Sweet heiress x top screenwriter
[Synopsis]
Everyone in the industry knows Xu Taotao has played a villainous supporting character in a hit drama five times, always as herself. With her powerful family backing her, she's spoiled and willful, her love life is a wasteland, and she's public enemy number one among the industry's gossip-hungry fans.
After reuniting at the wrap party with her childhood friend, screenwriter Bai Yunnan, the two accidentally let alcohol carry them over the line that had defined their friendship for more than a decade.
*
That night, Xu Taotao suppressed the affection she'd kept hidden for years. With an air of haughty disdain, she tossed Bai Yunnan's newly written script onto his chest and teased, "The story's passable, the foreshadowing's clumsy. Keep working at it!"
Bai Yunnan smiled faintly and gently lifted her slender ankle.
"How about I 'write' it for you one more time?"
On the day of their engagement ceremony, Bai Yunnan stood straight beside Xu Taotao in a black suit. Before he could get out the word "no," a pregnancy test report forced him to change his answer to "I do!"
From then on, the Xu family of Dongchuan City had a live-in son-in-law, and the screenwriting world lost a rising star.
*
But their good fortune didn't last. In their third year of marriage, the day Xu Corporation's stock crashed and the company declared bankruptcy, Xu Taotao panicked! She glanced down at the son in front of her, his big, bright eyes blinking up at her. His face looked eighty percent like the man appearing on a currently airing interview with a major figure from behind the scenes of film and television. She let out a heavy sigh. What could she do now to keep enjoying the perks of being the mother of his child?
That night in the master bedroom, Bai Yunnan propped his chin on one hand and coolly tossed Xu Taotao's audition video in front of her, criticizing it: "Your expressions are off, your timing is a little slow, and your emotions are too shallow..."
When he saw the corners of his wife's eyes reddening with silent hurt, Bai Yunnan gave an awkward little cough.
"But I suppose I can get used to it!"
Xu Taotao's red lips curved as she grabbed the tie at his chest.
"Want to see me 'act' it out for you again?"

Next up: Swallowtail Butterflies (Showbiz)
Everyone knows that celebrated actress Meng Nidie is Third Master Shen of Nancheng's pampered little plaything, and that sooner or later, he might simply toss her aside.
Only she doesn't realize it. Despite her status as a Best Actress, she has gone to the Shen Corporation several times to find him, only for the secretary to send her away with impeccable politeness.
That's because Third Master Shen once said that, from ancient times to the present, performers have always been at the bottom of society, unfit to appear in respectable company. So they can only acknowledge each other at night.
*
At first, Meng Nidie attached herself to Shen Yanli because she wanted a better life. She needed a chance to audition for a role that could make her famous, while he needed a beauty as a convenient excuse to fend off his family's arranged marriage plans!
People said that Shen Yanli had once held this "swallowtail butterfly" so high that, when her wings were suddenly broken and she fell to the ground, anyone could trample on her.
Through the curtain of rain, Meng Nidie looked at the man's indifferent expression as he stood beneath the eaves, and for the first time, she felt a chill rise from deep within her. So there was someone else in his heart!
*
Later, Meng Nidie got a swallowtail butterfly tattooed on her ankle, concealing an ugly scar beneath it.
Shen Yanli leaned forward and knelt on one knee, gently lifting her jade-like foot. He handled it with such care, as if afraid of damaging a precious treasure he had longed for but could never have.
He said, "Your butterfly would look better on your waist, fluttering seductively with a smile meant only for me."
Meng Nidie gave a cold laugh and pulled back her high heel. Her jewel-red lips parted. "Who do you think you are? Get lost, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
Reader's Guide:
1. 1v1, both leads' first time, classic regretful-ex redemption trope, happy ending
2. Fictional elements, no real-life inspiration
3. The male lead has no first love! It's all a misunderstanding!
Theme: A beautiful life is created with your own two hands
Huahua, finally the baby is coming, I hope he is also a naughty child, hahahaha
Can you please stop describing her mother? There are still a few chapters that can be written in the text. The front part is not very attractive. I just want to read the plot in the text...
It's locked, didn't see it???
Huahua, I don't want to marry.

Next book is "Yan Er Butterfly (Entertainment Circle)" Everyone knows that the famous actor Meng Youdie is a little thing that Mr. Shen of Nancheng keeps in the palm of his hand. He might throw it away at any time. But she didn't know it, and she went to Shen's door several times to look for him under the title of actress, but was "politely" invited out by the secretary. Just because Mr. Shen said that throughout the ages, actors have always been low-level actors who cannot get on the stage, so they can only get to know each other at night. Meng Youdie initially clung to Shen Yanli in order to live a better life. She lacked a chance to audition for fame, and he needed an 'excuse' to resist family marriage! People say that Shen Yanli held the Swallowtail Butterfly so high that once it fell to the ground with its broken wings, anyone could step on it. Looking at the indifferent expression of the man standing under the eaves through the rain curtain, Meng Youdie felt coldness in her heart for the first time. It turns out that there is someone else who is at the forefront of his heart! Later, Meng Youdie got a swallowtail butterfly tattoo on her ankle, and there was an extremely ugly scar underneath. Chen Yanli leaned forward, knelt down on one knee, and gently held up her jade feet. He looked cautious, as if he was afraid of damaging a treasure that he had been asking for for a long time. He said: "Your butterfly is more suitable for hanging on the waist. It only smiles at me and eats happily." Meng Youdie sneered and pulled back her high heels, her beady lips parted slightly: "Are you worthy? Please stay away, walk slowly and don't give me away!"
