The Actress Forces Me to Date Her

Story blurb:

Duan Xiaotong, a slacker at the Matchmaker's Hall who lives for free food, receives her first matchmaking assignment as an immortal. Her job is to find a happy marriage for her target.

Before she can even begin her mission in the human world, a twist of fate entangles her with Ji Ming, a famous actress in the entertainment industry.

The next morning, Ji Ming endured her discomfort and coldly tossed over some money. "Once you walk out that door, pretend nothing happened."

Duan Xiaotong froze, her body stiffening.

Seeing Duan Xiaotong looking "distraught," Ji Ming's heart softened. She wanted to say something else to comfort her.

Who could have guessed that Duan Xiaotong was a total money-grubber? She cheerfully grabbed the cash and ran off.

Enemies are bound to cross paths. As time passed, Ji Ming fell for Duan Xiaotong, while Duan Xiaotong kept thinking about completing her mission and finding Ji Ming a boyfriend.

One day, Ji Ming discovered that Duan Xiaotong had used the money she'd given her to go on a blind date!

Furious, Ji Ming hauled Duan Xiaotong home and locked the door.

"Duan Xiaotong! How dare you use the money I gave you to go on a blind date!"

"My lady! Listen to me, it wasn't a date for me. It was a date for you."

Ji Ming grabbed Duan Xiaotong by the collar and pulled her close. The distance between them vanished in an instant. Duan Xiaotong could even feel the warmth of their breaths. Soft lips suddenly brushed hers. She heard Ji Ming whisper in her ear, her tone leaving no room for argument: "There's no need. I've already found someone."

[Content warning]:

One of the protagonists, Duan Xiaotong, will be lacking in both intelligence and emotional awareness early on for certain reasons, and will do plenty of baffling things. She'll improve later, though. She's assertive in front of others, but soft and doting around Ji Ming. If you don't like this setup, please don't read. Thank you for your support!

Upcoming story: "The Two Golden Trophy Actresses Fall from Grace"

Blurb:

An accident at an awards ceremony shocked everyone in attendance.

The media rushed over, gathering outside to wait for Ji Peiyu, the entertainment industry's double Golden Trophy Best Actress.

Facing a wall of cameras pointed at her like guns, Ji Peiyu openly admitted that she'd been the other woman in an affair!

In an instant, the trending topics crashed, and a torrent of abuse swept over her.

At the interview:

"Chairman Jiang has denied being in a relationship with you. What do you have to say about that, Miss Ji?"

When the media turned their attention to Ji Peiyu, she looked at the silent Jiang Jiurui beside her, her heart turning cold.

She faced the media again and said, "Does it have to be a normal relationship? Is it possible that I'm just shameless, promiscuous, and immoral enough to seduce Chairman Jiang?"

The camera flashes grew even more frenzied.

Ji Peiyu took a deep breath, suppressed the metallic taste in her throat, and finished with a sneer. "But Chairman Jiang is as pure as the bright moon and a gentle breeze. She's never once tried to stop me."

Later, Shang Yunjing watched the footage of Ji Peiyu's interview on her phone and hugged her tightly. "Was it hard for you back then?"

Ji Peiyu casually glanced at the screen, not a trace of emotion stirring in her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Shang Yunjing's neck and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Thank you for that wretched past. It gave me the chance to meet you."
