Name: I Only Like Your Character: Showbiz
Author: Zhi Chu

Synopsis

Xia Xiqing is cool and dominant to the core, a flirtatious playboy who fools everyone with his angelic face. But he lets his true nature show in front of his idol, and things go wrong at first sight.

Xia Xiqing: I really like you.

Zhou Ziheng: Get the hell away from me.jpg

Yet his beauty, glimpsed for just three seconds in the audience at a press conference, launches him into the spotlight as a fan of Zhou Ziheng. He trends alongside his idol, appears on a reality show, and… yes, exactly what you’re thinking.

But this isn’t how Xia Xiqing imagined things going.

He thought he was hooking an unrivaled Alpha from the entertainment industry. Once he saw through the public persona, he found a pure-hearted, arrogant little brat. He thought he was playing the “I sleep with my idol” role, but in the end, his idol slept with him.

Now that’s exciting. [lights cigarette]

Xia Xiqing: Didn’t you hate me most of all? Why are you holding on and refusing to let go?

Zhou Ziheng: I take it all back.

Angel-faced, dominant and brazen shou VS all-around dominant gong with the pure heart of an angel

[Warnings]:

1. The shou is a man who embodies every reader’s red flag! He was a promiscuous top in the past, with no romantic history and no exes, but he does have experience. He never reverses roles. Early on, his personality differs from the way he appears on the surface; he’s arrogant about his talent, but actually feels inferior inside. If you don’t like this, please don’t read. I’m begging you: it’s really awkward to read two chapters and then curse at the character.

2. The shou has an avoidant attachment style and can’t form healthy romantic relationships with others, which is why he has no exes.

3. Both the gong and shou are outrageously idealized and self-indulgent characters. The whole story is unapologetically indulgent.

4. Please don’t stir up trouble elsewhere. Keep to your own circles. No excessive recommendations or over-the-top praise.

5. Please don’t compare this to other novels, or use this novel to put other novels down. Just enjoy the story.

6. No real-life inspirations. Please don’t change the characters’ faces or infringe on my rights.

Theme: Love gives people a new lease on life.
