The Capital's Rumor Mill

An entertainment-industry sweet romance, currently updating

"Playing My Part"

Gu Yu was born on the day of Minor Cold. Her elders said that children born in winter were afraid of the cold, wore thick clothes, and were lazy. Gu Yu went on to prove them right. She lived carefreely, with no favorite foods, no beloved movies, and not even a trace of warmth in the way she treated people.

Then she met Gu Huaichi, and it was as if passion had arrived in an instant. From then on, he was not only there on the cold screen, but also in her tender heart.

One day, a friend casually asked Gu Huaichi, "What exactly do you feel for Gu Yu?"

Gu Huaichi furrowed his brow and pondered for a long time before finally saying, "I'm repaying a debt of gratitude."

After learning the truth, Gu Yu quietly gathered herself and restored the distance between them.

Later, Gu Huaichi gazed deeply into her eyes and confessed earnestly, "You saved my life. I have to repay you by giving myself to you."

Story blurb:

The little beggar Ye An made a fortune by selling a piece of information by chance. Realizing there was money to be made, she opened an inn that traded in rumors. From then on, her daily work became lurking around various sources of information and digging up gossip! Digging up gossip! Digging up gossip!

One day, Han Qu was reading late into the night by lamplight in his study. Ye An hid beneath the window, carefully reconstructing the scene on paper and sending it back to the inn. The lampshade on the desk highlighted the theme and made the point clear. The next day, the whole city was abuzz: Shocking! The refined and elegant second young master of the Han family was playing cricket in his study late at night!

Another day, Han Qu was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, holding a horse stance with great energy and spirit. Ye An hid behind a tree, sketching his heroic bearing stroke by stroke and sending it back to the inn. The next day, rumors spread throughout the capital: Shocking! In broad daylight, the second young master of the Han family was actually "shy (la), shy (ba), shy (ba)"!

Han Qu: "..."

You ruined my lifelong reputation, so now I'll make you stay by my side for the rest of your life!
