Parasites in the House

Lin Xiaoman, a housewife, devoted everything to her mother-in-law and lazy brother-in-law after marriage, only to face betrayal: her husband cheated, and his mistress moved in with their illegitimate child, claiming to be a "distant relative"—this family fed on her youth and savings like parasites. When she found evidence of her husband transferring their joint property, Lin Xiaoman stopped tolerating: she retrieved her pre-marriage award-winning designs, contacted old colleagues, exposed the mistress, and reclaimed her rights through law. Her once-abusive mother-in-law begged her to return, and her cheating husband knelt for forgiveness, but she had already started a new life as a designer with her daughter, hitting all the "parasites" hard with her counterattack.

The Adventures of Sanmao: Flames of the War-Torn City

Amid the flames of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the orphan Sanmao finds a broken bowl inscribed with "The Wandering Immortal Code" in the ruins, accidentally binding to a "Cultivation Wandering System"—he must earn merit by helping refugees to unlock life-saving skills like "snatching steamed buns from thin air" and "bulletproof talismans". But the system is always glitchy: helping Granny find her chicken attracts enemy military dogs; stealing candy for a starving girl triggers a "Sweet Romance Task"—a fake wedding with a warlord's young master! While evading Japanese air raids and outsmarting the faulty system, Sanmao gathers homeless kids into a "Flame Little Family" with his "clumsy ideas", even softening the warlord's adjutant who once wanted to arrest him—turns out the most powerful "immortal technique" is the sincerity of handing half a sesame cake with a smile amid the rubble.

Deep Love Lets Me See You

Su Xiao, an amnesiac illustrator, has been drawing the same painting for three years: a woman in a dark green cheongsam standing at an old alley. Her life changes when she meets Gu Shen, an antique shop owner—who not only has an old photo of the cheongsam woman but also says, "I'm waiting for someone you can only 'see' with deep love." Su Xiao discovers that the sugar-fried chestnut stall and bluestone paths in her paintings perfectly match Gu Shen's childhood memories. Even more bizarre: she starts having recurring Republic of China-era dreams—she’s A Ruan, a young opera apprentice, and Gu Shen is Gu Zhao, a returning overseas student. They fell in love but were torn apart by family opposition. On her deathbed, A Ruan clutched the chestnuts Gu Zhao gave her and vowed, "Next life, I’ll find you with deep love." Just as Su Xiao uncovers the past-life secret hidden in her art, Gu Shen collapses from a chronic illness. Rushing to the hospital, she finds A Ruan’s silver hairpin on his bedside, along with a yellowed note: "It’s not you finding me—it’s me, spending a lifetime of deep love, waiting for you to 'see' me." Gu Shen has held onto their past-life memories for twenty years, and Su Xiao’s paintings—filled with her unspoken affection—were just her finally 'seeing' the man who’d never left.
