Falling into Scandal [Showbiz]

[My new story, Kiss at Four Corners, is now open for reservations!]

·

A gossip account broke the news: "A top-tier star with the surname L from a certain girl group has been married for years. Her husband is a powerful big shot from outside the entertainment industry."

[LS? No way.]

[That's way too easy to figure out.]

[No picture, no proof. You expect me to believe this?]

Not long afterward, the gossip account posted a photo of the two embracing. The man's perfect profile was partly visible.

As public opinion exploded, the young master of the Fei family, who was not in show business, reposted the post directly: Yep, it's me.

Weibo crashed, haters came swarming, and a flood of old, expired ship fuel poured in. A major marketing account posted an edit of Lin Shu's past interviews, with the caption: Everyone, ship them with all your might!

"I think people who went to military academies for college are so cool!"

"I like people with a mole on the tip of their nose."

"I've recently gotten into the zodiac. It says I'm pretty compatible with Capricorns."

Fans: ...So were we all deaf and blind?

That night, "She loves him so much" topped the trending topics.

·

A couples' variety show announced its cast, revealing the final couple: Lin Shu and Fei Nan.

Netizens: Sure, let's see how fake they are.

On the day the show aired, the words "Lingnan Couple" shot to the top of the trending topics and went viral.

·

One day after the show ended, staff came to Lin Shu's home to film a New Year's greeting.

Lin Shu: "The Spring Festival is here, and everything is red! Wishing everyone..."

Fei Nan: "Happy New Year."

They stayed completely proper throughout the filming, until a staff member said, "Let's clap together for a perfect ending."

They obediently clapped. "Clap!" As the screen went dark, a woman's very soft voice could also be heard: "..."

* Bold, straightforward, and incredibly brave x slow to catch on and coolly indifferent

* Childhood sweethearts / two-year age gap / both each other's first and only

* Many fictional details / not based on the real world / no real-life inspirations

* Weibo: @Paoyouyu

*Synopsis dated September 13, 2021, revised November 29, 2021

My next story will be Kiss at Four Corners. Here's the synopsis:

Rumor has it the new season of a rural variety show is in trouble. Two of its regular cast members were poached by a famous director to star in a costume romance, and can't take part because of scheduling conflicts.

People on Weibo had all kinds of theories, and the discussion thread grew and grew.

The most-liked comment read: Director, let's see you invite Xu Shuning or Shen Quanyi. Otherwise, I'm not watching. [Dog head]

A week later, Xu Shuning, wanting to return the director's favor, arrived at the rural house with her suitcase to film the show.

She opened the door, and the instant she lifted her eyes, she suddenly met a pair of beautiful dark eyes.

Xu Shuning froze, unable to understand why he was there.

Shen Quanyi stepped forward and took both suitcases. In a casual tone, he asked, "Are you here on vacation?"

Xu Shuning blushed. "No."

·

A few days later, Xu Shuning was catching loaches when her foot slipped. She fell straight to her knees in the mud, smearing her face. She even accidentally landed on Shen Quanyi.

The surroundings fell silent.

Everyone felt they should observe a moment of silence for Xu Shuning.

The next second, Shen Quanyi gently wrapped an arm around her and helped her up, half embracing her. In a low voice, he said, "Be careful. Don't fall."

When the clip aired, the words #BeCarefulDontFall# went viral that night.

Netizens: ...

Later, a photo from a high school sports meet trended online. Netizens recognized the boy not far behind Xu Shuning: Shen Quanyi.

They stood out brilliantly in the crowd.

Netizens: So they went to high school together!

Netizens: No wonder...

Coming soon: I Have a Crush on You. Here's the synopsis:

*A hopeless romantic x a cocky, roguish childhood friend

Lin Tingxi and Liang Shengjing grew up in the same residential compound and were childhood friends. They went to the same school, so you'd think they'd be best friends.

In reality, they couldn't stand each other. They fought over a bottle of milk in kindergarten, eagerly ran for class positions in elementary and middle school just to get one over on each other, and even stole each other's homework to report them for plagiarism...

The moment they stepped through the school gates in their first year of high school, they started trading threats.

Lin Tingxi: "I'm taking first place in the grade."

Liang Shengjing: "First place is mine."

After the results came out several times, Lin Tingxi held the top spot alone, while a classmate teased Liang Shengjing for being runner-up every year.

Before Liang Shengjing could even put on a cold expression, Lin Tingxi suddenly tossed her book aside. "Hey, if you're so capable, why don't you get second place yourself?"

The classmate awkwardly waved his hands and quickly left, pretending he needed to get water.

Liang Shengjing said meaningfully, "You really care about me, huh?"

Lin Tingxi gave him a hard flick on the forehead. "Don't get carried away."

"..."

·

Lin Tingxi and Liang Shengjing would meet at the library to immerse themselves in practice questions, never giving anything else much thought.

But someone happened to see the boy leaning over the edge of the table, coaxing the girl into eating strawberry-bear cookies to replenish her energy. Her eyes were bright, and she didn't look the least bit coerced.

"First place in the grade is mine.

Lin Tingxi is mine."
