My Fiancé Is the Nation's Dream Guy [Entertainment Industry]

My new novel, Deep Affection, is now available. Visit my author page to read it.

Blurb:

At eighteen, Xia Xi accidentally switched bodies with Zhu Tang, who had jumped into a river. Rescued from the water but left with amnesia, she believed she was Zhu Tang.

Four years later, a car accident sent her back into her own body, and she became Xia Xi again.

By then, the name Xia Xi stood for a temperamental actress with terrible acting skills, whose every project flopped. She was notorious for using co-star pairings for publicity, stealing others' limelight, and picking fights, and had managed to offend half the entertainment industry. She was a pretty face with nothing else to offer.

Meanwhile, movie emperor Gu Yanluo was the nation's unanimously beloved male idol, with an excellent reputation and friends throughout the industry.

In the public eye, the two had practically nothing to do with each other.

That is, until rumors spread that Xia Xi would star in a certain drama, whose male lead had already been announced as Gu Yanluo.

A: Which C-lister is trying to ride our oppa's coattails?

B: No publicity stunts! Leave Luoluo alone, we're not interested!

C: XX is leeching off him again. Our poor idol.

As the internet erupted, Gu Yanluo posted on Weibo: "Looking forward to working together, @Xia Xi"

Everyone: ????

Soon afterward, behind-the-scenes footage from the drama showed Gu Yanluo looking after Xia Xi with great care. People began to speculate that he liked her.

A: Impossible.

B: Impossible.

C: Impossible.

Gu Yanluo posted another photo of the two of them on Weibo: "My fiancée, @Xia Xi"

Everyone was once again in an uproar. They all assumed Xia Xi had pursued him and thought she must have saved the world in her previous life.

Until his friends in the industry started congratulating them:

Friend A: After years of chasing her, you finally won her over. I've shed a tear for you. Lao Gu, it wasn't easy~

Friend B: I can confirm Gu Yanluo made the first move.

Friend C: Remember when someone bought flowers for the entire production team just to give Miss Xia a bouquet? Now he can give her flowers openly.

The gossipmongers dropped their jaws: Gu Yanluo was the one who made the first move?

A C-list actress and the nation's beloved idol. A childhood-sweetheart love story, with the hero chasing his wife until he hits rock bottom.

Blurb for Deep Affection:

After the Jiang family fell into decline, they planned to use Jiang Mo as a bargaining chip in a marriage alliance to save the beleaguered Jiang Group. Everyone kicked them while they were down, waiting to see Jiang Mo make a fool of herself.

Then fashion magnate Lu Yunhe announced that he would marry into the Jiang family.

The news caused an uproar. Some speculated that Lu Yunhe had ulterior motives for marrying Jiang Mo, and conspiracy theories ran rampant.

Netizens: Letting a wolf into the house.

Haters: Selling herself for favors.

Rivals: A trade for resources.

Jiang Mo: What's it to you? If you don't like it, keep it to yourself!

Rumor had it that Lu Yunhe and Jiang Mo were a miserable couple brought together by money and power, so distant they might as well be strangers.

One day, a popular variety show invited Lu Yunhe to join a video call. As the show was being livestreamed, the laptop suddenly snapped shut, leaving the screen black.

A woman's voice came through the still-live microphone: "No more working late. How can you hug me while you're holding your laptop?"

A man's voice, indulgent and helpless: "Mo Mo, I'm on a livestream."

After a rustle of movement, the video came back. Lu Yunhe's collar was slightly rumpled. "That's all for today. The little cat at home is acting up."

Jiang Mo, hiding behind the camera: Meow~

#Wait, Mr. Lu, aren't you allergic to cat hair?#

#Is your cat named Jiang Mo?#

#Can this cat walk the runway?#

Reunited after parting, a dazzling beauty and a refined gentleman.

Theme: Given another chance, I would still love you.
