Without Marriage, This Will Never End

[Now updating the novel next door, In the Tent, a Fragrant Scent!] 1. Gu Liaoliao had been in the entertainment industry for two years, yet no one knew who she was. When she landed a spot on a dating show, she vowed to put on a good show, deliver plenty of couple content, and make a name for herself by playing up a celebrity pairing. On the day filming began, the moment Gu Liaoliao saw Jiang Yue, her expression changed. Her face turned so cold it seemed to rain ice. She stuffed the little gift she'd carefully prepared for her dating-show partner into the bottom of her suitcase, and kept a safe one-meter distance from Jiang Yue during their team tasks... Gu Liaoliao showed a fierce competitive streak on the show, coming first in every task, all so she could win a partner-swap card. The fans, who had been ready to log on and curse the female guest for throwing herself at their idol, were baffled. How could anyone dislike their guy? She had to be playing hard to get! 2. Jiang Yue was famous in the industry for his bad temper. He was always stone-faced, never promoted himself, and kept women at arm's length. Then one day, he suddenly made an announcement and inexplicably signed up for a dating show. Everyone thought his sharp-tongued remarks would drive the female guests crazy, but Jiang Yue acted completely out of character. He quietly brought Gu Liaoliao a sun-protective jacket, secretly slipped candies into her bag, and even brazenly pulled her into his RV during filming, making her take a nap when she wasn't feeling well. There were no cameras inside the RV. The audience stared at the black screen, then suddenly heard a strange rustling sound. A familiar voice followed: "You can't even catch your breath between kisses, so why are you singing?" "You taught me to sing, but you never taught me this..." Audience: Can we get the full video? We'll pay! * Rekindled love * No real-life inspirations. Don't start drama. -----------Advance Preview: Obsession---------- 1. Yun Yi met a man at a bar who claimed to be a director. They hit it off and went to a private room upstairs. She expected them to part on good terms, but the next morning, she received a film contract. Chen Jingming reverted to his usual cool, abstinent demeanor and told her that the way she'd lost herself in the moment the night before matched everything he imagined for the female lead in his new film. Once filming began, Chen Jingming wanted her to immerse herself completely in the role, step into the heroine's life, and fall in love with the man the heroine loved. Yun Yi did a great job. Everyone even thought she'd fallen for the male lead during filming. But halfway through production, the investors suddenly announced a change of director. People outside the industry said Yun Yi had offended the director, leading Chen Jingming to abandon two months of hard work rather than continue working with her. Only Chen Jingming knew that every time he saw her looking at someone else with love in her eyes on camera, he regretted bringing her into the industry. That night, Chen Jingming knocked on her door and saw the male lead's jacket at the foot of her bed. Before he could speak, Yun Yi cut him off. "Once we're on set, there's no Yun Yi, only the character. That's what the director taught me." When it came down to choosing between her future and him, Yun Yi chose her future. 2. Word spread that rising Best Actress Yun Yi would be appearing on an all-star dating show. Then Qi Chong, her costar in her debut film, announced he was joining, too. Just as the fans were cheering that it was the perfect time for their ship, another male guest was revealed: Chen Jingming, the maverick director who was either making a film or on his way to make one, and who had won a string of domestic and international film awards. Since Chen Jingming stepped down as director of Yun Yi's debut film, he and Yun Yi and Qi Chong had had no contact whatsoever in the industry. Just as fans were saying they didn't understand the lineup, the show's official account suddenly released a pre-show interview. "Why did you choose to come on this show?" Qi Chong: "For a female guest." Chen Jingming: "For a female guest." Yun Yi: "To meet new male guests :)" * Lust first, love later / age gap * A maverick director who puts the role above all else X a rising Best Actress who is all about her career --Advance Preview: I Show Off My Love on a Divorce Reality Show After Losing My Memory-- Blurb: 1. A car accident left Yun Jia, a popular young actress, without nearly three years of memories. When she opened her eyes, she found herself surrounded by cameras. The director explained, "We're filming a big relationship show for married couples..." Yun Jia eagerly cut him off. "I know." Wasn't she just going on the show to flaunt her loving marriage with her husband? Easy! An hour later, Wen Huaiqing walked through the door. Yun Jia immediately put on a pitiful expression, tears welling in her eyes as she held out her arms to him. "Honey, give me a hug." 2. Three years earlier, Yun Jia was still a newcomer when she met the Best Actor Wen Huaiqing while filming. They married in a whirlwind, but spent little time together. Later, they decided to divorce because of their incompatible personalities. Just then, a divorce reality show came knocking. The show was their last chance to save their relationship, with both sides deciding in the final episode whether to truly split up. They agreed at once. They could make money and get divorced at the same time. But during filming, Yun Jia got into a car accident. Afterward, not only had she lost her memory, but her personality changed, too. The cool, beautiful woman who seemed untouchable became an adorably spoiled little sweetheart. Before losing her memory, Yun Jia and Wen Huaiqing each had their own study at home and barely interacted all day. The production crew was at their wits' end. After losing her memory, Yun Jia would grab her little blanket and trot over to sit beside Wen Huaiqing, claiming she wanted to rehearse lines with him. But before long, she'd fall asleep in his arms. Netizens: Someone call them out! They're scamming us! They lured us in with a divorce, only to kill us with their lovey-dovey act! 3. Just before filming the final episode, Yun Jia suddenly regained her memories. When the production crew heard the news, they staged a surprise visit to see how the couple was getting along. The director entered with the livestreaming equipment, and the entire nation saw the two of them kissing passionately, unable to pull away... After the show ended, the other two couples parted peacefully. Yun Jia and Wen Huaiqing held hands, fingers intertwined. "We've decided to take six months off and go on our honeymoon." Theme: Everything you want, you have to fight for yourself.
