I Got the Green Tea Role Down, Then Fell for My Love Rival

[Check out my upcoming novel next door, Aged Liquor [Entertainment Industry]]

Blurb One: The Top's Perspective

The first time Yu Chenshu met Shi Beiqing, he mistook him for a B-list newcomer who was drinking with people to get a role. He insulted Shi Beiqing so badly he nearly made him cry.

He always thought that was why Shi Beiqing couldn't stand him.

Later, he learned that Shi Beiqing thought of him as a rival in love.

Every morning, he'd see Shi Beiqing trotting off with breakfast for Shen Xingning. "Big brother, I got you breakfast!"

In the makeup room, Shi Beiqing would rub Shen Xingning's shoulders and back. "Big brother, you must be tired."

After work, Shi Beiqing insisted on catching a ride with Shen Xingning. "Big brother, we're going the same way~"

But whenever Shi Beiqing was in front of Yu Chenshu, he was a different person.

"What? Breakfast? Does your assistant get paid for nothing?"

"Rub your back? Am I your servant?"

"Ride in your car? My assistant can drive, you know!"

One day, Yu Chenshu settled all those scores and got to enjoy every one of those perks himself.

Then he cornered Shi Beiqing. "I want to hear you call me big brother, too."

Blurb Two: The Bottom's Perspective

Shi Beiqing and Yu Chenshu are two top-tier stars, but every few days, they manage to stir up some new gossip.

[Shi Beiqing gives Yu Chenshu the cold shoulder on set. Is he throwing his weight around?]

Shi Beiqing: That's right. I just don't like him. So what?

[Shi Beiqing and Yu Chenshu don't greet each other at the airport. The atmosphere is painfully awkward!]

Shi Beiqing: Running into him is bad enough. Do I have to say hello, too?

[Yu Chenshu's fans: Shi Beiqing is riding on our Yu's coattails!]

Shi Beiqing: Ha. Do I need to ride on his coattails?

In short, Shi Beiqing can't stand Yu Chenshu, even though he's a best actor.

It's because Yu Chenshu once worked on a drama with Shi Beiqing's idol, and countless fans ship the two of them.

Who would like their love rival?

Later, after Shi Beiqing and Yu Chenshu get together, the two top-tier stars still stir up gossip every few days.

[Shi Beiqing uses a body double on set, showing no professionalism. Yu Chenshu posts online to explain that he has back pain!]

Shi Beiqing: My back hurts. I'm resting at home.

[Two top-tier stars may be living together! Passersby photograph them looking intimate at the supermarket!]

Shi Beiqing: That's us in the photo. They just took a bad picture.

[The Shu-Qing ship is real! So many little details!]

Shi Beiqing: Thanks. I'm shipping them too. I'm dying over here.

[Sharp-tongued, accomplished actor top x straightforward, prickly, flirtatious bottom]
