Please support the official release, and thank you all ovo (Same-sex marriage is legal, modern fictional setting) Yan Fuli made his debut at twenty-one, and everything went smoothly from there: high-quality scripts, luxury brands, a huge fanbase, one award after another... If he had to name something that didn’t go his way, his rival Jiang Lu would be one. He and Jiang Lu seemed born to be at odds. Every time they met, they traded barbs and made cutting remarks, and the industry was always comparing them. Yan Fuli was ultimately a little more talented, and luckier, too. At twenty-seven, he beat Jiang Lu to win Best Actor. After the ceremony, Yan Fuli went to tease and harass Jiang Lu. At last, Jiang Lu snapped, “You’d better watch out, or you’ll have the worst luck!” As soon as the words left his mouth, a light fell from a tree and hit Yan Fuli on the head. He collapsed, unconscious. Yan Fuli could practically predict tonight’s top trending topic: Jiang Lu uses the supernatural to attack Yan Fuli, whose life hangs in the balance. Their two fanbases would probably fight for three hundred rounds. But Yan Fuli really was Heaven’s favorite. Even getting hit in the face by a light fixture had turned out to be a lucky break. When he woke up, he discovered he could hear other people’s thoughts. All it took was physical contact. Yan Fuli sneered, ready to find out what secrets his archenemy was hiding. He never smiled, always seemed so cold and distant. Who knew how wild he was inside? A few days later, he finally found his chance. They ran into each other in a narrow corridor, their shoulders brushing lightly, and Yan Fuli heard Jiang Lu’s thoughts. [We’re finally acting in the same production. I’m so happy.] Yan Fuli: “?” Who are you? #What could be more shocking than discovering your archenemy has a secret crush on you after getting the ability to read minds?# That your archenemy has been secretly in love with you for years. Yan Fuli wasn’t exactly a gentleman, so he took advantage of Jiang Lu’s feelings and became even more brazen. He deliberately provoked Jiang Lu, just to watch him sneer at him to his face while thinking, all soft and sweet, about how much he liked him. Yan Fuli found he enjoyed the game more and more, until he took it too far and made Jiang Lu furious. Jiang Lu stopped talking to him. Frightened, Yan Fuli flew back from abroad to City C that very night. He waited outside Jiang Lu’s door for two hours, just so he could apologize to him in person. He wrapped one arm around Jiang Lu’s waist and gently pinched the back of his neck with the other, soothing him like a small animal. “It’s all fake. How could I possibly be with him? You believe the gossip accounts instead of me? ...Hmm? Open your eyes and look at me?” “Baby, I’m completely sincere. Believe me, okay?” Tears clung to Jiang Lu’s thick lashes, making him look terribly vulnerable and sweet. Yan Fuli heard his thoughts: Why are you always picking on me... Yan Fuli’s heart nearly stopped. He knew that somewhere along the way, he’d fallen for Jiang Lu in their game of cat and mouse. Later, when Yan Fuli and Jiang Lu attended a premiere together, Jiang Lu deliberately brushed his elbow against Yan Fuli’s arm. His ears turned red as he acted out an entire action movie in his mind. Yan Fuli choked and swore, but didn’t dare move his arm. If he did, Jiang Lu would only get angrier. He sighed. “Baby, that’s not how you use mind reading.” What good is being wild in your head? You won’t let me do any of that in real life. *A sensitive, proud, jealous beauty of a recipient × an irreverent love interest who adores and spoils his darling *A sweet little romance, both are sexually inexperienced P.S. This is a light, fluffy romance with no real angst, about 200,000 words. Hope you enjoy reading it~ Upcoming novel: They All Keep Quiet Blurb: Chaoyue was born into a crime family, but he was sickly from childhood and couldn’t do any intense training. He couldn’t even hold a gun steady. He hated his body, but after his father died, he used it to take the position of head of the family. The position he’d always dreamed of, the one he coveted. On the night he seized power, he appeared in Duan Zhouhe’s room wearing only a bathrobe, barefoot. Duan Zhouhe had just showered. He looked at Chaoyue’s legs and fell silent for a long time before saying hoarsely, “Young Master, offering yourself to a tiger is not a wise choice.” A mocking expression appeared on Chaoyue’s beautiful, almost demonic face. He kicked aside the dirty clothes on the floor, sat on the sofa like a king, lifted his chin, and called to Duan Zhouhe, “Come here.” As if he were calling a dog. In fact, that was exactly how he saw Duan Zhouhe. Duan Zhouhe knelt before him. Chaoyue raised a hand and slapped him, sneering, “Offering yourself to a tiger? You? You think you’re a tiger?” “You’re just a dog.” ** Chaoyue became Duan Zhouhe’s new master. He was a fine dog: wild, loyal, bloodthirsty, and most importantly, he knew how to keep quiet. Chaoyue was pleased, though sometimes he hated it. For instance, his dog’s appetite kept growing until Chaoyue could barely keep him fed. And then there was the fact that he was far too quiet. Chaoyue angrily slapped him and yelled, “Are you mute? Can’t you talk?” Sweat beaded on Duan Zhouhe’s nose. He took the blows and insults without complaint, head down as he kept working. Chaoyue’s hand hurt from hitting him, but it didn’t even leave a mark on his face. “Useless!” *A vicious, short-tempered beauty of a recipient × a capable, formidable subordinate love interest /The love interest’s years-long crush finally comes true / pregnancy / the recipient has an extremely, extremely bad temper! There should be another couple later, but I couldn’t come up with a blurb, so I’ll just post the first one for now OVO Theme: What you can’t forget will always find its way back to you.
