Synopsis

All she wanted was to convince Qin Zhan, a well-known patisserie, to join her in her new restaurant. But, everyone who she had sent returned with bad news: Rejected! Rumor has it that Qin Zhan quit life as a reputable chef to stay in the small town and run a small noodle stand. No matter how much anyone offered to hire him, Qin Zhan had rejected every one. No! That man would not even hear a word before he showed everyone to the door. Since everyone she sent returned with no good result, Gu Xin Ye had no other choice but to do everything herself! Just as Gu Xin Ye thought that she will be able to convince Qin Zhan with her persuasion skill and charm, a misunderstanding led her to work for Qin Zhan instead, as his helper! ----- Illustration: kirinlukis ----- Shared universe with: 1.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

In 'The Gift of the Magi', the couple sacrifices their most precious possessions out of love. Della cuts her hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch, and Jim sells his watch to buy combs for Della's hair. In contrast, in 'The Necklace', Mathilde loses a borrowed necklace and spends years in poverty trying to replace it. The main similarity is that both stories revolve around the value of possessions. However, 'The Gift of the Magi' has a more positive and selfless theme about love, while 'The Necklace' is more about the consequences of vanity and pride.

One of the main themes is the idea of appearance vs. reality. In 'The Necklace', Madame Loisel is so concerned with appearing wealthy that she borrows a necklace to fit in at a high - society event, only to find out later the high cost of that pretense. Another theme could be the role of social class and how it affects people's lives and self - esteem.

After hugging someone's thigh, I went crazy in the survival variety show

[Shuang Jie, 1v1, Redemption, Giant Pet] Yun Xianghuan, the pitiful little girl who had been disfigured by the fate of being taken away by the book and the daughter. In order to defy the heavens and change his fate, he had staked everything on participating in a wilderness live broadcast variety show with the lowest survival rate in the world. She had thin arms and legs, and her chin was thin. One look and one could tell that she was malnourished and weak. Everyone unanimously thought that Yun Xianghuan was a cannon fodder who had eaten a box lunch on the first day. Even Yun Xianghuan felt the same way. However…banana leaves, bamboos, hatchets, fat fish…When these urgently needed supplies suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xianghuan, the atmosphere gradually became strange. Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Could it be that she had magic that could grant her wishes? Until one day, Yun Xianghuan suddenly bumped into a big black panther with wings, carefully placing a bunch of grapes in front of her house… Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Ah…Help! She…she seemed to be pampered by the Beast Deity! As time passed, Yun Xianghuan developed a strong affection for the big black panther. Yun Xianghuan pinched the little meat on her stomach and looked at her fair and chubby self. Not only was she not happy, but she was also crying her heart out. This was because the Leopard Lord's gaze on her had become more and more strange recently… As expected, she knew that the big black panther would not treat her well for no reason. It must have treated her as storage food. Now that she was well, she would definitely be eaten. Yun Xianghuan gritted her teeth and reached out her hand." You…you can eat me now!" Wuwuwu…" When a certain leopard heard this, he immediately transformed into a living person. He pulled his tie and approached. His eyes were filled with smiles. "QAQ!"
