Summary
In a world where 99.9% of people have a red string and a fated special other, Xiao Zhan is an odd one out, with no string at all.
He's been navigating his life just fine, completely resigned to being fated to be alone, but something is still missing, and he still wishes for the opposite. Soon after the feeling begins amplifying, a new neighbor moves in next door - and although Xiao Zhan is instantly pulled towards him, and with inexplicable force, his new neighbor does possess a red string of his own, even if he didn't yet meet his match.Is it worth to try and defy fate? Can it even be done? Or is Xiao Zhan just making things worse for himself by wishing for someone he can't keep in the end?

Summary
Xiao Zhan is suffering. He is an accomplished journalist and photographer, now tasked with following GT World Challenge Asia to then write an exclusive report about China's newest promising racer. The only issue? Xiao Zhan doesn't have a the slightest interest in motorsports, and the racer in question keeps turning down everyone asking for interviews... at least until the two of them meet.

Summary
Wang Yibo is famously bad with horror movies, especially the haunted kind. So, when it turns out that his own new apartment might be haunted by an actual real-life ghost, very much outside of a horror movie, he is ready to assume that the universe is playing a cruel joke on him.
Except, this ghost is very different from the ones depicted in such media. Very ironically, that ends up making it all the more cruel, somehow, especially as the question arises: can you fall in love with someone who isn't really there?
