The short story Willful [Entertainment Industry] is currently being serialized. Visit my author page to read it. Blurb: At an academic conference, Shi Qian stood onstage discussing a case history. He wore an expensive custom-tailored suit that accentuated his tall, lean figure. One hand resting on the lectern, the man's low, magnetic voice flowed through the hall. He looked aloof and chaste, captivating the young women in the audience. During a break in the conference. Woman A: "I heard Professor Shi is 32, has never dated, and is very proper in private. He's practically a rare flower on a high mountain in the medical world." Woman B: "I really want to go hit on him. What should I do?" Gong Xiaodai glanced up at the man onstage as he organized his papers. Without blushing or missing a beat, she straightened up and joined the gossip in the front row, speaking in a low voice: "I heard that rare flower on the mountain has already been picked. An old bull eating young grass." She paused, then continued, "His little girlfriend is a handful, so he has to indulge and pamper her. She has no status or standing, and sleeps on the floor every night." That evening, the man admired her delicate, pale pink earlobe. He lowered his head and gave her a sidelong look, asking with a half-smile, "A handful?" Gong Xiaodai's heart skipped a beat. Bracing herself, she put an arm around his neck and boldly asked in return, "Do you think I'm a handful?" Shi Qian gave a soft scoff. His large hand clasped her slender waist, his eyes gentle and indulgent, his voice hoarse. "You are, but I like it!" "I love the way you act without restraint in my life!"

Passionate little minx × scheming CEO who takes pretend romance for real Blurb: For the sake of her story, Xia Wanxing drafted a dating contract and decided to find a man to experience it firsthand. Han Xuchen, CEO of Xingguang Pictures, was the ideal candidate. A former soldier, disciplined and strict with himself, with an impressive bearing. Most importantly, he was cool and distant, and didn't get involved with women. The man glanced over the contract, one eyebrow lifting. --A hug: 688 yuan. --Holding hands: 888 yuan. --A kiss: 1,688 yuan. In any of these cases, the woman must pay the man the fee stipulated in the contract. He gave a dismissive laugh and tossed the contract back. "Sorry, I don't make money this way." Xia Wan smiled unconcernedly, her eyes curving. "We both get what we want. You want my copyright, and I want inspiration." She pushed the agreement toward him, her voice soft and enticing. "Sign this, and you won't just get the rights to my work. You can have me, too!" Han Xuchen silently sized up the kitten who had no claws but insisted on pretending to be a thousand-year-old fox. After a moment's thought, he added a clause to the agreement: --Sleeping together: 10 million yuan per time. Xia Wanxing's mouth twitched. This man was getting way ahead of himself! Later, a huge sum of money suddenly appeared in Xia Wanxing's bank account. The man lightly pinched her chin, his scorching breath brushing past her ear. With a half-smile, he asked, "The money's been paid. When are you going to honor the contract?" #FakeDatingTrueFeelings# #AShowThatWasOnlySupposedToBePhysicalButYouSecretlyCaughtFeelings# Theme:
