The Man Who Was My Son First and Then My Husband Has Appeared

[Original Title: The One Who Was a Son First, Then Became His Sugar Daddy]

[Two-Faced Actor Bottom x Pretentious, Tsundere Best Actor Top]

A year ago, Zhu You discovered that Lin Suiran had taken the blame for him. Framed for sleeping with a fan, Lin Suiran had fallen to the very bottom of the industry overnight.

So, for the past year, Zhu You had secretly donned the little secret identity of a "father figure," having his studio keep an eye on public opinion about Lin Suiran and lending him a hand now and then.

When the time was right, he brought Lin Suiran straight onto the set of his own production.

To keep his secret identity from being exposed, he began living a double life.

During the day

He called Lin Suiran a scumbag in front of everyone;

Snubbed him for being too low-ranking to deserve a meal with him;

And, after winning Best Actor, mocked him for having too many scandals;

At night

When he saw antis mocking Lin Suiran for not having suitable clothes to wear to Cannes, he bought him an outfit and a watch with his own money and had them delivered anonymously;

On the night Lin Suiran won an award, malicious rumors about him flooded the internet, so Zhu You released a clarification video he'd been preparing for a long time;

When he noticed fans shipping the two of them, he immediately denied it;

But then a video surfaced of him drunk and telling Lin Suiran to call him Dad, and somehow he became the captain of the ship for himself and Lin Suiran.

Zhu You: Where exactly did things go wrong?

Worse still, on the day they were taking promotional photos, the director made a sarcastic remark: "Why don't you two stand a little closer?"

Dazzled by the beauty in front of him and not thinking straight, Zhu You took the instruction to "get a little closer" literally, stepped forward, and kissed Lin Suiran on the mouth.

Zhu You: ???!!!

Wait, you... you have to let me explain. I... I'm your dad!!!!

Not long after joining the production, Lin Suiran discovered Zhu You's secret account.

He also learned that the man who looked stern and unapproachable was actually a soft, clingy sweetheart who never said what he meant.

A month later, he saw a post from Zhu You's secret account.

[Lin Suiran's Old Dad Is Online: I have a friend who's about the same height, build, age, and personality as Lin Suiran. He's straight. What do you think the odds are that he could be turned?]

Lin Suiran, who was fretting over the problem, strongly disagreed with the comments teasing him and accusing him of wishful thinking.

So he made a secret account of his own.

Later, when the secret account was discovered, Zhu You argued with him. Lin Suiran simply pinned him beneath himself.

Zhu You went limp, the tips of his ears red as blood.

But Lin Suiran still wouldn't let him go. In a husky voice, he asked again and again:

"Dad, is your son doing a good job?"

Coming soon: My Handsome Fool of a Fake Boyfriend Wants to Make It Official

[Cool, Calculating, Few-Word Author x Flashy, Cringey, Clingy CEO]

Ding Yiming is getting married.

He's Chen Yi's editor, and also the person Chen Yi (chen) has loved for almost ten years.

On the wedding day, Chen Yi overhears Ding Yiming arguing with the bride about him outside the lounge.

Ding Yiming once told him he wanted to be happy.

Listening outside the door, Chen Yi feels awful. He decides to let Ding Yiming have his happiness, and to set himself free.

So he finds himself a fake boyfriend at the last minute.

After the wedding begins, undercurrents ripple through the banquet hall, and many guests keep stealing glances at him.

A gust of wind blows his bangs into disarray. Chen Yi lifts a hand and tucks a few strands stuck to his cheek behind his ear.

Lin Guqian asks a waiter for a hair tie, then steps closer and carefully gathers the soft hair at the back of Chen Yi's head.

"Your hair is really soft," Lin Guqian says. "My mom's hair is coarse and frizzy. Nothing she does to take care of it helps."

Lin Guqian leans a little closer. "Is it naturally like this?"

Chen Yi: "You don't have to talk."

Lin Guqian smiles. "I'm just worried people will realize I'm fake. Everyone here is pretty sharp."

Chen Yi: ...Not as sharp as you.

Once Chen Yi realizes Lin Guqian has fallen for him, he immediately makes it clear they have no relationship.

One night, Chen Yi lets loose and drinks himself silly at a bar. Lin Guqian comes looking for him and follows him everywhere, like an eagle guarding its chick.

Chen Yi finally loses patience and asks, "Do you like me?"

Before Lin Guqian can answer, he adds self-deprecatingly, "Why are you chasing me? Do you pity me?"

Lin Guqian looks completely serious. "I've pitied plenty of people, but you're different. You're the first person I've ever pursued."

Chen Yi gives a quiet laugh. "That's because I'm good-looking."

If he weren't good-looking, Lin Guqian wouldn't have paid him any attention on the cruise ship.

At that, Lin Guqian smiles. "I'm not bad-looking either. Are you saying I'm not your type?"

As he speaks, Lin Guqian slowly moves closer, staring right into Chen Yi's eyes. "Wifey," he says, his voice full of pleading and hurt.

Chen Yi pauses, then pushes him away.

Lin Guqian knows exactly how to get to him.

Later, Chen Yi finally sees the truth: to Ding Yiming, he was nothing more than a line on a resume.

When he gets home, he sees Lin Guqian in an apron, waiting for him on the sofa.

"Let's give us a try."

He expects Lin Guqian to be thrilled, but the other man acts completely out of character.

"Wifey, every time he makes you angry, you want to find someone to have fun with. If that's what's happening today, I don't want to."

But in the end, Lin Guqian can't bear to let his wifey have fun all by himself.

The doorbell rings. Ding Yiming has come to apologize.

He knows Chen Yi likes him. All he has to do is beckon, say a few nice things, and reminisce about the hard times they went through together, and Chen Yi will forgive him, just like before.

But this time, Chen Yi refuses to see him.

Covered in scratches, Lin Guqian smiles at him.

"Sorry, Editor Ding. I didn't hear the bell just now, so you had to wait a while. Chen Yi... ah, no, my wife asked me to tell you not to come looking for him again."
