Previews: Model Lovers and Expired Promotion. Please add them to your collection! [Blurb] Rong Ge applies to be Jiang Chenyue's bodyguard. His employer has only one requirement: he wants Rong Ge to be wild. Rong Ge looks at the terms he's been offered: all meals, drinks, lodging, and entertainment covered, plus a salary of 100,000 a month and a house and car. That's incredibly tempting. So he accepts on the spot. - Before starting the job, Rong Ge imagines life as a bodyguard: wearing sunglasses and a black suit, with three parts icy, four parts rebellious, and five parts "don't mess with me." But once he starts, Rong Ge finds himself facing an endless parade of admirers around Jiang Chenyue. And the job Jiang Chenyue gives him is to wildy cut down that parade of admirers. Rong Ge ponders: For the money, I suppose I can handle it. One day, a rising star from the group's entertainment company stops Jiang Chenyue. "Mr. Jiang, I heard you'd be at the wrap party today, so I prepared a gift for you. This tie..." Jiang Chenyue dodges the hand reaching toward him. "Rong Ge." Rong Ge: Got it. In a flash, Rong Ge pins the rising star against the car, bracing an elbow on the window. He takes the tie from the star's hand, ties a pretty bow around his wrist, then leans in and murmurs a gentle threat: "Stay away from my boss from now on. What goes around comes around, and if you keep pestering him, I'll make you regret it..." Jiang Chenyue sits in the car, proudly reduced to a mere background character. Rising star: Bodyguard bro is so handsome. Rising star: Blush.jpg One night, the heir to the X family gets Jiang Chenyue drunk at a party, hoping to snuggle into his warm embrace. Rong Ge acts at once, slinging an arm around the heir's shoulders and pretending to be cold as he says, "If you feel unwell, lean on my shoulder. Don't go crowding my boss." Heir to the X family: What a lucky turn of events! Heir to the X family: Hugs tightly.jpg Rong Ge does an excellent job. But not long after, Jiang Chenyue realizes that the countless admirers around him haven't gone away. The only difference is that now they're all circling Rong Ge. Rong Ge smoothly takes off his sunglasses and brushes his bangs back. "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. From now on, I'll be the heartthrob for you!" Jiang Chenyue: ... No, I don't want that.

Fang Yi once starred in a sweet drama with two male leads. The show made him and the other lead, Jing Rong, instant sensations, with countless fans shipping them across the internet. Unfortunately, Fang Yi proved in practice that their ship was doomed to end in tragedy. --- On the last day of filming, he confessed to Jing Rong and was rejected. Jing Rong considers himself completely straight. After his sudden fame, Fang Yi's popularity plummeted because he turned down every similar script. He went from being offered nothing but dramas with two male leads to having no work at all, and through sheer determination became a nobody on the fringes of the industry. Meanwhile, Jing Rong, who had once worked alongside him, was lucky enough to take a completely different path: he won an award for Best Actor and became a box-office king. 2. Two years later, when the sweet drama had long since faded from the public eye, Fang Yi suddenly received an invitation to appear on a show featuring on-screen couples. The production invited him and Jing Rong to appear on the variety show Reignite the Romance as their once-popular on-screen couple, and rekindle their connection. Fang Yi puts on his professional persona and studies Jing Rong's preferences, tastes, interests, and life story in advance. The fans read every word as proof that "he loves him so much." By comparison, Jing Rong doesn't know the answer to a single question on set, which is almost impressively unprofessional. Until the moment comes to really put on a show, and Fang Yi starts to hesitate. Everyone else is holding hands. Should we hold hands too? Fang Yi sneaks a glance at Jing Rong's hand. Before he can say a word, Jing Rong takes his hand without hesitation and laces their fingers together. Everyone else is sleeping in the same tent while camping outdoors. Should we sleep together too? Fang Yi finishes setting up the tent. When he looks up a little later, Jing Rong has already put two pillows inside, as if all that's left is to say good night. Everyone else says goodbye after filming. Shouldn't we also...? At least, that's what Fang Yi thinks. But that day, he suddenly finds himself in Jing Rong's arms, and can't break free no matter how much he struggles. Fang Yi innocently lifts his chin, and in an instant understands the meaning in Jing Rong's eyes. What do I do when the straight guy who rejected my confession seems to want me back?
