After Trending, I Got Together with the Movie Emperor

Chu Li is a famously useless pretty face in the entertainment industry.

He really is handsome. Even his number-one hater was caught liking a video praising Chu Li's looks, and the anti-fan became a secret admirer.

And he really is useless. He's absent-minded, forgetful, and face-blind. He forgot his character's name during an interview and mistook the director when handing over a microphone. Everyone knows him as the Diamond Vase.

Later, in an attempt to get famous, he openly fangirled over a star, showed up to greet him in person, and called the newly crowned Best Actor Lu Yinhan "Little Flower." He even pretended to faint and fell against Lu Yinhan. The hashtag criticizing him shot straight to the top of the trending list.

He was finally famous, but only a step away from dying.

Everyone knew that Lu Yinhan, the youngest Best Actor in history, was as aloof and reserved as his name suggested. He was also the youngest son of the century-old Lu family, and had quite a temper. Plenty of men and women had tried to cozy up to him, and every one of them had come to regret it. A man like that could crush Chu Li without even making a phone call.

Even the anti-fans said that if Chu Li left the industry and became a male escort, they might consider hiring him.

Who could have guessed that Chu Li wouldn't just avoid being blacklisted, but would become livelier than ever? His roles kept getting better, and he joined Lu Yinhan on a hugely popular variety show without being targeted at all. Even the outfit he wore to ride Lu Yinhan's coattails on the red carpet turned out to be a one-of-a-kind, made-to-measure designer piece from the current season, leaving top-tier stars of far greater status in the dust.

Just as the anti-fans were getting ready to investigate which rich benefactor Chu Li had latched onto, a high-definition photo suddenly surfaced of someone pinning Chu Li down and kissing him backstage. Chu Li's eyes were alluring, his expression utterly seductive.

Before the onlookers could react, Lu Yinhan, who had once been so high and mighty that he couldn't even be bothered to repost movie promotions, suddenly pinned a post to his account: "Little Chestnut and Little Flower will be together forever."

The entire internet crashed the next second.

Everyone said Chu Li must have saved the world in his previous life to be this lucky. Even the anti-fans who had always looked down on him urged him to live happily with the Best Actor and not waste all the effort he'd put into scheming his way there.

Only Chu Li knew the truth: he was straight. He really did love Little Flower, but who could have guessed that Little Flower was the childhood self of an actor who sometimes dressed as a woman?

The author is a country bumpkin, so all I can write is country-bumpkin-level plotlines.

Coming Soon: An Omega Without His Mark

At twenty-five, Su Zhenshi thought his life was a joke. After three years of marriage, he still hadn't realized that his husband loved someone else.

Their marriage had been a union of convenience, but he was the only one who'd taken it seriously and fallen in love. To everyone else, he was laughable.

Even heaven couldn't bear to watch him be so foolish. When he caught his husband pouring his heart out to the younger brother who was only his brother in name, he finally understood: because of their high compatibility, he'd been chosen as nothing more than an omega to help ease his husband's rut symptoms.

After breaking down, he had his mark removed as quickly as possible and left. He found a scenic little town and slowly began to mend his broken heart.

His peaceful days didn't last long. A young alpha moved into the run-down rental building downstairs...

He Huaizhang first saw Su Zhenshi in the warm sunshine of early spring. He'd left home in a fit of anger with no money to his name, sold his beloved guitar, and come to Ping'an Town. He'd used what little money he had left to rent a shabby first-floor apartment, and his spirits were at their lowest.

His omega neighbor held a bundle of unopened magnolia buds and gave him a small smile. Beneath the sunshine, the omega's skin glowed, almost translucent, and his beauty seemed like an illusion.

The magnolias were still brown, downy buds, not yet in bloom, but when his neighbor walked by, He Huaizhang thought he caught a faint magnolia fragrance.

From then on, a beauty he could never forget appeared in He Huaizhang's dreams.

An ABO story about having a mark removed and a groveling ex, with a new love interest. The protagonist successfully runs away at the very start and meets the true love interest. Age gap: the younger love interest is a rebellious college student who has run away from home, and is eighteen when they first meet.
