[Second Chance Romance] [Entertainment Industry] [Extreme Push and Pull] [Angst] [Healing]

A cold, sharp-tongued young master × a beautiful, stubborn young actor

Yu Xichong × Lin Hu

Lin Hu had been in the industry for eight years, and at twenty-six, his career was still a complete mess.

After finally landing his first leading role, he was replaced because his ex-boyfriend's brother's company had invested in the production.

At his most desperate, he ran into his ex, Yu Xichong, again.

Yu Xichong was riding high, with someone else by his side.

He was utterly cold toward Lin Hu, casually offering him a role in exchange for a week of cooking.

Lin Hu needed the job, and he also believed he had hurt Yu Xichong when he broke up with him back then.

So he agreed to the deal.

He endured every bit of Yu Xichong's malice and humiliation.

Yu Xichong said the new male lead was the company's top-tier star, the same age as Lin Hu, and already at the top of his game. His future looked bright.

Lin Hu understood the jab. Yu Xichong was reminding him that, back when they broke up, Lin Hu had turned down the opportunities he offered.

He forced himself to nod along. "President Yu certainly has a discerning eye."

Yu Xichong narrowed his eyes at him.

"If you hadn't turned me down back then, you wouldn't have to come begging me on your knees now."

"It must be awful, putting up with your ex's insults just to get a role where you aren't even the lead, right?"

Lin Hu lowered his eyes. "Having even a little of Young Master Yu's favor is already an honor. How could I possibly find it hard?"

Reader's guide:

1. Both leads are sexually exclusive. The gong has no new love interest; it's a misunderstanding.

2. Neither of them is perfect. Both have personality flaws.

3. There is a later pursuit of the wife, but no crematorium-style groveling.

4. There are flashback chapters, marked in the chapter titles.

Theme: Love is a game for the brave.
