Chen Huai won the Best Actor award. A crowd of renowned directors praised his action scenes, but his rival, Wen Gu, told millions of viewers, “There’s still plenty of room for Chen Huai’s acting to improve.”
Chen Huai was so angry he smashed his low-calorie meal.
The two had been at odds ever since they competed for their debut spots, yet they had a huge fandom shipping them, producing fanworks nonstop and saving enough photos of them together to dilute and drink for a whole year.
Chen Huai: “I refuse to be paired with him!”
But at the press conference for their new series, he and Wen Gu both fainted.
When they woke up, Chen Huai and Wen Gu had entered a fanfiction story.
They went from rivals who pretended not to see each other to a couple whose romance was updated daily. They even got legally married and planned to appear on a marriage reality show.
To return to the real world, they had to win first place on the show.
They looked at each other and said in perfect unison, “Ew.”
Whatever. They were both award-winning actors, weren’t they? They could just act.
When filming began, the two linked arms and gazed deeply into each other’s eyes on camera. No one suspected that the award-winning actors were putting on an act. As soon as filming ended, they threw away the jackets the other had touched.
They faked their kisses, and their promotional photos left them red-faced and flustered.
When they had to write love letters to each other, Chen Huai got Doubao to write his, while Wen Gu opened ChatGPT.
At first, they went their separate ways as soon as they left the set. By the end of the show, they had progressed to holding hands, hugging, and even sharing brief, feather-light kisses.
At last, they returned to the real world. Chen Huai was just looking for somewhere quiet when someone grabbed him.
Wen Gu: “It’s just another world. I’ll keep loving you, baby.”
Chen Huai, horrified: “Don’t get so lost in the role!”
Then Wen Gu pinned him against the wall, their bodies burning inside and out.
Wen Gu’s breath was scorching. “So, are we going to make this act real or not?”
“...” Chen Huai caught his fingertips. “Yes.”
Wen Gu had noticed Chen Huai long ago, before everyone else fell in love with him.
To protect a difficult secret, he had no choice but to steal Chen Huai’s debut spot.
Knowing Chen Huai could never love him again, he simply raced down the path of becoming his rival.
Wen Gu never expected that he would enter a fanfiction story with Chen Huai.
In this world of fanfiction, his unmentionable fantasies finally had a purpose.
Heaven had taken pity on him, giving all his feelings and love, his protectiveness and schemes, a chance to come to light.
------I was already in love with you before the world was.
Both are each other’s only partner.
