♫ When romance is too insignificant ♫

♫ But I can't stop missing you, like a bad cold ♫

♫ Drifting in a deserted island, where feelings have no reception ♫

♫ Have you been well? ♫

♫ Don't worry, I'll be fine ♫

♫ Don't worry, I can't get used to this lonely world ♫

♫ Hitting the pause button, leaving your side ♫

♫ Letting the memories migrate to that day of happiness ♫

♫ I'm trying hard to smile as I say goodbye to you ♫

♫ I recall and long for the happiness you want, I can make it happen ♫

♫ Can't hold back the tears, leading to regret ♫

♫ Losing you whom I love, heartbreak is inevitable ♫

♫ I choose to bid farewell with a smile ♫

[Recap]

Meeting you is the most miraculous thing that happened in my life.

This can't be. I haven't said "I love you" yet.

We haven't exchanged rings yet.

All this still hasn't ended.

This doesn't count! It can't!

So I'm back?

I didn't disappear. Then, what about Aoran?

I have to find Situ Aoran.

I'm awake, so he must be awake, too.

Where are you going?

Chuntian, am I still dreaming?

When I wake up from this dream,

I'll be able to see Aoran when I open my eyes.

I want to report a case.

The person who pushed the former CEO of Tianliang Group, He Tianxing,

off the building...

is the current chairman, He Tianjian.

Right now, where is the person who violated privacy laws?

If she really saw the truth of me falling off the building,

her safety will be compromised.

I finally found you.

- I finally found you. - Ms. Zheng.

Other than these three words,

is there nothing else you want to say to me?

I have a question I want to ask you.

Are you... afraid of the dark?

I... am not afraid of the dark.

As it turns out, you really aren't Situ Aoran.

My overbearing CEO has disappeared.

I will never be able to find him again.

[Lost Romance]

[Chapter Sixteen]

What are you doing?

I'm sleeping over at your house.

I'm fine.

I'm not fine.

Situ Aoran messed with me.

You dreamt about Situ Aoran too?

I crashed into Situ Aoran!

Do you know what happened between me and Author Meng today?

And that's why Author Meng gave me a harsh scolding.

Wouldn't you say I was treated unfairly?

Why would I edit the contents for no reason?

And to purposely change it to Zheng Xiao'en at that.

If I were to change it, wouldn't it be to Lin Chuntian?

What's wrong?

The Zheng Xiao'en in the book... is me.

What?

This plot really happened to me after I entered the story.

The Zheng Xiao'en in the book isn't someone else.

It's me.

Do you remember the first person I wanted to see when I woke up?

Zheng Xiao'en, what are you doing?

I have to find Situ Aoran.

Situ Aoran? Isn't that a character in a novel?

Do you have to be that dedicated to your work?

You mean that during the three months you were in a coma,

you went into the world of the story, "CEO, You're So Naughty"?

He Tianxing. I have to find He Tianxing.

I'm awake, so he must be awake, too.

What are you saying?

And with your physical condition like this,

why are you looking for He Tianxing?

Don't tell me that Situ Aoran from "CEO, You're So Naughty"

is He Tianxing in real life?

I used to think so.

But He Tianxing doesn't remember anything.

No kidding.

How can a novel be the same as reality?

Then, how do you explain this book?

Okay, tell me.

The morning that Chuchu and Situ Aoran went to the hot spring,

what did you guys eat for breakfast?

Canned pickled cucumbers, canned tuna,

canned eel, and canned peaches.

Then, how much did it cost to stay one night in a deluxe

mountain view suite at the hot spring resort?

NT$50,000 (~US$1,700).

That night when the power went out

and you fell asleep next to Situ Aoran's bed,

who covered you with a blanket?

I don't know.

Who else could it be? It was Situ Aoran.

It was him?

It was really him?

So it was actually real?

It's real.

Chuntian, I need you to believe me.

I really need someone to believe me.

Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm going crazy.

I believe you.

Didn't I say that I believe you?

Why are you still crying?

I thought I just had a very long dream,

and no one would remember the me in the dream.

But this book shows me

that my relationship really existed

in a parallel universe.

That there was a person who was so good to me.

The way my heart beat wasn't fake.

I can't believe you actually went into the book.

How could this happen?

That's too extreme. And you didn't take me.

When I first went into the book, I was scared to death, okay?

Yeah, right. It looks to me like you had a great time.

See? As soon as you entered,

you immediately started strategizing on how to get the CEO.

You even peeked at him while he was showering?!

You totally ruined the image of respectable women.

Goodness! I wasn't reading this attentively until now.

So your lip bled before because

you tried to stop Chuchu and the CEO's relationship progress.

And you ended up kissing Chuchu?

Don't remind me.

No wonder your head bled that time.

It was also because of Chuchu?

Hey. Is Aoran the male lead or are you?

Aiyo, don't talk about it anymore.

Also, that one time I opened the bathroom stall and saw you,

I thought I was hallucinating,

but you were actually locked in there.

Who locked me in there?

Chuchu.

It wasn't Female Coworker #16 or #17?

It was Chuchu.

Tender and harmless character types can't stand being tested.

When the male lead gives her attention, she's a good person.

But once things don't go her way, her character starts breaking down.

As the author's female lead,

she probably couldn't face the sudden change.

Then, what are you going to do now?

What do you mean?

Chief Editor Yao won't let me come back to work at the publishing company?

No, He Tianxing. I'm talking about He Tianxing.

You're just going to give up?

What else can I do but give up?

I'll just treat it as a dream.

My Aoran will be paused forever at that wedding in the book.

Good night.

Ultimately, it's all Author Meng's fault.

Everything she writes ends with a wedding.

Ending with a wedding is the most irresponsible kind of ending.

Yeah! There are many other kinds of endings to write.

Yeah, like going on a honeymoon!

Publicly displaying affection after the wedding.

Popping out a few kiddos who keep running around!

Starting a business together.

Going through life's hardships together.

To make it more of a Mary Sue character,

there could even be a third, fourth, or fifth male character written in.

She should've written at least 100,000 words.

She could've written it as a long epic story.

She should learn from Master Jin Yong. (Author of "The Condor Heroes" trilogy)

Right!

Let's go get Author Dong Fangmeng to write a sequel!

Huh?

After "The Legend," there was "The Return."

Then, there was "The Heaven Sword." (*"The Condor Heroes" trilogy)

But I already came back.

Would it work?

No matter what happens, we have to try.

It's better than doing nothing, right?

Get out!

What do you mean, sequel?

Are you complaining that the book sales weren't poor enough,

or that we didn't receive enough objection phone calls?

Author, don't say that!

You should rise from wherever you have fallen.

Let's face failure together. We can fly against the wind.

Not flying!

Forget it.

We should wait for her anger to subside before coming again.

Besides, you already had a happy ending in the novel.

The most beautiful things happen in a dream.

Happy ending?

Hey, have you ever read a novel about a guy who embarks on an adventure

to save his missing childhood sweetheart?

Super Mario?

No.

The male lead in the novel is called Chen Qing.

The story took place towards the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It's a story that's mostly for guys.

Searching far and wide, going through hell and high water,

being fancied by millions of girls,

but he only cares deeply about his first love.

The type of story where he becomes a hero in the end.

This type of novel is not our publishing company's style.

Have you seen or heard of it?

No. I haven't seen it or heard of it.

Tianxing, Zheng Xiao'en disappeared.

I have no idea what she's thinking.

We told her to stay here to protect her.

Who does she think she is?

Does she think being rescued on a random street just happens?

I don't think she thought that way.

You're taking her side?

Just judging by the matter.

She's not obligated to work with us.

Have Jason spend some of his time looking out for her.

Understood.

These are some of our company's latest investment projects.

Chairman, please review.

Uncle Hu, I already looked into it with my lawyers.

Currently, the police only has Zheng Xiao'en's witness statement.

And whether her statement can be used as evidence or not

is a problem in and of itself.

With regards to all the other evidence that we should be worried about,

my sister has already completely destroyed it all.

When the police come to me,

they won't be able to do anything to me if I deny everything.

Are you sure He Mingli destroyed all the evidence?

You find this absurd?

There's something even more absurd.

He Tianjian is the chairman right now.

Dad passed away.

When did he pass away?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

You don't have to look at me like that.

When Dad died, I didn't get to see him for the last time either.

At least in this regard,

we finally enjoyed fair treatment for once.

Fair? He Mingli.

Don't you think that's laughable coming from you?

From the beginning,

you've never been fair towards me.

He Mingli, what are you doing? Give me back my bag.

Are you ready?

Sis, do we really have to do this?

It was just Dad's birthday party.

Auntie, bad news! Tianxing fell in the river just now!

It was just that my mom and I were invited.

Auntie, over here. Hurry!

What gave you guys the right to

Tianxing!

take advantage of a mother's selfless love

and separate us forever? Mom! Mom! Wake up!

Don't die, Mom!

Mom!

I'll never forget the look on your face that day.

I know.

You've just been waiting for an opportunity,

even though that was an accident.

You caused my mom's death.

I don't care whether you admit it or not.

I don't care if there's proof or not.

I don't care whether it was an accident or not.

I know that you caused my mom's death.

Don't you have anything else to say?

It's been so many years.

Don't you feel any guilt?

Do you sleep well at night?

You're still the same.

You only think about how you've been wronged.

What about me?

What did your mom do to us?

Don't you know?

Where's Mom?

Mom, open the door!

Mom!

Mom, wake up!

My dad didn't come back that day.

Even though my mom tried to commit suicide,

he still didn't come back.

They promised to come see my performance that day.

But because my mom found out my dad was having an affair with his assistant

and was pregnant with you,

they broke their promise.

From that moment on,

I no longer had a happy, blissful family.

Your mom destroyed my family.

God wanted her to pay the price for it! Is there anything wrong with that?

She only got what she deserved. It was retribution.

Retribution!

It's exactly the same.

It's the same look as back then.

He Tianxing,

I know you'll never forgive me.

I'm the same.

I will never forgive you and your mother.

Dad is gone.

I'm very sad.

But my sadness is different from yours.

You lost a supporter,

a loving father.

But I'm different.

My regret is

that he left just like that.

He didn't even get a chance to tell me he was sorry.

He Mingli!

Don't be so harsh.

Even though this is the kind of person you are,

Dad never loved you less.

Loved me?

Loved me so much that he forgot I existed?

Loved me so much that my name wasn't even on his will?

You're really just like Dad said.

Your personality ruined your life.

No matter if it is good or bad,

your bad temper will always destroy everything.

And it's the most rotten kind of destruction,

the kind without any chance of turning back.

Okay.

I don't think we'll ever meet again.

He Mingli!

Doctor, Doctor!

Where did He Mingli go?

A family member came to take care of her discharge.

What family member?

I'm her family!

Besides me, who else is He Mingli's family?

Could it be He Tianxing?

Who took her away?

Xu Qiongmei.

Who?

Why would my mom take her away?

This is my friend's villa.

It's far from the city.

No one will disturb you.

Just get a good rest here.

Don't think about anything else.

I don't think we'll ever meet again.

- Mingli. - Mom.

This is the memorandum of Dad's will.

Take a look yourself.

Don't think about any unhappy things.

Did you know? If Tianxing hadn't revealed the memorandum of the will,

I wouldn't have known that your father left a large sum of money for you.

Your father knew your personality

and was afraid you'd spend the money recklessly,

so after he put the money in a trust,

he appointed Tianxing as the manager of that trust.

Tianxing told me a lot of things.

He said your father often talked to him about you.

Of his three kids, he worried the most about you

because you're too impulsive and therefore easy to swindle.

So he wanted Tianxing to look after you.

Who's the insider and who's the outsider?

Aren't you all my children with my last name?

Why are you differentiating insiders and outsiders?

I'm still alive,

and you're splitting my family right in front of me?

Then, should I just die now?

We'll do as Tianxing said regarding this matter.

No more nonsense.

Tianxing. Tianxing.

Whenever he talks, it's always about Tianxing.

He's the son of that woman.

Or am I the only who ever cared about that?

That's all in the past.

Your father has already passed away.

What good does it do to stay angry?

So I'm the only one who cared about this family.

All these years, whom have I been rebelling for?

And I never would have thought

that the first one to come and visit me at the psychiatric hospital

would be my biggest enemy in life.

The one who locked me up in the psychiatric hospital

was my closest family.

Mom, did you know?

I was really afraid in there.

I was afraid I'd gone mad for real.

I was afraid I'd never get out again.

Every day...

Every day, I was waiting for you to come and rescue me.

But you never came, not even once.

I wanted to visit you.

But you didn't come, not even once.

I-It was Tianjian who told me I should let you rest.

You didn't come to see me, not even once.

I was afraid you weren't mentally stable.

You didn't come to see me, not even once.

Mom, I just want to know

if it weren't for this sum of inheritance that Tianxing revealed,

would you have come see me?

What are you saying?

The current chairman of the company is Tianjian.

Why would I covet your inheritance money?

Your personality is very annoying.

It makes one think it isn't worth being nice to you.

Enough. I won't disturb you any longer.

You take good care of yourself.

[Ruge Publishing]

This one! This male lead is named Chen Qing.

And the female lead?

Lin Enfei.

That's not it.

The female lead is supposed to be named Liu Mushuang.

The background is wrong.

There's nothing at all.

We don't know the author, publisher, or when it was published.

We only know the basic plot.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Please keep looking.

The story is almost completely written.

There's no way no trace was left behind.

Isn't he just a fictional character?

Is this necessary?

It's necessary.

In that world, he was like another you.

When I needed help, he was there.

When I was at a loss, he was also there.

If I knew you were constantly wandering around and drifting about,

I would feel uneasy every day.

Okay. He was indeed very sincere towards you.

Of course. He was my best friend in the book.

What friend! He liked you!

Look, he said, "It's because of you." Okay?

How is that possible?

Look, he said, "It's because of you." Okay?

Is it because you want someone to accompany you,

or is it because of me?

It's because of you.

It's just that this answer no longer has any meaning.

At least I tried my best for once.

I don't regret falling in love with an alien.

How is that possible?

Oh my god, I'm so slow.

I'm so hurtful.

If you knew when you were in the book,

would that have changed your decision?

Feelings are just this way.

Come on.

Let's give him a good ending.

We have to. Even if I'm not happy,

Qingfeng has to be happy.

Perfect men really only exist in novels.

In real life, you can't find one.

Xiao'en, are you feeling better?

Thank you, Chief Editor.

- I'm doing alright. - That's great.

A get well gift.

Thank you.

Since you're feeling better, do you have any new ideas?

You can bring them up.

- What? - What do you mean "what"?

For three months, you've probably slept enough.

It's about time to contribute to the company.

Because of "CEO, You're So Naughty",

our publishing company suffered big losses.

Do you two know that?

You're still not thinking about how to increase sales?

I'm giving you five minutes to come up with new ideas.

Our mighty editor is so right.

Actually, romance novels have reached a bottleneck.

We should really walk along a new path.

Very good. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up.

- Let's open up the male market. - Rejected.

Didn't you say you wanted a new direction?

I meant a new direction for satisfying women's fantasies!

Doesn't the publishing house next door have some priest or pastor series?

Could you bring out your creativity and find something?

A monk series?

Who are you going to find to write it? A temple attendant? A shaman?

Please! Come up with something useful, okay?

I don't care. Find a topic that will really sell.

Otherwise, if the next book also incurs a loss,

then I'll deduct printing expenses from your salary.

Good luck. Excuse me.

Good luck.

Chief Editor Yao is so blind.

He only knows to tell us to find a new direction.

After thinking of a bunch, he only changed the broth and not the medicine.

He only wants to go the conservative route.

Watch. The sales will conservatively fall.

Zheng Xiao'en.

That's not right. I must have seen Qingfeng somewhere before.

- I need to find him. - No, wait.

There are so many people here.

Where are you going to go to find Qingfeng?

The bookstore. I want to confirm which books he's wandering in.

How are you going to confirm it? Zheng Xiao'en!

Today's physical therapy ends here.

I looked into Tianliang Group's current situation.

It's like you guessed.

After Tianliang Hospitality was acquired,

under Hu Chaoqin's leadership,

Tianliang Construction, Tianliang Textile,

Tianliang Digital, and Tianliang Transportation

were used to continue investments in various

venture capital companies registered in the Cayman Islands.

What about the earnings?

They're all long-term investments.

On the financial report, it doesn't look problematic.

Just because there are no problems right now

doesn't mean there won't be problems in the future.

I'm afraid that Tianliang will eventually be hollowed out by Uncle Hu.

But... the problem is that all of this is lawful,

whether you look at it from a financial standpoint or from a legal standpoint.

If his plan really is to empty it out, what should we do?

It's not that we don't have a way,

but if we only depend on ourselves,

I'm afraid that we won't be able to stop him.

I don't think He Mingli will want to work with us.

Shanna.

What I asked Jason to do... how is that going?

I don't understand why you care so much about the peeper.

Jason said he didn't see anything abnormal,

but one thing is pretty weird.

During the three months you were in a coma,

Zheng Xiao'en was also in a coma for unknown reasons.

Also for three months?

Look! There's a Qing.

This Wei Qing is an old confused man

who keeps getting in the way of the male and female leads' romance.

No. This isn't it.

Li Hanqing.

At the end, he couldn't get over it

and hung himself.

No, no, absolutely not.

Committing suicide at such a young age?

Our Supreme Master would never commit suicide.

Now we're getting somewhere. Xu Qingqing.

This name...

how come I have a bad premonition?

That's right. This one is about a famous courtesan from a brothel.

The kind where you sell both your art and body.

Her first time was when she was twelve.

It was even up for public bidding at the hundred-flower tower?

How could the author write something like this?

Don't be angry.

I'm not angry.

I'm worried.

My Supreme Master...

Is he okay?

Zheng Xiao'en, don't scare yourself.

Qingfeng's ending is definitely not the tragic kind.

It won't be.

It doesn't matter which book he appears in. It wouldn't happen.

Don't worry. You just came back.

Maybe the author hasn't even finished setting up the characters yet.

You don't have any more eggs.

And laundry soap.

Can we give him a better character?

Then, he can be the male lead character.

That's not right.

According to what you said before,

he probably hasn't been the male lead before.

It smells so good.

This is a scent that Aoran likes.

Zheng Xiao'en, what are you doing?

Are you buying all these to take a bath in them?

This is the scent from my memory.

You bought so much. Are you trying to drink them?

Why do you care?

When did your neighborhood turn into a luxury residential area?

What do you mean?

Should I be registering for witness protection?

Slowly move in the three o'clock direction.

Zheng Xiao'en.

Zheng Xiao'en?

♫ I lost to you ♫

Zheng Xiao'en.

Zheng Xiao'en?

That hurt.

There's not much time left.

If you can...

I can, I can.

Can you stop staring at me?

I'm sorry.

For what?

For staring at you,

and for watching you before.

You mean spying on him, right?

That's right.

It's spy—

I'm sorry.

Before, I wasn't able to make a formal apology.

I'm sorry.

Knowing that someone kept on...

observing me

is not a good feeling indeed.

But there's something I'm curious about.

Why were you watching me?

Because you encouraged me.

Setbacks. Everyone encounters various setbacks daily.

Including myself, of course.

And... maybe I encounter them more than others do.

Then, how do you face setbacks?

In a storm, you have to be like an adult.

In beautiful weather, you have to be like a child.

As a corporate slave and an insignificant loser,

I face 9,999 ruthless setbacks in life every day.

Your existence is like an oasis in the desert

and a small comfort in a hard and bitter life.

From under the shower head, stealing—

The shower head?

(Note: In episode 4, she said the sight of him)

(was "a little bit of happiness stolen from the shower head.")

What I mean is, in addition to your life and your work being very inspiring,

your existence in itself is a type of encouragement.

- Because you— - Are handsome!

So that gives you the right to spy on the CEO for so long? Is that it?

That's not it. It really was a coincidence.

It's just that we are frequently scolded by the chief editor.

And since we were scolded, we needed a place to escape to.

- So we went up to the rooftop. - Played with the drone.

And accidentally discovered the handsome guy in the building next door.

And then accidentally discovered that the handsome guy

was the CEO on the magazine.

A small soul gained large comfort.

Don't laugh. Do you think looking like that is easy?

Everything has a purpose for its existence.

Just like how your appearance can comfort others,

our publishing house's novels

can light up the hearts of thousands of young girls.

Even though we can't choose how we were born and raised,

we can at least dream.

Weirdo.

Don't worry.

Everything's fine.

Weirdo.

Let's go.

- Then, I'll also— - Did I do something wrong that day?

Which day?

The day you were attacked because of your police report.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Are you... afraid of the dark?

I... am not afraid of the dark.

I'm sorry, I was mistaken. Good night.

No. Why would you think that?

Because I could sense that you didn't like my answer.

No.

You keep looking at me with a can't-bear-to-let-you-go expression

as though I've let you down.

We...

What do you mean can't bear to let go?

It was probably more like can't really express it,

like I can't get the words out.

Just like...

My stomach really hurts. Why isn't the car here yet?

This kind of expression.

Then, why did you suddenly leave that day?

Is it very important to know whether I'm afraid of the dark?

Or... does this question have a special meaning?

It has no meaning. Not to you.

You witnessed me falling off the building,

but you didn't call the police immediately after.

So why did you suddenly report it to the police now?

I didn't dare to before.

I'm really just an ordinary corporate slave

and an insignificant loser.

The type that people on the streets see and don't remember.

A dime a dozen.

It's natural that my boss scolds me.

If I express that I find it humiliating,

it'll cause my boss to be embarrassed.

This version of me has only pursued one thing in my life.

What is it?

To live peacefully, one day at a time.

In any case, I'm not anyone special.

Even if I said I witnessed it,

people might not believe me.

Even if someone believed me, who will that affect?

The evidence must be long gone.

If that's the case, why did you still walk into the police station?

Because several things happened recently,

which made me realize that even if I look like I'm nothing special,

as long as I do my best,

I can also have the opportunity to encounter a miracle.

Several things happened recently?

Weren't you unconscious for three months?

It's because I was unconscious for three months

and was still able to wake up. It's practically a miracle.

I've encountered life's surprises and miracles.

If there's anything you want to do, then quickly do it.

Thanks to you,

I recall that I have a new manuscript that I still haven't edited.

I have to go.

Thank you for your concern. All the best to you too.

See you again, if it's meant to be.

Have a smooth rehabilitation. You definitely won't have any problems.

CEO.

Go buy all of the books that Zheng Xiao'en has handled.

Okay.

♫ I lost to you ♫

♫ I think of you until I can no longer breathe ♫

♫ My last wish is to never regret ♫

♫ Brave out the heartbreak to no longer be afraid of heartbreaks ♫

♫ I choose to bid farewell with a smile ♫

What do you think?

I specially gave you space.

Did you tell him everything?

Tell him what?

The extraordinary story of you and He Tianxing.

How you entered the novel because of him

and how you both fell in love.

Entering the novel was an accident.

But the falling in love part was real, right? How did it go?

I didn't tell him.

Why?

That was such a good opportunity.

He even came to look for you of his own accord.

Because... even falling in love was fake.

How could that be?

Surely I can't tell him,

"Hello, Mr. He."

"Even though I'm calling you Mr. He, you actually love me very much."

"You've gone through hell and high water for me and even proposed to me."

"You'd say a bunch of pickup lines to me every day."

Hello, is this the emergency hotline?

There's a crazy woman here.

She said that Andy Lau is her dad and He Tianxing is her husband.

Come here quickly and take her away.

I would rather he didn't exist at all in the real world.

It's okay. It's okay. You can just win him over again.

Stop messing around.

How am I messing around?

You managed to win him over once.

Why can't you win him over for the second time?

In the novel, I dared to say those shameless things because it was a novel.

But in reality, before I can even get close to him,

I'm already pulled away by the security guards.

Now, the only thing I can do...

What is it?

Give myself a dignified exit.

[CEO's Sweetheart Electrician]

These are...

The CEO asked me to buy these books from Ruge Publishing.

They were edited by Miss Zheng.

"CEO's Sweetheart Electrician"?

This cover is quite cute.

Do you guys know what these are?

They're chick-lit romances.

What's that?

They're stories specifically about the love between a man and a woman.

Oh, love stories, like Romeo and Juliet?

It's similar, but they're not simply love stories.

They're love stories that are designed to satisfy the female fantasy.

I understand. They're like wuxia novels. (*A popular martial arts chivalry genre)

For example, the male lead has to serendipitously pick up

a book of martial arts secrets.

And then, the female lead has to be super gorgeous.

And then, before he becomes the leader of the martial arts circle,

he must undergo all sorts of trials and tribulations, right?

Right, just like that.

They're basically wuxia novels for girls.

The male and female leads must have a special encounter.

The male lead is a man who wields power and influence.

The two will definitely experience ups and downs in their relationship.

You know this so well. Do you read them often?

No.

I'm just curious, why did you ask Jason to buy these books?

I would like to understand Zheng Xiao'en better.

[CEO, You're So Naughty]

You used to not do unnecessary things like this.

Maybe it's because I've narrowly escaped death

that I suddenly got an epiphany.

What epiphany?

Life doesn't necessarily need to move forward in a straight line.

There's nothing wrong with occasionally diverting your attention

and looking to your left and right.

Zheng Xiao'en is the person I'm interested in right now.

♫ See you around, will you miss me? ♫

♫ Don't miss home too much when it's time to party ♫

♫ And I'm leaving home ♫

♫ Don't think it's where I belong ♫

♫ I say goodbye in place of gratitude ♫

♫ You impose in place of a farewell ♫

♫ Walking on this unfamiliar street ♫

♫ I really want to make a phone call ♫

♫ A number with no one to answer ♫

Is it scary?

♫ Oh, the stars that break through the night, time after time ♫

♫ Gave up on sensibility ♫

♫ Nothing but a broken heart ♫

♫ Please talk to me ♫

♫ I would put a smile through your tears ♫

♫ Let me kiss goodbye on your cheeks, yeah ♫

♫ And go on and on ♫

♫ I would put a smile through your tears ♫

♫ Let me kiss goodbye on your cheeks, yeah ♫

♫ And go on and on and on ♫

♫ Who wants such a heroic story? ♫

[CEO's Waiting for Your Love Tonight] [CEO, You're So Naughty]

♫ Witnessing a departure with a sacrifice ♫

♫ The sea is as deep as the blue sky ♫

♫ A shame the blue sky can't hear the sea ♫

[CEO on Top, Me on the Bottom]

♫ My love for you is destined to leave behind regret as a keepsake ♫

Are the top and bottom not referring to their work positions?

♫ I'm not being roundabout with my silence ♫

♫ I'm preparing for the tragic ending ♫

♫ I want to love, even if it means loving until losing everything ♫

♫ Sink or swim, turning into bubbles ♫

♫ Still no regrets ♫

♫ Meeting just to separate ♫

♫ Embracing just to let go ♫

♫ Smiling can cancel out a little sadness ♫

A kiss is a kiss. Why does he have to hold her by the waist

and push her up against the wall while kissing her?

Also, why is he constantly flashing an evil smile?

A smile that's kuáng... juān?

♫ Bravely love ♫

This word is read as juàn instead of juān (tonal difference).

Kuáng refers to being extreme.

Juàn refers to being reserved.

So is a smile that's kuángjuàn extreme or reserved?

It's so hard to understand.

This book is very profound.

So waking up to a kiss in the morning is supposed to be sweet.

Shouldn't they brush their teeth first?

Did they really not brush their teeth?

Everything has a purpose for its existence.

Just like how your appearance can comfort others,

our publishing house's novels

can light up the hearts of thousands of young girls.

Cheetah?

[CEO's Waiting for Your Love Tonight] [CEO, You're So Naughty]

[CEO, Don't Stop] [CEO, You're So Naughty]

- Mom. - You're up?

Let me help you.

My son is so thoughtful.

Here.

- Mom, you're the one who took Sis out? - Yes.

Didn't I already tell you that she'd come back once she's better?

Why were you in such a hurry?

Are you blaming me for bringing Mingli back?

What's with both of you blaming me?

It was wrong to bring her back, and it was wrong to not bring her back.

You're both mistaking my goodwill for ill intent.

Why don't you think about all the times you messed around in the past?

In front your dad, I—

Okay, okay, okay. That's not what I meant.

What I meant was just that Sis hasn't recovered yet.

Why do you have to insist on bringing her out now?

That's why there has to be a man in the household.

Only you would have her best interests at heart.

She even misunderstands that we don't care about her.

Young Master, someone's looking for you.

I'm from the police station's criminal investigation team.

May I ask if you're Mr. He Tianjian?

Please take a good look at this witness statement.

My client is tired.

Mr. He, you better get the situation straight.

Someone came forward to testify against you.

Do you have any evidence?

That's why I've invited you here to take a good look at the statement

so that you can clarify the situation for yourself.

[Taichung City Government Police Department]

What are you doing here?

Because the surveillance footage was lost,

everyone who was on the rooftop that day

is required to come assist with the investigation.

That's what the police said.

Then, what do you plan to tell the police?

I plan to cooperate with the investigation

and respond honestly.

He Mingli!

[Preview]

You're so irresponsible!

What did Chen Qing from the book do wrong?

Can't you finish writing and give him a proper ending?

Our publishing house

sincerely wants to publish an autobiography of yours.

I guarantee that we can present the real you.

Isn't Zheng Xiao'en just a stranger to you?

Why do you have to particularly look after her?

This is the lantern you lit?

Zheng Xiao'en... [He Tianxing]

Who are you exactly?

Why do you keep appearing before my eyes?

"Lose to You" by Marcus Chang

♫ Memories wear protective coloration ♫

♫ Ambushing in the middle of the night ♫

♫ A quiet strike ♫

♫ Streetlights awaiting dusk ♫

♫ Still awaiting as always ♫

♫ Nothing is impossible ♫

♫ Even if no one is perfect ♫

♫ Holding you next to my heartbeat ♫

♫ Tightly held the palm of my hand ♫

♫ It remains the only farewell ♫

♫ If I could see you again ♫

♫ Carefully planning my gamble with you ♫

♫ In the end, I lost to you ♫

♫ I think of you until I can no longer breathe ♫

♫ If you were a painter ♫

♫ Then I'll be your canvas ♫

♫ No regrets ♫

♫ I lost all my love to you ♫
