There Can Be No Wind [The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead]

Stealing someone else's man | A gentle golden retriever who fights for what he wants | Intense push and pull | Rivalry between men - With a prestigious marriage just around the corner, Zhou Xitang, a winner in life, leaves her wealthy fiancé behind and runs off to work on a remote island. The male lead, Meng Yuzhi, has impossibly long legs. He's a gentle gentleman with a steady temperament, and a hugely popular heartthrob. The two of them are champions at keeping their distance. Everyone thinks they're strangers. A few days later, Shen Jinchuan tracks her down on set. The powerful man lowers his head and dotes on Zhou Xitang in front of everyone, then takes her away after dinner. At the dinner, Meng Yuzhi is composed and tactful, holding a champagne glass in his slender fingers as he politely toasts the investors without fawning or acting arrogant. Zhou Xitang sits with the investors, held in Shen Jinchuan's arms, too afraid to look at him. After dinner, Meng Yuzhi dutifully finishes filming his remaining scenes. In the drowning scene, he's stabbed and plunges cleanly into the sea. The water turns red, swallowing his mouth and nose. The director calls, “Cut!” He leaves the set alone, his hair soaked and his eyes red and swollen. He stands outside Zhou Xitang's room for a long time. - During casting for A Fine Night with Yuzhi, the casting director asks Zhou Xitang if there's an actor she'd like to cast. From the photos scattered across the table, Zhou Xitang casually picks one up. “Him.” She holds it up to the light and reads the name. “Meng Yuzhi.” Five days before her wedding to Shen Jinchuan, Meng Yuzhi smashes the floor-to-ceiling window of her apartment. At the time, Shen Jinchuan has her pinned against the window. Fireworks fill the sky, and roses cover the floor like splattered blood. Downstairs, the man's face is pale, blood dripping from his palm and fingertips. He doesn't even notice. When he hears Zhou Xitang is hurt, Meng Yuzhi turns back and races upstairs. Amid the mess Shen Jinchuan left behind, he finds her tapping out a letter to break off the engagement, one word at a time. - Six months after the wedding is called off, Shen Jinchuan has completely descended into madness. The once-proud heir grovels in the dust, trying every means to win her back. One morning, Meng Yuzhi wakes up in bed and hears Zhou Xitang talking on the phone through the haze of sleep. He follows her into the bathroom and corners her against the glass door. “Who are you going to see?” He gently bites the tip of her ear and asks in a hoarse voice. Bracing herself against the glass door, she feels his long fingers interlace with hers. The veins on the back of his hand rise and wind up his forearm. He kisses her ear again and again. “You're not allowed to see him.” - Years later, when someone asks about his relationship with the screenwriter, Meng Yuzhi smiles, his expression gentle and serene. “I'm her actor.” 「Screenwriter who hides her edge X Actor」 「Considerate and gentle (or so he seems) X Restrained and proper (only in daylight)」 Note: The heroine isn't chaste, but the hero is. Happy ending. No real-life inspirations, so please don't make assumptions. -------------Next book: My Private Mount Fuji------------ Uncle and nephew at odds | Scheming older man | Marriage by force | Marriage before love When they first meet, Nan Nian follows Jin Jiacheng's lead and calls Bo Nian “Little Uncle.” After that, she keeps her distance from him, just like everyone else.
