In the ‘90s era, Adrian Cowell was just a rich young man living it up in Los Angeles who had spent years in indulgence and often caused trouble. Unable to allow his behavior to continue, his parents changed their will before their passing and he was no longer able to live as extravagantly as he did before. However, Adrian's fate took a turn one night while trying to fix his bedside lamp which led to Zhang Haoxuan, a man from the future who had time-traveled after being intoxicated, to possess his body.
Assuming his new identity as ‘Adrian’, he utilizes his absurd memory for films in his former life as Zhang Haoxuan, as well as Adrian’s wealth and connections, to replicate films that have been produced in the future — determined to dominate the Hollywood scene.
Watch Adrian as he rises to be the king of Hollywood, a figure who will be envied by many!


USBa Charger Tang Jian: As for the owner of this house, he's snoring a lot right now, and I'm sure the sound we make when we fall to the ground will be overshadowed by his snoring.

USBa Charger Grace: So how do we get down there?

USBa Charger Beverly: It's about 50 centimeters from the ground, but it's only five centimeters from the top of the bedside table, so we can jump to the top first.

USBa Charger Simon: And on the cabinet, there are two data lines, one USB a data line, one USB c data line, we can tie these two data lines together, fix one end to the lamp, then measure the distance, and after we jump, there's still five centimeters between us and the ground, so we're going to bungee jumping next.

Tang Jian, Grace, Beverly, Simon, these four USB a-chargers are doing it in total disregard of the feelings of USB c-data line Turner and USB a-data line Cheng Ming, which has led to opposition from these two data lines.

USBc Data Line Turner: You're acting so recklessly.

USBa Data Line Cheng Ming: There is no doubt that we are two tough data wires.

USBc Data Line Turner: So there's no question that in the process of being used as a bungee jumping rope by you, it doesn't matter to us.

USBa Data Line Cheng Ming: But I don't like it!

USBc Data Line Turner: But I will only oppose you verbally.

USBa Data Line Cheng Ming: Because we know that the best punishment for you is to let you do this.

USBc Data Line Turner: We had anticipated what the outcome would be.

USBa Data Line Cheng Ming: The result is that you're going to be in the trash can, and you're going to be in the trash can very quickly, and most likely, even tonight, you're going to be in the trash can.

Tang Jian, Grace, Beverly, Simon, these four USB a chargers, through the way of bungee jumping, in the absence of a lot of noise, very smoothly came to the ground, in fact, they don't need so much trouble, can jump directly to the ground, but that will make a lot of noise. Even so, their plans were discovered because the lamp on the bedside table was on.

Desk light Owen: I seldom turn on the lights, except when I'm reluctant, but today, I'm breaking this routine, you know why? Because of you four restless guys.

Desk light Owen: What do you want? Want to bungee jump, so tie a data line to me? Didn't you ever think that if I were to be dragged off the bedside table and fall to the ground, I would be shattered, that you would want to involve the innocent in order to satisfy a little desire within you, and that I could say that you four are uneasy and kind-hearted creatures?

Desk light Owen: Get back in the drawer, right now! And I will be tied to the USB C data line to the solution! I am thinking of you, because if I keep the lights on, it means that Yola, the owner of the house, will come to me as soon as he wakes up, and he will see you escaping from the drawer.

Desk light Owen: Do you think you can leave this bedroom before he wakes up? Even if you could get out of this bedroom, you must know that there are four very frightening creatures in the living room, three, to be exact, because the big one of them is quite decent, but even one of them can play you around. So, hurry back to this drawer under me, NOW!  

The threat of Owen's lamp worked, and Tang Jian, Grace, Beverly and Simon did not go any further toward the bedroom door. They turned back the way they had come, and were very careful, so Owen turned off the lamp. However, when it heard the noise again and wanted to turn on the light again, it could not turn on the light. The four USB a chargers moved their hands and feet on the plug-in board connected to it, pressed the power switch on it, and turned off the power. As a result, Tang Jian, Grace, Beverly, and Simon, the four USB a chargers, have been condemned by their affected Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan for their rash behavior.

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: Don't worry, I won't complain about you, Because I think you did the right thing, Even at night, when you turn off the electrical appliances, you should turn off the power that connects them at the same time, because I can't guarantee that everything will be all right. I have a deep understanding of the current. I know that the current with a voltage of more than 110 volts is terrible, so I'll give you a wake-up call and get out of this bedroom and this house.

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: It's best to get to the main road, and when you get to the main road, you'll have the courage to get to the middle of the main road, so that when a few tons, even a dozen tons, dozens of tons of vehicles pass by, you'll be crushed and crushed in that instant.

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: You know why I said that? This is because, you have to admit, you are the waste, and the best place to go is the waste disposal station.

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: But when you're sent to the waste disposal station, you're also sent to the pulverizer and crushed, so I remind you, right now, to the main road. Go, go now!

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: You can tell from my words how much I don't like you!

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: I'd love to see you out of this house myself, if I could, because I don't want to work with you anymore, and there have been a lot of plug-in board fires because of working with you old chargers, and then it's bad luck.

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: Let's face it, I don't want to be the next bad guy!

Plug-in board Fang Xiuyuan: So any charger or plug I want to work with is new!

When Owen couldn't reproduce the mess, Tang Jian, Grace, Beverly, Simon, the four USB chargers, left the bedroom without a hitch, because the bedroom door was open all the time, but when they arrived in the living room, Liu Peng, the smart TV set that was still playing TV, suddenly blossomed. What was the matter? Just then, Mukang, the router next to Liu Peng, laughed.

Router Mukang: Hehe! Look what scared you!

Smart TV series Liu Peng: You scared the hell out of me, too!

Router Mukang: Is it that mysterious? This isn't the first time I've lost my network!

Smart TV series Liu Peng: But this is the first time you've deliberately disconnected!

Router Mukang: How do you know this is the first time I've deliberately disconnected!

Smart TV series Liu Peng: Is it because of you that I have been unable to connect to the Internet many times before? Shall I take the initiative to disconnect from the network and let Yola know that the router next to me should be laid off? Shall I?

Router Mukang: Who's afraid of who?

Smart TV series Liu Peng: Yes! Who's afraid of who!

She had heard a joke from Lei Xiaoxiao that a woman accidentally entered the men's bathhouse when she went to the bathhouse. What should she do when there were men all over her Then, a person told her that it was useless to cover her face, so it was better to cover her face.
But now, she wanted to ask the person who wrote the joke, where should she cover her face when such a thing happened in front of a man who was already very familiar with her face?
Jin Di's gaze was so hot that she was ashamed. She could not find a towel, so she randomly pulled out a bed sheet from the wardrobe and hurriedly wrapped it around her. Her face was as red as an apple, and she did not even dare to raise her head.
Seeing the colorful bed sheet surrounding the beautiful scene, Jin Di came back to his senses. His gaze fell on her bright red face, and his expression was as usual.
"It's getting late. Rest early. "
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Leaving her standing in the same place, he only exclaimed after a long time and reached out to cover his face.
Sigh, this was so embarrassing!
Zuo Aiai dawdled in the guest room for a long time before she had the courage to go back to the bedroom. When she opened the door, she first pushed open a crack and peeked inside. She saw that Jin di was wearing pajamas and leaning against the headboard of the bed. He was holding a book in his hand and reading it calmly.
It was as if what had just happened had no effect on him at all.
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She pushed open the door and walked in. She lifted the blanket and got on the bed. She glanced at him.
However, Jin di did not move like a mountain. He flipped through a page of the book casually and did not say a word.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the room. She could not hold it in any longer and could not help but ask.
"Um... did, did something happen to you today? You don't seem to be very happy? "
Jin Di's eyes flickered as he suddenly closed the book in his hand and asked her, "why do you think so? "
"There's no reason... it's just, feeling... "
He placed the book on the bedside table and suddenly turned off the bedside lamp. Her vision suddenly turned dark. Her eyes were still unable to adapt to the light for a moment. She could only hear the sound of a man lying down on the mattress beside her.
She felt a little sad and was wondering if she had said too much just now... ... A pair of hands reached out from the side, passed through her neck, and the other hand hugged her waist. That posture was as if she was lying in his arms, and her arms were under her head ...
His chest was boiling hot, like a stove. In such a late autumn weather, it was so comfortable that she could not bear to move... ...
During this period of time, she was sick and he was busy. The two of them had not done well in the hospital. She thought that he might have wanted it, so she froze for a while, thinking that he would do something more... ... Who knew that in the end, Jin Di only patted her back a few times and said in a hoarse voice, "go to sleep. "
Her heart suddenly felt sweet, and the corners of her mouth could not help but smile. She made a small sound of acknowledgment and then snuggled into his arms again.
Yes, perhaps all the women in China liked his face and the money and wealth behind the Jin family.
But who knew that what she coveted the most... ... was only this hug in her dreams at midnight, and his pair of hands that would always rescue her when she was in trouble ...
She wants him all to herself, to have him, to be his woman.
I don't know... ... If it's true, if it's possible ? ?


On the plane, a roar came from the broadcast. "Zuo Aiai, you still dare to run away for me? "
She raised her voice. "The world is very big, I want to go out and take a look. "
"You can go out, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, " the man said shamelessly.
"Why? "
Zuo Aiai blushed. "Get lost"
"Your photo has been posted on the world's best-selling magazine! " The man said domineeringly. "according to your husband's popularity, there are countless women who want to kill you. For Your Safety, be good! Come home with me! "

Gu Nianshen was already sitting on the bed in his gray pajamas. He was wearing his reading glasses as he stared at the phone in his hands.
Lin Yiqian walked noiselessly to the bed. As she arrived at the bed, she pulled the duvet aside and sat on the bed.
After turning the bed lamp off, she laid herself down on the bed.
Almost instantly, Gu Nianshen dimmed the bed lamp on his side of the bed, causing the room to darken.
Without any exchange of words between the two, they each stared at their phones.
Bored, Lin Yiqian started scrolling through her social media feed on Weibo.
Suddenly, she came across a post from Gu Nianshen. "Can't sleep."
He had posted the status update one minute ago.
As Lin Yiqian turned her head around to look at the man behind her, she could see him moving further down in the bed.
Was she keeping him up?
After thinking for a moment, her gaze returned to the screen of her phone. Finally, she decided to like his post.
Then, she locked her phone and placed it on the bedside table.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen's post received new comments.
"Poor boy." Qin Feng wrote.
"Come over to my place. There are pretty models with huge breasts here." Li Nanmu added.
"Trash. You think of nothing but women." Qi Wuyue replied to Li Nanmu's comment.
"Do you expect me to seek out men instead? I am a straight man." Li Nanmu replied.
"Heterosexual relationships are only meant for reproduction. Homosexual relationships are the only true form of love. You and Wuyue are a perfect match." Qin Feng replied to Li Nanmu's message.
"Get lost!" Qi Wuyue replied.
"Go to hell. I would rather have sex with a pig than him." Li Nanmu replied.
Gu Nianshen frowned disgustedly at the responses on his post from Li Nanmu and the rest.
Just as he was about to delete his post, he suddenly saw that 'Yuan Qian' had liked his post.
As he moved his finger away from the 'Delete' button, he took a screenshot and sent it to the 'Big Boss Group'.
"What does this mean?" Li Nanmu asked.
"Spot the highlight." Gu Nianshen replied.
"Isn't this the record of our conversation?" Li Nanmu asked again.
"There's a 'like' on the post. Who is Yuan Qian?" Qin Feng wrote.
"Perhaps it's Lin Yiqian." Qi Wuyue responded.
"Are you showing off to us in the middle of the night?" Qin Feng wrote.
"That's ridiculous. A 'like' on your post means nothing. I dare you to send us a video of you two making out. If you do, I'll accept defeat." Qi Wuyue wrote.
"He must have really fallen in love." Qin Feng added.
"+1." Qi Wuyue chipped in.
Gu Nianshen rolled his eyes at their messages before sending an emoticon to the group. "Goodnight."
The emoticon immediately caused an uproar in the group.
"Did you notice something?" Qin Feng asked.
"Gu Nianshen has downloaded cute emoticons." Qi Wuyue replied.
"The 'goodnight' emoticon shows two people sleeping on the same bed." Li Nanmu added.
Gu Nianshen smiled as he observed how his group of friends was analyzing his message. He was very pleased with himself.
Without writing anything else, he looked at his phone silently.
'Was this fellow still not able to sleep?' Lin Yiqian thought to herself.
She quietly turned to face Gu Nianshen.
Lin Yiqian wondered why he was smiling at his phone.
As her curiosity took over, she began to wonder what sort of interests he had on the internet
Was he like the other guys who liked to look at pictures or live broadcasts of beautiful women?
Her curiosity was getting the better of her.
As Lin Yiqian closed her eyes, she twisted and turned around in the bed.
"What are you doing?" Gu Nianshen looked down at the woman next to him who could not seem to lie still.
'Eh…'
Lin Yiqian was stunned. What was she doing?
She could not possibly tell him that she wanted to look at his phone. After some thoughts, she finally replied, annoyed, "I can't sleep if you keep the lights on."


Gu Nianshen had thought all along that he was raped by an older lady five years ago when he got really drunk at a nightclub. When he met a child who resembled him and Lin Yiqian, he carried the child in his arms. “Where is your Mommy?” He asked. Calmly, the child pointed a finger at the screen of his phone. “There. She’s performing at a concert.” Coincidentally, the screen was displaying how a wealthy fan gifted the female singer on stage with 999 roses. Gu Nianshen’s facial expression turned spiteful as he gave his secretary an order. “Give Lin Yiqian a call. Tell her that her son has been kidnapped. She will have to turn herself in to get him in return.”
“Terrible mister…” Before the child could finish uttering his sentence, his biological father had placed a hand over his mouth. “You are being kidnapped!” Gu Nianshen fumed.

Hearing his remarks regarding the matter of her potent abduction, Stella couldn't help herself from letting out a chuckle. "You have lost it. You have completely lost your mind." She didn't want to lash out on him to enrage him in any way, but given the circumstances, she couldn't stop herself from doing so. How sick a person had to be to turn a blind eye to all the deaths he had caused? 
"I know you are angry at me at the time, but everything will be fine for us soon, love. I know just the way to make all of this right, and you will definitely be more than happy after that." After saying his part, he got off from the ground and made his way towards the built-in closet in the room and took something out from the small locker in there before hiding it away from her line of sight. After shutting the two brown partitions close, he made his way back to Stella who was still sitting in the chair.
Reaching to his previous spot before her, he came to a stop and got down on his right knee once again. He extended his fisted right palm towards her while looking up at her with a tender gaze. Slowly, he loosened up his hold and uncurled his fingers one by one. The corners of his lips curled upwards as he pushed his opened palm closer to her. 
A small, red velvet box which could easily fit his fisted palm, stared back at Stella. Her hazel orbs jumped from the box to the man before they jumped back to the box. Just from the huge grin tugging at the corners of his lips, Stella could tell where the conversation was heading to. His earlier words about proposing to her at the banquet rang an alarming siren in her mind with the blaring red letters of warning flashing before her eyes.
"This is why I got a little late in coming to you. I had to make a quick stop at a jewellery store on my way here. Though I already had a ring prepared for you, I knew it wouldn't go well with your taste. Since you are a fan of big rocks, I got you this." Clearing his throat, he opened the lid of the small box. 
A frown marred her forehead, as she shifted her eyes from the box to the back of her left hand and then back to the opened box where an oval shape diamond was resting in the centre. The more she stared at the glimmering rock, the more she started to worry about her safety. 
The ring which was nestled neatly in the box seemed to be a replica of the ring which Adam had gifted to her when he disappeared. The only difference she could was the size of the diamond as it clearly was bigger in size. Her thoughts were a jumble as she didn't know what to make of his actions. 
"I knew you would like this ring much more than the one you have currently on your ring finger. Talking about it, let's get rid of that first." He spoke up and extended his free hand towards her left one.
Seeing through his words Stella got up from the chair swiftly, pushing it back with her movements. "Are you crazy? Oh, wait! You are." She gritted through her teeth as his actions alone were to rile her anger up. "Keep your hands off me." She spat out as she could no longer hold back. 
"Alright!" Taylor raised both of his hands up in the air in submission. Getting up from the floor, he took a couple of steps back just to put some distance in between her and himself. 
"I don't mean you any harm, Stella. But you aren't thinking about wearing both of these rings at the same time. That option is off the table. I will get you another one, but you need to get rid of that one, sweetheart." He continued in a tender voice as he showed her the box again. 
"I haven't even said yes to you. Aren't you thinking too far into the future?" Stella frowned. "And no matter what, I am not saying yes to a crazy person." 
"I know it must be hard for you to get used to your new life, but everything will be fine when we leave this place. It will be just the two of us in our new home, far away from this place." He gave her a smile before pulling his phone out and dialed a number. 
"How are things at the airport?" He spoke into the phone's speaker, but didn't divert his eyes away from her figure. "Keep everything ready. We will be there soon." He waited for a couple of seconds and nodded his head slightly at the other person's response before disconnecting the call. 
Shifting his attention back to her, he spoke up. "If you need time to develop feelings for me and say yes to me, then you can take as much time as you need, my love, but just not here. We need to leave before that so-called brother of yours starts looking for you." He took a step closer to her. 
"I am not going anywhere with you." Stella stood her ground and refused to listen to the man because she knew if she let him take her out of this city, then in no way Adam would be able to locate her. For all she knew, he might even take her to a private island which couldn't be tracked back to him. 
"I am sorry, but you don't get to have a say in that matter." He gave her an apologetic look as he took another step towards her. 
Seeing him getting closer to herself, Stella instinctively took a couple of steps back until the back of her legs made a contact with the bedside table. "You do realize that you cannot marry a woman who's married to someone else already." She spoke up as she tried to shift his attention to another topic. She couldn't let him have things his way.
"What marriage are you talking about?" Her words irked the man, and his tender expressions were replaced by an annoyed one. "He's already dead. You are nothing but a widow, my love. A widow who still uses his family name and enjoys his wealth. You can take my family name and enjoy my wealth too." His lips curled up in a sinister smile. 
"I don't care about your wealth or your family name. I don't want to deal with either of them. As for him, I definitely care about both, his wealth and family name. And I am not willing to give up on either of them." She gave him a lop-sided grin and replied to him without giving away too much information. It was better for her if the man continued to think that Adam was dead. 
She moved her hands behind her and tried to reach the lamp which was resting on the bedside table. "My name is Stella Levinson. And that's the name which will be written on gravestone." She added as she grabbed the shaft of the lamp.

-----------------------

From the inside pocket of his coat, he fished out a ring. Holding it firmly in between his fingers, he extended it towards her. 


"I know I have been doing a few things wrongly and I want to rectify those now." He spoke up, looking into her hazel eyes which somehow had brightened up his life. 


"I won't be repeating what I had told you already. I just want to say that I want to be a part of your everyday life just like I want you to be a part of mine. I want to make you smile more often. I like seeing that smile on your face, it brightens up my day." He continued.


"I can't promise you that it will always be a happy ride or a walk in the park, but I promise to give you my all." He looked at the girl who was looking at him with her teary eyes.


"So, Stella Martin. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" He gave her a bright smile.

"Cough cough cough…" Ning Xi felt completely defeated by Lu Tingxiao and hurriedly said, "I’m just kidding… it was a joke…"
It seemed as if Lu Tingxiao was addicted to giving away keys, as he gave her yet another one. "It’s not easy to catch cabs in this area, and going to work might be inconvenient for you, so you can drive this car."
Ning Xi: "…"
Why…
She was only going to live here for a short time, why did she feel like a mistress?
No, that’s not right, if she was a mistress, she would be hidden away outside, not given the keys to the main residence, and even responsibility of a child…
Wow, this felt like being a newlywed…
Suddenly, she thought of the first time she’d met Lu Tingxiao, and how he had abruptly proposed to her…
She thought that she understood everything about men, but the one standing before her was like a computer program with a top-notch firewall that she just couldn’t hack.
She didn’t know whether agreeing to his request in a moment of sympathy and weakness was going to be a disaster or good fortune…
Little Treasure’s frame of mind that night was rather unstable, so as a precaution, Ning Xi slept beside him on the same bed.
In the middle of the night.
The door of the bedroom was pushed open gently and silently.
Footsteps drew closer, and a man knelt by the side of the bed.
In the soft, yellow light from the bedside lamp, the woman on the bed looked like she had been patting Little Treasure before drifting into sleep, her breathing shallow and expression warm. Her soft lips were like summer cherry blossoms, and slightly parted as if in unspoken invitation…
After a while, a dark shadow encroached on the faint light as the figure of a man crept closer…
He was only a breath away — just a bit more, and their lips would touch. But abruptly he stopped himself, before leaving a cool kiss on the woman’s forehead.
Ning Xi, we have long days ahead of us.
…
The next morning.
Ning Xi had thought at first that she wouldn’t be able to sleep on an unfamiliar bed, but she had slept so well through the night without any dreams.
When she woke, she realized that Little Treasure was already awake.
The little guy was reading a book at her side in a serious manner, not making a single sound.
He was clearly such a good child, she really couldn’t imagine what the little bun was like when he threw a  tantrum…
"Darling, good morning." Ning Xi sat up and greeted him warmly.
Little Treasure looked up happily from his book. Though he didn’t say anything and his expression seemed unchanged, Ning Xi could tell from his eyes how pleased he was.
Amused, Ning Xi stretched out a hand to flick an unruly lock of hair away. "Today, Auntie doesn’t need to work, so I can keep you company!"
At her words, the little guy was so visibly happier, he even smiled a little.
Ning Xi was practically bleeding out from all the cuteness. She couldn’t help but squeeze his little cheeks. "Darling, smile more. You are too cute when you smile!"
After showering, she went downstairs where breakfast had already been prepared.
Ning Xi didn’t see Lu Tingxiao, and none of the servants mentioned anything about waiting for him to eat, so she assumed he had already gone to work.
After breakfast, Ning Xi was worried that she didn’t really know how to take care of a child; what would she do if she didn’t care for him properly…
In the end, her worries were for nothing.
The whole morning, she was on the sofa looking at her script, while Little Treasure sat at a table next to her reading books or drawing. They didn’t bother each other, but shared a harmonious air.
The servants only appeared once the whole time to bring some dim sum and fruit. Their movements were very quiet and light, as if afraid to disturb him.
It appeared Little Treasure especially liked peace and quiet.



After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey.
However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. 
One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.

The rays from the bedside lamp scattered across the bed and barely landed on him. However, Ji Nuan was able to see the man's face clearly. 
She played with his hand, stroking her fingers back and forth across his palm: "This is the first time I've heard you mention your mother. What sort of person is she? She's able to share a lifetime with Chairman Mo while receiving Grandfather Mo's fondness; she must be a woman with great emotional intelligence, right?" 
Mo Jingshen raised his brows and withheld a smile: "Aren't you the one Grandfather likes the most?" 
"Every time I hear Grandfather bring up your mother, he sounds both fond and admiring. I've never interacted with her. You mentioned that she's someone who enjoys studying health and wellness, so I felt curious." Ji Nuan pressed her fingers against his, nudging their palms together before interlocking fingers with him. She then raised her eyes to look at him.
The man's expression was composed. He answered without hesitation: "She is indeed a good mother. However, I left America for too long and only stayed by her side for a short period. After growing up, we haven't had many opportunities to interact."
"Then… will she like me?"
"She will." Mo Jingshen caressed her hair. "My mother's character is optimistic. If she isn't, she would never have endured my father for so many years."
While speaking, Mo Jingshen tugged the blankets over them: "She'll like you because I care for you. There's no need to worry about this. Sleep now."
Ji Nuan lifted her chin, appearing proud as she asked: "Do you care for me a lot?"
"En, I do."
The smile on Ji Nuan's lips deepened as she snuggled closer to him. Under the bedside lamp, her gaze was bright: "Then, what do you like most about me?"
Mo Jingshen's hand paused on her hair. He watched her bright, smooth skin and gently caressed it, pulling a few strands of her hair with him. 
"Coming up with ways for me to praise you, do you not feel embarrassed just because it's in the middle of the night?" Mo Jingshen lost his smile as he kissed on her lips. "That day, after seeing me praise you casually in front of your roommates, you tasted the sweetness, yet you're still not satisfied?" 
Ji Nuan immediately snuggled closer into his embrace: "I've never heard you praising me before. Won't you let me hear you now?"
He watched her nudging closer to him, as though trying to appear more lovable, and leaned down to kiss her. "Perhaps I'm fated to fall in your hands; my heart softens the moment I see you acting adorable." 
Oh, then it seems like she had to do it more in the future. If absence hadn't made the heart grow fonder, and if they hadn't been fighting until recently, Ji Nuan would never have acted coquettishly in this manner. 
He caressed her face, lowly chuckling: "Perhaps it's because the moment I see you, I want to kiss you. No matter when or where." 
Ji Nuan glared at him: "Haven't you kissed enough?"
"En, I've kissed a lot. But it isn't enough."
As he spoke, the man kissed her again. 
Ji Nuan returned the kiss, and as her breath grew short, she frantically called for a stop. "I have a graded examination tomorrow. This sort of exams cannot be easily canceled. I need to be well-rested. Let me sleep early!" 
"All right."
Ji Nuan remained in his embrace even after falling asleep, peaceful and warm. 
Mo Jingshen watched the little woman in his embrace. He ran his fingers through her hair before pausing by her ear to gently caress her.
What did he like about her?
Years ago, Qin Siting had said that, after seeing Shi Niange for the first time, he knew he would be entangled with her until he was on his deathbed.
For Mo Jingshen, toward Ji Nuan, it wasn't as simple as 'till death do us part.'
That night, many years ago, this young lady had been in her teens when she had hauled him back to shore in Los Angeles. From the moment she performed the unfamiliar maneuver of CPR on him, he was doomed to become entangled with her.
At that time, he was unconscious due to his wounds and had heard her soft mumbles as she performed CPR on him: "You better don't die, ah. This is my first time doing a good deed. It's also my first time performing CPR. You see, I've even offered my first kiss to you. You're not allowed to die. Quickly, come back to life…" 
At that time, he really could not speak.
Otherwise, he would definitely have told her: Little one, CPR isn't as simple as blowing into someone's mouth as hard as you can manage. A first kiss also isn't as simple as touching lips with someone else.
---- 
Three days later. T University. 
The result of their exam was released. As expected, 'everything will come to him who works for it.' Ji Nuan's performance was ranked first in Professor Lin's class. 
Since she was young, Ji Nuan always managed an 'A' grade for all of her classes; this applied even in America when she was half-hearted in her studies. Her ability to absorb knowledge could be considered one of her talents. As long as she made some effort, she would always remember things better than others. Her understanding would also be more thorough. Thus, she rarely struggled with things like exams. 
They were about to head to the classroom building when Ling Feifei suddenly called Ji Nuan from behind: "Ji Nuan, you haven't been returning to the dormitory for the past few days. Could it be that you're seeing someone outside of school?" 
Ji Nuan did not turn around as she calmly replied: "We're not underage children. It's none of your business if I'm seeing someone. Even if I am, is it a problem for you?"
Ling Feifei rolled her eyes: "Don't think that I can't tell. When President Mo visited us previously, you kept looking for ways to talk to him. Afterward, you definitely took the opportunity in the bathroom to meet him privately. Did you think that you would be able to click with him just because you're both from Hai City? Have a good look in the mirror; with your looks, would you be able to stand next to him?"
"In this world, even fools have difficulty surviving. You haven't even taken a clear look of your own appearance, and you are sending the mirror to someone else's hands. Are you afraid that your facial features are too ugly, and the reflection will frighten you, or can you only see others? Have you already arrived at the stage of insanity where you've forgotten about your own existence? Ling Feifei, you have an illness, ah! You have to see a doctor and cure it!" Ji Nuan snorted. She paid no mind to Ling Feifei's choked expression and at once headed into the classroom building. 
Ling Feifei stood in her position and glared at Ji Nuan's back in anger, as though hoping to dig a hole into her back. She picked up her phone and read the message she had received earlier. 
[Fei Fei, I saw your roommate Ji Nuan this morning. She actually stepped off from President Mo's car! She's your roommate. You definitely have the inside scoop. Quickly, tell me. Is Ji Nuan hugging President Mo's big thigh?] 
After reading through this message once more, she lifted her eyes in Ji Nuan's direction. She had already entered the building. 
Ji Nuan was always unfazed, and she always kept everything to herself. She never revealed much about what was happening to her. Could it be that she had really secretly gone to take advantage of him? 
President Mo already said that he was married. If Ji Nuan was daring enough to interfere in someone else's marriage and seduced Mo Jingshen, she couldn't blame Ling Feifei for taking advantage of her weakness! 


Having been reborn, she takes one glance at her ridiculously handsome husband and wonders if she had suffered from brain damage back then—she had actually demanded for a divorce with him. Repeatedly! 

In her previous life, she had been deceived by her relatives who eventually led her to her tragic death. With this second chance at life, she vows to cozy up to her husband both literally and figuratively to destroy all her enemies and to take down the women who hid behind their scheming, innocent facades. She would be in control of her own happiness!

This is a sweet, doting love story featuring an intelligent female lead and a perfect male lead who's good at turning her knobs.

Katekyo hitman! Reborn!
Background noises and music of the Reborn series played in the background. The room was dimly lit with orange light from a simple and convenient table lamp. An apple brand touchscreen laptop, the source of the noise was set on a mahogany study table. The chair beside the study table was pulled out carelessly and clothes were strewn on the floor. A slight figure covered in a blue duvet with the head settled on a white pillow lay peacefully, stirring and turning occasionally and kicking one pillow to the ground. A man silently crept in the room, closed the laptop, adjusted the chair, turned off the table lamp and set the pillow on the bed. 
Ever since Khalayi had come back from her grandmother, she was different. The bubbly yet kind young lady was withdrawn and had been spending most of her time in her room binging on anime. She refused to go back to school citing sickness. His convincing power had declined to -00000.01 and he was at loss about what could be done. With a permissive grandmother as her guardian and a steady source of income, more than enough to cater to her for a lifetime, convincing her to go to school proved harder. However, her appetite did not spell 'unwell'. It consisted of binging on junk and skipping on meals because either she had eaten too much sugar or eaten too much salt, according to her. She could not be convinced to take soup either. 
The door creaked back, connecting with the doorknob. Khalayi had stirred up the moment she felt the presence of a person in the room. Regardless of how discrete Uncle Vinny was, her sharp instincts could not ignore the presence of a foreigner in her room.  Uncle Vinny was her carer, as an orphan and lone child, all she had in this world was Uncle Vinny, her grandmother, and her money. Her parent's past investments covered her slightly extravagant needs. The current world of money, freedom and next to no supervision had taken the 27year old soul in a teenager's body slightly perplexed but mostly exhilarated. Rather, appealed to her hidden sense of seeking adventure. There was so much mystery behind the kind-looking face. 
Nastanje woke up a week ago in an unfamiliar bed in a villa at the country-side. The villa had a bourgeoisie feel. The room she woke up in had a large translucent sliding glass door that led to a balcony providing a view of serene and restful environment; a hill with exotic trees could be seen from there. It looked like a man-made forest since the exotic trees extended to the villa. The morning light was reflected by the swimming pool whose water shimmered a bright blue, mirroring the sky. The tranquility could not break the restlessness she felt after waking up in a strange place. When she was surveying the environment, her restless feet had led her to the balcony, regardless of the painful limbs. It was not shocking that her limbs were painful because, well she had been in an accident. What she could not comprehend was how the hell she had found herself in this place. 
Caught up in her own world, the feeling that someone had opened the room and was standing near her jolted her back into reality. An elderly lady with salt and pepper hair, outgoing and baggy dungaree jeans and homely smile looked at her with fond eyes. Eyes that spoke of love, care, and a spoiling nature. A light breeze blowing by made the elderly lady frown a bit.
'Let us get you back into the room, it is cold outside. Are your feet still hurting? Why did you go so far out into the forest? I know you are strong and adventurous; can't you be a bit more careful? I only have you now', the old lady chided softly, her left arm snaking through Nastanje's back to her right arm while her right arm held her left arm, warmly embracing her and leading her to the bedroom. 
'Khalayi, is anything on your mind? Did you forget your name and brains somewhere after the fall? You are awfully quiet. The bath is ready. Am around the corner, just give me a call if you need anything', the elderly lady said as she settled her down to the bed and went out of the room.
Left alone, Nastanje attempted to get her thoughts in order. Why was she being called Khalayi. She was in an accident in a busy street, not some forest. Her body felt sweaty and sticky so she made her way to the bathroom. Passing by the mirror, she saw a slightly tiny version of her. 
'Just how much weight have I lost and how long have I been out,' she wondered as she continued to gaze at herself in the mirror. She felt that something wasn't right, the her who lost weight usually had an edgier and sallow jawline, not a youthful face. It looked like she had transformed into her younger self. It did not make sense, because, even if she had gone back to the past, she would not be in a villa with a kindly old woman calling her Khalayi. Warm water in the bathtub made her body relax but the cycle of thoughts still bugged her restless self. Stepping out of the tub refreshed, she dried herself and put on the clothes by the bedside. She descended down the stairs lined with lifelike paintings down to the living room carpeted in red with antique furniture and a strikingly unique grandfather clock. She slowly headed to the dining room, unsettling the elderly lady who chided her for walking around yet she was still weak. She smiled and stated that it was no big deal and she needed to walk around a bit after sleeping for so long.
'What do you mean sleeping for so long, you were brought here yester evening after being rescued from the fall', the elderly lady said.
'It must have been a light one. See, am still standing strong', Nastanje joked.
The old lady sighed helplessly and grumbled about stubborn children who begot stubborn grandchildren who make her life difficult. Nastanje, now responding to the name Khalayi sat down for breakfast, taking her meal silently as she tried to figure out how she became a grandchild to the old lady. She was careful to address her without mentioning her title, till she figured out how she got here and why she looked younger than usual. A little bit more talking with her grandmother made her realize she had been reborn in her doppelganger's body. Doppelgangers were just a theory in movies, but now, she was living the theory.
She covered herself more and sunk into slumberland after watching uncle Vinnie go. Her new identity was the last thing on her mind.

Dull, boring, routine do-gooder. 
'No, am not talking dirty with you now because am in the office and i look innocent and everyone thinks am a good person'
Reincarnated in her doppelganger's 19 year old body, 
'it is about time to be a bad girl, unapologetically evil, basely iniquitous'
She smiled innocently, her eyes holding an evil glint.

The characters might irk you. They have no apologies for who they are...

The shadow walked out from the room on the third floor. He spotted a glass marble sliding down the steps. He followed it and came to the ground floor. There was no one around. The shadow carried on alone. He saw the marble enter the toilet and stop before the cubicle. The clock for midnight stopped chiming. The shadow moved to the cubicle. He bent down to pick up the marble but noticed that the door of the cubicle was not closed tightly.
He leaned on the door and looked inside. Everything he saw was red. Holding the marble with both hands, the shadow entered the door. He walked among the redness. Perhaps because of some memory loss, the buildings were blurry. It looked like the mirage of a red city. The shadow lost his way. He wandered aimlessly with the marble until a hand fell on his shoulder. It was a child's hand, and the fingers were dirtied with black blood. The shadow was jolted from the shock. He slowly turned around, but the image in Chen Ge's mind ended then.
"The door in the haunted house is connected to the red city? Does the door lead to the center of the red city itself?" Chen Ge was confused. At least now he could confirm that the shadow had entered the world behind the door, and the corruption had probably started after he entered that door. Based on this memory, at least before he entered the door, the shadow was normal. Even though he would leave his host and go play alone at night, it was within an acceptable range. "The shadow ran into a child with bloody hands behind the door. The child is the key to the change in the shadow."
To turn a normal shadow into a Demon God, just the thought of it was mind-boggling. "Thankfully, I didn't enter the door when I found out about its problem, or else I'd probably be dead already."
Fang Yu's world was collapsing. Chen Ge summoned his employees and picked up the largest fishbowl fragment from the ground.
"Fang Yu?" Chen Ge looked at the red goldfish, and he frowned with consternation. This was his first time dealing with something like this. The world behind the door was a reflection of the door pusher's memory. If the door pusher had forgotten all her memories and even herself, then what kind of form would she take behind the door? Hearing Chen Ge's voice, the goldfish wagged its tail anxiously. Its body was covered with wounds.
"I'll bring you with me for now. If you are really Fang Yu, it can prove something else. There are not only human-shaped Specters behind the door, there are other things too that once might have been human beings."
With the aid from the Red Specters, Chen Ge held the broken fishbowl and pushed open the black iron door.
"AH!" A scream shattered the peace of the night. As Chen Ge opened his eyes, he saw something flying at him, and he quickly moved to the side to avoid it. The table lamp knocked against the wall. The glass cover cracked into pieces. If that thing had landed on his head, Chen Ge would have been bleeding profusely.
"Calm down!" Chen Ge switched on the light and then opened the bedroom door. The kind auntie had been leaning against the door, eavesdropping. The sudden opening of the door caused her to trip into the bedroom.
"Both of you please calm down! The treatment is already over! The effect is great!" Chen Ge looked at the two confused faces in the room. He walked to Fang Yu's bedside. "Did you dream about turning into a blood red goldish in a gray and white city? Did you see me there?"
Fang Yu, who finally calmed down, looked Chen Ge up and down. She nodded rather blankly. "I think you appeared in my nightmare."
"That was the power of hypnosis," Chen Ge said seriously. "This is the solution that I came up with after giving it much thought."
"Was it useful?"
"We will find out now." Chen Ge turned to Fang Yu. "Do you still remember the name Zhang Yi?"
Fang Yu's expression slowly froze. She grabbed his head with her hands and started to scream like she was going through serious mental trauma. Chen Ge did not expect this to happen. With the help from the auntie, they tried to console Fang Yu. After half an hour of comforting, Fang Yu collapsed on the bed and slept from extreme tiredness.
"She used to suffer from memory loss, but now she has completely lost her mind." The aunties did not look too happy about this.
"She has managed to remember some details from the past, but she needs some time to readjust to what she has remembered. She needs to slowly accept her past."
Chen Ge looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 3:30 am. The time he had spent behind Fang Yu's door was much longer than he had anticipated. It was too late to hurry to the Coffin Village that night. "Time moves much faster inside the door than it appears, it is hard to tell whether that is a good or bad thing."
After leaving the auntie's place, Chen Ge quickly took out the black phone. As he expected, there was an unread message.
"Completed 4/9 of the four-star Trial Mission, Ghost Fetus. The ghost fetus has lost an important part of his memory. Red Specters' Favored, you do not have much time left!"
"I wonder how important that piece of lost memory is to the ghost fetus. Is it possible for me to make use of this point to create some trouble for him? Like tricking him into entering a door again?"
After reading the message, Chen Ge returned to the haunted house to rest.
A new day had begun. Chen Ge put on the makeup for his employees and took his backpack to find the child with the heart problem. But the child was still not home, and more bizarrely, the child's neighbors had all moved away. The whole apartment block was empty. With no other option, Chen Ge called a cab to head toward Huai Ai Hospital in Eastern Jiujiang. This was the clue that he had gotten from the old city, someone who appeared to be the ghost fetus' 'mother' seemed to be employed there. It was only 9:30 in the morning, but Chen Ge had visited three locations already, moving from Western Jiujiang to Eastern Jiujiang.
"I'm sorry, but is the Nurse Yu in?" Chen Ge stood at the registration counter. This was a private hospital, so there was not that many patients.
"Please go and swipe your ID at the machine over there to get your number first."
"I am not here to see the doctor. There is some problem with Nurse Yu's child, and I wish to have a chat with her."
"Sister Yu's child?" The nurse on duty studied Chen Ge with half belief. Then she pulled up the phone and made a call. Then a female nurse about forty bustled over.
"You are Madam Yu Jie, aren't you?" Chen Ge walked over to meet her. He used Yin Yang Vision and did not notice anything too out of place on Yu Jie.
"I am so sorry. What trouble has my son gotten into this time?" Nurse Yu did not inquire about the reason Chen Ge was there. The first thing that came out of her mouth was an apology as if this was something often that she had to do.
"Do you mind if we go somewhere more private to talk? This place is not that suitable." Chen Ge led Nurse Yu out of the private hospital. He did not beat about the bush and came out with the question directly. "Did your son run away from home several years ago? He was living on the second floor of an apartment building in the old city, right?"
"How do you know that? At the time, he was still in school." Nurse Yu was getting more confused by Chen Ge's presence by the moment.
"Let me first introduce myself. My name is Chen Ge. I often help the police with their cases. These are all news articles about me on the internet." Chen Ge took out the news articles that he had searched about himself on the internet and showed them to Nurse Yu.
"An aid to the law enforcement?" Nurse Yu's expression changed immediately. "Then why are you looking for my son?"
"Please calm down first. What I am going to tell you next is very important." Chen Ge paused for a moment. "Your son might be related to a murder case. He is not the killer, but I need your cooperation."
"Impossible! My son would not get involved in a murder case! You must be mistaken!" Probably due to the shock and indignation, Nurse Yu shouted out her claim directly.
"You can choose to not believe me, or you can call the police. However, I am telling you now, the only person who can help him is me."


The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. 
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"
