Luring the Flames

[1]

Zhou Yihan never imagined that her boyfriend would personally deliver her into the hands of entertainment mogul Duan Zhuoyou.

When she woke up, she was utterly devastated.

The dim room was filled with intimate, lingering tension.

Duan Zhuoyou sat on the sofa opposite her, legs stretched out lazily. His voice was hoarse. "You and your boyfriend sure are open-minded. What a pity I don't like things that are handed to me."

Zhou Yihan was in a wretched state. So she decided to go along with it.

Steeling herself, she slowly nestled into his cold embrace, feigning shyness. "Mr. Duan, do you really not like it?"

Duan Zhuoyou watched Zhou Yihan with interest and didn't stop her bold advances.

After that, there was no turning back.

Thanks to her terrible acting, Zhou Yihan really did manage to become the only woman by the mogul's side.

From then on, her acting career took off. She went from an obscure, bottom-tier actress to a top-tier star.

And so she came to a conclusion: Having a powerful backer feels great!

Duan Zhuoyou had a strange temper and was domineering and arrogant.

Yet wherever he went, he always had the sweet and delicate Zhou Yihan by his side.

Until one day, Duan Zhuoyou accidentally saw Zhou Yihan meeting her ex-boyfriend.

Zhou Yihan carried herself with pride and swagger, her face full of contempt. "I, Zhou Yihan, hold grudges down to the last penny. Did you ever think about the consequences of framing me?"

Duan Zhuoyou raised an eyebrow slightly. Oh?

#My girlfriend has two different sides to her?#

On the day Zhou Yihan asked Duan Zhuoyou to break up, she forgot her phone was livestreaming.

She still looked frail as she said, "Duan Zhuoyou, I don't think I love you that much anymore. Let's break up."

Duan Zhuoyou looked like a thug as he strode toward Zhou Yihan. "You used me and now you want to run? Who taught you that?"

All the fans watching the livestream: (⊙﹏⊙)

Upcoming novel The Fake Couple of a Powerful Family, please follow:

Si Yiwen and Zhou Yin aren't celebrities, but their status as a fake married couple from a powerful family keeps them trending all day long.

The husband is richer than a king, and the wife is fabulously wealthy. The public didn't think their arranged marriage would last, but now people everywhere are shipping them as a couple.

The reason: They're both far better-looking than the entertainment industry's top-tier stars!

One day, bored, Zhou Yin amused herself by watching gossip about herself on YouTube and decided to start a livestream.

As soon as it opened, the comments exploded.

Zhou Yin answered online viewers' questions about the lives of the rich through her actions:

Mansions? Gold-plated banisters, diamond-studded chandeliers, mountains of luxury goods...

Following celebrities? Buy the brands endorsed by your favorite idol. That's what real fan power looks like.

Travel? Charter a private jet and fly anywhere, or buy an island in minutes.

Work? That's not a thing. Her husband makes too much money.

Oh, as for that fake husband of hers?

Zhou Yin reached out and pulled someone into the frame. "My fans want to see if you're really as handsome as your pictures."

The camera turned to reveal a handsome man in a perfectly tailored suit, as good-looking as any top-tier star. He looked at her adoringly. "Aren't you going back to sleep? Who was crying last night, saying she was tired and didn't want any more? Come here."

The livestream suddenly glitched and went black.

Fans flooded the comments: [Ahhh! This is nothing like I imagined!]

One day, gossip spread that the rich couple was getting divorced.

Just as the rumors grew, fans dug up a postcard Si Yiwen had written to Zhou Yin by hand when they were students. In bold, powerful handwriting, it read:

[You'll always be my ideal type, A Yin.]

That night, Zhou Yin pinned Si Yiwen against the wall. "Tell me, what did that postcard mean? Were you secretly in love with me all that time ago?"

Si Yiwen simply picked Zhou Yin up. "Do I have to say it? Maybe showing you would be more convincing."

The livestream instantly went black, and the fans' comments went wild:

[Is there something VIP members aren't allowed to see?]

[I'm dead, I'm dead!]

[Why are fake couples so sweet?]

[Real life is better than a romance drama!]

[I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed!]
