Pretending to Like You for 30 Days!

[My new novel, The Rivalry, is being serialized next door. It's about an over-the-hill actor joining a talent show and debuting in a group. If you're interested, please add it to your collection!]

Novel blurb:

Jiang Zhao transmigrates into the body of a supporting male character in a romance idol drama. He's handsome, rich, and everyone loves him when he waves his money around.

But for a completely straight guy like him, this character has one fatal flaw:

He's gay.

And he's been pursuing the male lead, Ji Chen, for a whole month.

Jiang Zhao: I'm straight, Ji Chen's straight too, so how the hell is this plot supposed to work?!

To save his own life, Jiang Zhao grits his teeth and decides to pretend to like the male lead for one month.

For the next 30 days, he'll receive a new mission every day, each one stupid and malicious:

"Day one: Give him flowers and confess."

"Day two: Become Ji Chen's deskmate."

"Day eight: Disturb Ji Chen while he's resting."

"Day nine: Get Ji Chen in trouble."

After N days of doing nothing but bad things...

He discovers that:

When he steals a kiss from Ji Chen, Ji Chen doesn't get mad. Instead, he looks pleased.

When he gets hurt by accident, Ji Chen immediately leaves the heroine behind and carries him to the infirmary.

When Ji Chen catches him reading a classmate's "Chen-Zhao CP" fanfic, Ji Chen sends him an even more exciting one.

On the thirtieth day, Jiang Zhao completes his final mission:

"Give up on your crush."

Who would've guessed Ji Chen would come looking for him, leaning against the dormitory doorframe as he demands:

"Baby, why aren't you flirting with me today?"

Jiang Zhao: ...Buddy, weren't you supposed to be straight??

A slice-of-life school story. The main text was completed on July 13. Thanks for your support.

This story has no logic, seriously, no logic. It's the author's first practice novel, so please bear with me.

If you can't handle the lack of logic, please don't buy it qwq!

Coming next: The Rivalry

Qi Wangze won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival at age twenty for the film Oda. His career started strong after he returned to China, then went downhill. Ten years later, he's practically forgotten.

The entertainment industry changes every year, and people keep telling him to step behind the scenes and earn a living.

But he refuses.

By chance, he signs with the hottest talent-show entertainment company around.

A down-and-out actor at thirty, he plans to debut in a group and climb back to the top.

One day, he finds a little husky outside his dorm room.

The husky rubs against his clothes, throwing a tantrum and rolling around, its big, round, watery eyes fixed on him.

It chews the sofa, chews the table legs, and insists on sleeping with him.

When he wakes up, the husky is gone, and a handsome young man is lying beside him.

...This is bad.

He knows this young man. He's the company's newly favored center of a boy band.

Qi Wangze's eyes go wide: Where's my dog?!

The young man: ...Woof?

As a puppy, he's clingy and obedient. As a young man, he's gentle and sweet.

Qi Wangze is very satisfied. Extremely satisfied.

Until one day, his sworn enemy talks him into signing up for a couples' reality show, something he's never tried before.

Pretending to be a couple shouldn't be a big deal...

Who knew a stormy night would bring the young man, soaked to the skin, standing before him and shedding his gentle, adorable disguise? He grips Qi Wangze's wrist, bares his wolfish fangs, and smiles sweetly.

"There won't be a next time."

With both hands bound and unable to see in the dark, Qi Wangze can't break free of the young man's hold. All he can hear is his laughter.

"I worked so hard to get you where you are. I deserve to collect a little interest."

A calculating, extremely possessive, split-personality younger top x a handsome, upright, composed thirty-year-old actor bottom

# A crybaby top early on. He really does cry, and he has two faces. He's a real piece of work.

# Modern alternate universe. Everything is fictional, so please don't connect it to real life.

# Talent show in the first half, striving for Best Actor in the second. The story has little to do with fandom culture.

# Not purely a romance, with equal focus on the plot and career.

Theme: Be an upright, kind young man. Study hard, grow and improve together with your friends, and get into the university of your dreams.
