My Rival Is Actually My Ex-Boyfriend [Showbiz]

In the year they graduated, Yu Wan wished that she and Fang Lang would be together forever, while Fang Lang wrote on his wish card that he hoped to become an internationally renowned singer. In the seventh year of their relationship, Fang Lang became her ex-boyfriend. Their love ended in the most wretched and humiliating way. On the night they broke up, Fang Lang denied that their relationship had ever meant anything. He even changed his name to cut ties with the past, all to fulfill his dream of becoming a superstar. Yu Wan was left behind, trapped in the memories of their beautiful love, unable to wake from the false dream. From then on, they went their separate ways, and should never have seen each other again. A year later, Fang Lang, now renamed Fang Ningxi, took the stage as a rock singer and topped the trending charts. Yu Wan also shot to fame with her new song, becoming the year's most popular new singer. The former lovers met again on the red carpet at an awards ceremony, but they were strangers now. Because of the rumor that they would never appear in the same frame, fans saw them as bitter rivals. Whenever one of them trended, a storm of insults and mutual attacks would follow. No one knew that, when they were still unknown, they had loved each other passionately. In corners of their campus and in dimly lit rented rooms, they had held fast to their burning ideals and fervent love for each other, spending seven years of their youth together. It took Yu Wan seven years to escape the shadow of being dumped. Yet her ex, who had long since become a stranger, suddenly returned and began showering her with attention. Fang Ningxi said that now that they had successful careers, they could pursue love again, and he hoped to get back together with Yu Wan. But Yu Wan no longer wanted any ties to him. The man she had loved was Fang Lang, who had talked about his dreams with her on campus fourteen years ago, not Fang Ningxi, who had become a stranger fourteen years later. Reader's Guide: 1.

Completed danmei crime investigation novel: The Sea and the Letter [Crime Investigation] Upcoming danmei entertainment industry novel: Later, I Stopped Loving Him Jiang Xiyou has known Liang Sining for twenty years and had a crush on him for five. From kindergarten through university graduation, he thought he'd hidden his feelings well. He never expected a variety show to expose them completely. Liang Sining, who prided himself on being a straight man who hated gay people, blocked all of Jiang Xiyou's contact information overnight. Jiang Xiyou became a laughingstock among the wealthy. Jiang Xiyou locked away the comics he'd drawn about his youthful crush and went alone to a picturesque southern town, creating in isolation from the world. Five years later, the comic artist Xiyou returned with a new work. Online readers showered it with praise, while some discussed the past love story between him and the popular singer Liang Sining. Jiang Xiyou calmly said, "We were young and foolish back then. Who could take it seriously?" The truth was, he had long since stopped loving Liang Sining. Liang Sining watched that interview over and over, yet felt a dull ache in his heart. When he saw Jiang Xiyou again, it was at a cocktail party. He walked over with his glass and greeted him. "Youyou, long time no see." Jiang Xiyou only gave him a polite, distant smile. "A pleasure to meet you." Theme: Better to focus on your career than chase romance
