The Hard-Won Melon Was So Sweet It Nearly Killed Me

[A dazzling, brazen top-tier star gone delightfully unhinged vs. a cold, aloof Oscar-winning actor, the untouchable blossom on a high peak] [Both pure and powerful, both hiding secret identities; enemies to lovers, showbiz, plot twists, ensemble cast] Xie Xin is a rising star who shot to fame with a danmei adaptation. Dazzling and brazen, he fears nothing and no one. Yan Huai is an award-winning actor who has won the top prize eight years running. Cold and distinguished, he is a towering presence in the industry. The two should have been like fire and water, but fate forced them together: Xie Xin got the lead role, while Yan Huai was cast in a supporting part. The actor’s fury erupted after a drinking party, and he cornered Xie Xin in the restroom. Before his icy threat could leave his lips, Xie Xin completely threw him off with a sudden kiss! A phone camera started recording. The delightfully unhinged star grinned like a little demon. “Not happy about it, Actor Yan? Too bad! Refuse to cooperate, and this ‘intimate video’ will be all over the internet in a second~” Yan Huai wiped away the trace of a kiss on his lips, his gaze turning to ice. “I hope you don’t regret this.” The explosive push and pull that began with a forced kiss in the restroom tore away the layers of secret identities they both wore. Once those disguises fell, who would be the first to fall into the trap they had each set? Much later, Xie Xin lounged lazily on the sofa, his beautiful, alluring eyes lifting as he watched Actor Yan, the great star himself, busy in the kitchen. “Do you believe that my whole clan pushed me into showbiz just for fun? I’m not afraid of ruining my reputation.” Yan Huai glanced back from his chopping. “Then do you believe I’m the one who’ll ruin your reputation?” “I do.”
