Gentle for Her [Entertainment Industry]

Wen Xun is the top music producer in the industry. Every song he works on becomes a hit, so countless singers want to work with him.

But just as famous as his name is his temper: arrogant, unruly, and prone to sudden outbursts. He's especially brutal during recording sessions, cursing people out until they feel like dogs.

With a face fit for the male lead of an idol drama, he has almost as many fans as the hottest stars. The only difference is that his fans aren't exactly a respectable bunch.

- Has Big Brother yelled at anyone today?

- Now you know why he's single, right? It's because of that mouth.

Then the paparazzi caught Wen Xun taking a late-night stroll with a mysterious woman.

Fans: ???

Chu Mian started out as a child star and became famous at a young age. Though she has a face that could topple kingdoms, she's aloof by nature and practically immune to scandals.

When an actor from her film crew tries to ride on her coattails, she shuts him down with a face-slapping comeback.

One day, a marketing account revealed that a certain A-list actress with a two-character name had been married with a child for a long time.

The hint was so obvious that netizens immediately started gossiping.

- Make up a rumor about someone else. I almost believed you.

- It's true, she's married to me.

Then a variety show did a surprise livestream at Wen Xun's recording studio, and Chu Mian came out of the inner room.

Sleepy-eyed, dressed in a long red gown and barefoot, she stood there and said, "I didn't know anyone was coming to your studio."

The livestream chat instantly went wild.

[???]

[My eyes must be playing tricks on me!!!]

[This can't be what I think it is...]

Then everyone watched the famously short-tempered man pick Chu Mian up in his arms. He treated her like a treasure, gently laying her down on the sofa.

"The floor's cold. You'll catch a cold."

After the two of them shot to the top of the trending searches, everyone waited for a response.

@Wen Xun: We're married, that's true. The child part isn't. If we have good news, we'll let everyone know.

Netizens: !!!

Reading guide:

[Next Contemporary Romance]: Rose Addiction [Entertainment Industry]

Wen Zheng has been an actress for three years. What made her famous wasn't her talent or her looks, but her scandals.

Spoiled rich girl, connections baby, demanding entourage: those are her labels, and they've earned her countless haters.

Wen Zheng feels wronged. None of those labels fit her. The real culprit behind all this is her older brother, Wen Song.

When she rebelled and entered the entertainment industry, Wen Song not only set countless rules for her, but also arranged for a crowd of people to take care of her whenever she went on location. Her entourage was bigger than the director's.

Over time, all kinds of rumors spread.

To get back at her brother, Wen Zheng secretly signed up for a dating reality show.

Her plan was simple: if he wouldn't let her date, she'd flirt up a storm on the show just to drive him crazy.

As the head of the Jinyue Group, Zhou Muchi is decisive and ruthless in business. Yet, by some quirk of fate, he has a refined, ascetic face.

A video of him getting out of a car went viral. In a black suit, he looked noble and aloof, outshining all the male stars in the entertainment industry.

No one expected him to join a dating show.

Even Wen Zheng was surprised. Zhou Muchi was her brother Wen Song's sworn enemy. They'd been at each other's throats since their school days.

But what shocked her even more was that Zhou Muchi chose her as the person he was interested in.

She immediately came up with an idea.

In a corner without cameras, Wen Zheng proposed to him, "I heard you can't stand my brother Wen Song. What a coincidence, neither can I. Want to work together?"

Zhou Muchi: "Sure."

Wen Zheng, who had prepared countless arguments to persuade him: ???

*

When gossip-loving netizens heard Wen Zheng was joining a dating show, they tuned in for a laugh, while her haters sharpened their knives.

Instead, they saw Zhou Muchi constantly making advances toward her.

- Mr. Zhou, blink twice if you've been kidnapped.

- Boring. A bunch of people playing along with the spoiled heiress.

When Wen Song heard about it, he was so furious he nearly died on the spot and rushed over.

"Stay away from my sister!"

"Okay."

Then, on the show, Zhou Muchi took Wen Zheng's hand of his own accord and competed for the chance to go on dates with her.

*

After the show aired, Wen Zheng's reputation completely changed. She gained countless fans, and her ship with Zhou Muchi became a fan favorite.

Netizens went from disapproval to being completely won over in just a month.

- Zhengzheng is cute and charming. Anyone who dislikes her has terrible taste!

- The Wen Zhou ship is so good!

- I refuse to believe Mr. Zhou's acting is that good. He's obviously showing his true feelings!

When filming ended, Wen Zheng decided they should go their separate ways.

But Zhou Muchi pulled her into that empty corner.

"You got to decide how it started, but you don't get to decide how it ends."

His gaze was intense. "I came here for you in the first place."

[Upcoming Contemporary Romance]: Lychee Sweet Kiss [Entertainment Industry]

Bo Li is famous across the internet for two reasons. First, her superb acting has won her award after award. Second, she was born with a stunning face that can draw fans just by showing up.

Fu Jichuan has a cool, aloof aura and is known as the Ice Flower of the industry. Though he's won countless awards, the paparazzi call him the most boring man around.

There's only one reason: his private life is completely uneventful, so even the paparazzi can't be bothered to follow him.

But one look exchanged between Bo Li and Fu Jichuan at an awards ceremony became the most popular moment in fan edits of their ship. They also topped the poll for the couple fans most wished had gotten together.

Unfortunately, when a reporter asked Bo Li whether there was a chance she'd work with Fu Jichuan, she replied coldly, "We don't know each other. We won't be working together."

*

A variety show announced its guests, shocking the entire internet: Bo Li and Fu Jichuan were both on the list.

- Weren't they supposed to never work together?

- The couple I ship is finally in the same frame!

- Can the shippers wake up? They don't even know each other.

But on the show, Fu Jichuan knew Bo Li's favorite fruit, knew she was allergic to peanuts, and even knew she got cranky when woken up.

He was affectionate and proactive with her. Compared to the other guests, his double standard was glaring.

Netizens: ???

Shippers: They don't know each other? I'm about to start making things up!

*

The atmosphere between them on the show was practically that of a dating program, but sadly, things never went any further.

For a while, netizens lamented and shippers cried.

Then, after a film awards ceremony, a reporter photographed Bo Li getting into a car. A hand reached out from inside, its joints clearly defined. It was obviously a man's hand.

That night, the topic exploded on the trending searches.

Shippers quickly dug up several photos as proof that the hand might belong to Fu Jichuan.

But they were mocked by everyone.

- Stop being delusional. They haven't been in touch since the show ended.

- Shippers still haven't given up? Honestly, kind of pathetic...

- Looks like the rumors were right. Bo Li really does have powerful connections.

Then Bo Li posted a statement.

@Bo Li: My driver, @Fu Jichuan

A few seconds later:

@Fu Jichuan: Is it against the law to pick my wife up from work?

Netizens: Wait, was I the one being delusional this whole time???
