Obsessive Flame

[Coming next from Xian Yan: "Loved You Before [Showbiz]" - a top-tier star couple's flirty daily life. Visit my author page to save it.] [Blurb:] Ruan Gantang woke up one morning with her memories reset to when she was sixteen. She had lost eight years of memories, and forgotten the person she had loved with all her heart for eight years. Her father handed her divorce papers and made up an excuse to get her to sign. Ruan Gantang signed with a flourish, cursing as she went. "Jerk!" The next day, she fell for newly popular rock vocalist Yan Jiahan and began her life as a fan. She booked VIP seats and invited her friends to Yan Jiahan's concert. She flew everyone to Paris on a private jet to support Yan Jiahan's overseas music festival debut. She booked out an island hotel, where she happened to run into Yan Jiahan while on vacation. Someone watched silently from the shadows. He waited until she was alone in the rain after a concert so he could hold an umbrella over her. When she got drunk at a celebratory banquet in Paris, he carried her back to the hotel. When someone started a fight at an island party, he stepped in to protect her. Ruan Gantang: "Who are you?" Until one day, she woke from a dream beneath the Dunhuang murals, where they had weathered the elements together. Someone whispered in her ear, "I love you, Tangtang." His kiss fell like a fine rain, new shoots broke through the earth, and the mud clinging to her was washed away. Ruan Gantang took back everything that belonged to her with her own hands. This man was merely a servant at her feet. [Amnesiac painter. Spoiled heiress with a nouveau riche fortune vs. restrained obsessive.

They spent little time together, and one day each heard that the other had found someone new. Both felt relieved and said they understood. They could get a divorce amicably. However, their agency took a hard line. Worried that the negative impact of the divorce would hurt Ruan Jiayu's popularity, they came up with a plan: have her cultivate a devoted-lover image and pin the blame on Lu Beifeng. So Ruan Jiayu posted a handwritten statement on her own, the crumpled paper faintly marked with tears: [Our roads have reached their end. Those who come after may still pursue their paths. I wish you well.] She paired it with a photo of the enormous diamond ring Lu Beifeng had used to propose, with the signed auction agreement in the background. As expected, the post shot to the top of the trending list, and fans expressed their heartbreak. [She's even auctioning off her wedding ring? It must be that scumbag @LuBeifengV who let our fish down!] [Waaaaah, Fishy, don't be sad. Mama loves you.] [Sell it quick, so you can get the next one.] [Her handwriting is so pretty, mad respect. Mama loves you!] An hour later, @LuBeifengV posted too: [Heh. I'm auctioning off our marital home!] The photo showed the couple's luxury home on a mountaintop. The trending topics exploded. After a heated debate between both fandoms, they reached a consensus, and the two topics merged into one at the top of the list: [We Loved Each Other. @RuanJiayuV @LuBeifengV] At a live variety show, Ruan Jiayu linked arms with her young, handsome companion and adjusted her sunglasses. Lu Beifeng had his girlfriend, a young assistant, following behind him, and took a thermos from her with a tender smile. Ruan Jiayu spoke first. "My ex-husband is still as handsome as ever." Lu Beifeng glanced at the young man beside her. "Your taste isn't that great." "..." That afternoon, Lu Beifeng cornered Ruan Jiayu behind a wall, out of camera range. "So which of us is better, me or that pretty boy?" Ruan Jiayu: "H-honey... I haven't turned off my mic..." [An old flame rekindles. It's not really a broken relationship, just a period of coldness.
