I Became Famous After a Top-Tier Star Accused Me of Plagiarism (Showbiz)

Check out my friend's story, Five Years of Pretending Not to Know Each Other, Then the Top-Tier Star Couple Goes Public, by Cheng Yu.

Nobody knew that the currently red-hot top-tier idol Tang Jiayang had someone he secretly loved.

Unfortunately, his crush was too laid-back. He'd been in the industry for eight years and was firmly stuck at the very bottom of the twenty-eighth tier.

What else could Tang Jiayang do? He had to make the first move and manufacture encounters, giving his crush publicity and opportunities. He was practically ready to gift-wrap himself, too.

But when he tried, he discovered that his crush was a major powerhouse. The publicity and resources he had to offer were nothing his crush needed. QAQ.

Jiang Chongzhao, a twenty-eighth-tier actor, recently noticed that the young top-tier star, whose popularity was off the charts, kept coming up to him with a face that charmed men and women alike, calling him "bro" and following him around like a little tail.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Jiang Chongzhao cornered him and asked, "Do you like me?"

Tang Jiayang looked both bashful and delighted. His eyes shone like stars as he answered, "I-I do."

A super-sweet romance that goes from one-sided yearning to mutual devotion.

The setting is partially fictionalized. No real-life inspirations.

A laid-back, wealthy top and a top-tier-star bottom.

Five Years of Pretending Not to Know Each Other, Then the Top-Tier Star Couple Goes Public, by Cheng Yu

KingDom debuted five years ago and is now the most popular boy band in the entertainment industry by far.

As the group's ace, Xu Zhiyu has won countless fans of all genders with his stunning looks, outstanding skills, and ever-sincere smile.

But he's been hiding a secret: he's been married for seven years!

His spouse is none other than Xie Yi, the group's very popular member with a deeply divisive reputation.

He's also the only one in this five-member group whom everyone agrees is least familiar with Xu Zhiyu.

Xie Yi has a face so handsome it's enough to make gods and men furious, along with the unruly temperament of a spoiled young master.

On the very first day after debut, he announced his sexuality in front of the media and declared, "I only want fans who support my career. Boyfriend and girlfriend fans, don't get emotionally invested in me." He was outrageously arrogant.

But in the five years since his debut, Xie Yi's talent has lived up to his arrogance. He's impossible to love or hate in equal measure.

His fans want to worship him as a king. His haters hope he dies young. His polarized reputation is unprecedented, a spectacle throughout the entertainment industry.

But Xie Yi doesn't care.

All he cares about is when he can finally stop pretending not to know his wife of seven years as part of their public act.

Xu Zhiyu recently accepted a script for a danmei drama, and the production team had picked Tao Wan as the other lead.

The producer's reason for choosing Tao Wan was simple: "If Xie Yi and Xu Zhiyu weren't so unfamiliar with each other, we'd really like Xie Yi to play the role."

Xie Yi: ???

Xie Yi: "Why not give me the script, then? It could be a chance for Xu Zhiyu and me to get to know each other."

K group fans wondered if the lovey-dovey danmei script, given to Xu Zhiyu and Xie Yi, would end up turning into a story about nothing more than two coworkers who nod at each other in passing.

They couldn't understand what the producers were thinking, choosing the two members with the least chemistry in the group.

But when the promotional period began, behind-the-scenes clips, paparazzi shots, and publicity variety shows came pouring in.

In every shot, Xie Yi was always by Xu Zhiyu's side, his poker face transformed into a smile like a flower.

K group fans: ? Has someone possessed our Bking?

After the drama aired, the "Xie-Xu" pairing shot to popularity, and the company simply let the two of them announce their relationship.

Xie Yi smugly posted: "I've kept this secret for seven years. I can finally make it public! @Xu Zhiyu, this is my wife. From now on, you can't call him your wife!"

K group fans: ??? Married for seven years?

K group fans: !!! The two of you deserve a couple of Oscars!

The other three K group members: ... Thanks. Our group is changing its name to The Clueless Ones.
