| Chu Huan and Jian Chi.
| Obscure celebrity paired with an ordinary person.
| A play within a play within a play (not really).
Child star Chu Huan has known both fame and obscurity. So even though he's still young, he doesn't have the youthful arrogance, impatience, or misgivings typical of young people.
He can take a role in an explicit gay movie without a second thought. The only thing he needs to worry about is whether his scene partner will be easy to work with.
He never imagined that one day he would fall in love with a man eight years older than him, a man who had been divorced and had a child.
At thirty-three, Jian Chi loses everything after a car accident sets off a chain of events, leaving him in the humiliating position of having achieved nothing. He has no idea what his future might look like. Forced to give up early on a path he'd once chosen for his life, he accepts this unexpected turn of events.
He's never acted before and doesn't understand how a gay couple is supposed to behave. He relies entirely on instinct and just being himself, and somehow shines in the role, exactly as the director hoped.
Everyone who spends time with him says he's gentle and mild-mannered, as warm and refined as jade. No one knows that the real Jian Chi is outwardly modest but quietly arrogant. That's what makes him the aloof beauty in everyone's eyes, and what gives him what it takes to land the role.
I haven't come up with the rest of the blurb yet.
I'll add it when I think of something.
A blurb-writing disaster is crying like a cat.jpg.
