You Don't Really Want to Pursue Me, Do You? [Showbiz]

[I'm truly sorry. Family matters have kept me distracted for far too long, and I just can't get back into the right frame of mind for this book. I've applied to remove it from paid status. Once that's done, I'll revise the earlier chapters and slowly fill in the plot holes.] Bottom, feel-good and sweet, with a reborn top. When Xia Xingran was eighteen, a suitor suddenly appeared in his life. The man was a full twelve years older than him, handsome and distinguished, with an illustrious family background. They belonged to completely different worlds. Xia Xingran's first thought was: This can't be real. It's too surreal. I wouldn't even dare dream about something like this. But little by little, he realized the man had made so many plans for his sake and had quietly given so much without expecting anything in return. He didn't act like someone who wanted to date him. He acted like someone preparing to take care of his wife. Xia Xingran: ...He can't really be trying to woo me, can he? * When Lu Chen fell in love with Xia Xingran, Xia was a celebrated actor who had won the Best Actor award both at home and abroad. He was refined, easygoing, and good with people, like a flawless piece of fine jade from Lantian. After unexpectedly being reborn, the first thing Lu Chen did was: Get back to China right away. Find Xia Xingran and make him his as soon as possible. Lu Chen tracked down Xia Xingran's high school, expecting to meet a gentle, well-behaved boy. Instead, as soon as he got out of the car, he caught the object of his affections climbing over the wall to skip class. Young Xia Xingran looked utterly unruly as he straddled the wall and raised an eyebrow at him. "Hey, mister, could you move? You're in my way." Lu Chen: "..." Well, he certainly was "well-behaved." It turned out Xia Xingran wasn't a piece of natural jade at all. He was a completely untamed, stubborn rock. It was just that before meeting Lu Chen, life's storms had already worn down all his rough edges. Lu Chen quietly watched the eighteen-year-old Xia Xingran, bright with youthful defiance, and made a decision in his heart. He would protect him and spoil him, keep him from fear and hardship, and let him be mischievous, unruly, and utterly free in the palm of his hand for the rest of his life. One-on-one before and after being reborn. All sweetness, no angst, happy ending. A seemingly deep and serious, actually scheming love-struck top x a gorgeous bottom with extraordinary talent and a strong work ethic. Note: An unpretentious, feel-good indulgence. The author has made up a mountain of details, and logic takes a back seat to the plot. There are both career and romance storylines. I'm writing what I like, and I'd be so happy if you like it too! [Coming Soon] I Have Plenty More Substitutes Like You The cat who had been with Shen Yizhou for nearly ten years died. Shen Yizhou broke down in tears and couldn't shake the grief for days. At his manager's suggestion, he adopted a "stray cat" that often turned up on the film set. The new kitten was pure white, clever, and beautiful, and looked just like the white moonlight from a novel. But Shen Yizhou was like a heartless playboy who'd found a substitute to comfort himself, still grieving for his lost pet. That night, cuddling the kitten as he chatted with his manager, he texted: [I miss Daidai so much. Daidai used to love being held like this, too.] Meanwhile, Zhong Xiu, a nine-tailed fox who had taken the form of a cat, sat in his arms and snapped at his subordinate, who was begging him to come back. "Look at how much he likes me now. Do you think I can leave? You have no idea how much he needs me!" Subordinate: ...At a loss for words.gif Help, how do I tell the boss that the other guy has adopted several more cats while away filming...? * The day the truth came out, Zhong Xiu trembled from head to toe. He was the mighty nine-tailed fox, an ancient deity, and he'd been mistaken for a pet's substitute! "Take a good look at my tails!" Zhong Xiu pinned him to the bed and made him touch every one. "Could that stinking cat's fur ever be as smooth as mine?! How am I not better than it?!" Shen Yizhou: "...You're smooth, you're silky. Your fur is the softest." Zhong Xiu slapped his tail in a rage. "One of me isn't enough for you, so you had to bring home all those other cats too?! Was I not a good enough substitute?!" Shen Yizhou: "...All right, all right. You're wonderful. Be good and listen to me. Let me get out of bed first." Theme: If I'd known I'd love you this much, I would have run to you the first time we met.
