[Main Story Complete] [Please add the upcoming novel, Running Into My Nemesis on a Dating Show, to your reading list]

Ye Cheng is gorgeous, wealthy, and a well-known overseas-educated fund manager in the industry, with no shortage of admirers. But she's fallen for a young hottie.

He's in his early twenties, with fair skin, delicate good looks, soft dark-brown hair, a knack for acting cute, and a habit of flirting with her. He's also very obedient.

Ye Cheng splashes her money around and waits on him hand and foot. At last, she wins him over and treats him like a precious treasure every day.

Then one day, she starts to lose interest and is wondering how to end things gracefully when the young hottie disappears without a word.

A few days later, at the year-end gala, Ye Cheng is named one of the year's ten most influential financial figures. The award is presented by a young, handsome movie king who looks exactly like her young hottie.

With his close-cropped black hair, the movie king looks cool and aloof. The fans below are screaming, but he doesn't even spare her a flicker of emotion.

As expected of a movie king.

Ye Cheng: ...

Ye Cheng: I have a swear word on the tip of my tongue. Should I say it?

Lin Ruosheng is a top star with both talent and popularity. He won the Best Actor award at a young age against all odds, has countless devoted female fans, and has never been linked to a woman.

One day, a paparazzo releases a video.

Lin Ruosheng is arguing with a beautiful woman in front of a luxury car. A few seconds later, everything changes: he pins her down with aggressive intensity, and the two kiss passionately on the car's hood. The clip shatters his usual cool, aloof image.

For the first time ever, the word "crashed" tops Weibo's trending searches, all thanks to the video.

[Lin Ruosheng's relationship revealed. Hundreds of millions of girlfriend fans are heartbroken.]

Half an hour later, Lin Ruosheng, who hasn't posted in ages, updates his Weibo.

[Lin Ruosheng: @LuckyCat, you used to call me "sweetie" every other word while coaxing me to watch the stars and the moon with you. Now you're going to dump me after leading me on?]

The whole internet is in an uproar: So even the movie king can get dumped!

Ye Cheng: ...

Ye Cheng: He's really good at turning things around and blaming me.

Upcoming novel, Running Into My Nemesis on a Dating Show. Please add it to your reading list~~

In the entertainment industry, everyone knows that variety-show goddess Su Jiu and movie king Mu Nanzhen are sworn enemies.

Mu Nanzhen criticized Su Jiu's acting as "a performance with no soul," earning her widespread ridicule and crushing her dreams of becoming an actress.

Su Jiu mocked Mu Nanzhen for "creating scandals with his very life," ruining one of his big-budget productions.

Their fans fight like there's no tomorrow. The few CP fans live in constant fear, stealthily shipping them one day and dropping the pairing the next.

Two years later, they run into each other on an outdoor variety show.

The viewers excitedly get out their magnifying glasses, ready to dig up scenes of the two enemies clashing and sparks flying.

Mu Nanzhen: The chicken soup Teacher Xiao Jiu made is delicious.

Su Jiu: It's what I didn't finish.

Mu Nanzhen: Teacher Xiao Jiu, I'll take care of your dirty laundry today.

Su Jiu: My hands aren't broken.

Mu Nanzhen: Teacher Xiao Jiu, this diamond ring is beautiful. It's exactly like the one I gave my beloved.

Su Jiu: ...

Su Jiu: Thanks, but we're not close.

Viewers: That's a lot to unpack!

By the end of the show, the pairing nicknamed "Raise a Glass" reaches number one on the CP rankings, and its fans, the Little Wine Blossoms, surge from a handful to a million.

After the show wraps, a behind-the-scenes video from a fan site leaks: Mu Nanzhen, who's always been afraid of water, rushes into the sea, scoops Su Jiu up from the water, and kisses her passionately.

The trending searches explode.

Reader's Guide:

1. Updates daily at noon. One-on-one romance, happy ending, and a sweet love story. The entertainment industry is only a small part of the novel.

2. This story is not based on real people. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Please don't mention real celebrities in the comments. The female lead is a little bit of a jerk at first, so don't read if that bothers you. Thanks, love you.

3. My knowledge is limited, so there are plenty of inaccuracies and invented details about finance and investment funds. Please point out mistakes gently. I'll fix what I can, and if I can't, just treat it as an alternate world. \\(^o^)/~
