I Accidentally Married My Rival [Showbiz]

Bai Manmeng has spent years as a nobody in the entertainment industry. She’s gorgeous, but also a total drama queen and fiercely outspoken, so she has more haters than the paid trolls she hires to boost her image. (Word is, a lot of the people bashing her are fellow entertainers.)

Then, in her fifth year without making it big, her family ordered her to come home and get married.

Bai Manmeng thought the arranged-marriage partner who’d once run away from their engagement banquet had changed his name and successfully escaped ages ago. She couldn’t believe the useless guy had actually been caught and dragged back!

She resolved to give the loser a good beating as soon as she saw him.

Well, who could have guessed he’d be Luo Yang, the top-tier star and singer she’d already slapped four times?

Luo Yang, sounding helpless: “It couldn’t be helped. I just messed around and got famous. People recognize me everywhere I go.”

Bai Manmeng, who considered arranged marriage a terrifying prospect, suddenly had an idea. “If we invite all the media to livestream our wedding, wouldn’t I become famous overnight? All right, I’ve decided to marry you!”

Bai Manmeng seemed cursed with an invisible presence. Ever since her debut, she’d never made it big. She’d acted in countless supporting roles in TV shows and movies, even playing the lead in a famous director’s film, but hardly any viewers remembered her.

Then she made a god-awful movie she’d never wanted to take on, co-starring with Luo Yang, a top-tier singer and idol. At last, her invisible presence was shattered by this terrible actor and young king of pop.

Manager: Oh my~ Sweet Manmeng, you’ve been dragged all day again~ The trending topics have exploded! This is great news!

...Who could have guessed that a female celebrity would suddenly become the rival of a male singer, with his fans hounding her day after day? Even eating a bite of food at night became a huge black mark against her!

But with more and more acting offers, more endorsements, and her fees steadily climbing, being showered with “blessings” from Luo Yang’s fans didn’t seem so bad after all?

Bai Manmeng: Thank you, all you haters, for supporting me. I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today without your attention. And without these achievements, I’d have gone home to get married long ago. Thank you for giving me the motivation to run away from my wedding again!!!!

Luo Yang: What a coincidence. I also worked hard in the entertainment industry to escape my arranged marriage.

And so, on a beautiful, sunny morning, Luo Yang became Bai Manmeng’s fiancé after all. [Crying cat meme]
