After the Aloof Movie Star and the Hair-Trigger CEO Married by Contract

Shen Sitang started a company selling celebrity merchandise and made a fortune selling products featuring his sworn enemy, the film emperor.

But one day, his rival was hit with a scandal. Shen Sitang was left with a huge amount of merchandise to offload and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

With no other choice, he contacted his sworn enemy, Jiang Yi, and proposed a marriage of convenience, hoping to help him clear his name.

They got their marriage certificates in no time. After that, Shen Sitang found himself restricted at every turn at home, and his frustration kept rising.

He couldn’t eat instant food anymore because Jiang Yi said it was unhealthy. He couldn’t stay up late because Jiang Yi would knock on his door early in the morning to wake him. Even in his own house, he had to sneak around to keep anyone from discovering what was in his master bedroom: an entire wall covered in Jiang Yi merchandise, the very source of his fortune.

The worst part was that not long after they got married, Jiang Yi became popular again.

Shen Sitang: We got married for nothing...

Finding the right opportunity, Shen Sitang kicked Jiang Yi out. But after only a few days of freedom, he quickly packed his bags and moved into Jiang Yi’s place.

What kind of variety show started filming at home? His master bedroom was off-limits!

So Shen Sitang kept running between the company, the variety show, Jiang Yi’s house, and his own. Then one day, while he was livestreaming, he heard someone call his name.

He turned around to see Jiang Yi leaning against the door, watching him with keen interest.

And there he was, standing in a meticulously decorated Jiang Yi fan room, wearing a costume of Jiang Yi’s dumpling mascot and holding a freshly made Jiang Yi dumpling, looking every inch the devoted fan.

Shen Sitang: ...

As the man approached, Shen Sitang hurriedly said, “Wait, I can explain!”

The next moment, Jiang Yi pinned him against the display cabinet and cut off the rest of his words with a kiss.

The whole scene was livestreamed, and Shen Sitang’s identity as a streamer was no longer a secret.

#Turns out the person I stan is the same person

#Another day of envying Jiang Yi

#That was so intense. Was it really just a kiss?

As their CP fans passed the livestream around like crazy, Shen Sitang was nearly eaten alive.

I’m done.

I want a divorce!

**

Jiang Yi had been in love with Shen Sitang since high school. Back then, he thought that loving someone meant letting them be free. Then same-sex marriage became legal. Years after graduation, when he was going through a rough patch, Shen Sitang, whom he hadn’t spoken to in ages, came looking for him...

This time, Jiang Yi decided he would use every means at his disposal to make him stay. He would never let him go so easily again.

[Extra scene]

The morning after the divorce agreement was torn up, Shen Sitang woke up aching all over, with not a patch of skin on him unmarked.

A fire flared up inside him, and he gave Jiang Yi a vicious kick.

It didn’t move him in the slightest. Instead, Jiang Yi caught him by the ankle.

“Still have some energy left?”

“...”

No.

He really had nothing left.

P.S.

1v1, both virgins, happy ending, reunion from the very beginning. Focused on the romance~

Upcoming novel, please add it to your reading list: Washed-Up Actor Takes His Injured Brother’s Place as a Boy Band Idol

PRISM, a boy band whose popularity had been on the rise, had recently been hit with one scandal after another.

First, the leader, Lu Jinran, was accused of bullying a bandmate. Then the youngest member, Jiang Can, was accused of slacking off on stage and treating fans carelessly. Their individual fans blamed each other, their CP fans cried together, and group fans despaired. Everything was a mess.

But during the promotion period for their new song, fans noticed that the youngest member had stopped slacking off. Lu Jinran was also constantly sticking close to Jiang Can, no longer acting arrogant as before. His gaze was so gentle, it seemed to hold eyes for Jiang Can alone.

CP fans: After all these years, our rarepair is finally getting its spring!

But they didn’t get to enjoy it for long before disaster struck.

Lu Jinran and Jiang Can became even more careful to avoid looking close. Jiang Can seemed fine, but Lu Jinran always looked heartbroken.

CP fans: They broke up! They had a falling-out! QAQ

*

It had been over half a year since the washed-up actor Jiang Lie took his injured brother’s place as an idol in a boy band. Now that his brother had recovered and was back in the group, Jiang Lie turned around, gathered himself, and prepared to shoot a new drama.

At the script-reading session, Jiang Lie finally met the other lead the production team had cast.

Lu Jinran sat in the main seat with his arms crossed and a pleased smile on his lips. “Jiang Can, long time no see.”

Jiang Lie calmly corrected him. “Nice to meet you. My name is Jiang Lie.”

*

Something even more unbearable happened for the CP fans: Lu Jinran couldn’t win Jiang Can’s heart, so he went to some shabby production to find a stand-in!

Apart from looking alike, how could Jiang Lie possibly measure up to Jiang Can in ability or popularity?

But... why did their interactions feel so familiar?!

#What do you mean the CP we shipped swapped members halfway through?

#I don’t want to ship them either, but there’s just so much sweet content!

P.S.

1. Younger top. An unruly wolfdog top x a beautiful, cool-natured bottom who can act like anyone, but is cold at heart. (When the bottom plays his younger brother, he acts more cheerful, but there are still differences between them.)

2. Firmly 1v1, no wavering. The top and the younger brother have no romance, the top never fell for the younger brother, and the younger brother only sees the top as a friend.

3. Happy ending, both virgins. A light, sweet romance in my style.

Theme: Face difficulties without fear, keep moving forward, and make your way toward a happy life.
