Star Strategist

Arc One: Scheming for a Star

Lin Yishui is an entertainer, an actor, a leading figure in the industry, and the object of his audience's adoration. Wherever he appears in public is sure to be difficult to get near.

Li Yu wants to get close to him. What should he do?

If you want a star in the sky, make the star come down to you on its own

Couple: Lin Yishui, Li Xile / Li Yu. Main POV: the receiver.

A story about an actor and someone outside the entertainment industry. There may be a variety show arc, but I'm not sure.

The best hunters often appear as prey, and adults should know their own limits.

Arc Two: The Chosen One

This is a story about coercion.

Xun Ziqin was once wildly famous, and his show was adored by all the stars. Then he was sabotaged. His most important show was canceled, and the little private life he had was blown up by malicious media. He grits his teeth and perseveres under the harshest scrutiny, while the top power broker who once desired him but couldn't have him returns.

He wants them to be together forever. Anyone who is close to Xun Ziqin in any sense must belong to him.

The person responsible for plunging Xun Ziqin into an unprecedented crisis is not him. He isn't the mastermind, nor is he someone who stirred up trouble from the sidelines. He simply took advantage of someone else's misfortune.

Why should Tan Shuoqian come to Xun Ziqin's aid when Xun Ziqin doesn't need people to flatter him when he's already successful?

Fortunately, everything turns out for the best.

*Impulses, hormones, desire and intimacy, taking and giving.

"In every life, we'll be together, tangled up in countless complications, impossible to part."

Arc Three: Unquenchable Fire

A very, very short story set in the entertainment industry.

When one thrives, all thrive; when one falls, all fall. That's what they call a "public image."
