After the Heartthrob Left the Scumbag

Content warning: melodrama, a groveling ex chasing his lover after losing him!! Leg-breaking warning! Also known as: Chasing the Stars Ji Mingyan's first love came back, and only then did Xia Xingjian realize that Ji Mingyan had always treated him as a substitute. All that so-called tenderness had been fake. His first love wanted the couture outfit made for Xia Xingjian by a luxury brand. Ji Mingyan tried every trick to get Xia Xingjian to change clothes, but Xia Xingjian stubbornly refused. All to appease his first love. Ji Mingyan secretly switched Xia Xingjian's clothes, giving him a counterfeit. That night, every headline was about Xia Xingjian, the first male celebrity in the country to wear counterfeit couture. He was mercilessly mocked. That night, Xia Xingjian confronted Ji Mingyan. Ji Mingyan looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "That couture piece cost forty million. Do you think you're worthy of it?" The next day was the finals. Xia Xingjian was the most popular contestant on the show and its strongest vocalist. Ji Mingyan tossed him a check for forty million, offering to buy his center position for his first love. "Isn't debuting all you want? Second place gets to debut too." Xia Xingjian tore up the check and walked away from the man who had trampled on his dreams for good. Ji Mingyan had once given him a chance to turn the tables, only to coldly snap the wings that let him soar. Watching Xia Xingjian walk away, Ji Mingyan sneered. "Xia Xingjian, one day you'll come crawling back to me." II. The day after Xia Xingjian asked to terminate his contract, Ji Mingyan demanded an astronomical penalty. He thought Xia Xingjian would back down. He never imagined that Xia Xingjian would thrive once he left. A business magnate paid his termination fee. A leading attorney represented him in court. A genius director invited him to star in his next film. A top designer made clothes tailored just for him. Before long, the media photographed Xia Xingjian coming and going from a hotel with his rumored boyfriend. In the dark of night, a man stubbed out his cigarette and gripped Xia Xingjian's chin, forcing him to look at him. "Did you fucking plan to break up with me all along?" III. Ji Mingyan knelt on the ground outside the door. The once-arrogant young master Ji had shed his haughty air. Holding a box, he coaxed Xia Xingjian. "Will you just take a look? I bought it for you. Do you like it?" Under the ink-black night, Xia Xingjian, who had never smoked before, deftly crushed a spark. He raised an eyebrow at Ji Mingyan. "This ring is too expensive. Do you think I'm worthy of it?" A media interview with Best Actor Xia, whose career was thriving after he switched to acting due to a leg injury. -I heard Young Master Ji bought you a ring worth over a hundred million, but you didn't accept it. Was that because you didn't want anything more to do with him, or for another reason? Xia Xingjian smiled faintly. "I was afraid it was a fake." Blurb screenshot: 2020.7.14 Upcoming novel one: "Atone for My Sins" (After being banished to the mortal realm, I went viral fortune-telling on livestream with my nemesis) Li Huai was reborn as a foolish emperor. Driven by suspicion, he forced Xie Jue, who had been reborn as a general and remained utterly loyal to him, to his death. After completing their trials, they were rewarded according to their merits. Li Huai was appointed the Heavenly God of Justice and also became the King of Hell. Xie Jue, however, was short on merit and was only appointed the God of Wealth. So... Li Huai approved the funds, but Xie Jue wouldn't release them. Li Huai requested money, but Xie Jue wouldn't approve it. Li Huai had no money, and Xie Jue wouldn't lend him any. A single coin could defeat even a hero, and so the God of Wealth's Hall fell out with the Department of Justice and the Hall of the King of Hell. The immortals of the three halls fought, enraging the Heavenly Emperor. He stripped the heads of the two palaces of their powers and banished them to the mortal realm to build up merit. They would need to amass five billion merit points before they could return to Heaven. On their first day reporting to the mortal world, Xie Jue looked at the smiling Li Huai and touched the immortal-slaying sword in his arms. When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred. They could fight and bicker all they wanted, but they couldn't joke about their divine positions. The two of them were penniless and had no divine powers. With five billion seeming impossibly far away, they came up with a plan. They would start a livestream, draw talismans, tell fortunes, and make money. The stream had just begun when a tycoon, laden with gold, came in to seek a child. Xie Jue began, "Comrade, you have a broad forehead and a square jaw. But unfortunately, dark energy has been gathering around you lately. You may need to buy some talismans-" Li Huai: "You'll never have children." A wealthy woman came into the livestream to buy thousands of talismans for protection. Xie Jue: "I'll keep you safe for the rest of your life." Li Huai: "You don't have long to live." A glamorous woman in a cheongsam, whose mother was a famous actor, came into the livestream to call them frauds. Xie Jue: "Has your mother been acting strangely lately?" Li Huai: "Your mom's dead." The livestream was banned a moment later. Xie Jue looked at Li Huai, rummaged through the boxes with a sinister smile, and took out some superglue to seal Li Huai's mouth. Li Huai: "You could use something else to shut me up." Xie Jue: "???"

To obtain a fragment of Meng Juan's soul, Shen Jiu broke into Heaven, wreaked havoc in the underworld, and threw the lives of all creatures in the four seas into chaos. At last, he got a chance to go back in time and find his master. He awoke with excitement, only to see his usually aloof and pure master surrounded by lovers, out on the town... in a brothel! Meng Juan wondered if writing a book about a romance between a master and a younger disciple had given him hallucinations. A disciple had suddenly dropped from the sky, claiming to be his future husband! Excerpt from Immortal Master Meng's diary (1) That guy Shen Jiu claims to be my disciple, but he acts more like my master. He keeps telling me to care about the world and save all living beings. What a joke! The people of the world aren't as fragile as you think. I asked him which idiot had said that. He gave me a long look. It's late. Time to kick my disciple out. Excerpt from Immortal Master Meng's diary (2) My back hurts. I shouldn't have been fooled by his celibate, icy demeanor. The person involved regrets it. I can't believe I was so blind later on that I took in a disciple like him. P.S. The entire story is in third person (top's perspective). The blurb is from the master's perspective, while the story is from the disciple's perspective. Theme: Cherish the person by your side
