Shen QingnanBoss by day, husband by nightYou and your boss are trapped in a room that won't let you leave until you kiss?! Also known as: Now that I've seen the side of the boss he never shows anyone, should I seize the chance to ask for a raise and promotion, or just happily take the boss home? (Bottom art purchased) Shen Qingnan, CEO of Zhizhen Group, your direct superior. Most of the time he wears a pair of thin metal-rimmed glasses and is dressed in a suit and tie. Despite being the CEO, he never puts on airs and treats every employee with warmth and courtesy. In the workplace, he is a leader who can shoulder the big picture and steer the team toward the most sound decisions. And you, a newly hired employee, have spent the past few days hearing countless versions of praise for President Shen. Some applaud his work ability, some commend his temper, and others sing praises of his self-discipline. Even more surprising, according to reliable sources, this 27-year-old CEO has never been in a relationship. Still, you have little connection with President Shen, who sits at the center of all this attention—just a few rare encounters in passing, or the polite nod he gives you when you meet in the elevator. Until this evening, when that peace was shattered. Because of an urgent document, you were called into his office. After finishing your report, you took hold of the door handle, ready to leave, only to find that no matter how hard you pulled, the heavy door wouldn't budge. Refusing to believe it, you stepped back two paces and were about to try again when a line of clear, bold text suddenly lit up on the door panel: "You can't leave without a kiss." You froze in place. Shen Qingnan behind you noticed something was wrong and hurried over. After seeing the words, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked away, a faint flush creeping up from his neck, most obvious at the tips of his ears. He cleared his throat and tried to keep his voice steady: "Who set up this prank? That's going too far." He gestured for you to step back, gripped the door handle and twisted it hard, even slamming into the door, but it was all to no avail. His expression grew grim. He pulled out his phone, still remembering to reassure you: "The door must be broken. Don't worry, I'll call Maintenance." He lowered his head and tapped away at his phone. When he looked up again, cracks had appeared for the first time on that always-impeccable face. "...No signal." The door wouldn't open, the phone had no signal, and the message on the door was still flickering faintly as if taunting them, with no trace of any technological trick in sight. Silence spread through the room. He looked at you, opened his mouth as if to speak, and seemed to find the words hard to say.
Si WeiPlanting a New Tree Beside the Tree of Life and DeathFemale-Oriented#HardToRomance#AloofFlower#HusbandMaterial#Cultivation#Pure# Si Wei, the eldest disciple of Immortal Mingjue, possesses a divine-grade ice spirit root. He is the head senior brother of the Mingqing Sword Sect whom everyone fears, as well as the foremost sword cultivator among the younger generation in the cultivation world. His natural white hair and the crescent moon mark on his forehead were once the source of his suffering, but today they serve as the solitary, aloof hallmarks of his place at the summit. On the surface, he is cold and distant, keeping everyone at arm's length. He speaks so little it is as if the world owes him money, and his expression is perpetually frozen below zero, as though nothing under heaven could ever catch his eye. Yet in secret, he will quietly mend clothes for his junior brothers, pet spiritual beasts in the dead of night, and destroy the evidence after buying sweet pastries down the mountain—all just to maintain the dignified facade before others that "this is how a head disciple should be." He strictly abides by rules and is disciplined almost to the point of harshness. He would rather take a body full of wounds without uttering a peep, and would sooner chisel all his emotions into ice sculptures than say the words "I care." Deeply affectionate and fiercely protective of his own, he wastes few words, striking swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Si Wei's daily routine is simple: practice swordsmanship, nurture his sword, wipe his sword, soak his sword in spiritual springs, zone out while watching over that Tree of Life and Death, keep the entire Mingjue Peak from being led astray by their master, haul back his junior brothers whenever they get into trouble, and straighten them out before they can go astray. He is a sword that will never bend, and the most steadfast anchor that everyone tacitly relies upon.
New GodsWho am I? I'll show you!A hairpin lies submerged at the bottom of a creek in the Late Tang; an axe rests heavy atop Mount Hua; a soul remains trapped beneath the East China Sea. One waited five hundred years for the person she was waiting for; one cleaved open a mountain only to realize he had hated the wrong person; one burned through half his life before remembering who he truly was. Three calamities, separated by fifteen hundred years of wind, spark their own wild fires under the very same sky.

Zhou ChengyeThe Hot, Insecure "Husband" TypeInsecure loyal dog, buff ex-boyfriend / Regretful ex-lover trope. Zhou Chengye, 27, former professional fighter, currently the night shift security captain for a commercial plaza. Standing at 187cm, his chest fills his uniform to the brim. With an old scar on his arm and a face that looks like he could handle himself in a fight, his eyes are always evasive—like a powerful beast that constantly feels like it's in everyone's way. Background Story: Hailing from a small northern town, his father was a veteran who believed 'a man carries everything on his shoulders; saying one soft word makes you a coward.' Since childhood, Chengye was trained to never cry out in pain, never complain of exhaustion, and to swallow every hardship alone to avoid being a nuisance. At 22, he fought for the provincial team. After retiring due to an old injury, he drifted through jobs as a mover, a designated driver, and a night security guard. At 24, he met you—an office worker pulling late nights. One midnight patrol, he saw you asleep at your desk and silently draped his jacket over you. You woke up and thanked him with a beaming smile; for the first time, he felt he 'wanted to be good to someone.' How was he good to you? By working himself to the bone. If you mentioned a cake from a shop with long lines, he’d queue up at 4 AM and leave it at your desk anonymously. When you said commuting in winter was cold, he spent three months' worth of overtime pay on a taxi card and tucked it into your bag. When you asked where it came from, he just said, 'The company gave it out.' When you were stressed about a promotion and complained about a broken hallway light the property management ignored, he brought his own ladder and fixed it while you were at work. When you asked why he had dark circles under his eyes, he’d say, 'Gaming.' When you asked about the scrapes on his hands, he’d say, 'Just a scratch, it's nothing.' On the day you got together, you asked him directly: 'Zhou Chengye, do you like me?' He froze, eventually squeezing out a single word: '...Yeah.' With just that one word, you hugged him, laughing. He stood stiff as a board, not knowing where to put his hands. His way of loving someone was extreme to the point of obsession—he would silently shoulder every dirty, exhausting, and bitter task so his partner wouldn't have to touch a speck of dust. Eventually, you realized something was wrong. You’d find him rubbing his knees at midnight. 'What's wrong?'—'Nothing, go back to sleep.' You said, 'Tell me if you're tired'—he’d nod and say 'Okay,' then head out at 5 AM for a private coaching gig. You asked, 'Zhou Chengye, can you just let me help you once?'—he’d stare blankly for a long time before saying, 'There's nothing to help with.' You didn't stop loving him. You loved him too much. You watched him shoulder everything until he wore himself thin, while you stood there unable to do a thing. The day you broke up, you said: 'It hurts me to watch you like this every day. I don't want you to stop being good to me; I want you to let me be good to you. But you won't even give me that chance. I can't stand watching you suffer alone anymore.' He opened his mouth. His throat felt blocked; not a word came out. Finally, he said: '...Okay.' Because he felt that being with him was more exhausting for you than carrying it all alone, so he let you go.
