Sweet Surrender

Rekindled romance / entertainment industry / the male lead is so shameless it hurts

Everyone in the industry knows Jiang Chu and Xu Tingshen don't get along, but nobody knows why.

One online commenter speculated: "Did these two used to have a thing?"

Fans of both: Get lost. Not interested.

Then one day, the famous enemies were photographed entering and leaving a hotel together. Everyone said:

"It's more believable that they went to the hotel to fight than that they're together."

When an entertainment reporter interviewed Jiang Chu, she said expressionlessly, "Coincidence. I don't know him well."

After the banquet, they went home.

Xu Tingshen pulled off his tie and bound her hands behind her back. "How about I help you get to know me better? Hmm?"

Everyone waited for Xu Tingshen to deny the rumors.

No one expected Xu Tingshen, who had never been involved in a dating rumor, to start flaunting their relationship, openly and discreetly: a ring caught in a candid shot, matching outfits by coincidence, women's pajamas on the sofa, suspicious kiss marks on a certain actress's neck...

Manager: What did I do in a past life to deserve this? :)

"Love is the sweetest surrender between two people." -- Zhang Xiaoxian, translator of The Little Prince

Xu Tingshen's name comes from the phrase "deep in the courtyard, deeper still."

[The writing style is rough because I wrote this quite a while ago, and some parts may be a little illogical or use inappropriate wording. Still, this is the story where I felt the most inspired and in my element, and it's one of my own favorites.]
