A Confession to the Whole Internet [Entertainment Industry]

[Marriage first, love later; groveling for forgiveness; two men fighting over one woman; a story of men competing for a woman] Xia Lu never imagined that one day she'd spend an entire week trending across the internet because two of the country's top-tier stars publicly declared their love for her. A week before the wedding, her boyfriend of three years, Shen Yu, suddenly called it off. Just when she was at a loss, Gu Huaimian, the reigning top-tier star and king of the music scene, called her. “I heard you got left at the altar? What a coincidence. I just got jilted too. How about we make do and get married?” After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Lu readily agreed. Though it seemed like an impulsive joke, after they married, the two managed to muddle through life together amid one chaotic incident after another. She had thought they might spend the rest of their lives like this, without love, simply getting by together. But then her ex, Shen Yu, came to his senses and regretted what he'd done. He pursued her recklessly, like a man possessed. He even apologized publicly online, regardless of the consequences: [I'm sorry, Xia Lu. Leaving you at the altar was wrong. I was blinded, and I regret it. If you'll give me one more chance, I'll give up everything I have for you. Xia Lu, I love you more than anyone else does.] Faced with Shen Yu gambling his career on her, Gu Huaimian, usually so carefree, typed up a message of his own. [You say you've loved her for four years, but I've loved her for ten. You'd give up your career for her. I gave up a fortune and worked my way up in the entertainment industry to become a top-tier star for her. You hurt her by abandoning her before the wedding for your own selfish reasons. I could let go of the person I love most for her, if that's what would make her happy. Shen Yu, what gives you the right to say you love her more than I do?] As soon as the two posts went up, all three names shot to the top of the trending lists. The whole internet was in an uproar! A little plug for my upcoming novel~ A sweet story of mutual pining: Reaching for the Stars Everyone in the industry knows that the aloof, low-key movie king Feng Qiao, whose net worth is in the hundreds of millions, has a die-hard fan named Su Mian. She's followed him from online to in person, from watching him on TV to seeing him on the big screen. She's rich and has plenty of free time. More importantly, she's incredibly talented: one of the top writers in today's fiction world, with every book she's written over the past two years becoming a hit. When movie king Feng Qiao went through an awkward period in his career transition and couldn't find a suitable role, Su Mian even secluded herself for nine months and poured all her energy into writing him the perfect script. One movie made Feng Qiao a legend. Everyone in the industry envied him for having such a talented fan who recognized his potential. Some even egged him on, saying that when he found a fan who was so talented and loved him so much, he might as well date her. Su Mian publicly responded: “I don't understand, and I don't approve. An idol is an idol, and a fan is a fan. Please keep idols out of their fans' private lives. Thank you.” Feng Qiao, busy on set: ??? - Su Mian had always known she wasn't the genius author everyone called her, the one who had become famous with her very first book. She'd been practicing her writing on various platforms since high school. Back when she was an unknown writer with no readers, one little reader had always quietly supported her. They sent a tip for every chapter and offered encouragement in every comment. For ten years, without fail. When she switched platforms, this little reader followed her, registering accounts on dozens of sites just to support her. They discussed plotlines late into the night, then talked about philosophy and dreams until morning. In short, they were kindred spirits who felt they'd found each other after far too long. Finally, one day, Su Mian decided to be impulsive and invite this reader to dinner, hoping to get to know them in real life. They picked a place, and she dressed carefully. The moment the fan opened the door, Su Mian froze. The reader and fan who walked in was Feng Qiao. He sat down calmly. “Su, you said, ‘An idol is an idol, and a fan is a fan. Please keep idols out of their fans' private lives’?” Core message: Your fate is in your own hands. Create a brilliant life.
