The Movie Emperor Is Too Deep in Character

A seemingly gentle and refined, but actually scheming, movie star who steadily sets traps to win over his wife x an ethereal, gentle, and reserved guzheng teacher

Everyone knows that movie star Fu Yan Cheng has god-tier acting skills and a career at the height of its success. His love life, however, has remained empty, and online rumors that he is gay never seem to die down.

Then one day, someone photographs him chatting and laughing as he walks side by side with an ethereal-looking young woman. The pictures are posted online, and Fu Yan Cheng's love life becomes the focus of everyone's attention.

Fu Yan Cheng seizes the opportunity to ask Yin Qiutong, "Would you be willing to marry me? Just for show."

Yin Qiutong hesitates, then agrees. If he really needs news of a marriage to calm the public uproar, she's happy to help him out.

After her family suffers a sudden upheaval and her boyfriend betrays her, Yin Qiutong is left heartbroken. Then she meets Fu Yan Cheng, who helps her overcome one family crisis after another.

Later, she agrees to Fu Yan Cheng's request for a marriage of convenience. She figures it should be fine. After all, the entertainment media say he doesn't like women, and he's never denied or clarified the rumors. Everyone takes that as confirmation.

Then, later still, she looks at her pregnancy test and feels the sky collapsing over her. Wasn't this marriage supposed to be just for show?

You really can't trust what a man says before marriage. You can't trust the entertainment media either. Boohoo~~

Fu Yan Cheng simply smiles, his expression inscrutable. "Now that we're married, it's for life."

A mature man who seems gentle and harmless but is actually a schemer, pursuing his wife with one trick after another. Have you learned your lesson?

★ Bonus Scene:

At her ex-boyfriend's wedding, Fu Yan Cheng arrives dressed to the nines with Yin Qiutong, drawing everyone's attention.

"Why are you here? Did you come just to make trouble for me?"

Before she can answer her ex-boyfriend, Fu Yan Cheng coolly says, "You should call her Auntie."

Bystander A: So this is basically a story about [After My Trash Ex Dumped Me, I Married His Uncle]...

Bystander B: (Starry-eyed) What a thrilling premise. I love this setup.

The author, looking serious: Hmm... That title is direct enough. It could work.

Yin Qiutong turns to her husband, confused. "What are they talking about?"

Fu Yan Cheng's lips curl slightly, but his eyes are cold enough to freeze someone to death. "My wife doesn't like it. Don't use that title!"

Notes: 1. This is a companion novel to He, the Top-Tier Star, Wants to Propose Every Day.

2. There is a twelve-year age gap between the leads.

3. The heroine is quiet and gentle, with a soft, easygoing temperament. She is not a strong female lead.

Theme: Love at first sight that lasts a lifetime.
