★ Energetic Newcomer Shang Zhitao × Sharp-Tongued Boss Luan Nian

At the age of twenty-two, Shang Zhitao accomplished the first great feat of her life: moving alone from Nanjing to Beijing.

Her heart was filled with so much love for Luan Nian, yet all he wanted was to take advantage of her feelings for him and hurt her as he pleased.

The days of falling in love for the first time, when her heart was just beginning to awaken, would never come again.

At twenty-two, Shang Zhitao made the journey from Nanjing to Beijing on her own for the first time. She stepped through the doors of a world-leading international advertising agency, determined to learn her job diligently and work hard from the ground up. Yet she heard her superior, Luan Nian, say coldly, “Find another job as soon as possible. That’s my advice to you.”

In an unfamiliar city, surrounded by unfamiliar people, she fought alone, possessing a kind of solitary courage that was almost tragic in its determination.

Shang Zhitao had no idea that Luan Nian had already occupied a small corner of her heart, driving her forward.

Meanwhile, Luan Nian was rather ungrateful, wanting to exploit her affection for him and hurt her without restraint.

★ Once, she was an ordinary, obedient, well-behaved girl—a dim star by your side, so inconspicuous that her presence hardly mattered.

Later, she shone like the sun: radiant, dazzling, and bright enough to burn. But by then, she no longer loved you.

Back then, she was twenty-two, and he was twenty-eight. They were both in the prime of their lives.

She was innocent and brave; he was worldly-wise and hardened.

He knew that he was not worthy of being loved.

Chinese Historical Romance

Deep within a hundred flowers lives a miserable girl named Hua'er. Miss Hua'er is a night watchman. Every time the curtain of night falls, her slender hand picks up the bamboo clapper, and she follows behind the bailiff, calling out like a soul. Second Master Bai is a light sleeper, and every time he tries to fall asleep, that trembling voice enters his ears and disturbs his rest. Over time, he developed the idea of marrying her and bringing her home, to shut her mouth and get a peaceful night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the matchmaker entered the door, before her bottom was even warm, she was chased out by the ungrateful Hua'er: "I'd marry anyone but that notorious Second Master Bai!"

I'm not good at writing synopses. It's largely a story that is very bitter yet very sweet.

Thunder and dew, all are the grace of Heaven.

One-Sentence Summary: Waiting for a clear day.

Theme: As long as vitality does not die, there will eventually be a day for human affairs to look up.

Douban Synopsis: Produced by iQIYI, adapted from the novel of the same name by Girl, Don't Cry, it is the first domestic costume drama focusing on the survival of women in a chaotic era. It showcases the paths of three low-ranking women who stage an underdog's counterattack like "an ant trying to topple a giant tree," composing a moving epic of a group of small-town individuals joining hands to rebuild their home. The story tells of how, in a time of chaos, Yan Zhuo City, separated from the Northern Di Kingdom by a river, is suddenly massacred. This forces three best friends from Willow Alley, a poor neighborhood, onto different paths: Hua'er, a night watchman, uses her grassroots wisdom to break the deadlock and goes from the commercial world to the battlefield; Hanchan, a poor talented scholar, uses the Prince's residence as a chessboard, setting hidden pieces to stir up the imperial court; and Ye Huashang, the County Magistrate's daughter, becomes a slave in the grasslands but, in turn, tames a "wolf" into a "dog." The three women weave a tapestry of intricate strategies through chaotic business rivalries, palace power struggles, and bloody war, ultimately bringing peace to the conflict between the two nations and reshaping the world's structure. It also portrays several highly intense, push-and-pull love stories interwoven with love and hate.

T/N: Main story complete. Side stories will be added when we are able to obtain them.
