The Veteran Returns to Eighteen

Tricking Your Preference

Su Wan, a neglected illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, plots to approach the scheming Emperor Xiao Jingyan for revenge for her mother's wrongful death. She pretends to be deeply in love to gain his trust and expose the Prime Minister's corruption. However, she soon discovers that Xiao Jingyan has long seen through her plan—he is the little beggar she saved years ago, who has been waiting three years just to let her come close voluntarily. When Su Wan thinks she's “using” his preference, she realizes this “deceived affection” has always been Xiao Jingyan's hidden true heart. Amidst the court's intrigue, they go from “mutual calculation” to “mutual devotion”. The cruelest scheme turns out to be the Emperor's long-concealed sincerity, and the sweetest love is that when you trick me, I've already given you my whole heart.

Sun-Facing Flowers Bloom First in Spring

Lin Xiaoman's "Spring Letter" flower shop nestles in an old factory in the old town—a "healing corner" she's guarded for a decade. Here, there's her stray dog "Xiao Kui", the paper flowers she folded for her terminally ill grandma at 16, and a secret hidden for ten years: in the hospital corridor back then, a boy in a white T-shirt gave her a paper sunflower, saying, "Sun-facing flowers can hold onto the people you cherish." But now, Gu Zhao, a returnee architect in a suit, shows up with a demolition plan, ready to tear down the factory—yet he doesn't remember the little girl who folded flowers in the corridor. When Gu Zhao's finger taps the "demolition area" on the blueprint, Lin Xiaoman spots a sunflower brooch peeking out of his collar—it's the one she secretly gave that boy! Now he's the "demolisher" and she's the "protector". Clutching the paper sunflower she's kept for years, how can she make him remember: their "spring" was never a cold blueprint, but the promise two kids made in the warm light that year—to "hold onto tenderness"?
