      OSM Chapter 4: Hand cream Cover
      by Sirens Lair Due to Li Yuze's arrival, the lively atmosphere of the class reunion reached its peak. Both familiar and unfamiliar faces crowded around him eagerly. The headmaster even patted Li Yuze on the shoulder, remarking how he hadn't changed at all, and then pulled out a photo for him to autograph. To be honest, Li Yuze hadn’t spent much time with his classmates—only about a year and a half in total. He transferred in during the second semester of their first year and left in the first semester of…

      OSM Chapter 5: On purpose Cover
      by Sirens Lair When Tao Yang found He Zhiqiu, the designated driver's call had just come through. They scheduled a pick-up, leaving them with a few minutes to spare. He Zhiqiu wasn’t in the restroom but was instead standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge area, gazing downward. His phone was on silent, so he hadn’t noticed Tao Yang’s earlier calls. “I feel like something’s off with you,” Tao Yang said, lighting a cigarette as he approached and stood next to He Zhiqiu. He Zhiqiu…

      OSM Chapter 6: Is he really married? Cover
      by Sirens Lair Some grudges may have room for resolution, but emotional wounds aren't something that can be completely healed with just an apology or an explanation. Tao Yang had been worrying for days, fearing that Li Yuze might recall past events after meeting He Zhiqiu again and grow to dislike him. He was concerned this might lead to obstacles in their work. But after a few days of calm, Tao Yang managed to obtain Li Yuze's itinerary through connections. It turned out he had been overly suspicious. Li…

      OSM Chapter 7: Two straws in one drink Cover
      by Sirens Lair Compared to those high-quality productions, the works shot in-house at the company inevitably fall short.   The casting alone speaks volumes—at best, they could only afford an 18th-tier star with just a few hundred thousand followers on social media, half of whom are probably bots.   As for costumes, makeup, and props, the production practically oozes a sense of thrift. The costumes have been worn by generations of productions, with one yellow imperial robe even sporting a few…
    • OSM Chapter 17: “We can start over.”

      OSM Chapter 17: “We can start over.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair Li Yuze's home was spacious, surrounded by windows on all sides, allowing for excellent lighting. The open kitchen was brewing freshly ground coffee, and the rich aroma wafted up the transparent glass staircase to the second floor. He Zhiqiu hadn't had the chance to tour his house. After hearing this, he stood in place, silent for a long while.   Li Yuze's suggestion was actually a good one. If they started over, they could forget everything from the past.   Whether it was unspoken…
    • OSM Chapter 31: “How about we try? Just the two of us… try dating?”

      OSM Chapter 31: “How about we try? Just the two of us… try dating?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair Translator: Abo Dammen These three dishes looked quite ordinary, but they shared a common characteristic.   He Zhiqiu didn’t notice, his attention solely focused on the injury on Li Yuze’s arm.   Although Li Yuze had said it was nothing, faint traces of blood could still be seen seeping through the white bandages.   But He Zhiqiu didn’t want to press the matter further, so he decided not to ask any more questions. After all, no matter how much he asked, there…
    • OSM Chapter 11: Would you mind helping me out by driving Li Yuze back to the hotel? Cover
      by Sirens Lair Gao Kui suspected his foot might be broken. It wasn’t until He Zhiqiu once again firmly answered Li Yuze’s question that the weight pressing on his foot finally lifted. “Senior, what happened just now?” He Zhiqiu hadn’t forgotten Gao Kui’s abrupt yelp and asked with concern. Gao Kui coughed awkwardly and said, “It’s nothing, nothing. The chair leg pressed on my foot.” This excuse might fool a child, but it was clear Gao Kui wasn’t willing to explain further. Sensing this, He…
    • OSM Chapter 15: “Can you… help me?”

      OSM Chapter 15: “Can you… help me?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair While preparing for the wrap party, the staff had bought a variety of drinks and a massive cake.   He Zhiqiu had spent half the day helping carry things around, so cracking open a drink wasn’t unreasonable.   Carbonated beverages, of course, don’t take well to shaking; mishandle one, and it’ll spray everywhere.   Apologizing sincerely, He Zhiqiu quickly grabbed tissues to help the young actor clean up and even offered to wash his clothes. The attention in the room…
    • OSM Chapter 18: “Aren’t you helping me too? It’s just a favor in return.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair   He Zhiqiu accepted the ring and found a thin string to hang it around his neck.   He tried to keep it on as much as possible, only taking it off when work required it. In those cases, he would carefully store it away and put it back on once he was done with the work.   He understood Li Yuze's intention and knew the ring was just an important token, with no other meaning.   He Zhiqiu had unilaterally drawn a line under the matter between him and Li…

      OSM Chapter 22: “No… could it be? Is he your…?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair   Not many people received the second audition invitation from the Pingsha production team. The most popular candidate for the third male lead was only a handful, four or five at most, and there were even fewer for the small villain role—just two people. Besides He Zhiqiu, the other one seemed to be reluctantly there, pacing in the hallway while constantly saying he didn’t want to take the role. “Why do I look like a villain? And a role like this will definitely get me cursed out.…
