The Scorching Sun Sets Me Ablaze [Showbiz]

[Independent Variety Show Producer * Younger Top-Tier Star Singer] Once, Qian Jiayao thought she would stay single for the rest of her life. Her ideal plan was to work hard, make as much money as she could, then go to a sperm bank overseas and find a legal way to have a child of her own. But she never imagined that one day the boy who had always been as warm and pure as the spring sunshine would turn as passionate and wild as summer. His heated breath brushed her neck, leaving a faint red mark. A low, husky murmur sounded by her ear: "You won't take my money, so how about I invest in your dream another way?" Before you read (things to know): 1. Mutual pining, with an older woman and younger man. The male lead is the younger brother of the female lead's best friend. 2. The female lead is an independent single woman whose wish is to save up and have a child on her own, not through surrogacy (without harming another woman). 3. This is the first serious relationship for both leads. They're a little slow to understand their feelings at first, so please give them some time if the angst gets to you. 4.

"The boys these days are so good-looking. Too bad Victoria isn't here, or she'd want to sign him up as an idol right away." A playful bet led Zheng Yaoyang, a brilliant AI doctoral graduate who had just returned from overseas, to cross over into songwriting and performing. He quickly took the music world by storm and won countless awards. He even joined a dating reality show produced by Qian Jiayao. *ACT 2* The first day of filming the dating reality show. Each male guest had to choose a female guest he was interested in as his partner for the episode. Host: "All right, it's Dr. Zheng's turn to choose. Who will you pick?" The top star's seemingly innocent eyes flashed with a sly glint. "Me? I'll choose her." Everyone followed the direction of his finger, past all the eager female guests, and realized he was pointing at the monitor on the side of the set. Qian Jiayao, watching the show and snacking in front of the monitor: "I didn't see who he picked. Who was it? ... What? Me???" *ACT 3* At a gathering of friends years ago, Victoria showed Qian Jiayao a photo of an adorable little boy and bragged, "Wasn't my little brother adorable when he was a kid?" "He really was!" Qian Jiayao said sincerely. "Now he's a handsome guy who's over six feet tall! What do you think, Jiayao? Want to consider becoming my sister-in-law someday?" Victoria winked at her. "Absolutely!" Qian Jiayao joked. "Your brother's handsome and a top student, his dad's rich, his mom's an international movie star, and his sister's a superstar agent. Anyone who marries him would be getting the deal of a lifetime!" It was only a joke at the time, but somehow, her words came true. After I finish this one, I'll start a story about a powerful female lead and palace intrigue, The Golden Branch. To help the master she had admired since childhood, orphan Hua Yingxue was ordered to enter the palace. From then on, she was drawn into the struggle for the throne in the previous dynasty and the palace intrigues of the Great Yan court. Some people admired her, some feared her, some envied her, some tried to win her over, and others resented her and wanted her dead. But she would tread the golden branches through a thorn-filled world and bring the inner palace and the court alike under her thumb! Theme: With love in your heart, love will come in the end
