Paper Marriage Contract

Time's Call, Warmth Arises

32-year-old Su Xiaotang is in the darkest moment of her life: demoted at work, a rebellious daughter, a husband distant due to his startup, and her dearest mother suffering from Alzheimer's who no longer recognizes her. One late night, her old unused phone rings— the caller ID is “Mom”, her mother’s number from ten years ago! When she answers, she hears the voice of her 28-year-old mother—who had just conceived her and was hesitating to marry her penniless father. Su Xiaotang wants to “fix” her mother’s life via the call, but discovers the unspoken deep love behind her mother’s choice back then. This cross-time call helps her rediscover family warmth and learn to face current troubles. She realizes “growing towards warmth” isn’t about changing the past, but embracing the present with love.

Blade & Fish: The Nuo God's Urban Legacy

Qiao Jiale, a Nuo opera actor hiding in the city, is actually the descendant of the sealed Savior Nuo God. When fake god forces try to cut off his incense (source of divine power) and tamper with Nuo culture for profit, he's forced to awaken his divine power to fight back. He tangles with Li Ru, a cold cultural relic restorer investigating ancient Nuo masks—from bickering about “pretending to be a god” and “stuffy relic fanatic” to working together to expose the fake gods' schemes. They fall for each other while guarding Nuo opera heritage, but dare not confess due to the gap between “god and human”. When the last wisp of incense is about to go out and Qiao prepares to risk his life alone, Li Ru takes out a Nuo mask she's hidden for three years: “I knew you were the Nuo God long ago—this time, let me protect you.” Can the thousand-year-old heritage flame rekindle in the city, along with their love?

The Learned Mistress: Ruling with Wisdom Over Fists

Shen Zhixia, mistress of the ancient Jingyuan Hou Mansion, was a well-educated woman from a humble background. After marrying into the mansion, she faced framing from concubines and coldness from her mother-in-law due to her “low birth”—when a concubine accused her of stealing a “Wang Xizhi calligraphy scroll”, she cited *Shuduan* (a classic on calligraphy) to expose the forgery on the spot; when her mother-in-law tried to sell farmland to solve a crisis, she used *Qimin Yaoshu* (a farming encyclopedia) to prove the next year’s bumper harvest and saved the family property; even when the mansion was falsely accused of “colluding with enemies”, she relied on her familiarity with *The Laws of Da Wei* to find evidence and clear their name. The so-called “ruling with fists” is actually her using knowledge as a weapon to silence malicious schemers, eventually becoming the respected “wise mistress” of the Hou Mansion!

Porridge Truck Through Time: The Poor Boy's Congee Won the Female Emperor

Lin Xiaoman, a poor boy, loaded a truck of white porridge early in the morning to set up his stall, but fell into a construction pit and traveled back to an ancient disaster area filled with starving people. Seeing crying children and desperate elderly, he gritted his teeth and opened the truck—steaming porridge became the "living Buddha" in the famine. This act alerted Ye Zhao, the female emperor on an incognito visit. She initially wanted to punish him for "using sorcery to deceive people", but witnessed him cooking porridge with a modern pressure cooker, distributing it with plastic bowls, and even teaching refugees to grow potatoes! When the empress asked, "What reward do you want?", Lin scratched his head and said he just wanted to earn money to go back and marry a wife. Ye Zhao smiled: "Then marry me—I'll help you sell porridge all over the world."
