The Movie Emperor, My Seductive Top, Is the Ultimate Master of the Game

[I was sick for days after testing positive again, and suddenly lost the feel for writing this... Updates will be slow... I bow deeply.] 1. Nian Yao is a top-tier star in the music industry, yet the most hated person in showbiz. Not only is he entering an arranged marriage with his family's sworn enemy, but his partner is Su Ye, the industry's most irresistible heartthrob. Su Ye is a rising film star with peerless looks and a masterful flirt. He seems refined, but carries a dangerously alluring charm. Nian Yao thought he only had to go through the motions of the marriage, but then he found Su Ye insisting on putting the ring on his finger himself, using him as the target when demonstrating how to seduce someone, and flirting with him in every word and gesture. Nian Yao's expression was cool, but the tips of his ears were bright red. "Do you really have to flirt with me every chance you get?" Su Ye looked at ease. "It's called getting into character." Nian Yao: Fine. Let's see how long you can keep acting. When it was Nian Yao's turn to act opposite Su Ye, they had a kissing scene. He'd heard Su Ye always faked his on-screen kisses. Nian Yao closed his eyes and waited for Su Ye to phone it in. Instead, he felt warm, soft lips. Su Ye's usual composure and gentleness vanished, replaced by a forceful kiss filled with long-suppressed feelings and a frenzied possessiveness. When the kiss ended, Su Ye's gentle, refined smile returned. "I got carried away. That counts as a bad take. Want to do it again?" Nian Yao: What is wrong with you?? 2. Nian Yao and Su Ye had always been rivals who stayed out of each other's way. Then a photo bursting with chemistry appeared out of nowhere and somehow sparked a ship between them. Hardcore fans: Why are you pairing the nation's dream man with showbiz's biggest nuisance?! Passersby: This ship is so bizarre, it's in the Arctic Circle. How can anyone ship them?? Gradually, people discovered that Nian Yao seemed cold and aloof, but was actually a socially awkward, touchy-feely little tsundere. A single flirtatious remark was enough to make his ears turn red. He was so cute it made people's hearts quiver. He seemed stern, but was conscientious and responsible, a jack of all trades who kept improving at a dizzying pace. The person who made Nian Yao blush the most was, of all people, his bizarre shipmate Su Ye. Whenever they appeared together, Su Ye's face was nowhere to be seen. He carried things for Nian Yao, fixed his hair, and looked like he wanted to feed him every bite. You could feel how utterly doted on Nian Yao was, even through the screen. And it was as if some invisible hand were at work. Nian Yao's negative news was overturned, and the industry's most hated man kept shining brighter until he became everyone's darling and the new heartthrob. His hardcore fans were so overwhelmed by the sweetness that they lost it, accusing Nian Yao of leeching off Su Ye and telling him to get lost and go back where he came from. Su Ye simply posted a photo of their rings and made it official: "Borrowing a little of my husband's attention. I hear my husband and I are called a bizarre ship. @Nian Yao, are we not affectionate enough? Maybe tonight..." The whole internet erupted: Tonight what? Spit it out! The fans who had been shipping them so hard they were ready to lose their heads teared up with joy: We knew they were real! 3. After their contract marriage turned into a real marriage, Nian Yao accidentally stumbled across Su Ye's hidden folder. It was full of countless photos and videos of Nian Yao, collected over the course of several years. Nian Yao: So much for just being good at acting?? Su Ye hooked an arm around his waist. His smile still seemed as gentle as ever, but his eyes burned with a dangerous infatuation. "You found something you weren't supposed to see. How are you going to make it up to me?"

The story starts with the push and pull of a marriage in name only. They get their marriage certificate and move in together after 50,000 words. 2.

No real-life person served as a model. - Please add The Little Nobody Returns at Full Level to your to-read list 1. Si Lanli is breathtakingly beautiful and extraordinarily gifted at acting. When his mother died, he hurried home only to find her ashes. His stepmother came into the house with her stepson, marking the beginning of all the darkness. The company boss got involved with his stepbrother, drugged Si Lanli, and nearly had him sexually assaulted. When Si Lanli refused, he was promptly blacklisted. His boyfriend broke off their engagement and turned around to propose to his stepbrother. When Si Lanli tried to stop him, his father actually said, "They're in love. Don't get in their way." His childhood friend was manipulated by his stepbrother into betraying him, then slashed his face with a knife, keeping the talented actor from ever appearing on camera again. In the end, he discovered that his mother's depression had already begun to ease, but after she witnessed his father having an affair with his stepmother, she broke down and killed herself... Si Lanli leaped from the rooftop, then suddenly realized: Why should I be the one to die? A mechanical voice sounded: "Redemption System bound. Host's first mission is..." After completing nine difficult redemption missions with exceptionally high scores, Si Lanli returned to his original world. The moment he opened his eyes, his boyfriend was pretending to be heartbroken. "Let's break up. I don't want to hold you back..." His ex thought Si Lanli would only cry, but the person before him seemed like someone else entirely, more radiant and beautiful than ever. Si Lanli looked at him with scorn, even pity. System: "Final mission. If you redeem your target, you can keep living and receive a top-tier reward." "On the other hand, any failure could send you back to the suicide ending, with no chance of revival." 2. Bai Si is exceptionally handsome and a powerful magnate. The first time he noticed Si Lanli, Si Lanli was exposing the countless grievances at his stepbrother's engagement party, bringing the celebration to an abrupt end. That figure was magnificent, free-spirited, dazzling, and lethally alluring, like a god descending with a thunderbolt. Not long after, Si Lanli got into his car. His beautiful features were painted in vivid colors, and his faint smile was irresistible. "Would you like to work with me?" Si Lanli signed with Bai Si's new company, and his career took off. Every so often, he let slip a little flirtation toward Bai Si. Bai Si: "Sorry, you're really not my type." Si Lanli: What a shame. Never mind, then. As the number of his suitors grew, Bai Si couldn't sit still. He thought about Si Lanli day and night, and increasingly felt that Si Lanli was exactly his type. What a shame. It would be hard to pursue him now. 3. Before long, Si Lanli had reached the pinnacle of wealth, fame, and status. Standing atop the very building he had once fallen from, he seemed to gaze down upon his own kingdom. The underlings and powerful men who had helped his stepbrother now fawned over Si Lanli, treating his stepbrother like garbage. His father apologized frantically and showered him with gifts, begging Si Lanli to come home, while kicking his stepmother and stepbrother out. His ex and stepbrother turned on each other like dogs fighting over a bone, then knelt at Si Lanli's feet, begging him to look at them again. His stepmother and stepbrother were terrified to their core. They begged Si Lanli to show mercy, looking so wretched and pitiful. But once he exposed their lack of remorse, they went berserk and demanded to know how much money it would take for him to let them off. Their future held only one path, leading to the pitch-black abyss of hell. Core theme: Though we are so different, our hearts are in perfect harmony
