Chi Xingyu is a B-list actress by profession and a web novelist on the side. Her acting career is going nowhere, while her writing career is thriving.
Looking at her stagnant acting career, she's wondering whether to quit the industry and focus on writing when she hears the good news: the hugely popular Film Queen Zhe Shuangzhi is willing to take a pay cut to star as the lead in an adaptation of a certain IP.
Chi Xingyu, author of the original IP: Is this really happening?
There's another role auditioning with the same production, with lots of scenes opposite the lead. Interested?
Chi Xingyu, a five-year fan of the Film Queen: I'm back in the game!
Chi Xingyu treasures this chance to work together. She quietly watches the Film Queen at work, frets more than anyone when she comes down with a fever, and speaks up in her defense when scandals break.
People think she's secretly in love with the Film Queen, so Chi Xingyu earnestly sets the record straight: "That's not true. I would never presume to want something like that."
Zhe Shuangzhi replies with an impassive expression: "That's what I thought."
Later, Chi Xingyu finds herself being cornered, step by step. Those crimson lips move beside her ear, whispering words of tenderness.
"You said before that you would never presume to want something like that."
"But I do."
Chi Xingyu, whose fan devotion has long since turned into something else, stares in shock. "Huh?"
Reader notes:
1. A gentle but resolute bestselling author and novice actress × a cool and glamorous, drama-loving Film Queen who's sickly.
2. From mutual admiration to mutual pining.
3. Same-sex marriage is legal. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

Here's a preview from my upcoming stories: After the Substitute and the White Moonlight Form a Ghost Marriage Pact
Lin Tingquan notices that Tan Ya often gazes at her face, lost in thought, as if looking through her at someone else.
As the fake lovers both know they are, Lin Tingquan doesn't care. She just wants to see out the agreed-upon arrangement and leave with her job done.
But things gradually grow strange:
A dark shadow that vanishes in the mirror.
A strange passenger in the subway car who sends a chill down her spine.
A hand that gently strokes her cheek in the dead of night, soft and boneless, delicate and cold.
Lin Tingquan begins to sense that something is wrong. But before she can escape, Tan Ya drops her false facade and tries to sacrifice Lin Tingquan to her long-dead beloved, using her as a vessel to resurrect the ghost.
At the critical moment, a twist of fate turns the sacrificial formation into a marriage pact.
A pale, fierce ghost dressed in black appears, her lips red as blood, the corners of her eyes bewitching, her pitch-black eyes bottomless. She takes Lin Tingquan's hand and presses a cold kiss to it.
"I'm Xia Changming."
"And I'm your wife."
It takes Lin Tingquan a long time to realize that what she thought was a twist of fate was actually the result of someone else's long-held wish going slightly awry.

I'd also like to recommend my friend's story, All the Readers Transmigrated into the Book and I Became Famous, which went up this morning. It's an entertainment-industry BG story. Please check it out!
Xu Qingyan is a disposable supporting character in an entertainment-industry novel. As the foil to the protagonist, she's mistreated throughout the story despite having top-notch professional skills. In the end, haters push her off a rooftop, and she falls to her death.
Countless readers on the forum feel sorry for her and wish they could transmigrate into the book to change her fate.
After they make that wish, a pop-up really does appear on their phones: [Transmigrate into this book as a random character?]
[Yes] x10086!

Theme: Don't rush. There's always a ray of light in life.
Damn, actually, I'm quite capable of surviving. I've been waiting for so long, so you must insist on finishing it [covering face, laughing and crying]
Why did the book I raised die... How did it die... I like Da Da Da's articles so much. Can you come back? The author Da Da Da [crying] [melted] [cracked]
At first glance, it looked like the high school entrance exam... I was almost scared to death. It'll be great if I can come back, so good luck! ! ?
I seem to have seen someone say that they have landed ashore before, so is it because they have landed ashore that they don't write about it? [Crying]
After finally finding the subject matter and author I liked, Gaba disappeared in an instant. Author, can you come back soon? [Crying] I can't find anything to read on the current list [Cracked] [Cracked]
I... Help me up, I can still wait!
Short Fish, come back😭You have added prefix tags to the book, why don't you come back and update it😭
Let's kneel down together and beg Da Da to come back, okay? [Crying] I really like the pre-release of Da Da's other book. [Crying] It's not painful or tiring at all for me to wait for the new book. [Crying]
Help me up, I can still wait [crying] [crying] [crying]
Boss, I will keep crying here until you come back [crying] [crying]
