After Hailing a Maybach
During my first year of graduate school, I hailed a ride and ended up in a Maybach.
That was when I met a man.
And from that moment on, the trajectory of my life was changed forever.
Don’t Contact the Strange Number from Your Dream
Should you take the initiative to add a stranger’s number that you saw in a dream?
Absolutely not!
Because you’ll never be able to guess what might be on the other end!
Forget Me, Remember
After an argument with Zhou Mingyu, I jumped from the thirtieth floor with my five-month-old daughter in my arms.
When I opened my eyes again, time had actually returned to yesterday.
On this day, because the baby wouldn’t stop crying, Zhou Mingyu snapped at me for the first time: “Chen Ran, you don’t have a mother yourself, so it’s no wonder you don’t even know how to take care of a child!”
Our relationship had always been good, so I thought he hadn’t meant it; I blamed it on my own volatile temper and for taking things too hard.
But time continued to flow backward, and I discovered that this wasn’t the first time Zhou Mingyu had said such things: During my postpartum recovery month, he joked, “If your mother were still alive, my mother wouldn’t be so exhausted.”
On the day I was hospitalized to give birth, in response to the nurse’s questions, he said with a smile, “Her mother passed away, so who else could be her caregiver but me?”
At our wedding, he held my hand and vowed, “Chen Ran, I will definitely take good care of you in your mother’s stead!”
… It turned out he had always cared about the fact that I didn’t have a mother.
But the strange thing was, why didn’t I have any memory of my mother at all?
Had she ever truly existed?
If time continued to flow backward, would I eventually see her?
Huai Nan
When the chandelier came crashing down, Pei Yi pushed me toward death to protect another woman.
As I lay there, blood streaming from my head, I was so happy I could have bashed my skull against a wall.
The woman who had hijacked my body had finally failed her mission and been wiped out.
Having reclaimed control of my own body, I didn’t spare Pei Yi a single glance.
Yet, with bloodshot eyes, he blocked my path. “Is it… is it really you? Have you come back?”
I Won’t Mess Around Next Time
After winning the lottery, the first thing I did was dump my sugar daddy.
Then, I turned around and sponsored the broke, handsome guy I’d had my eye on for ages, all while sending a three-hundred-point manifesto to my ex-benefactor, tearing him to shreds.
With money in my pocket and my pride restored, I was walking on air.
That is, until I decided to flaunt my new boy toy right in front of my former sugar daddy.
My handsome new man looked at him and said, “Hey, Bro.” Me: ?
My Dad Really Is the Richest Man
To win Jiang Bai over, I, a spoiled little princess with a monthly allowance of hundreds of thousands, spent three whole years pretending to be dirt poor.
All just so I could mooch meals and drinks off him.
But now his “white moonlight” has suddenly returned, and she even had the nerve to mock me for being a broke loser.
Fine! Great! You want to see who’s richer?
I’m done pretending!
My Oblivious Boyfriend Is Green-Tea-Proof
My boyfriend’s manipulative junior had tried to steal him away from me one too many times. Finally, I reached my breaking point and gave him a piece of advice.
My boyfriend replied, “Got it.” The next day. The junior said, “Good morning, Senior! What a coincidence, seeing you here again.”
My boyfriend replied, “Good morning. I’m gay.” The junior: “?”
No Returns Accepted
My husband absolutely loathed his new graduate student.
He even went so far as to cause a scene in front of the Dean, demanding that she be transferred to another research group.
He claimed she was morally corrupt and a disgrace to academia.
That was, until the fire alarm went off. His custom-made suit was soaked through as he draped it over her head.
He pushed past me, carrying her in his arms like a princess as he rushed down the stairs.
Old Mountain Spring
My fiancé had been secretly sponsoring a young girl behind my back.
As my car passed by her school, I saw the girl clutching the faded sleeve of a teenage boy, timidly calling him Brother Xu.
The boy had delicate, handsome features and stood tall and elegant, like a white birch tree.
“Bring him over,” I said. “Miss?” I lifted my chin, my tone indifferent. “It’s nothing. I just want to do some sponsoring of my own.”
Premeditated
This was the seventeenth time I’d run into my roommate Cheng Yuming’s girlfriend on my way downstairs.
As was her habit, she pulled a plump orange from her bag and offered it to me, her eyes curving into a gentle, sweet smile.
I didn’t take it. I simply called her name. “Jiang Tingyu.”
“Yes?”
“Try a different fruit,” I said, my voice flat. “Oranges cause too much internal heat.”
