Ten years ago, Chen Yu’s lover, Ji Xitong, died in a car accident.

The funeral was arranged entirely by Ji Xitong’s parents. Chen Yu could only attend as a close friend.

She didn’t shed a single tear—just stood there, holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums, staring numbly at Ji Xitong’s memorial portrait.

Friends and relatives urged her not to live in the past forever.

Each time, Chen Yu would nod and tell them she just needed a little more time.

But over the past ten years, a fresh bouquet of chrysanthemums always appeared at Ji Xitong’s grave every week, rain or shine.

Until the anniversary of Ji Xitong’s death in the tenth year.

Chen Yu gently brushed her fingers over the smiling dimple in the portrait and whispered, “This is the last time I’ll come see you.”

The fallen petals swayed gently in front of the black granite tombstone, carried far by the wind.

That day, as Chen Yu passed the intersection where the fatal accident had occurred, her car sped straight toward the wide river.

The death she had waited so long for did not come. When she awoke, she saw a figure she hadn’t seen in years—

Dim, blurred, cold... like a ghostly shadow under the moonlight.

Her knuckles curled slightly as she hoarsely murmured the name she had longed for day and night:

“…Ji Xitong.”

---

The flower language of chrysanthemums is: “I have forever lost my love.”

In the ten years since becoming a spirit, Ji Xitong had received countless chrysanthemums.

If death was an unchangeable fact, then she would be content to stay quietly by Chen Yu’s side from afar.

In those countless midnight dreams, she would gently clasp her fingers with hands as ethereal as air.

One-sentence summary: Ten years after her wife’s death, a ghostly reunion brings back a long-lost love.

Theme: Cherish life.

Ling Yu loves Gu Qing, and everyone knows that her love is both cheap and foolish.

She treats herself like a stone under Gu Qing’s feet, moving wherever needed.

On graduation day, it rained heavily.

Ling Yu’s hands were frozen red, pitifully holding a hundred balloons, rushing into the auditorium.

In the crowd, Gu Qing appeared mature and alluring, her curves accentuated by the bachelor’s gown. She was surrounded by a group of boys and girls vying to confess their feelings to her.

Ling Yu called out to her: “Gu Qing…”

Gu Qing’s eyes were filled with disgust as she stared at her wet body, her tone laced with hidden anger: “Is this amusing? Ling Yu, I could never possibly like women.”

The auditorium was silent as a tomb; everyone thought Ling Yu would force a smile and shamelessly cling to Gu Qing.

However, no one heard it. In Ling Yu’s mind, the system prompt sounded: [Congratulations, host. The female supporting character’s plotline has been completed. Task reward: Natural Death.]

After Ling Yu completely disappeared from Gu Qing’s world.

One time at a bar, a friend asked Ling Yu, “If you liked a woman as cold and elegant as Gu Qing, would you find everyone else dull in comparison?”

“Liked?” Ling Yu casually swirled her wine glass, her tone nonchalant: “Having liked a stingy straight girl? I’ll let you know once I fall for her…”

That night, the fragmented, colorful lights of the bar danced across Ling Yu’s face. She was surrounded by admirers, living life to the fullest.

Gu Qing sat in the adjacent booth, clenching her fists tightly.

One-sentence summary: Book transmigrating drama queen vs. ironclad straight and paranoid female lead.

Intention: Create wealth with your hands, feel kindness with your heart. Open your heart, approach kindness, and only then can we move forward hand in hand

https://www.novelupdates.com/series/pretending-to-be-affectionate-transmigration/

Lu Zhiwei, a marginalized nobody.

Unloved by her parents, with no friends or close family, she’s drifted through life all alone.

Her presence is so faint that even if someone bumped into her, they probably wouldn’t even realize they’d hit a person.

Her life has been nothing short of tragic and absurd.

Until one day, a “Male Lead Halo” came crashing down on her head—

And her life took a complete turn.

Along with it came a thing called the System.

The System demanded she take up the post of protagonist immediately, do what the male lead was supposed to do, and fix the world’s storyline.

Lu Zhiwei: ?

Lu Zhiwei: This is ridiculous, I’m a girl!

System (not listening): Doesn’t matter. If you don’t complete the mission, I’ll zap you.

Lu Zhiwei, terrified of pain: Got it, bro. No problem, bro.

But the more missions she completed, the more they realized something was off.

The female lead—

was absolutely, completely, not following the script!

System: ?

Lu Zhiwei, with a great attitude, even tried to comfort the system: Just let it go. If I can be the male lead, why can’t the female lead be a little rebellious?

System: I CAN’T let it go!!

This female lead with maxed-out evasion stats is way too ridiculous!!

In the end, the rebellious and absurd female lead finally followed the script—

She fell in love with the “male lead.”

Song Zhijin worked herself dizzy and fainted from hunger. In a stroke of misfortune, she fell into a river—and was reborn more than ten years into the past.

The good news: she’s now strong, beautiful, and young—she has all the advantages of youth!

The bad news: her family is bankrupt, and the canary she ghosted and dumped in her previous life has come clinging back!

That face she used to love to death now corners her against the wall. One hand lifts her chin, eyes misty, voice pressing hard:

“Jiejie, why did you abandon me?”

Startled out of her wits, Song Zhijin reflexively slaps her.

But instead of getting angry, Jiang Lian lowers her gaze with a soft smile, pressing her cheek into Song Zhijin’s palm, voice full of tender sweetness:

“Jiejie, if you’re angry… it means you still care about me.”

—

As she cautiously mends their delicate, on-thin-ice relationship, Song Zhijin finally becomes Jiang Lian’s girlfriend.

But one morning, Jiang Lian suddenly wakes up—with the memories from ten years in the future restored.

Panicked, Song Zhijin turns to the internet for help:

Help! My ex-girlfriend lost her memory and we got back together… but now she suddenly remembers why I dumped her in the first place! What do I do? Asking online—urgent!

Replies (99+):

“OP… you’re on your own. Good luck!”

She’s bound to a poison arts system—if she wants to keep living, she has to keep poisoning people to exchange for life force.

Xu Lianqiao: “What am I supposed to do, living every day with the system constantly urging me to kill?”

Everything had been going smoothly—until she ran into a young divine doctor fresh out of Butterfly Valley: Feng Yuchen.

After failing for the 108th time, Xu Lianqiao glared angrily: “Spare me just once so I can poison someone, please?”

Feng Yuchen smiled gently, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, as she applied a silver needle: “No. I cure all illnesses, and I’ll treat you just the same.”

“Don’t believe me? Try for a lifetime.”

Xu Lianqiao: …

I harm people, you save people. Together we cancel each other out. Yin and yang in harmony, opposites attract, and Heaven rewards hard work.

One-line Summary:

I poison people, she saves them—positive plus negative equals balance.

Theme/Message:

Finding harmony between extremes; good and evil, yin and yang, can complement each other.

Xiao San's world merges with a typical angst-filled romance novel world.

She originally wanted to save the female lead, hoping the girl could escape the tragic plot. But she never expected the female lead to be hopelessly in love with the male lead.

What could she do? She had no choice but to accept it.

Only… why did the story start veering off course in such bizarre ways?

Turns out, she was actually the male lead's first love.

And the female lead gave up the male lead—for her.

Now, as the once-lovey-dovey couple fight and compete for her affection, she starts to wonder:

Wait a second... isn't there some kind of misunderstanding here?!

It wasn’t until the female lead pinned her against the wall and kissed her that she finally realized:

Isn’t this... a way of changing the plot too?

---

Zheng Qi’s Perspective:

She craves Xiao San’s gaze. She’s addicted to Xiao San’s tenderness.

She admits she’s despicable, twisted, narrow-minded.

So even someone like Shen Lin can’t stop her from getting closer to Xiao San.

In this life, she doesn’t believe in gods or Buddha—whatever she wants, she seizes by any means necessary.

Only that one day, the day she lost Xiao San...

She knelt with each step, from the foot of Mount Chen to the very top, just to see Xiao San one last time.

---

The story has a slow burn. In the early stages, Zheng Qi is mostly trying to get closer to the male lead.
