The Protege's Panic

Must Go Home for Chinese New Year

Su Xiao is an "overtime diehard" at a Beijing internet company who uses "project deadlines" to avoid going home every Spring Festival. Until her mother sends a message saying "Grandma wants to see you one last time," she hurries back—only to find a table full of New Year's Eve dinner and Lin Chuan, her high school crush, sitting on the sofa. The once poor top student who couldn't afford workbooks is now a local tech tycoon; and the so-called "dying grandma" is actually a "scheme" Lin Chuan planned with her family—ten years ago, her casual remark "I'll come back to you when I make something of myself" stuck with Lin Chuan for a decade. He even moved his company back to his hometown just to wait for her "return". When Lin Chuan takes out the engagement ring he's hidden for three years, Su Xiao finally understands: "must go home" is never about the Spring Festival—it's about someone who made "waiting for her" a "required course" every year.

Lin Chuan, a modern office worker, accidentally transmigrated while staying up late to binge-watch dramas—only to end up in the Joyful Sect, a demonic clan infamous for "yin-yang energy harvesting"!

Falling in Love When the Wind Rises

Lin Wan, a publishing editor, has an instinctive fear of wind—her mother disappeared in a typhoon when she was a kid, so she even needs half an hour to gather courage just to open a window. Until Cheng Feng, the author of the wind-themed photo book she’s handling, shows up. This man, who’s traveled the world to photograph wind, says, "Wind is a messenger that speaks," but Lin Wan thinks he’s crazy. Until one windy evening, Cheng Feng drags her to the rooftop, tells her to close her eyes and reach out: "Listen—there’s the rustle of the orange candy wrapper your mom gave you back then, in the wind." It turns out Cheng Feng met Lin Wan’s mother, who was searching for her daughter during that typhoon, and he’s kept the candy wrapper as a "token" ever since. When the secret in the wind is unveiled, the two people bound by the wind finally catch each other’s long-overdue heartbeat as the wind rises again.

After 99 Confession Failures, I Got Possessed by an Alien Boss!

Lin Xiaotang, a lifelong single, summons courage for the 99th time to confess to Gu Mingchuan, her crush of three years—only to have her love letter thrown into milk tea by Gu in public: "A girl as unremarkable as you doesn't even deserve to be remembered." Desperate, she runs to the riverside to end her life, but a blue light flashes—Zero, a high-dimensional being from Cybertron, forcefully possesses her! Zero is an interstellar "Wish Executor" on the run from the Empire for refusing to manipulate human emotions; it needs a human host to hide energy, in exchange for helping Lin achieve her wish of "being truly liked." But Zero's "interstellar help" is a disaster: using molecular rearrangement to slim her down, only for her clothes to shrink at work and expose her waist; using telepathy to charm Gu, but accidentally revealing his childhood bed-wetting secret! Worse still, Imperial hunters track Zero to Earth, wanting to erase its consciousness—Lin must handle her chaotic "overpowered life" while torn between "winning love with alien powers" and "being true to herself." And the flashes from Zero's chip? They reveal a shock: her mother, missing for 18 years, was linked to an alien spaceship...
