An Ran, the sole heir to one of the country's most powerful families, a sunny puppy-like guy loved by everyone. Outsiders don't know they're the real and fake young masters of the An family, or that An Ran took Fu Sinian's place in life. But everyone knows they were childhood friends and a beloved couple. An Ran stood by Fu Sinian through his father's death, his debts, and the darkest days of his career. They had cherished one another, embraced passionately, been inseparable, and shared a bed. An Ran paid off Fu Sinian's debts and asked him to sign a repayment agreement that was practically a marriage contract, with a term of one lifetime. Fu Sinian once left the industry for An Ran, enduring a wave of online abuse and being blacklisted. The year they suddenly fell out and never spoke again, their fans were heartbroken: Even the closest of brothers can have a bad ending? Did they accidentally sleep together or something? Will we ever see them get married again, no, get back together? Years later, a same-sex dating show appeared out of nowhere. Fu Sinian and An Ran were both invited. Separated by the media, they each played it cool: "Just a coincidence, don't ask us about it. Whoever gets back together first is a dog." The shameless netizens happily grabbed their popcorn, waiting to see this long-dead couple glare at each other and come to blows on the show. But when the full episode aired, the screen filled with indescribable scenes: An Ran "accidentally" dropped an old photo of them together: He pulled open his bathrobe to reveal his smooth neck and let Fu Sinian practice signing his name on it. Fu Sinian "carelessly" revealed what was in his bag: He carried around the ironclad contract fans called the "Fu-An marriage contract," complete with a little heart sticker. Behind Fu Sinian's back, An Ran chatted with a male guest who was one of the actor's die-hard fans: "Oh, making the movie star a loving breakfast, are you? Back when he was so busy he couldn't manage three meals a day, I had to feed him myself. I know his tastes best. Let me teach you." Behind An Ran's back, Fu Sinian chatted with a male guest who was scheming to marry into wealth: "Oh, sending Director An private photos to lure him in, are you? When we were long-distance, I sent him so many photos and messages they couldn't all fit on one phone. I know better than anyone what he wants to see and hear. Let me teach you." The onlookers: ... Those early fans really had sharp eyes. How about we just cheer these two hopeless lovebirds on? There are several completed novels in my collection, ready to read. Got some time? Take a look around~
