Shen Yihan x Lu Qingning
--
Love is like eating a lemon: the first bite makes your teeth ache, but the more you savor it, the sweeter it gets.
Lu Qingning’s ex, Shen Yihan, was his teammate back when he was an idol in a boy band. Their fans thought they were sworn enemies who couldn’t stand each other, but in reality, they were a loving couple.
After being mocked and vilified across the internet and seeing the group disband, Lu Qingning also saw his boyfriend become his ex.
Lu Qingning switched careers and became an actor. Though he was still a little-known nobody well outside the ranks of the top eighteen, he stayed optimistic, cheerful, and dedicated to his work.
He thought his ties with Shen Yihan had run their course, but at a party he unexpectedly ran into his ex, whom he hadn’t seen in two years. His ex had become a domineering CEO and forced him to sign a contract to be kept.
And so an unusual relationship began to unfold between them.
Content warning: Both leads have exes, but once they meet, they only have eyes for each other.
Note: There are many flashback chapters. Please don’t complain if that’s not your thing.
