An Lian De Xiao Qing Mei Ta Ren Mei Ge Tian - Li Sheng Jie x Liu Xi Yu
Favorite variation due to the focus on the leads relationship, keeping conflict that do not contribute much value to a minimum. Simplistic and sweet story.

Little Green Plum Heart - Ka Rong x Mi Qi
More complicated plot and more conflict than version 1 but the leads are very sweet. The additional problems and subplots feel unnecessary and make this variation more like the stereotypical melodramatic vertical short drama. The basic story is still the same as version 1.

Other variation:
Childhood Sweetheart - Zhong Zheng x Liu Ying
- more similar to Little Green Plum Heart
- FL feels even more spunky in this version
