After My Career Fan Took Notice, I Was Forced to Get to Work [Showbiz]

The main story is complete.

Coming soon to my profile: My Deskmate Turned Mean [Reborn]. Please add it to your collection =3= The blurb is at the very bottom.

Blurb:

Everyone in the entertainment industry knows Lu Yilian has a one-in-a-million knack for being invisible. He can show his face every day and still be completely unknown to audiences. Even after landing a role in a smash-hit drama where everyone from the leads to the supporting cast became famous, he remained an anonymous background extra.

Directors who had worked with him felt he was a shameful waste of talent. He had the acting chops and the ability, but perhaps he was simply unlucky. His colleagues secretly used him to reassure themselves: even if the sky fell, Lu Yilian would still be the one doing the worst.

Lu Yilian's take on it: "What's being famous? I just want to go grocery shopping without wearing sunglasses."

Lu Yilian loved acting, but he didn't like fame.

Others assumed he was just leaving things to fate, like waiting to see if the sky would turn red in the rain. They had no idea that not only did he have no desire to get famous, he thought he wasn't invisible enough. Without hesitation, he personally cut off every chance he had of becoming a sensation.

His manager had given up on him, but Lu Yilian was perfectly content with his free-and-easy lifestyle, until one day, an agreement was placed in front of him.

"Our young master said," the butler announced stiffly, wearing white gloves, "sign this, and you'll have access to all the resources you could want."

Lu Yilian was stunned. "What's the catch?"

"There is no catch," the butler replied. "He says you're doing so badly that he can't bear to watch anymore."

A rebellious young master who spends money like water, whose first crush just happens to be a clueless fanboy x A laid-back actor who couldn't care less about the world and spends every day testing how far he can push his boss before driving him mad

A silly, heartwarming romance

#The whole world may miss you, but I won't

My Deskmate Turned Mean [Reborn]

Mu Wen, a first-year student in Class Two at Xihua No. 3 Middle School, is good-looking and lively. His least favorite thing is doing homework, and the person he admires most is his deskmate, an all-around academic genius who is both talented and genteel.

The top student doesn't say much, but he's kind and always answers questions. He's polite to everyone, shining like a lighthouse on Mu Wen's road to turning his grades around.

But one day, Mu Wen realizes the top student has suddenly changed.

The top student falls asleep in class. Mu Wen nudges him and reminds him to pay attention.

Top student: "Shut up. Stop bothering me."

The top student skips class to get into fights. Mu Wen happens to walk by, stunned, and stands there, unsure whether to say anything.

Top student: "Shut up. Get out of the way."

For the first time ever, the top student gets a score of fifty. Mu Wen takes the test paper to him.

Top student: "Shut..."

The top student looks at Mu Wen's test paper, with its score of thirty, and falls silent.

A moment later, he rubs his brow. "...What even is this stuff you've written?"

"Come here. I'll teach you."

Mu Wen has a secret: he likes his deskmate. Even though his deskmate is gruff when explaining problems and always complains about the papers covered in crosses, Mu Wen still likes him.

He keeps this secret well hidden, until one day, he gets caught looking at his deskmate for the thirty-eighth time.

The cool, aloof boy stops twirling his pen, looking thoroughly impatient. Just as Mu Wen timidly tries to explain himself, he's pulled into the boy's arms.

The other boy kisses his fringe, his voice husky:

"Do you know how to date?"

"...Never mind. I can tell you don't."

"It's fine. I'll teach you."

A gloomy, aloof, quick-tempered top student who acts tough but is soft inside x A lively, handsome ray of sunshine and struggling student

A sweet romance about mutual healing, mutual pining, and growing up
