(Showbiz revenge and cathartic power-up story)
(I couldn't come up with a good title, so you'll have to get the gist. The blurb might get a few tweaks too!)
Agent Xiao A spent the best years of his life making his boyfriend a Best Actor. When success finally came, his boyfriend brought home a contractual marriage partner and said, "Baby, you have to help me."
Xiao A drank all night. In the end, unable to let go of the feelings he'd invested in the relationship, he fell into a cycle of compromise.
Until it cost him his life.
The high beams of an SUV shone in his face. The impact was violent, and the car plunged off a cliff. Xiao A's only thought wasn't that he would never meet his boyfriend again in his next life... It was that in his next life, he would definitely hack him to death!!!
There was no next life.
Xiao A slammed down onto a human cushion that had appeared for no apparent reason in the middle of nowhere. The cushion saved his life.
While waiting for an ambulance, Xiao A anxiously checked the human cushion's injuries. The moon emerged from the clouds, shining bright. Xiao A caught sight of the cushion's face and stared, dumbstruck.
Black hair and pale skin, a perfectly proportioned figure, handsome and refined features. Even with pain creasing his brow, he still had the air of a mountain standing tall and a deep pool at rest.
His professional instincts kicked in. Agent Xiao A grabbed the man's hand, eyes blazing. "You! Do you want to be a Best Actor?"
"!?" The man was so startled that, despite his injuries, he jerked upright as if near death. "I would never dare call myself an emperor!"
Xiao A: "...Huh?"
The Crown Prince, who never got to sit on the throne in his previous life, was naturally flirtatious and loved composing poetry. Every day he'd recite a poem to a pretty young man, hoping to win his heart.
Xiao A, who used to complain every day that his ex-boyfriend had no sense of romance, couldn't take it anymore. Blushing, he dragged him along to a business dinner.
At the table, a director sneered, "Xiao X, is this the new boyfriend you're promoting?"
Xiao A was about to smile and deny it when the gong answered at once, "Yes."
Everyone: "..."
The shou: "..."
The shou dragged the gong outside and gave him a stern lecture: A Best Actor can't come out, or he'll be executed!
The gong widened his eyes. "But I love you. How could I hide it?"
Xiao A was left speechless, his face and ears burning. All he could say was that he'd be executed...
"Then let them execute me."
The gong's tone was mild. His gaze drifted away, and his expression darkened for a moment, like a surging whirlpool beneath a calm sea.
Click.
Xiao A put down his phone and admired the photo. "He really does look good. I'll send this to the director. This role is definitely ours."
The former Crown Prince: "…"
The scum gong had held the Best Actor throne for less than two years before the next wave swept him off his feet.
Countless people gossiped about the legendary agent's influence, saying he could make anyone a Best Actor as easily as playing a game, then drop them just as easily. If the gong really made it to the top one day, would they be heading for a breakup too?
The night the gong heard the rumor, Xiao A was being worked until he was screaming and bristling. Sweat dripped down his body as he shouted, "Go win your award! I'm not breaking up with you! ...Damn it, are you doing this on purpose!? If you don't become an emperor already, I'm dumping you right now!"
(This is mainly a story about someone from ancient times transmigrating to the modern day and taking revenge. In his previous life, the gong was a Crown Prince devoted to the arts. He liked men but refused to compromise, and was eventually murdered in a plot by his brothers. After transmigrating here, he discovers that openly showing off his same-sex relationship won't get him killed, so he lets loose. When serious, he's the smiling tiger type, and he's very clever too.)
(The shou is an extremely career-driven, cool-headed professional on the outside.)
