On my wedding day, I saw my fiancé with his arms around my best friend in the dressing room. He said, “I’m only marrying her for the Lin family’s connections. Once I win Best Actor, I’ll divorce her and marry you.”
Dressed in a million-yuan wedding gown, I turned around and hurled my bouquet at their faces.
Three months later, the S+ costume drama starring my ex-fiancé was announced. As the original author and screenwriter, I shot straight to the top of the trending charts.
At the press conference, a reporter asked sharply, “Ms. Lin, we heard that Best Actor Gu called off your engagement. Are you working together because you still have feelings for each other?”
I smiled at the cameras. “It’s just a business partnership. But I hear Best Actor Gu is trying to get the third male lead role in the movie I’m financing. Would you like me to pass along your résumé?”
That evening, Fu Shiyu, the entertainment industry’s most mysterious power player, cornered me in the parking lot. “Ms. Lin, you’re running off after using me?”
I waved my phone. “Mr. Fu, our CP fan page is already number one on the trending charts. That should be enough to repay the favor, shouldn’t it?”
He chuckled. “Not enough. I’m missing a Mrs. Fu. Would you consider the position, Ms. Lin?”
Later, my ex-fiancé went crazy on set. “Yaoyao, I know I was wrong. I can give up all those connections…”
Fu Shiyu put an arm around my waist and leisurely wiped his fingers. “Mr. Gu, when you call my wife by her full name, remember to add ‘Mrs. Fu.’”
Later still, we appeared on the same dating reality show.
On the show, he cooked for me, tucked me in at midnight, and drove a hundred miles through the rain just to bring me a bowl of soup I’d casually mentioned wanting to try.
