A Laid-Back Rise to the Top [Showbiz]

Supporting actor Ruan Yang accidentally marries a big shot who was once an award-winning actor before leaving the industry to work behind the scenes as an investor. Other people's big shots are all this and that, straight out of a domineering CEO romance. But the big shot in his life... (so disappointing!) The big shot makes sure he memorizes his lines in the morning! The big shot makes sure he acts well at noon! The big shot brings him nourishing soup on set in the evening! He's practically a life mentor, a guiding light for his career, and a wonderful partner in life... Ruan Yang: "(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Where's the domineering CEO I was promised?" A few months later In the middle of the night, he picks up the drunk big shot and takes him home. Reaching out to catch him... By the dim light inside the car, Ruan Yang sees a red tail. I, I... I married a bright red dragon??? When excited, the big shot reveals his dragon horns and tail. He says excitedly, "What should we do? You've found out. Steamed or braised?" Ruan Yang: "I choose... a different way of eating." After accepting this setup Ruan Yang starts to feel that something is off about all the 'big shots' in the entertainment industry...! From actors to directors and producers, from actors to models, in front of the camera and behind the scenes... they seem to be not human at all! [Dragon gong: outwardly serious, secretly flirtatious, with an incredibly powerful background] X [Shou: delicate and soft, can do a backflip, laid-back on the outside but full of snark on the inside] ※This is an original light novel, listed under the derivative works category. ※Warnings: Naive shou. Terrible writing, don't be a killjoy (I've been devoted to cute, weak shou for a hundred years). There is a secondary couple, but they get little page time. ※Important: The logic serves the romance plot. The author's made-up setting is extensive. This is not the real entertainment industry, so don't connect the novel to reality. Recommended finished works by the author "The Domineering Ghost Won't Leave Me Alone" and "Quick Transmigration: Picking Up a Loyal Dog" are both long reads!
