Don't interfere in the couple's affairs. Let them decide how many children they want. It's important to be well-matched. If things don't work out, they can break up or divorce."But after the show ended, Yu Wanqiu's answer was a complete reversal: "It's best to live in the same building as Jiang Lan, doing yoga together morning and night. As for children, it's better not to have them too early—it could affect my relationship with Jiang Lan. If they divorce, I fully support it. I know plenty of young idols, and if Jiang Lan prefers the mature type, that's fine too."Content Warning: Highlight—the male and female leads are not perfect characters. This is a sweet romantic story featuring first loves for both. They will argue, bicker, fall in love, and take some detours along the way. If this bothers you, please skip. No unsolicited criticism allowed. The focus is on the relationship between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, with the romantic relationship between the male and female leads as a secondary plot.

She’s a Passerby, But Can See the Protagonist’s Halo

NovelFire My name is Yan, and since I was a child, I've been able to see some strange things.For example—In elementary school, our new neighbor Aunt Tan had a pair of all-around genius twins, who were like the "precious little geniuses" with halos above their heads. They could recite the English-Chinese dictionary backwards at three, master both Chinese and Western musical instruments by five, and hack into a country's database by seven...Growing up next to such prodigies, my life was inhumane, tragic, and constantly subjected to comparisons.To escape the comparisons with these "other people's children," I specifically applied to a private boarding school for middle school.On my first day, my deskmate was a small, thin girl with bangs, wearing an old uniform, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's.Three months later, she woke up from a nap with a "rebirth" halo above her head.She moved effortlessly among the cold academic genius, the wolf-like school bully, the fierce boss, and the gentle childhood friend, leaving me, a lonely onlooker, utterly amazed.By university, I thought I had finally escaped this abnormal world.But as soon as I stepped into my dorm room, my footsteps froze.My roommates each had halos like "ancient times to modern," "post-apocalyptic superhuman," "will die if not spending money," and "ghost king revival."I clutched my little blanket and applied to the counselor for a room change, but to no avail.Over time, I gradually got used to it. "Handover systems," "management systems," "book transmigration," "infinite worlds," "three-and-a-half-year-olds," "interstellar live streams," "red envelope groups"...The types of halos kept increasing, and I was able to calmly ignore all of it, focusing on my own life.Every morning, I skillfully helped my "ancient to modern" roommate, who was being blacklisted online, dodge campus paparazzi and secure seats for class.At noon, I assisted my tycoon roommate in distributing today's haul of luxury skincare and designer bags, tasting the city's top private chef's custom lunchbox, and exclaiming with emotion, "Darling, can I really accept these?"In the evening, I enjoyed the flowers and plants cultivated by my superhuman roommate on the balcony, tasting a mutated cherry tomato and commenting, "I feel refreshed and purified."Late at night, when my ghost king roommate quietly climbed back through the window, I peeked out to ask, "You're back a bit late today, didn't bring anything back, did you?"My name is Yan, and I am not the protagonist of this world.
