Not That Deep [Entertainment Industry]

My upcoming novel, Mr. Jian Is Being Insincere Again, is also updating now. Come check it out!

After reading so many reviews, I don't know how to describe the top and bottom anymore. Let's just leave it at that.

Whether the bottom is a brat or the top is actually a jerk is in the eye of the beholder. But after meeting the bottom, the top only has eyes for him. Please don't make personal attacks on the characters (bows).

1v1, happy ending

Important: Slow burn. They don't start dating until near the end. Not a wish-fulfillment story!!!

From Rivals to Lovers

Blurb:

The eldest young master of Xingge Entertainment is rich and carefree, and countless people want to cling to him to climb the ladder.

Lin Wen decided to give it a try back then, and ended up falling for him.

Young Master Bai gives him all the money and resources he wants, but has no feelings for him.

One day, after a few drinks, Lin Wen finally comes to his senses. Deep feelings are useless in this world; I'd rather stick with money. There are gay men everywhere, so why obsess over this pig's trotter?

Six years later, Lin Wen has money and resources of his own. Bai Fan keeps getting tangled up with him professionally. He's long since fallen for Lin Wen, but his stubborn nature makes him deny it to the bitter end.

Lin Wen's new work trends:

Lin Wen: "Buy up all the Xingge trending topics for me. Make their artists run in second place!"

Bai Fan: "???"

Bai Fan is photographed at a drinks reception with a female performer.

Lin Wen: "Buy a trending topic and help him suppress it."

Bai Fan: "Baby, you still love me."

Lin Wen: "No, no... Hurry up and hype my ship with someone else!"

Bai Fan: "..."

Later:

Bai Fan: "...Listen, I want to pursue you now."

Lin Wen: "Not interested."

Check the potential squicks for yourself:

Slow burn.

Second chances after a breakup. They're lovey-dovey at first, then start butting heads (and trading barbs) in the middle.

The bottom pursues the top at first; later, the top pursues the bottom. It may give off the impression of a scummy top and a bratty bottom, but once they meet, it's strictly 1v1. No unattainable first love, no cannon fodder.

Neither the top nor the bottom is a white lotus. They've both made their way through the entertainment industry for years, climbing to the top through their own means.

No angst, just sweetness.

Neither character is based on a real person.

Theme: Turning the tables against the odds
