Flames in My Palm [Entertainment Industry]

* A true big shot with a business empire, cold-hearted and devoted only to the heroine X the entertainment industry's most beautiful woman, a broke and hardworking former top actress who has truly fallen out of fame

[Completed]

-

1. At nineteen, Song Ruan shot to fame with her debut film, Interstellar Orbit. She landed countless endorsements, big and small, and won a string of prestigious awards. She was at the height of her career. Fans would later look back on that year as the "Song Ruan Year."

But after placing her trust in the wrong person, the rising star soon found herself in dire straits. False reports sent her career crashing, and four years slipped away for nothing. She ended up hated, scorned, and reviled by everyone.

By chance, Qin He caught sight of this star buried in the dirt. Captivated by her radiance, he carefully and solemnly held her in the palm of his hand.

Only later did he realize that Song Ruan was no star.

She was a flame in his palm. With one brilliant leap, she could set his boundless love ablaze. With one gentle glance, she could have all his flesh and blood, all the way down to his soul, at her mercy.

2. After making her comeback, the second "Song Ruan Year" arrived. The bright-eyed, beautiful woman attended an event, and amid a sea of flashing cameras, a reporter asked pointedly, "What gave you the courage to return to the screen?"

Song Ruan smiled faintly at the camera. Her red lips curled playfully, but her words were earnest and full of feeling.

"Someone told me that stars are meant to be looked up to.

So I climbed out of the mire, and went back up to hang in the sky for him."

Reader's Guide:

* No logic, the author is a goof, and the plot is melodramatic (really melodramatic, but so sweet!)

* Happy ending / love at first sight (I love a cliché)

* Special note: This story was originally planned to be around 200,000 words, but it underwent a major rewrite starting after Chapter 34. The author had personal matters to deal with and didn't update for nearly a month, so the early writing isn't as good as the later chapters. If you're not satisfied, little angels, feel free to check it out anyway~ ^ - ^

Another entertainment-industry novel in the same series: Tonight, the Stars Shine Bright

* A sweet and sassy girl-group ace with a naughty streak X a gentle, levelheaded, and absurdly powerful big shot who only pretends to be proper

1. On Qixi Festival, Ni Xingshan, a girl-group member who had made her name with her pure beauty, was hit by a bombshell scandal: the big shot from the Shen family, known for being indifferent to women in S City's financial circles, had apparently kept her for seven years without anyone knowing!

On the first day the news broke, rumors and public opinion ran rampant, with scorn and mockery everywhere. Faced with the whole internet cursing her out, Ni Xingshan kept diligently filming her solo promotional video, chatting and laughing with composure, seemingly unaffected by the rumors.

Then, a week later, the Shen family's corporate account appeared to have slipped up and revealed its true colors. It reposted a post about her first solo album and added a link to vote for her: "Fly high, Madam! The Shen family will always be with you!!!"

The gleeful onlookers: ...What the heck???

Just as netizens were left utterly baffled, the man at the center of the rumors suddenly appeared. His verified account, which had been inactive for years, posted a photo of their fingers interlocked, along with a brief message: "Thanks for your concern. She isn't my mistress. I'm courting her."

Half an hour later, he edited the post and added: "I've won her over. We'll get engaged right away."

The stunned crowd exchanged looks, put away their baffled old-man-on-the-subway expressions, and finally figured it out: This woman... was apparently the future Mrs. Shen, with the relationship officially acknowledged by the family?

2. When Shen Sen dotes on someone, he'd give them the stars before the moon, loving them without limit. His attitude of "nothing matters as much as you" left Ni Xingshan dazed for many a long night.

Caught in this gentle swamp, she'd once thought that everything before her was no more than a fleeting illusion, and that their relationship would burst like a bubble as soon as they exposed the secret they had to keep hidden.

Until the man pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and earnestly explained in a low voice, word by word: "Xingshan, you're the only person I've ever pampered."

Ni Xingshan looked up, her dark eyes sparkling.

Warmth colored the man's eyes as he held her with utmost seriousness. "Tonight, the stars shine bright..."

As he spoke, he kissed her lips, echoing the fans' declarations of love to her with a low chuckle: "My heart is full of love for you..."
