And then Nan Qingyan dropped into the harem. Xia Xu: ...Mm, this is getting too exciting. Xia Xu looked at Nan Qingyan and held out his hand. "I hope we can both... keep work and personal matters separate." Filming began, and in their first scene together, Nan Qingyan's eyes held an unreadable emotion. In a flat voice, he said, "There are plenty of kissing scenes coming up. Are your legs already giving out?"

"...Listen to me explain!" Upcoming story recommendation: Switched at Birth Until the age of four, Wang Beizhi lived a luxurious life as a beloved daughter of a wealthy family. Both her parents were university professors, and she was the apple of the whole family's eye. Meanwhile, the frail Xie Nanjue was still picking up bottles in the slums. The revelation of a medical blunder changed Wang Beizhi and Xie Nanjue's lives completely: they had been switched at birth. After a long process of mediation, they each returned to their own families. The two families were worlds apart in wealth. Worried that both children would grow close to the Xie family, Wang Beizhi's birth parents disappeared with him. More than ten years later, Wang Beizhi, who had long forgotten his childhood memories, returned to Nanzhou No. 1 High School and became Xie Nanjue's deskmate. Living with his grandmother, he was poor and rebellious. His handsome face was often bruised, but he was astonishingly beautiful. With good looks and strong fists, he quickly became the top dog at Nanzhou No. 1, ruling the school with no one daring to challenge him. Xie Nanjue, on the other hand, was the school's famous heartthrob. His uniform was pristine and fragrant, his collar buttoned to the top, and his shoes spotless. His bicycle cost tens of thousands. For more than ten years, what the Xie family worried about most was Wang Beizhi, who had vanished without a trace: "I wonder how he's doing now." The first time Wang Beizhi went with his classmates to visit the Xie family mansion, he walked through the splendid courtyard without realizing he wasn't visiting. He was coming home. They had reunited, yet neither recognized the other. Xie Nanjue was the first to realize that Wang Beizhi was the person they had missed and searched for over so many years. After a basketball game, in the locker room, Xie Nanjue looked at the small mole on Wang Beizhi's chest. "You might not believe me, but you should call me your big brother." Wang Beizhi held a cigarette in his mouth. "You might not believe me, but if you keep looking at me like that, I'll make you call me Daddy!" The switched-at-birth, real-and-fake rich young masters trope: a rebellious, flirtatious school heartthrob bottom x an abstinent, wealthy, beautiful school heartthrob top. The top spoils the bottom. [He took the cigarette from his hand and gave him a lollipop instead.+] Come into my arms. This time, we weren't switched by mistake. Theme: Always live toward the sun.
