Xi Mu

Song Yan had been in the industry for four years and was nicknamed "The Red Rose of the World"—stunning, brilliant, and cool.

After a scandal and a breakup, she announced her retirement with great fanfare and vanished from the public eye.

Her former collaborators spoke of her with disdain, "She only got famous through hype, with no real talent, all pretense, and nothing genuine."

Half a year later, at a banquet, the retired Song Yan made her first appearance and became the untouchable heir to the Song Family's hundred-billion fortune.

Those who had bad-mouthed her in the past were now sycophantic: "Miss Song is beautiful with great acting skills and strong capabilities. It's such a pity she retired! _(:3」∠❀)_"

After retirement, Song Yan was known as "The Fairy of the World"—naturally gorgeous and irresistible. There wasn't a man she couldn't charm.

The high-society ladies sniffed at this: "Gu Chenxiao of Yun City, so cold and heartless. Try flirting with him!"

Song Yan had her 'three nos'.

First, she wouldn't flirt with the ugly.

Second, she wouldn't flirt with those who liked her.

Third: ...ex-boyfriends, she wouldn't flirt!

Everyone racked their brains but couldn't understand how these three rules were related to Gu Chenxiao.

In Yun City, it was widely rumored: Gu Chenxiao's ex-girlfriend broke up with him just because he stepped into a room with his left foot first.

People dissed his ex-girlfriend for not knowing better, for acting out and dooming herself.

Late, when the romance between Gu Chenxiao and Song Yan became public, a romantic rival confronted her, sneering: "You're just a placeholder. His true love is his ex-girlfriend. When she returns, you'll be kicked to the curb!"

That very evening, Gu Chenxiao, who had returned from a business trip, saw Song Yan packing her luggage. Veins throbbed on his forehead as he ground his teeth: "Song Yan, this time I stepped in with my right foot first! Where do you think you're running off to now!"

From Limelight to Aristocracy: Stirring Waves

Song Yan sat on the bench outside the hospital, propping her chin with her hand and staring blankly at the ground out of sheer boredom. After a long while, she suddenly looked up and happened to catch sight of Gu Chenxiao rushing over in haste.


It was as if there was some psychic connection.


Gu Chenxiao had a stern face, his expression extremely gloomy.


Just as Song Yan was about to speak to him, he squatted down in front of her without a word.


After confirming that the only injury on her whole body was a minor one, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.


Dr. Chen told him she had a serious injury and refused treatment, so she had no choice but to inform him.


He was clutching his heart all the way here, his back soaked with sweat, only to find upon arrival that the wound indeed was severe and bleeding.


However, the information about her refusal of treatment was incorrect; she clearly refused treatment from Dr. Chen.
