Nine months and ten days later, Miaomiao gave birth to an adorable baby girl. They named her Song Xiaoran, meaning "natural sweetness," a reminder of the sweet love that had blossomed between them. Song Yichen, the man once famous among his whole company for being cold and stern, became an incredibly gentle father, ready to drop any important meeting just to get home in time to bathe his daughter, or to patiently sing lullabies for hours whenever little Xiaoran fussed in the middle of the night. After…-

The city at night always had a beauty all its own. Long rows of lights stretched along the rain-soaked streets, reflecting off the pavement in blurred streaks. People hurried to find shelter, umbrellas bobbing one after another through the rain like drifting petals. Lin Kai stood at the glass window on the twenty-eighth floor of the Mingcheng Group, silently looking down at the city. In his hand was a thin file. On the first page was a single name. Song Anran. Kai looked at that name for a long…-

After that meeting, Anran could barely concentrate on her work. She opened the old box again. The letter was still inside. Every stroke was hers. But what weighed on her most was Kai's words. The person who sent that message wasn't me. Anran took her old phone from a drawer. She had kept it. Not out of nostalgia. She had just never been brave enough to delete the things that belonged to the past. She reopened the old messages. Back then, an unknown number had sent her one very short line: Kai…

Once the truth came out, Kai and Anran didn't rush to put a name on what they were. They started with very small things. A breakfast. A meeting. A cup of tea. A message asking: Are you busy today? Anran noticed Kai still had his habit of working late into the night. Kai noticed she still often forgot to eat on time. They had once known each other so well. Then spent eight years apart. Now they were learning to understand each other all over again. The resort project went smoothly. Anran spent…

The project was completed six months later. The seaside resort was officially unveiled. Anran received a job offer from an international design firm abroad. It was the opportunity she had always hoped for. But this time, she didn't want to decide alone. She told Kai. "I could go for a year." Kai was silent. "You don't want me to go?" "I do." Anran was surprised. "I want you to go." Kai looked at her. "You've worked so long for this chance. I don't want love to be the reason you give up what…

A year went by. Anran was busy with her new job. Kai expanded Mingcheng into design and hospitality. They didn't live in the same city. But every night, they made time to call each other. Some days for just a few minutes. Some days until almost dawn. They told each other very ordinary things. A new design. A delicious meal. An exhausting day at work. A sudden rain. Distance was no longer frightening. Because they knew the other was still there. At the end of the year, Anran sent Kai a…

Three years later. An autumn morning. Anran stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her hair. The silver hair clip was still there. Kai came in. "Ready?" "Ready." "Nervous?" "A little." Today was the opening of Anran's own design studio. She had once thought she would have to choose between love and her career. But Kai had never made her choose. He had only stood beside her. And let her walk on her own. Anran looked at him. "Thank you." "For what?" "For waiting for me." Kai shook his…

Every time the weather turned cold, the second young lady of the Shen household came down with a strange illness called "sleepless madness." She would often run out of her room in the middle of the night with her hair loose, muttering words no one could understand, crying one moment and laughing the next, even smashing things. The physicians of the city took turns examining her. Some said she had suffered a terrible fright, others that it was a sickness of the heart and hard to cure, but none of them…-

Just as the hour of the Dog struck, there was a strange noise at the back gate of the courtyard. Ziyun had been waiting. Before long, she brought in a maid in a green dress and locked her in the woodshed at the back, with two old nannies standing guard. It was Luzhu, Shen Ruolan's personal maid, caught red-handed trying to get hold of the spare key to my courtyard. I knew Luzhu's mother was gravely ill, and Ruolan had never been willing to pay for her medicine. In my past life, after that night, Luzhu…

"Lies! It's all lies!" Lady Feng's shrill voice suddenly shattered the silence. She pulled Shen Ruolan behind her and glared coldly at Luzhu. "A lowly maid like you, slandering your mistress to save your own skin? Someone! Drag her out and give her twenty strokes!" Two servants stepped forward at once. "Wait." Gu Mingxuan said only one word, and everyone stopped. He looked at Lady Feng coolly. "Madam Shen, the matter hasn't been made clear yet. Rushing to punish the witness hardly seems…
