Deep Affection [Entertainment Industry]

My next story, Heart Itch, is coming soon. Here's the blurb. [Everyone has something they want in life. She wants me because I'm Liang Yichi; I want her because she's the one in my heart. That's only fair.] 1. Newly debuted idol Jiang Yunong is gorgeous, sweet, and pure, but unfortunately she's a beautiful but boring ornament. On a girl group survival show, she can only rely on her looks and rich-girl persona to stay popular. Top-tier star Liang Yichi is a born winner and an untouchable beauty, but unfortunately, she doesn't have the best taste in people. She goes on a girl group variety show as a mentor, takes a liking to this empty pretty face, pays an enormous contract termination fee for her, and brings her into her own studio. Gossip reporters leap at the news, but after digging around, they find that the two have no private connection at all, apart from having attended the same high school, in different grades. Liang Yichi's fans assume their favorite star is just being kind despite her poor judgment. "Well, she's just helping out a junior and adding talent to her studio. There's nothing personal between them, so don't get the wrong idea." Jiang Yunong's fans anxiously wave the career-first banner. "Baby, work hard to improve your skills! Look up to Liang, but don't let her good looks go to your head! And Liang, please go easy on her. Our baby is so soft and sweet!" That night. Liang Yichi pins Jiang Yunong against her desk. "Soft and sweet?" Jiang Yunong smiles coyly, radiant as a bewitching temptress. "Didn't you know?" 2. Liang Yichi has only ever been dumped twice in her life. The first time, she spent the night with her first love. When she woke up, the woman had left without a word and vanished from her life. The second time, she handed a contract to Jiang Yunong. "You can ask for whatever terms you want." Jiang Yunong narrowed her eyes and tilted her head with a smile. "Anything I want? Then, Liang Yichi, let's break up." 3. "Sis, the media found out you're dating Liang!" her assistant cried in a panic. "Just say we've already broken up," Jiang Yunong replied calmly. "But Liang has already issued a statement..." "What did she say?" She said... Young love never works out. She's trying to win me back. [Lost in the world, they find comfort in each other.] New story: Heart Itch Shen Jiang is stunningly beautiful, yet naturally cold and indifferent. She cares only about winning and losing, gain and loss. Her family has worried since she was a child that she would end up alone for the rest of her life. Sure enough, Shen Jiang finishes medical school without ever having dated. When her father mistakenly believes he is gravely ill and has little time left, he tries to arrange a marriage so Shen Jiang will have someone to rely on for life. He expects her to refuse, but after taking one look at the proposed match, she agrees. They live together for six months, and their wedding is just around the corner when her fiance's first love, the woman he has always cherished, returns. He wants to break up. Shen Jiang takes one look at him and agrees again. ** Tan Sixuan comes from one of Jinghai's most prominent families and holds the lifeblood of its financial elite in his hands. Yet he is aloof and refined, like a Buddha untouched by the mortal world. Everyone in their circle knows he keeps himself pure only because he still loves a first love he can never have. Everyone assumed this great man would remain chaste and wait for his first love to return. So when they heard he was going to marry into the Shen family, they shook their heads with a sigh. "A cold beauty and an unfeeling Buddha. It doesn't get more tragic than that." Unexpectedly, the two got along well and soon moved in together, looking very much like a couple who would grow old together in perfect harmony. Someone asked Tan Sixuan if he had fallen for Shen Jiang. He replied mildly, "A Shen wants to marry me and spend her life with me. I can't give her love, so treating her well is only right." Later, his first love returned, and Tan Sixuan and Shen Jiang broke up in the blink of an eye. Everyone shook their heads again. Sure enough, arranged marriages had no real feelings in them. But not long afterward, someone captured this scene. In a private room at a club, Tan Sixuan cornered Shen Jiang in one end of the sofa, looking nothing like his usually composed self. The corners of his eyes were red, and his voice sounded almost plaintive. "A Shen, did you ever have feelings for me? Even just a little?" ** Tan Sixuan had always believed Shen Jiang was with him only because of their arranged marriage. Then one day, he found the tiny diary Shen Jiang had lost, wedged between the sofa cushions. Each page held only two short sentences. I fell for him. I'm happy. He got a girlfriend. I'm unhappy. I threw a pebble at him and his girlfriend. Happy, unhappy. His girlfriend left. So happy. … I'm going to marry him. Happy. He kissed me. Happy, unhappy. His girlfriend came back. Very unhappy. He asked if I ever had feelings for him. Very unhappy. I have loved you for ten years, and no one knows. But I, Shen Jiang, will never admit defeat. … He said he loves me. I won. So happy. [Loving you is a war I've fought alone.] [A Shen, you loved me for ten years. I'll give you the rest of my life.] Theme: Both fate and love should be in your own hands.
