Blurb:

Chen Ci and Nan Musheng are rivals, true rivals.

Chen Ci snatches resources from Nan Musheng, while Nan Musheng pushes Chen Ci down the billing order. They dig up every scrap of dirt on each other, and their haters and paid trolls swarm like bunches of grapes. If possible, the two of them would be better off never meeting for all eternity, with one living at a space station in the Arctic and the other playing with penguins in Antarctica.

Chen Ci pointed at Nan Musheng. "I've been sick of you for more than a day or two!"

Nan Musheng raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence. I've been sick of you for more than three or four days."

Then, one day, their eyes met! Had the matchmaker tied the red thread from a dog's neck to a pig's ankle?

First look: they glare at each other, loathing the sight of one another;

Second look: they stare up at the sky, their eyes getting tired;

Third look: wait, on closer inspection, why is he so handsome???

Chen Ci: "I want to change our relationship."

Nan Musheng: "What kind of relationship?"

Chen Ci: "The kind that can't be described from the neck down."

An elegant, composed, scheming top x a carefree, uninhibited, cheerful bottom. Two top-tier stars, with a genuine-rivals setup. The characters are not based on real people.

Upcoming novel: I Heard the Champion's Partner Is Me. Blurb:

Basketball superstar Lin Chenye could easily make a living off his looks, but insists on relying on his skill. People are extremely interested in his private life, but the superstar is simply too disciplined.

While other players go clubbing at night, Lin Chenye is practicing basketball.

While other players leave some beauty's room in the morning, Lin Chenye is practicing basketball.

While other players marry their girlfriends, Lin Chenye is a groomsman, and goes right back to practicing basketball afterward.

While other players' children are being born, Lin Chenye is getting ready to take the kids along to practice basketball.

Don't ask. Practicing basketball is what makes him happy!

Then, one day, this man, whose private life was as plain as a glass of water and had cost countless paparazzi a fortune, suddenly told the media that there was someone he'd liked for many years.

The news came out of nowhere and sent countless netizens reeling. They swore to turn the world upside down to uncover Lin Chenye's partner.

At that very moment, popular online novelist Jiang Xingzhou was typing away at his computer. He happened to click on a gossip article pushed to him by an official WeChat account. Hm? I heard Lin Chenye's partner is me?

One day, Lin Chenye knocked on Jiang Xingzhou's door.

Lin Chenye: "Xingzhou, I'd like to practice with you."

Jiang Xingzhou: "I don't play basketball."

Lin Chenye: "I meant I want to practice kissing with you."
