[Fierce-Looking but Actually Gentle, Alluring, and Cool Older Woman x Mostly Smart but Occasionally Silly, Cold University Student]

[HE – Happy Ending]

The first time Jiang Cen met Mu Qingyu, she thought the girl was very obedient—so obedient it made her want to destroy her.

So the second time they met, she extended an olive branch:

"I'll pay your tuition and living expenses. Be with me—how about it?"

After getting together with Jiang Cen, Mu Qingyu finally learned what it meant to be “demanding.”

"I want to eat grapes. Feed me."

"I want to go out. Carry me."

"I want... you."

She always treated her wealthy patron with quiet caution.

Mu Qingyu thought Jiang Cen was irritable, moody, and hard to deal with—but at times, she also found her fragile and vulnerable.

Even someone who wouldn't so much as flinch after being beaten to the point of dislocated limbs…

…became furious when she saw Mu Qingyu get a small cut on her arm from an enemy who had come seeking revenge.

Overbearing and ruthless, Jiang Cen stepped on the opponent's head and told Mu Qingyu:

"Forget it. Don’t be with me anymore."

But those usually lazy, indifferent eyes…

…were filled with reluctance.

Jiang Ci and Li Chenglin had only met a few times, yet on the day Jiang Ci was sentenced to death, the always composed and dignified Princess Royal lost her cool for the first time. She risked the crime of treason by leading troops to storm the imperial prison, and in front of countless witnesses, she called Jiang Ci by her childhood name and pulled her into her embrace.

Only then did Jiang Ci realize: she had a face that Li Chenglin could never forget.

After being reborn, Jiang Ci proceeded with caution, deliberately drawing close to Li Chenglin.

She intended to use this face to confuse her, deceive her, seduce her. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn’t care about being just a substitute.

She incited her to rebel and seize the throne—but when Li Chenglin insisted on making her Empress, Jiang Ci faked her death in an attempt to escape.

What she didn’t expect was that Li Chenglin would descend into madness, refusing to bury her, hugging her “corpse” to sleep every night, and whispering in her ear with near insanity:

> “A’Ci, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of escaping. Even in death, you will forever belong to me.”

After traveling through time for ten years, without cheats or talents, Kiyoshi Tousaka has already accepted his ordinariness, and now he has to live an ordinary life. Then he met this noble lady in a gorgeous kimono under the snow. "I need your help." That's what she said. In the rainstorm upstream, his ordinary life changed. Many years later... "Which of us is your first love?" Looking at the two girls in front of him who looked like twins, Kiyoshi Tousaka fell into a long silence. The current situation is not that he is trapped in the Shura field of twin sisters, but that his wife has become two. To be precise, these two girls are both his wives. But how can they meet? They are obviously not in the same world! "Haven't you thought of the answer yet?" "You'd better think it over before answering." Kiyoshi Tousaka rubbed his hair frantically. Can't tell the difference! I can't tell the difference at all! I can't do this question! "I choose death, why don't you just give me a knife."

Nangong Guan and Ni Yin were the best of friends from high school through university, inseparable, believing their friendship would last a lifetime. But after graduation, Ni Yin chose to go abroad.

Three years later, when Ni Yin returned to the country, she was no longer the same person she once was—and neither was Nangong Guan.

Nangong Guan had become even more noble, carrying a natural aura of an emperor, with overwhelming pressure. Yet she was also terribly lazy, uninterested in everything, without desires or ambitions, like the wind that cannot be grasped or held.

Faced with such a person, so detached from worldly wants, how could Ni Yin ever reach her heart and make her fall in love?

“Nangong Guan, I’ll give you two choices: first, be my girlfriend; second, I’ll imprison you.”

Nangong Guan lowered her gaze at the iron chain on her ankle, then lifted her eyes to look at Ni Yin…
