Sweet Days with the Movie Star

#A week after getting married, she discovers her spouse is a male star??#

#What is it like to “steal” your best friend's idol?#

[Ordinary woman outside the entertainment industry x top-tier male star / Married first, fall in love later, no real-life inspiration]

As an otaku, Su Ying works as a photographer and spends her free time following manga. She doesn't know a single male star in the entertainment industry.

In July, she set off on a journey with her camera on her back. In a little church in Southampton, England, she made the boldest decision of her life: a sh-sh... a shotgun wedding...

It wasn't until a week later, when Su Ying casually picked up an entertainment magazine, that she froze. It was one thing for her husband to share a name with a top-tier star, but why did he look exactly like him, too...

After returning to China, Su Ying told her childhood friend that she'd married her idol.

Her friend laughed until her stomach hurt and refused to believe her.

“Married? You're a wife fan, right? I'm a real-mom fan, so by rounding things up, I'm a whole generation above you!”

One day, news broke on Weibo that award-winning actor Shen Zeyan was married.

The whole internet erupted. His fans cried out, “Impossible! Our brother only loves his work!”

Then, on his birthday, Shen Zeyan interacted with his fans via livestream for the first time.

He didn't say much or smile much. Throughout the stream, he simply chose questions from viewers and answered them in a reserved, proper manner. Just as his cool, aloof image was once again taking root in everyone's minds, people realized that the “old-fashioned gentleman” had forgotten to turn off the livestream.

Over the next few minutes, millions of viewers witnessed Shen Zeyan pin a young woman against the wall, then tease her until her legs went weak.

Viewers in the livestream: ...

What happened to the old-fashioned gentleman? What happened to the cool, aloof guy?

[1] Ruan Xi has had an idol she likes for a long time: Ji Xiuping.

She bought all his albums and collected every piece of merchandise. On a sweltering summer night, she even sat in a stadium with a support banner, shouting along with the other young fans, “We will always love you, brother!”

When she learned that Ji Xiuping had suffered mild damage to his vocal cords and needed time to recover, Ruan Xi spent a long time feeling down as she read the statement from his studio.

Perhaps they really were connected by fate. A week later, Ruan Xi temporarily lost her sight.

[2] The Ruan and Ji families have been family friends for generations, but despite their parents' plans for them to marry, the two had never met for various reasons. When Ruan Xi returned from the hospital in a wheelchair, wearing sunglasses, her mother told her that the families had arranged for her to live with Young Master Ji.

The first day they lived together.

Ruan Xi: “I'm worse off than you. I've temporarily lost my sight, and I have no plans to date or get married. So can we just be roommates?”

“...”

In the end, Ji Xiuping still wrote “Okay” on her palm with his finger.

And so, the two of them lived together as roommates, a man and a woman on their own, their days quiet and uneventful. That was until the day Ruan Xi regained her sight and walked into the wrong room.

In the sunlight, the man had taken off his shirt, revealing an almost perfect V-line.

He turned his head, his voice slightly husky. “Peeking at me while I change, hmm?”

Their eyes met, and Ruan Xi was dumbstruck.

When Lu Zhi was fifteen, she walked out of school with her backpack. That was the first time she met Fu Yufeng. The man looked at her with dark eyes, refined and elegant.

In that instant, she almost forgot to breathe.

“Are you Lu Zhi? I came to pick you up after school,” the man said.

The young girl blinked, unable to believe that a famous star was standing outside her school, waiting for her to finish class.

[2]

Fu Yufeng had become famous at a young age. He was a top star in the industry, cool and distinguished.

Yet that year, he turned down all his evening engagements. Even between recording sessions, he helped the young girl at home organize her study materials.

No one knew that on Lu Zhi's eighteenth birthday, Fu Yufeng, so cool and self-possessed in everyone else's eyes, had slightly reddened eyes as he slowly backed the young girl into a corner.

His voice was low and husky. “Don't fall for that boy. Dating so young will affect your studies.”

[3]

By family standing, Fu Yufeng was her elder, so from the day she fell for him, Lu Zhi kept her feelings buried in her heart.

She told no one. He was the deepest secret in her young heart.

She wrote him letters, and there were times she secretly cried. And then, eventually, her wish came true, and they found happiness together.
