Douban Synopsis:

Born into a wealthy and powerful family, Jiang Yanzhou has no choice but to walk the path laid out for him. His vitality and passion have been completely crushed, and everything around him feels like a deep valley trapping him. He has no curiosity about his future—until he meets Song Zhi.

She is radiant and unrestrained, like a thorny rose—prickly yet alluring. He accidentally stumbles into her rose garden, intoxicated by its fragrance. Despite knowing the thorns could hurt him, he can’t resist the temptation.

With one step forward, he falls completely under her spell.

jjwxc synopsis:

To make the most of the private jet, D-grade diamond, and designer handbags Jiang Yanzhou bought her, Song Zhi devoted herself to staying by his side, playing the role of his favorite delicate flower.

That is, until the legendary “white moonlight” returned—

A proper, genuine delicate flower.

In no time, Song Zhi became the laughingstock of high society.

“Just a small-time actress from humble beginnings, dreaming of marrying into wealth, only to realize she was nothing more than a substitute.”

Without hesitation, Song Zhi cut up the supplementary card Jiang Yanzhou gave her and sent him a preemptive message: “Let’s break up, you dog!”

Then she turned on her heel and left, finally free to focus on her career.

At the prestigious acting awards ceremony, Song Zhi wore an eight-figure custom haute couture gown, Valentino heels, and dazzling diamond earrings.

During the interview, the media asked about her rumored boyfriend: “We heard that Jiang Yanzhou, the president of Shenhuan Group, is your boyfriend?”

Song Zhi smiled with three parts composure and seven parts elegance: “Jiang Yanzhou? Who’s that?”

The next day, the usually low-profile President Jiang of Shenhuan Group made a rare appearance for an interview. Gone was his typical cold, rational, and aloof demeanor.

He humbly pleaded with her: “Can we… not break up?”

Song Zhi: The tables have turned :).

Chinese Modern Romance

When Cen Yuan was twenty-two, she stayed with Shang Teng. The latter promised her that he could give her anything she wanted. The prerequisite was that she must not fall in love.

An unattainable figure in the business world, Shang Teng married Cen Yuan—then still a student—to avoid an arranged marriage. The world said that in the heart of the noble and cold eldest son of the Shang family, someone already lived. Cen Yuan was merely a substitute.

After the wedding, Cen Yuan endured the ridicule of everyone. They said she became a stepmother the moment she married in, raising someone else's child. Her husband did not love her; he only married her to use her.

Cen Yuan understood all of this. Shang Teng married her because she was obedient and easy to control.

Later, Shang Teng accidentally saw a photograph in Cen Yuan’s drawer. She was smiling brightly, leaning against the shoulder of the man beside her. And that man’s features were strikingly similar to his own; both had a brown tear mole below the corner of the eye. Shang Teng finally understood why she was always staring at him in a daze.

In a fit of rage at being the substitute, Shang Teng had the tear mole removed. Cen Yuan looked at him and shook her head in disappointment: "You don't look like him anymore."

During that time, the jokes about the Shang family spread throughout the upper circles of Xun City. They heard that the strategic and calculating Shang Teng had become like one possessed. He neglected his company and pestered his ex-wife all day, begging her to remarry him.

Chinese Modern Romance

Qiao Ruan had a secret: she liked Shen Fu from the class next door. His existence seemed to serve as proof that there are differences between people. He was high above, dazzling and eye-catching, while Qiao Ruan had nothing. She knew well that even if their paths crossed, there would be no result. Thus, she could only hide her affection and watch him be with other girls.

Later, the consistently gentle and humble Shen Fu, who was friendly to everyone, got into a fight with someone for the sake of that girl. Qiao Ruan decided she would never like him again.

--

Ten years without meeting, and upon their reunion, Qiao Ruan already had someone else by her side. Shen Fu came to her holding Qiao Ruan’s diary, his voice trembling slightly: "You clearly liked me." Qiao Ruan’s expression was calm: "I did like you once, but it's all in the past." Hearing these words, Shen Fu forced himself to stay upright, trying hard not to let his expression look too wretched. Only his voice betrayed him, his crying tone too obvious: "A-Ruan, let’s try again, okay? What if you fall in love with me again?"

Chinese Modern Romance

The Qin family of Jiangbei is a renowned scholarly household of high reputation. Unfortunately, the men of the Qin family are frail; none have lived past forty. Upon his deathbed, the Elder Master Qin arranged a childhood betrothal for his only son. The match was with a comrade from his days in the military performing arts troupe—a man from the great steppes who reportedly had a daughter who grew up riding stallions and drinking strong liquor. The family believed in supplementing what was lacking. And so, this marriage was settled.

Xia Chunyin flew from the vast grasslands to Jiangbei for school. The first time she met Qin Yi, she was scared to tears. The "frail and sickly, scholarly, gentle and refined" Jiangbei fiancé her father had described was leaning lazily against a flashy sports car with a cigarette in his mouth. Standing at 188cm, he was so physically imposing he looked like he could crush her with a single punch. His narrow, auspicious phoenix eyes carried a hint of cold, arrogant rebellion as he silently looked her up and down.

Qin Yi couldn't understand it. Wasn't she supposed to have grown up riding horses and drinking hard liquor? Why was her skin so delicate it turned red at a touch, and why did she cry just from him looking at her? Damn, this is so boring. His tone was harsh: "I don't have the slightest bit of interest in this bullshit childhood betrothal. Don't you go getting any ideas about me either."

--

Two years later, the famous model Xia Chunyin was surrounded by endless scandals. One day it was a Movie King, the next it was a top-tier singer. Paparazzi hungry for a scoop camped out under her apartment every day, hoping to unearth a major headline. Until one moonless, windy night, a mysterious man gripped her waist and pressed her firmly into his embrace. "When the fuck are you finally going to have some ideas about me? I'm going crazy thinking about you every single night."

Chinese Modern Romance

Douban Synopsis: He Qingzhou loved Jiang Yuan for more than a decade, until she called him to end their engagement. The next morning, news came that He Qingzhou had been in a car accident and lost his memory. The warmth he once showed vanished instantly. The gentleness he only ever showed to Jiang Yuan, the sweet nothings he only ever said to Jiang Yuan, no longer belonged to just one person. Every instinctive step toward her could only be proven as a lack of love by causing her harm. Not until the first year after Jiang Yuan left the city did He Qingzhou regain his memory...

Their love is a long and determined pursuit. If the river and sea are difficult to cross, only a light boat can get through.

JJWXC Synopsis: He Qingzhou loved Jiang Yuan for more than a decade, doting on her and protecting her.

Until Jiang Yuan called to end their engagement.

The next morning, she learned that He Qingzhou had a car accident on his way to see her and lost his memory.

After losing his memory, He Qingzhou found Jiang Yuan unbearable. This pure, innocent girl was not his type at all, yet everyone told him he used to be like a dog on a leash for her. He looked at her with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Is my taste really that bad?"

He was naturally a fiery and irritable person, and it was only ever in front of Jiang Yuan that he would show a rare, gentle side. Now that he didn't remember her or love her, there was no need for pretense. He started saying the same sweet things to other women that he had once only said to Jiang Yuan.

Everyone felt sorry for the relationship and for He Qingzhou's change in attitude toward Jiang Yuan.

Not until the first year after Jiang Yuan left the city did He Qingzhou regain his memory.

PS: The female lead had a reason for ending the engagement.

PSS: The male lead never liked the internet celebrity. I subtly hinted at this in the text. Due to post-traumatic stress from the car accident, he had an instinctive resistance to the female lead. Plus, the people around him kept reminding him how much he used to like her, creating a rebellious attitude, which is why he accepted the celebrity's pursuit.

As for Su Yu's comments like "that internet celebrity you were with a while ago" and "didn't you used to like her a lot?", these were just friendly jabs. That's just Su Yu's character.

And He Qingzhou never intended to have any physical relationship with the internet celebrity, nor am I trying to justify his actions.

In the original text, "tried a few times and it was like this" doesn't mean he was trying to get intimate with the celebrity; it means that whenever he got close to her, his body would instinctively resist, so he tried a few times to see what would happen.

He Qingzhou never intended to have any intimate contact with anyone other than the female lead.

Chinese Modern Romance

Jiang Congxian had always believed that his life was already over.

Dull, hopeless, and lifeless — like a withered flower waiting to die.

Until Lin Wangshu appeared, and for the first time, gave him a reason to live.

From then on, a man who had long been trapped in hell began to dream of brushing the hem of a princess’s gown.

For her, he was willing to let go of the past and learn to forgive.

For her, the battle-scarred wolf was willing to become a gentle cat.

After enduring half a lifetime of suffering, he finally welcomed his moon.

---

The first time Lin Wangshu met Jiang Congxian was at her uncle’s birthday banquet.

He was elegant and composed, carrying a grace of his own.

Despite his status, he treated everyone the same — always with a soft, courteous smile.

But when the Lin family went bankrupt, she was forced to survive under his protection.

Night after night, he would coldly remind her:

“Know your place. Don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you.”

Jiang Congxian never worried that this clawless kitten would escape his grasp —

Until one night, he saw Lin Wangshu stepping out of a black Benz, a man gently draping a coat over her shoulders.

For the first time, he panicked.

The high-and-mighty Jiang Congxian had become as lowly and desperate as an ant.

He pleaded: “Lin Wangshu… even if you just keep me around like a stray dog — please don’t leave me.”
