Until one day, Ming Yao finally developed a drug for her insomnia. At the banquet, she held a superstar’s arm with a bright smile, then threw divorce papers at Gu Siye.“Mr. Gu, the papers have been signed. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other!” Fourth Master Gu tore up the papers on the spot. He shoved her into a corner, his eyes sharp. “It’s fine if you want to leave, but return what you stole first!” “What did I steal?” “My heart!”Everyone ridiculed Ming Yao for being ignorant, incompetent, and frivolous. They waited for Fourth Master Gu to kick her out. Some media outlets boldly revealed that Ming Yao was dating the number one hacker in the world. The number one hacker: “Who spread such rumors? That’s my master!” Not long after, the media revealed that Ming Yao entered and left the same hotel as a luxury designer.

Frozen Hearts, Hidden Lies

Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

In plot - driven novels, the focus is on the sequence of events. The story unfolds through a series of actions, twists, and turns. For example, in a mystery novel, the plot might revolve around solving a crime. The characters are often there to move the plot forward. In character - driven novels, it's all about the characters. Their personalities, growth, and relationships are central. We get to know their inner thoughts and feelings deeply. For instance, in a coming - of - age story, we follow the character's personal development.

Plot - driven novels tend to be more action - oriented. They might have a lot of external conflict, such as a hero fighting against a villain. The plot twists keep the reader on the edge of their seat. On the other hand, character - driven novels are deeper in terms of exploring human nature. The characters' emotions and how they respond to situations are crucial. For instance, a character - driven novel might show how a person copes with loss or finds meaning in life, and the plot unfolds as a result of the character's journey.

Zhiyi wanted to stay away from him awkwardly, but she could not help but be attracted and want to get close to him. Yi Chuan deliberately created a character that Zhiyi liked the most, and knelt in front of Zhiyi to pray for love in a soft voice. Zhiyi felt that she could. Later on, the world fell into darkness, and all the things she liked disappeared. Zhiyi sensed that the person behind her was holding her in his arms.
