What Should a Poisonous-Milk Top-Tier Star Do After Getting Stuck With Someone? [Ancient to Modern]

Wu Ya was just like his name, a jinx who could make bad things happen just by saying them.

The Wu family was considered an ill omen by the world and driven into the mountains, where they barely survived for a hundred years. Now, Wu Ya was the last of his line.

He had planned to live out his days free of worldly desires, but after waking up one day, he found himself in the body of a pretty-boy actor from beyond the mountains, and was forced to sign with Cheng Jincheng, the entertainment industry's famous young heir.

Out of concern for the young man, Wu Ya greeted Cheng Jincheng with warm, kindly warnings every time they met. “Watch your step.” “Take your time drinking.” “You did great!”

The result: the young heir, a lucky man who had enjoyed twenty years of smooth sailing, tripped into a mud puddle on flat ground, got water stuck between his teeth, and even split his pants on set in front of everyone.

Cheng Jincheng: ...

Wu Ya: ...TwT (Trying out the cutesy act he just learned. Is it working?)

To stop bringing disaster to his boss, Wu Ya decided to keep his distance from Cheng Jincheng. He went to a countryside variety show to hunt and practice calligraphy instead, but became a sensation all on his own, prompting the entire entertainment industry to beg him to keep quiet.

Feeling guilty, Wu Ya packed his bags in the middle of the night and quit the industry. But suddenly, the young heir pinned him down.

The man's aggressively possessive presence closed in, his voice low and dangerous. “You seduced me, and now you think you can run?”

Wu Ya was dumbfounded.

Cheng Jincheng had enjoyed smooth sailing for more than twenty years, until he met Wu Ya.

That washed-up actor was practically his nemesis. Whenever they ran into each other, he would at the very least trip on flat ground or get water stuck between his teeth.

Then one day, Cheng Jincheng opened a book titled The Psychology of Love:

[Falling for someone is the beginning of bad luck.]

Cheng Jincheng was shocked. Cheng Jincheng understood.

How was this a curse? It was obvious the pretty-boy actor's heart raced and he lost his composure whenever he saw him!

What a masterful game of playing hard to get. What a clever scheme, hiding his true intentions in plain sight.

But when Cheng Jincheng magnanimously decided to accept Wu Ya's deep feelings, he discovered that the pretty-boy actor treated him like a plague, running away as soon as he caught sight of his sleeve.

Cheng Jincheng was not having it.

Backstage at a banquet, Cheng Jincheng took the opportunity to corner Wu Ya, who had been avoiding him, in a narrow alcove.

The young heir trapped him in his arms, lifting his chin with long fingers. He smiled with confidence and indulgence. “All right, stop hiding. Since you love me so much... I wouldn't mind making our act real.”

His scorching breath made Wu Ya's ears turn red.

He clutched his chest. “Make what real? What are you talking about... What kind of behavior is this in public?!”

Cheng Jincheng leaned close, his warm breath brushing Wu Ya's trembling lips. His voice curled enticingly at the end. “Public isn't good enough? Then... how about somewhere nobody can see us?”

Wu Ya's vision went black.

The world beyond the mountains really was debauched! What a sin, what a sin!
