[Main story complete] My next novel is Cherry Blossom and Tang Blossom Days [Entertainment Industry], a gentle story of lovers reuniting after a breakup. Thanks for adding it to your collection! Blurb: Over summer vacation, a xianxia romance idol drama became a huge hit. The leads both rose to fame, and even the supporting cast made a splash. The heroine, Shi You, was quirky and adorable, a striking contrast to the aloof immortal who was willing to give up everything for the people in the drama. She became the internet's adopted daughter to countless netizens. After Shi You shot to fame, she was invited to appear on Green Lemon TV's slow-living variety show. After the show aired, netizens pushed a hashtag to the top of the trending list: #Fu Yanci and Shi You Are Dating# As the youngest Grand Slam Best Actor in the industry, Fu Yanci had countless fans, including many who saw themselves as his girlfriend. When the trending topic appeared, the fan community erupted in wails. Before long, Fu Yanci's team denied the rumors: "Please show your support for @Fu Yanci's new variety show. Don't believe or spread rumors." The other guests also reposted the statement and commented: [Youyou is sweet and adorable. We all treat her like a little sister. Please support the variety show and don't believe rumors.] Fu Yanci liked this comment. Shi You stared at the comment that said "liked by Fu Yanci" for a long time, speechless. No one knew that she had liked Fu Yanci for eight years, but those eight years were all she had. - Some time after The Shining Days aired, a question became popular on a Q&A site: #What do you do if you fall for your childhood friend, whom you've always treated like a little sister?# Among many short stories about tragic love, one fairly serious answer read: [If you like them, go for it. Missing your chance is more regretful than being rejected.] A certain Best Actor frowned and pondered for a long time before liking the answer. One day, Fu Yanci's fans were astonished to discover that the aloof, celibate actor had somehow turned into a peacock, showing off nonstop on the show. And the object of his display was none other than the rumored little sister, Shi You. Viewer 1: Ooh, look at you two! Viewer 2: My Wi-Fi must be acting up today. I'll switch to mobile data and try again. Fu Yanci: Youyou, what do you want to eat today? Shi You: Don't come any closer! [You should know that you aren't a choice I made after weighing the pros and cons. You are the unwavering decision I made after my heart skipped a beat, even knowing I shouldn't. - Haruki Murakami] Note: No real-life inspirations. Don't read anything into it. Coming soon: Sinking Deeper [Entertainment Industry] Preview: [Rekindled romance | Reunion after years apart | Mutual salvation] As a young man, Jiang Yunian made a sudden entrance into the entertainment industry. With his striking, darkly handsome face, he quickly caught the public's attention. Rumors followed him everywhere, and countless people called him a playboy. As a young woman, Wen Tang was the goddess countless students at Yuhua University dreamed about. She was gentle and serene, modest and reserved. To make ends meet, Wen Tang entered the entertainment industry, a place she had never set foot in before, and starred opposite Jiang Yunian in a film as a pair of rivals who were secretly in love with each other. On camera, the two were at daggers drawn, yet undercurrents flowed between them. Off camera, beneath the shade of a banyan tree that would take several people to encircle, the young man gripped the girl's slender waist as their breaths slowly mingled. After the film premiered, the two became an overnight sensation as a couple, and their fans found countless sweet moments in behind-the-scenes videos. Just as rumors about them were raging and almost everyone thought they were together, Wen Tang posted a clarification: [We're just friends.] Not long after, Jiang Yunian announced his retirement from the entertainment industry. And with that, the Wen-Jiang ship sank for good. Their fans were heartbroken. * When they met again, Jiang Yunian had been retired for three years and had become the undisputed head of the Jiang family. He was invited as a presenter to the film awards ceremony. The man was distinguished and cool, his presence more dazzling than the star-studded stage itself. "Congratulations, Best Actress: Wen Tang." In the distance, countless lights converged on one spot. The woman on camera smiled openly, radiant and gentle, confident and resolute. At the banquet after the ceremony, the man walked steadily through the crowd with a glass of champagne in hand and approached Wen Tang. The champagne shimmered softly in the light. "Wen Tang, long time no see." Wen Tang looked up, her gentle eyes calm and untroubled. "Sir, do we know each other?" At her words, the ruthless man who had always been in control of the business world instantly reddened around the eyes. But later, after the banquet ended, the man, reeking of alcohol, caught hold of Wen Tang's sleeve, his expression stubborn and obsessive. "Wen Tang, how can you decide we're breaking up without asking me? I don't accept it." Note: The male lead only pretends to be a playboy. He's devoted at heart and a master of convincing himself of things. Theme: May all lovers find their happy ending.
