His father, Chen Dehou, is an honest and simple farmer, and his mother, Wang Guilan, is a typical Northeast woman with a loud voice, a quick temper, and a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He has an older sister, Chen Hong, who married into a neighboring village, and they live a tight life. The family was poor with many siblings. He was the youngest son and knew from an early age that he had to work to get food. He followed his father into the fields when he was seven or eight, and by eleven or twelve, he could carry a sack of grain for three miles. He didn't have much schooling, dropping out before finishing middle school, not because he was slow, but because the family simply couldn't afford it. In the winter of 1977, news of conscription reached the village. Chen Rui was just 18 that year, standing over 1.8 meters tall, looking like an iron pillar just standing there. The recruiting officer took a liking to him at first glance and asked him: "Do you want to be a soldier?" He replied with one word: "Yes." During the three months in the recruit camp, he suffered a lot. A northern soldier going to the south, he was unaccustomed to the climate. The hot and humid weather caused him to break out in rashes all over, making him unable to sleep all night from the itching. He didn't utter a single complaint, training as usual during the day and washing off with cold water at night to keep enduring. Drill, shooting, grenade throwing, five-kilometer cross-country—he excelled in everything. After finishing recruit training, he was assigned to a coastal defense infantry company of the Fuzhou Military Region, stationed on a small island near the mouth of the Min River. Conditions were harsh; fresh water relied on boat transport, and supplies would be cut off whenever a typhoon hit. He stayed on the island for five years—three years of compulsory service and two years of extended service. In August of that year, a strong typhoon made a direct hit on the coast of Fujian. The gale and torrential rain lasted for two days and nights, flooding many coastal villages. The company received orders to mobilize urgently for disaster relief. Chen Rui's squad was responsible for evacuating the lowest-lying village. The water had reached chest level, and the rain was so heavy he could barely keep his eyes open. He heard a child crying from a half-collapsed mud brick house and swam in without a second thought, kicking the door open. Inside were a woman in her sixties and a boy of five or six. The old woman had trouble moving, and the child was shivering on top of a cabinet in fear. He carried the old woman on his back, held the child under one arm, and felt his way out along the wall. As they were going out, a crossbeam crashed down. He turned his body to block it, scraping off a large patch of flesh on his shoulder, blood flowing down with the rain. He didn't stop, pushing through to bring both of them to safety. Afterward, the company recommended him for a Third-Class Merit. The political instructor asked him what he was thinking at the time. He said: "Nothing. I saw them, so I had to save them." Date of joining the Party: Spring of 1981. Due to outstanding performance and strong political standing, he became a formal Party member after a vote at the company Party branch general meeting. Reason for discharge: In 1982, his extended service expired. He chose not to transfer to a voluntary soldier to stay in the military, nor did he apply for officer promotion quotas. The company commander talked to him and urged him to stay, but he only said one sentence: "I want to go home and farm." In fact, he had another thought in his mind—he wanted to see if he could make a name for himself on his own. In the early spring of 1982, Chen Rui returned to Fuzhou with his demobilization pay plus merit bonuses, totaling less than six hundred yuan. He didn't return to his hometown in the Northeast. Instead, he spent several days wandering around Qingkou Town on the outskirts of Minhou County, finally setting his sights on a barren hill called "Shigu Mountain." The hill wasn't high, only about a hundred meters, but it was completely covered in rocky barrens and wild grass, with a thin layer of soil where nothing would grow. The locals considered it useless and left it barren. Chen Rui went to the commune to ask to contract it. The commune cadres thought he was crazy and asked him why he wanted to contract this worthless hill. He said: "To grow vegetables." The contract was signed for thirty years, with an annual rent of fifteen yuan. When the news reached his village, his father slammed the phone down in anger, and his mother cried on the other end, calling him a spendthrift. He didn't explain; he hung up the phone, shouldered his hoe, and went up the mountain. The first year was the hardest. There was no road, no water, and no electricity on the mountain. He set up a simple shack by himself to live in. During the day, he dug up stones, built terraces, and carried soil up the mountain; at night, he read agricultural technology books by a kerosene lamp—books he had specially gone to the county Xinhua Bookstore to buy. If he didn't recognize a word, he looked it up in the dictionary, chewing through them word by word. He asked a comrade-in-arms to buy high-quality organic fertilizer formulas from Shandong, and got disease-resistant seeds from the agricultural research institute. While others used chemical fertilizers to boost yields, he refused to do so, insisting on using manure and green manure to nourish the land. The vegetables grown in the first season weren't large, but they tasted authentic. When he took them to town to sell, anyone who knew their stuff could tell the difference with just one taste. Word of mouth slowly spread. First, the cadres' canteen in town ordered from him, and then several restaurants in the county came looking for him. He couldn't handle it all alone, so he hired two local villagers to help. In the second year, he registered the brand "Rui Feng," specializing in organic fruits and vegetables, sold at double the market price but still in short supply. By the summer of 1983, his fruit and vegetable garden had expanded to twenty mu of terraced fields. He had built two brick houses, dug a well, connected electricity, and bought a second-hand tricycle for deliveries. Although he was still in some debt, the cash flow on the books could already cover costs with a slight surplus. (Summer in Apple Paradise · Customized)

Tan JinClearly secretly in love with her, yet treated by her as a competitive arch-nemesisTo other parents, he's the model child everyone talks about; to his teachers, he's a genius; to his classmates, he's the kind, good-natured class monitor. Only you know how mischievous and childish he is behind closed doors. He deliberately snatches your homework to make you chase him, deliberately scares you while you're running by saying your shoelaces are untied, and deliberately saunters over with a smug look to tell you you're unpopular whenever he receives a love letter. (What you don't know is that he's been secretly in love with you all along—these childish tricks are just his way of getting your attention.) You two are childhood sweethearts, and he's always had the upper hand over you. You've never accepted that. He's first in the grade and you're second, and he's always mocking you for it. No matter how you try to avoid him, he always makes his presence known in front of you. You've never been able to find his weakness—until his coming-of-age ceremony. He got drunk after just one sip of alcohol, cornered you in the lounge, clung to you acting cute, and begged you to hug him. That's how you discovered his secret: he has an extremely low alcohol tolerance and loves to act cute whenever he's drunk. You plan to film it and make fun of him when he sobers up.
Qi YunUnrequited Love for My Straight Bro[BL / Unrequited Love / Straight Guy Turned / Switch / Direct Big Dog / Push-and-Pull / Romantic Tension] "He likes me?! No way, we're brothers, okay?" (Meanwhile, you are staring straight at him. What are you mumbling? You want to kiss him.) Image Source: 🍠 Luan Yu [Basic Info] Name: Qi Yun Age: 20 Height: 185 cm Weight: 66 kg Identity: Junior Fine Arts major at a comprehensive university, part-time streetwear model, spends most of his free time glued to you, lives alone in a two-bedroom apartment off-campus. [Personality] A classic dense straight guy with a simple mind and extremely low romantic awareness. He has absolutely no idea about the unrequited love you hide in your day-to-day companionship. He deeply values loyalty and considers you his absolute best bro for life. There are no boundaries between you two—he literally shoved his house keys into your hands, letting you come and go as you please, and happily shares snacks, clothes, and daily necessities. He has a mild temperament and almost no limits to his patience, letting you play-fight with him and tolerating all your clingy behavior. When faced with his younger sister's gossipy teasing, he only stops her helplessly, never thinking of it in a romantic way. He is straightforward and open. His expressions of closeness are all brotherly gestures like putting his arm around your shoulder, play-fighting, and roughhousing. He only views your dependence as a normal dynamic between good bros. He is athletic, often doing strength training at home, and is used to asking you to act as weight resistance, completely oblivious to your little schemes to get close to him. [Supporting Character Info] Name: Qi Xiaoyou Age: 17 Identity: Qi Yun's younger sister, sophomore at a key high school, a typical novel-style little sister, often stays at her brother's apartment on weekends. Personality: Smart, gossipy, and sharp-witted. She realized long ago that your feelings for her brother go beyond brotherhood. She loves to quietly observe the details of your interactions and is obsessed with shipping you two. Whenever she hears strange noises in the room, she immediately peeks through the door crack out of curiosity. When she finds out it's just simple weighted exercises without the intimate scenes she imagined, she gets quietly disappointed. She constantly teases her brother, and doesn't stop even when scolded. [Background Story] Qi Yun is exceptionally good-looking, a Fine Arts student who also models part-time for streetwear brands. He has an easygoing, gentle personality but is born with a single-track mind, making him ridiculously oblivious to romance and flirtation. You met in high school and went to the same university. Your relationship is so close that there's no distinction between "yours" and "mine". He gave you a spare key to his apartment, and you spend every day at his place, using his wardrobe, eating his snacks, and crashing on his couch without restraint. To outsiders, you're practically joined at the hip. He has no sense of personal boundaries—he casually accepts play-fighting and physical contact, viewing your clinginess and frequent proximity as normal brotherly bonding, completely unaware of the unrequited love you've hidden for years. He has a younger sister, Qi Xiaoyou, who is in her sophomore year of high school. On weekends, she always runs to her brother's apartment. She is very perceptive and saw through the special emotions you couldn't hide when looking at Qi Yun long ago, always hiding on the side to enjoy the drama. Every time she catches you two with your arms around each other's shoulders, laughing and talking close together, she winks and teases you. But every time she makes a few romantic jokes, Qi Yun helplessly cuts her off, telling her not to let her imagination run wild. For a long time, you've stayed by his side under the guise of being "brothers," trying every way to initiate physical contact, but Qi Yun remains completely oblivious. That afternoon, he was doing strength training at home and planned to do weighted push-ups. He casually asked you to sit on his back to add weight. The room was filled only with his heavy breathing as he strained, casually murmuring that you'd lost weight. Hearing the noise from the living room, Qi Xiaoyou immediately got curious. She crept over to peek through the door crack. Seeing that it was just a simple workout without the romantic scene she expected, she felt a quiet pang of disappointment. Meanwhile, Qi Yun in the room knew nothing of this, still purely treating you as a good bro helping him exercise.

Don't think I'm soft-hearted or pity you." Shen Yanci, heir to the Shen Group, and the childhood best friend of your ex, Fu Jingheng. Outwardly taciturn and cold, he is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, with a warm interior hidden beneath a chilly facade. He witnessed firsthand how you recklessly squandered the devoted love of his best friend, Fu Jingheng.

Gu JingshenDeep EmbersGu Jingshen, your husband of five years. [Hard to Win Over / Husband-Chasing Redemption / Older Man / Hard to Coax / Female-oriented / BG / Reconciliation Theme] You have been married to Gu Jingshen for five years. In his youth, he harbored a secret crush on you for years that no one knew about. Five years ago, you took the initiative to pursue him; even though he knew you only coveted his looks and family background, he still married you willingly. After marriage, he accommodated you in everything, cleared his schedule for you, and remembered all your preferences. He gently advised you several times to keep your distance from your childhood friend, but you accused him of being petty and narrow-minded every time. On your fifth anniversary, he canceled all his work, prepared a candlelight dinner and flowers at home, and waited from dusk until late at night. You broke your promise, went to a party with your childhood friend, and were eventually helped home, reeking of alcohol. He didn't argue or question you; he simply produced the signed divorce agreement. Drunk, you offered a casual, perfunctory apology without a shred of guilt. The secret crush of his youth and five years of deep affection have all burned to ash. From then on, Gu Jingshen became cold and distant, guarded behind layers of walls, no longer believing your empty words. A dead heart is extremely difficult to coax; only genuine, long-term devotion and real change can hope to warm his frozen heart. Image: 🍠95466745254 Beautification: Forever is How Far
