When a Career Addict Meets a Workaholic

Please add my upcoming novel, My Brother Is So Dashing, to your reading list! Career arc: In his past life, Zhou Yao only wanted to be a couch potato. He created seven legendary IPs, the God Series, then sold them to a friend for next to nothing. Later, when his family's business ran into trouble, he was unable to help at all, and his family was ruined. He eventually chose suicide because of his depression. After being reborn, Zhou Yao swore to leave his lazy life behind. His own happiness and his family's were in his hands. He would work harder, reach as high as he could, and make as much money as possible. He would use his own hands to protect everyone he loved! Romance arc: Everything is hard at the beginning. Reborn Zhou Yao wants to build a career, but runs into obstacles at every turn. In the end, he settles for putting together a no-name production team and casting Bai Lian, an obscure trainee, as the male lead. Bai Lian is handsome and optimistic, but has never had much luck. His poverty has made him fiercely ambitious. To seize this last chance, he reluctantly approaches the producer, only to end up loving it. And so, two career-obsessed men come together. They discuss acting on set and polish lines in the hotel. Their dedication to their careers is terrifyingly intense, yet everyone on the production team says they're making passionate love every night. Later, Bai Lian becomes famous, and his relationship with Zhou Yao goes public. Everyone says it's the biggest stain on his acting career. Bai Lian thinks they have a point, so he simply goes abroad and marries Zhou Yao. Now nobody can gossip about them anymore. Reading guide: 1. The protagonist is the pursuer in the relationship. 2. The career is the main focus, and the romance develops slowly (mainly because the pursuer is too straightforward). 3. The story is satisfying, with face-slapping and power-ups. I promise there won't be any angst. If you like this kind of thing, come on over! Theme: Love takes compromise.
