Boss Su Is So Pretentious

“Before I met you, I thought I'd just muddle through the rest of my life. After meeting you... I think that even more!!”

Qian Xiyang, aka Beaten-Down-By-Life-sky, Poor Old Soul, West Ocean

Rugged, handsome straight guy x refined, fussy drama queen

At twenty-one, Qian Xiyang dreamed of becoming an actor! So, at thirty-one, he became an actor!

...Well, his boss's longtime lackey.

[Blurb One]

After hitting a dead end and realizing there was no way back, how do you save yourself?

Answer: Just make do. What else can you do, get a divorce?

As his boss's private chef, Qian Xiyang cooked for him, watered his flowers, and accompanied him on business trips. He thought life would pass by uneventfully, but then his boss helped him make a comeback!

Su Jiashang: “You might not believe this, but I'm going to be a future Best Actor.”

Qian Xiyang: “Stop talking. I really don't believe you.”

Su Jiashang: “Deduct...”

Qian Xiyang: “I believe you! My immortal brother will be nominated for an Oscar this year! He'll win Best Actor next year! The year after that, you'll sweep the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards!”

Su Jiashang: “...”

That's a bit over the top, buddy.

[Blurb Two]

Su Jiashang is a high-and-mighty beauty who became famous at a young age. He appeared in one beloved television drama after another and was the unattainable dream guy in countless people's hearts.

Then he went into movies.

From then on, the film industry was left with his legend: every movie he appeared in was rated either 3.1 or 4.7.

He was unhappy. He couldn't understand why everyone hated the scripts he had carefully chosen.

Qian Xiyang: “You have terrible taste.”

He was utterly pleased with himself. “The best decision you ever made was choosing me. I'll take the criticism with you.”

Su Jiashang covered his face. “Can I still return him?”

I Pretend to Be a Fish, He Wears a Secret Identity

Handsome powerhouse who pretends to be a lazy fish, as the bottom x beautiful fox who pretends to be human, as the top

Xu He has many labels: a lazy café employee who slacks off at work; the shining ace of H City's supernatural ability unit; and the boyfriend of Xie Baichuan, a business English teacher at Z University.

Ordered to pretend to be a lazybones, by day he's an idle café worker, and by night he's a cog in the machine that maintains peace.

For the sake of the boyfriend he loves, he signs a new confidentiality agreement. After five years, he'll be discharged and can return to his true self, spending a long, peaceful life with his boyfriend and enjoying the romance of growing old together.

But on the very last day, they break up.

Before he can recover from the heartbreak, a phone call summons him back to the organization.

In the office, the team leader points toward the back of a creature in the corner, with a whole bunch of fluffy tails behind it, and tells him that this is the young royal heir of the Fox Clan. He's extremely distinguished, and has been sent to their organization to earn merit and survive his lightning tribulation. Xu He is ordered to take good care of him.

The team leader says that foxes going through their tribulation are said to be ferocious and brutal. They eat evil spirits alive and tear apart wicked ghosts with their bare hands without batting an eye.

Then the fearsome beast turns around...

Holy crap! Isn't that his ex-boyfriend, the one he just broke up with?

He remembers how his once-fragile boyfriend used to roll up his sleeves, wash his hands, and cook. He loses his mind, shaking the team leader by the shoulders. “This? This is what you call a fox spirit?”

To pass his tribulation, Xie Baichuan had pretended to be cold and said all sorts of cruel things during their breakup, planning to humbly beg to get back together afterward. Now he's stunned too.

The team leader tells him that this ex-boyfriend, who can barely make it up five flights of stairs, is the shining ace of the supernatural ability unit?

Awkward. This is extremely awkward.

Regret. This is the deepest regret.

When paths cross, the brave prevail.

When every secret identity is exposed, both sides lose.
