Ran is a little rose raised by the human military. He remembers being a small green seedling when Colonel Si Chengyan picked him up and raised him. Every day, Su Ran would obediently lie on the windowsill, gazing outside, waiting for the Colonel to come home. Then, he would confidently pounce on him, burrow into his arms with soft grunts, and listen to him tell stories of the human world.
One day, while on a mission, Su Ran and his Colonel got separated. Following his memories, he traveled a long way, through swamps and abysses, wilderness and cliffs, just to find the human officer who watered him daily and wished for him to grow up quickly.
Finally, in a vine-covered cave, he saw those familiar, handsome brows and eyes. He stumbled over, innocently reaching out to touch the wounds on the other's body, torn by monsters, just as the Colonel had comforted him when he was scared by thunder before. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," he whispered. "Shall we go home?"
Si Chengyan rescued a little rose with special abilities from the abyss. In this apocalyptic era, plagued by the infection of the inanimate, this little rose was his everything. When the human base fell and orders were issued to eradicate all mutated creatures, he secretly settled Su Ran in the wilderness to protect him.
As the representative of humanity's strongest fighting force, even with the arrival of the apocalypse and the awakening of special abilities, he had never been afraid. Until that beautiful young man appeared before him, softly comforting him, and a giant creature that wanted to devour this rose appeared behind him. Only then did Si Chengyan realize that fear could instantly overwhelm all reason.
Later, one day, they leaned against each other on the tower of the human base—the vast wilderness and long winds behind them, the starry sea before them, just like countless other nights. After finishing his daily watering, wet Su Ran threw himself into the Colonel's arms, curling his leaves against the other's chest, whining and pestering him for a bedtime story. Si Chengyan's breathing hitched for a moment. He grabbed the restless little leaf poking his waist. "...Don't move around so much."
Su Ran sweetly pleaded, "I just want to hug you." Si Chengyan asked, "Are you sure you want to continue?" "Mhm!" Su Ran looked at the rumored sternest and strongest Colonel, unconsciously seductive, and wrapped his arms around his neck, giving him a loud kiss. "I like Colonel Si the most!"
Doting, wife-obsessed, strongest human officer Gong x Soft, cute, gentle, seductive little rose Shou (Si Chengyan x Su Ran). 1. Happy ending for both Gong and Shou, 1v1. 2. A gentle mutual redemption story, post-apocalyptic setting. 3. Please do not project real-world expectations. 4. Their relationship is sweet from beginning to end, with no angst, no guessing games, and no hidden identities; it only resolves their past experiences. 5. Can be read as a power-system nurturing-pet story.

Love is the only answer.
It makes the puppet grow a heartbeat, lets the withered butterfly break the cocoon and become a butterfly.
Famous scene one:
Meng Yanchen, "No one wants to be treated as a marionette."
Fan Shengmei, "But without those strings, it's just a pile of waste wood."
"With guidance, it can come alive. Maybe it doesn't play the story it wants, but at least it grows flesh and blood, and slowly develops a soul."
"This isn't manipulation, it's guidance."

The wildest top celebrity shou in the entertainment industry x Tongue-lashing agricultural science Ph.D. gong.
A true record of a top celebrity going to the countryside to farm, with two male leads joining forces to develop modern agriculture.
Jiang Lin, once a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, fell into obscurity due to a scandal at a banquet. To protect someone, he offended capital, leading to two years of being 'frozen'. His reappearance was shockingly in a 'fend-for-yourself' farming reality show, thrown there by his company.
The production team placed the guests into different farm households to film the show, leading to widespread mockery in the industry: "D-list stars farming, even a show feels fake!"
The director team stated: "The farming is real. If you can't grow anything, the show will flop! And you won't be able to make a comeback either!"
Jiang Lin sneered, ready to give up, but the farmer handed him a hoe instead! The aunties watching from the side munched on melon seeds and whispered: "Old Pei's son is even crazier. He got his Ph.D. in Beijing and came back to farm. Old Pei chased him with a broom, hitting him!"
Jiang Lin turned around, only to encounter Pei Xu hiding behind a haystack. Under his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze was cold, making Jiang Lin, accustomed to the beauties of the entertainment industry, catch his breath.
From the center stage to the fields, top male idol Jiang Lin was forced to pick up a hoe and be driven by farmers to do farm work.
Pei Xu wasn't willing to miss this excellent promotional opportunity and deliberately approached Jiang Lin. The two, similar in age, gradually became familiar through 'elementary school' style bickering. Pei Xu teased him: "Young Master Jiang, you're holding the hoe upside down. What are you chiseling? Are you trying to 'chisel a hole in the wall to steal light'?" Yet, when work ended in the evening, he tossed a thermos into Jiang Lin's arms...
