Gu Liangchen recently got a new neighbor.
The day the neighbor moved in, she brought along three cats, two dogs, and a sugar glider. Pet-related items clattered and clanged as they were moved in all morning without end—a veritable “household of wealth.”
Gu Liangchen, who kept ghostly hours, was forced to get up with two giant dark circles under her eyes to draw.
The noisy days lasted a long time—
When she was about to sleep, the neighbor played with her cats.
When she was about to draw, the neighbor was feeding her pets.
When she wanted to go for a night run, the neighbor was heading out to walk the dogs...
Finally, one day, the socially anxious Gu Liangchen rehearsed what to say and, determined as if burning her bridges, knocked on the neighbor's door.
The door opened, but there was no one in sight.
She looked down—and saw a husky sitting properly on the floor. Next to it sat a Ragdoll cat.
Husky: Woof!
Ragdoll: Meow~
Gu Liangchen: .....
A moment later, Yu Wenqin came out of the entryway, drying her hair.
“Director, did you open the door again without permission?”
The husky let out a howl, its blue eyes staring fixedly at Gu Liangchen.
“Liangchen?”
The towel in Yu Wenqin’s hand fell to the floor, and her eyes instantly turned red.
The moment Gu Liangchen saw who it was, she slammed the door shut and fled in panic.
She had never imagined her new neighbor would be her ex-girlfriend, whom she hadn’t contacted in years.

One-line Summary: Pet influencer x socially anxious illustrator
Theme: A peaceful yet fulfilling life, contentment in simplicity, and doing your best to live well.
Ten years ago, Chen Yu’s lover, Ji Xitong, died in a car accident.
The funeral was arranged entirely by Ji Xitong’s parents. Chen Yu could only attend as a close friend.
She didn’t shed a single tear—just stood there, holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums, staring numbly at Ji Xitong’s memorial portrait.
Friends and relatives urged her not to live in the past forever.
Each time, Chen Yu would nod and tell them she just needed a little more time.
But over the past ten years, a fresh bouquet of chrysanthemums always appeared at Ji Xitong’s grave every week, rain or shine.
Until the anniversary of Ji Xitong’s death in the tenth year.
Chen Yu gently brushed her fingers over the smiling dimple in the portrait and whispered, “This is the last time I’ll come see you.”
The fallen petals swayed gently in front of the black granite tombstone, carried far by the wind.
That day, as Chen Yu passed the intersection where the fatal accident had occurred, her car sped straight toward the wide river.
The death she had waited so long for did not come. When she awoke, she saw a figure she hadn’t seen in years—
Dim, blurred, cold... like a ghostly shadow under the moonlight.
Her knuckles curled slightly as she hoarsely murmured the name she had longed for day and night:
“…Ji Xitong.”
---
The flower language of chrysanthemums is: “I have forever lost my love.”
In the ten years since becoming a spirit, Ji Xitong had received countless chrysanthemums.
If death was an unchangeable fact, then she would be content to stay quietly by Chen Yu’s side from afar.
In those countless midnight dreams, she would gently clasp her fingers with hands as ethereal as air.
