Temporary Cohabitation

Coming in March: Clingy [Showbiz]!

Cheng Shi lives alone in a corner of the city, barely scraping by on his serialized comics. When his family suddenly passes away, he has no choice but to take in his brother's child and look after them for a while, making his already strained life even harder.

A sudden downpour traps Cheng Shi outside a supermarket. He clutches the little one in his arms, his heart shrouded in gloom.

In an instant, a long-handled umbrella appears over his head.

Ren Mingyao's expression is cool and detached. The way he looks down at Cheng Shi is like he's looking at a little dog soaked by the rain.

And yet he tilts the umbrella in his hand toward him once more.

Since they started living together, Ren Mingyao has thought Cheng Shi was just like he was back in school: soft-spoken, and blushing at the slightest tease. Even when working, Cheng Shi is too shy to sit near him, quietly drawing by himself in front of his screen.

Ren Mingyao thought it was a sweet, innocent love story. Until one day, he came home early. Cheng Shi's laptop was on the sofa, and he saw the nearly finished artwork on its screen.

A car tire had run right over his face.

Rising screenwriter Ren Mingyao made a splash with his debut work in college and has won award after award at film festivals at home and abroad. Some say the sincere, moving romance in his scripts is based on his own first love.

Who could have guessed that he would write only one moving love story? In his later works, he either focused on the plot or hired a co-writer to handle the romance. Whenever he wrote it himself, the romantic subplot was a complete mess.

Until one day, he finally got the romance right.

Everyone in the industry speculated that some expert had guided him. Who could possibly have the power to turn something rotten into something magical?

Ren Mingyao: Thanks for asking. I'm at home, living with my first love.

Mutual secret crushes and everyday life raising a kid

Next up: Clingy [Showbiz]!

When Ying Yun was six, his family was blended, and he got a stepbrother who shared neither of his parents.

Shi Huai is exactly six years older than him, and he's perfect in every way except for being a little two-faced. In public, he's a polite, refined, gentle little prince. In private, he's a possessive, big bad wolf with a huge tail. He especially likes to keep tabs on his little brother. He won't even let Ying Yun choose what to eat for breakfast or what color socks to wear.

Even after their parents divorced again and went their separate ways, his brother's claws never let up. If anything, living apart made him even more overbearing. He calls to check in at least three times a day and reminds Ying Yun to eat and sleep on schedule.

The day before his debut, Shi Huai even took a taxi to Ying Yun's school during the half-hour break between leaving the company's dance studio and going to his tutoring class.

His excuse was that Ying Yun had a quiz the next day, so he was bringing him some snacks to cheer him on.

Ying Yun once thought that after his brother debuted, he would be too busy to keep fussing over a little brother who wasn't even related to him by blood.

Who knew that even after Shi Huai became a household-name superstar, Ying Yun still couldn't escape him?

At concerts, Ying Yun gets settled into a VIP seat with the best food and drink, enjoying the best view of the stage in the house.

No one notices the chain glinting faintly beneath his seat, fastened around his ankle.

The stage lights dazzle, and the whole venue erupts in cheers and screams. But Ying Yun lowers his head and types furiously in indignation, listing his brother's offenses on an anonymous forum and voicing his heartfelt frustration.

My brother is way too clingy. What should I do?

A moment later, every reply is the same.

- Confirmed, the OP is just here to show off their relationship. Reported.

- OP, are you sure you mean brother♂?

At first, Ying Yun was very clear about his role. His Shi-ge was the domineering CEO type, so Ying Yun would be the puppy-like younger guy. The brothers might already be the same type in a relationship, so they couldn't also be the same archetype. It would be awkward if they fell for the same wife later and had to fight over her.

A puppy-like younger guy like him was definitely the younger pursuer in a novel, and he needed a gentle, beautiful wife. He'd call him
