A Guide to Rising to the Top [Entertainment]

【See the cover for details!】【Inline comments are open, feel free to join in~】 Top-tier star Shu Jianwei’s romance has been exposed, but the identity of her mysterious boyfriend remains a mystery. The paparazzi were useless, so enthusiastic netizens dug for three days and three nights, starting with a little white dog and ending up at a wealthy family: the only son of an award-winning actress and a tycoon worth hundreds of billions, Liang Yuchuan, the most low-key top-tier third-generation heir in Xiangjiang. Douban was flooded with mocking posts: 【All you 95-born actresses, step aside. The Crown Princess of Yufeng has arrived.】 【Wow, she’s signing in at her mother-in-law’s company. Is she getting ready to marry into the family?】 【Our domestic entertainment scene is about to have its own wedding of the century.】 【Hot take: what are the odds that Shu Jianwei will marry into a wealthy family?】 【Don’t be sad, Shu Jianwei’s fans. She can make a comeback after having two kids in three years, or three in five. She’ll only be 32 then.】 【Why are Shu Jianwei’s fans in this group so quiet? Are you secretly thrilled?】 【Turns out she really did land Cloudbreak thanks to her “own” efforts.】 … Shu Jianwei’s fans were furious, so they directed all their anger at the supposed culprit. The deeper people dug into Liang Yuchuan’s life, the more abuse he received. “Am I not tall, handsome, rich, and successful? Before I met you, I was still a virgin. What exactly am I missing?” he asked, feeling wronged. “What are the standards for being a good brother-in-law to your fans?” “Who knows if the virgin part is true,” Shu Jianwei said, rubbing her forehead. “You’d better stop digging.” Liang Yuchuan refused to believe it. He looked into the matter and found, oh, he was missing one thing: the fans thought he was as good as dead. “I don’t want to die.” He set down his phone, feeling a little hopeless. Shu Jianwei was much calmer. “There’s no brother-in-law in the world who doesn’t get bashed.” Just like there’s no celebrity who never gets criticized. Compared with the rumors spread about her in the past, the current discussion was nothing. Besides, Liang Yuchuan had been the one to make the first move between them. He was the one who brought her scripts, visited her on set, acted as her bodyguard, and refused to leave. Sorry, she already had all the stardom she could want, and now she wanted even better opportunities. It wasn’t every day you got to fall in love, after all. She might as well make the most of it. A love story between a top star and a spoiled rich heir. Reader’s guide: 1. Jokes about celebrities, fan culture, and the fashion world may pop up at any time. The characters are not based on real people. Even if you think you recognize someone, please don’t say so. Pretty please; 2. The forum posts, fan comments, and some characters’ dialogue do not represent the author’s personal views; 3. The story focuses on mainland Chinese entertainment. Only the male lead is from Xiangjiang, so this is neither a Hong Kong-style novel nor a power fantasy; 4. The male lead is a virgin; 5. Happy ending. 【Please add my upcoming novel, My First Love Is Back in the Countryside, to your reading list~】 Tentative blurb: Before turning thirty, Gu Yuan returned to his rural hometown to lie flat, going from “the child everyone else should learn from” to a cautionary tale proving that “studying is useless.” He was perfectly fine with that. He just wanted to spend the rest of his life in the fresh country air. But he never expected his childhood crush, whom he’d fallen for in elementary school before she transferred to a big city, to suddenly show up in town. She was still as gentle and beautiful as ever, poised and graceful. Just like the time they’d run into each other in sixth grade, she smiled and said, “Long time no see, Gu Yuan.” Gu Yuan was delighted that she still remembered him. But did she have a boyfriend? Theme: It’s better to please yourself than to live for other people.
