Can you recommend a novel with many different short stories? I read a novel like this in 2005. One of them was about Ye Qiqi and Sang Shang.

I looked up Sang Shang's story on the Internet. It was called " Past Life, This Life ", but it was different from the one I read! He still remembered another story about a woman who had a tragic marriage because her mother was not good at cooking. She studied hard to cook, but in the end, she got a divorce. The man married a beautiful woman who could not cook. One day, he came back to look for her, and she cooked him an egg fried rice. The man helped the woman change the light bulb, and an old man next door complained that he would not come back to change the light bulb after leaving for so many years. He panicked and remembered that there was still a bowl of egg fried rice left in the fridge before he left home. The woman had died many years ago... Because I didn't finish reading it, I only remember these two stories. I don't know if they were made up by different authors or if they were written by the same person. Because it was the first romance novel I read, I missed it a little, but I can't remember.
