[Coming next, please add to your collection] Upcoming danmei: The Fake Young Master Becomes a Star, and His Scumbag Ex Gets His Comeuppance [Story Description] Top student Lin Zhi has always thought of school bully Han Junze as a big dog he adores. Loyal and clingy, and when he does something wrong, he follows Lin Zhi around with puppy-dog eyes. A textbook hopeless romantic. He brings him breakfast and begs for praise. He gets a problem right and begs for praise. He chases off a love rival and begs for praise. The big dog wags his tail excitedly. A good dog should learn to put away his claws now and then, act cute, and get the other person to confess first. But in front of everyone else, this big dog is unruly and aggressive. Even Lin Zhi gets caught in the crossfire sometimes. When his mouth is bitten until it hurts, all he can do is helplessly smooth the dog's fur first: "Be good. I like you best." - As a stray dog, Han Junze is possessive by nature and wants to claim his territory. When he learns one day that he has been "abandoned," the paws he has always kept tucked away violently tear open Lin Zhi's collar. He bites a deep mark into the hollow of his shoulder, leaving a sign that says he belongs to him. Only then does Lin Zhi realize this dog isn't suited to being kept as a pet. When they graduate, he resolutely chooses to study abroad, thinking that they have long since ended things for good. Four years after their separation, Lin Zhi returns to China. In a noisy bar, he spots a tall man in a suit from a distance. He is pinned against the wall, the masculine scent of the man behind him invading his senses until his legs go weak. Han Junze grits his teeth, staring at the old bite scar on Lin Zhi's neck and shoulder. A sinister green light flickers in his eyes as he says with a mocking smile: "Lin Zhi, you dared to abandon me before. From now on, I'll make sure you can never escape me for the rest of your life." Lin Zhi: I'm shocked. So I was dealing with a wolf in a dog's skin all along???

The dazzling golden phoenix who captivates everyone onstage is a beautiful caged bird belonging to him alone. Only later does he learn that He Qi isn't a caged bird. He's a magpie whose nest Qin Zhouqiao took over, and the true young master of his family. Overnight, the fake heir falls from being adored by all to being treated like trash by everyone. His parents order Qin Zhouqiao to break up immediately and want nothing more than to drive him out of the family. Fans treat him like a public enemy, cursing him online and making memorial portraits and degrading edits of him. Hanging from a wire on set, He Qi looks down at him with a cold sneer. "For these six years, there hasn't been a moment when I didn't want to get away from you. Now I'm finally free." "You stole someone else's life and still expected me to love you? You're only good enough to sleep with." Abandoned by everyone and despised by all, Qin Zhouqiao becomes a walking joke. - After the set collapses in an accident, Qin Zhouqiao wakes up in the hospital with a heart ashen. Unexpectedly, the next day a beautiful, well-dressed woman rushes into his hospital room, hugging him and crying as she calls him her son. He Qi, whom Qin Zhouqiao rescued in the collapse, thought he was gravely injured and beyond saving. He uses every connection he has to find him, arriving in a sorry state, only to see Qin Zhouqiao looking radiant at a banquet with his new parents, celebrating his return to his real family. Qin Zhouqiao looks at him blankly. "Sorry, who are you?" He Qi freezes, then grits his teeth. His smile betrays a deranged madness. "No one. Maybe it's better that you've forgotten." - One day in the future, a promotional film for a historical fantasy game is released, and the stunning beauty dressed in white becomes a national heartthrob. Qin Zhouqiao receives offer after offer for appearances and collaborations, making others jealous. His antis smear him with rumors, claiming he keeps a lover outside the industry to warm his bed! Later, during a live interview, Qin Zhouqiao impatiently answers a phone call that has rung countless times. He forgets to take off his microphone. "...Zhouqiao," a certain intoxicated top-tier star repeats his name, his voice lonely and hoarse. "I don't want to be free anymore. I only want you. Will you come back to me...?" Qin Zhouqiao hangs up with a blank expression. As the whole room falls into stunned silence, he smiles. "A nuisance call. Let's continue."
