The Whole World Thinks I Dated a Top-Tier Star

[I can't write anymore! There won't be any extra chapters!] Cheng Buyu has suffered from emotional detachment since childhood. He has no feelings. When his mother died, he was quiet and withdrawn. When his wealthy biological father kicked him out, he didn't utter a word. As he grew older, he became a beautiful, gentle young man, serene as moonlight. During a stage rehearsal, he discovered for the first time that stepping into a role let him experience ordinary emotions. Thinking what the character thinks, loving whom the character loves, until the next performance. Years later, the world calls him a genius of a thousand faces. His biological father begs him to endorse his brand, and reviewers call him “the strongest and most sanity-destroying actor of the new generation” and “the only genius who can hold his own against AI.” Everyone is crazy about him. Cheng Buyu: ^-^ * Gu Ruzhuo has been surrounded by a halo since childhood. The media calls him “God's favorite,” and his rumored romantic partners could circle the globe. But not a single reporter has ever uncovered that he once lived under the same roof for three years with Cheng Buyu, back when Cheng was still an unknown. The guy who came to stay was a little wolf in sheep's clothing, stealing everyone's affection. He came from a dubious background, and every fiber of his being reeked of something despicable. Worse still, after helping him study acting, Cheng Buyu actually dared to fall for him! Even after dumping and humiliating him, Gu still didn't feel satisfied. He went abroad to clear his head for a few years, only to realize that it hadn't worked: his heart was pounding for Cheng Buyu. So Young Master Gu flew back to China in a custom suit, his stern expression perfectly composed, and personally acted opposite Cheng Buyu. Seeing the tender, affectionate look in Cheng Buyu's eyes after the scene, Gu Ruzhuo thought: We're definitely getting back together. * Later, Young Master Gu: #MomAskedWhyIWasCryingLikeABoilingKettle##IWon'tLetYouLookAtHimLikeThat!##YouCan'tActOppositeHim!##YouCanOnlyActOppositeMe!!##ActuallyNeverMindStopActingAndLetMeTakeCareOfYouPleaseWaaah!!# Onlookers: #MrGu, his personal assets might be worth more than yours.# May my darling shine forever, and may fate smile on you again. 1. My ship is a match made in heaven, the best in the world. 2. The author is the biggest, most obsessive shipper in the entire story. I have peculiar tastes: I love melodramatic, strong-but-tragic characters, and I love it when both leads are adored by everyone. If you're particular about these things, beware. Extreme top- or bottom-focused readers, run! Run now! Spare yourself and spare me. If you break up my ship, I'll cry; if you can't see my other baby, I'll sob; if you accuse me of playing favorites, I'll suffer. Please give us shippers a chance to live! 3. Happy ending, angst first, sweetness later. Fictional entertainment industry, logic is dead. 4. Updates depend on how I'm feeling. If you can't follow along, feel free to save it for later~ [A new story to look forward to] "The Stunning, Sickly Streamer Goes on a Killing Spree [Esports]" "Shockshot" is a massive global competitive shooter. Before professional playstyles had taken shape, the Chinese server IDs [snow] and [Pretty] pioneered an unbeatable sniper-and-spotter duo strategy, striking fear into everyone. Two years later, [Pretty] joined the professional league. Wen Man, the account's owner, switched to playing sniper. His icy, godlike aim made him the man countless viewers wanted to marry. He held the global number-one sniper spot, showered with accolades and honors. Meanwhile, Xue Wei, owner of the [snow] account, was sixteen and quietly watching streams from a hospital bed. Others had taken his playstyle and made it their own. His tactics were credited to someone else. His achievements had been buried by the passage of time. When the owner of a struggling team on the verge of shutting down came to recruit him, the beautiful, quiet boy said only three things. “Because of my health, I won't join the team's training camp, but I can sit in and observe.” “I don't need teamwork.” “I only play sniper.” A year later, [snow] returned to the scene, signing with a shabby team that couldn't even afford to pay its players. Word was that [snow] had a terrible temper, no sense of teamwork, and would only play one position. Everyone thought this would be another story about an old pro growing overconfident and getting his comeuppance. But what they saw was this: The sickly boy, long past his prime, calmly took aim in front of the screen and, one step at a time, killed his way through the entire game. In that instant, everyone knew: [snow] was back. #ThisIsATeamGame# #NoThisIsMyGameAlone# #IInventedEveryTacticAndEverySystemIsMyPlaystyle,ThoseNewStarsAreAllMyStudents# * Rumors that [snow] and [Pretty] didn't get along had been circulating in the industry for ages. Everyone assumed that when they met in person, the two would be at each other's throats. Then people stumbled upon Wen Man, the aloof, cold, supremely confident sniper god, cornering the pale, beautiful boy and coaxing him in a low voice. “The title of world's number-one sniper is yours. I held on to it for you.” “I've never been anyone else's spotter.” “Please don't ignore me anymore, okay?” Theme: Doing the right thing is more important than doing things the right way. Hold fast to your principles.
