1.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Xu Zhaoye’s manager was a force to be reckoned with.

In just two short years, Fang Yuan had turned Xu Zhaoye from a nobody in the industry into a rising Best Actor.

He stayed out of the spotlight and never took credit. He was simply strict.

Someone joked that even if the two of them were dating, he might not be this strict.

At the time, Xu Zhaoye was standing with his childhood friend and co-star in his next drama. Fang Yuan was holding the script and about to walk over.

Then he heard Xu Zhaoye cut off the teasing in a sharp voice: “No way. I’m not that blind.”

2.

Fang Yuan had always believed that love could overcome any obstacle. From college to Xu Zhaoye’s debut, only he knew how many hardships they had faced along the way.

He had also thought that his efforts would earn him the return he deserved.

Sadly, after countless late nights getting drunk at business dinners, all he came home to was Xu Zhaoye’s cold, turned back.

Fang Yuan comforted himself that Xu Zhaoye was under a lot of pressure too, and that they would make it through this difficult time.

Until Xu Zhaoye brought his childhood friend into the company and ruined several opportunities for his sake. With Xu Zhaoye’s future looking bleak, Fang Yuan finally couldn’t take it anymore.

He never expected Xu Zhaoye to slam his hand on the table, his tone as vicious as if he were facing an enemy. “You’ve managed me all these years. Do I not even have this little bit of freedom now?”

Fang Yuan’s heart died. He submitted his resignation and moved behind the scenes.

If freedom was what you wanted, then have it your way.

He thought for a long time by the sea, then made that phone call.

“Mr. Fu, when can we get our marriage license?”

3.

Fu Jiming was very good at waiting.

He waited for Fang Yuan to grow from a brash young man into an outstanding adult, then waited for him to see through that good-for-nothing and break up with him.

As it turned out, his patience had been worthwhile.

Heartbroken, Fang Yuan didn’t refuse the proposal for an arranged marriage.

The connections and resources Fu Jiming had built up over the years made it easy for him to resolve Fang Yuan’s predicament. His patience and consideration also helped Fang Yuan find the courage to try again.

Their married life was blissfully comfortable. The only downside was that Xu Zhaoye, whose career kept going downhill, was like a fly that wouldn’t leave them in peace.

At the wrap party for a film, Fang Yuan and Fu Jiming attended as investors.

After the party, Xu Zhaoye, who had a supporting role in the film, rushed up to them. Just as he reached out to grab Fang Yuan, the bodyguard beside them pinned him to the ground.

He looked up, disheveled. “Fang Yuan, I have something to tell you. Could you…”

Fu Jiming stepped in front of him, blocking his view of Fang Yuan, and casually revealed the ring on his left ring finger.

“Sorry, my spouse is busy. You can contact the assistant to schedule an appointment.”

Upcoming Novel

1.

Web-novel editor Lin Ting accidentally transmigrates into an unfinished erotic novel while working late at night, and gets bound to a gossip System.

The good news: If he completes the progress bar, he’ll become rich overnight and return to his original world with three unlimited wishes.

But… he seems to have trouble understanding the script.

What does it mean that Xie Jikai, the story’s biggest villain, is the nominal uncle of the top CEO, the childhood friend trusted most by the business tycoon, the most reliable partner of the undefeated ace lawyer who’s a bottom, and the original protagonist’s angel investor…?

Lin Ting: “What’s this whole list after the character description?”

Gossip System: “Those are your roles. ^ ^”

Lin Ting: “Wake up. There isn’t room for this many people here!”

And with so many sources of gossip, it’s practically being handed to me for free. Even a dog could finish the job…

2.

Then Lin Ting failed to meet his progress target on time and turned into a dog.

Lin Ting: “?”

System: “Fail to meet the target and you’ll trigger a penalty! Keep up the good work! ^ ^”

After hiding in shame for three days, Lin Ting turned back into a person. He took his lesson to heart and decided to pick up the pace.

Top CEO: “You know, I have a friend who…”

Lin Ting: “Your car’s downstairs. Go after him now. Your runaway childhood sweetheart boards in forty minutes.”

Ace lawyer: “We’ve been buddies for years. I’ve always thought of you as one of my own. I’ve got some relationship troubles…”

Lin Ting: “Your assistant misunderstood and thought you were going on a date this afternoon. They’re packing up and getting ready to run away.”

Executive assistant: “Boss, I want to quit. I have some personal matters to take care of.”

Lin Ting: “I’ll approve a year of paid leave. Now, tell me all about your first crush.”

Original protagonist: “Mr. Jiang, I have a project that…”

Lin Ting: “Go to the conference room downstairs and find the one wearing… Oh, you mean the partnership? Sorry, go on.”

…

3.

Lin Ting became hopelessly addicted to gossip, and the rewards came pouring in.

Luxury cars, beautiful people, surprise business deals, lavish mansions,

a hundredfold returns on stocks, and an abundance of good fortune. He had it all.

With his progress bar shooting up, Lin Ting could sleep until he woke naturally every day and count money until his hands cramped. He decided to reward himself with a perfect vacation, bringing Xie Jikai along to unwind and make progress on their everyday-life route.

Then… he got locked up.

Blue skies, a desolate island,

the sound of waves drifting through a spacious wooden cabin.

Xie Jikai had shed his usual warmth and humility.

After Lin Ting vanished for days and reappeared out of nowhere, Xie Jikai’s expression grew increasingly sinister. He loomed over him, closing in and claiming him without restraint.

For the first time, Lin Ting saw Xie Jikai for who he truly was.

Xie Jikai picked up the trembling Lin Ting and stared straight into his eyes, muttering to himself.

“Uncle, you made me do this.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if you only looked at me?”

Lin Ting: “... When I said I wanted to sleep until I woke up naturally, I didn’t mean like this!”

#Knock knock knock, wasn’t this supposed to be a life-simulation game?

#Nobody said playing matchmaker would get me screwed!

#Wasn’t this supposed to be Reborn: I’m the Overpowered Hero in Green River?

#Tell me, did you lose this golden puppy, this silver puppy, or this jealous puppy gone bad?
