Please bookmark the next novel, The Rise of the Angler-Type Film Queen. Cen Luo once believed that if she only tried a little harder, she could warm Jian Mu's heart. After ten years, Cen Luo finally understood that Jian Mu has no heart at all. Cen Luo is stubborn and refuses to accept defeat, so every time they grew close she would ask Jian Mu whether she loved her. Jian Mu's voice was always cool, but her answer was always complete: I do not love you. On her twenty-sixth birthday, in front of all her friends, including Jian Mu, Cen Luo made a birthday wish: I wish I had never met Jian Mu. Smiling brightly, Cen Luo looked at Jian Mu, hoping to see even the slightest change in her expression, but all she heard was Jian Mu's calm reply: Very good. I wish your dream comes true. Later, the words became prophecy. Because of an accident, Cen Luo's memories roll back ten years, to the time before she had ever met Jian Mu. And then the very person who once wished for that outcome is the one who panics. Later on, Jian Mu personally cooks a table full of Cen Luo's favorite dishes, only for Cen Luo to pick at them, take one bite, spit it out, and say with open disgust, Even if it is rude to say this, President Jian, your cooking is really terrible. I tried, but I honestly cannot swallow it. Jian Mu remembers that long ago Cen Luo praised her cooking and said she hoped to eat it every day. Cen Luo then adds, And President Jian, if you say we were in love for ten years, then how do you not know that I am allergic to carrots? At that moment Jian Mu suddenly understands what she herself has done to Cen Luo. One day Cen Luo flips through an old diary of hers. It says: number one, Jian Mu does not like spicy food, so do not add chili when cooking if possible. Cen Luo is baffled. Not like spicy food? Then who was the one dragging me to eat spicy crawfish and hotpot last month? Number two, Jian Mu does not like noise, so stay a little quieter around her. Cen Luo thinks, Does not like noise? Then who was the one following me into a bar? ... Number ten, Jian Mu does not like me, so I should give her time and space. Cen Luo cannot understand it at all. She thinks, She does not like me? Then what has she been doing these last few months, silently trailing after me and asking me to come home? Does she really have that much free time? At one point Cen Luo says, I heard I chased you for seven years before you reluctantly agreed to be with me. I do not understand why I would do something like that, but I respect the choice my past self made. I only respect it, nothing more. I hope President Jian will stop disturbing my life from now on. Without you, I am doing very well. Jian Mu can only answer, ... Mm. Reading guide: this is a same-sex marriage setting with a wife-chasing crematorium plotline, full melodrama, and an old-school amnesia trope. The official pairing is Jian Mu. There will be no change of couple. Next novel blurb, The Rise of the Angler-Type Film Queen: from a very young age, Jiang Tingyu knew she was a child the Jiang family had taken in and that she had a marriage arrangement with the Jiang family's eldest daughter. She followed Jiang Weiyin for nearly twenty years, yet never earned even a proper glance from her. Later even the faith she had always clung to collapsed. Jiang Tingyu proposes ending the engagement and takes the first romance role of her life. Under Jiang Weiyin's interference, not only is there no scene partner left, even the production's previously negotiated investment begins withdrawing one by one. Just when things reach a dead end and Jiang Tingyu decides to give up, a hot search about the production explodes online. Ning Zhaoxi, a film queen who has spent eight years in the industry and won countless movie awards, suddenly becomes linked to this terrible drama project. Jiang Tingyu thinks Ning Zhaoxi is talented and kind, but their previous interactions were not exactly pleasant. Seeing the trending topic, Jiang Tingyu nervously sends her a greeting: Hello. To her surprise, Ning Zhaoxi replies instantly: I will fully fund it. Jiang Tingyu is stunned: Huh? Ning Zhaoxi says: I will fund the whole production. Will that do? Filming with Ning Zhaoxi turns out to be easy and enjoyable, and Jiang Tingyu feels she can learn a lot from her. When she tells her friends how happy she is, they are horrified. They say, Are you crazy? She is famously strict in acting scenes, never drinks milk tea, skips group dinners, and leaves right after filming without wasting a second. Looking at the latest message from Ning Zhaoxi asking whether she wants a late-night snack, Jiang Tingyu can only stare blankly and say, Huh? There is an intimate scene in the script, but Jiang Tingyu knows Ning Zhaoxi never takes kissing scenes, so she says nothing. Until the day Jiang Weiyin visits the set, and Ning Zhaoxi suddenly says, We are filming the kiss scene today. Jiang Tingyu blinks because, if she remembers correctly, the call sheet had that kiss scene scheduled for half a month later. Jiang Weiyin, who has come to visit under the pretext of sponsorship, turns livid and tries to pull Jiang Tingyu away, but before her hand can even reach her, Jiang Tingyu has already fallen into Ning Zhaoxi's arms. By her ear comes a cold, provocative voice: She is my female lead now. You should leave the stage. Little extra scene: when the production wraps, the media asks Ning Zhaoxi why she accepted the role. Ning Zhaoxi glances lazily at Jiang Tingyu and says, Because of Teacher Tingyu. Jiang Tingyu: ? Ning Zhaoxi continues, Teacher Tingyu has great technique, oh, I mean acting, and she is serious and kind. There are many things I still want to learn from Teacher Tingyu in the future. Jiang Tingyu can only think, Does she mean that kind of up-and-down learning from last night? Because of those words, the hot search explodes again that very night. Some people are furious enough to blow up phones, while others lose their minds shipping them. Official pairing: Jiang Tingyu and Ning Zhaoxi. The logic serves the drama, and some parts may be airy and unrealistic, so please do not map it onto the real entertainment industry.
