Wasn't I Supposed to Get Revenge? [Entertainment Industry]

Blurb

1.

Before signing her contract, Xu Xi's goal was to get rich overnight.

After signing, Xu Xi discovered that her boss was none other than her ex-boyfriend, now a top-tier star in the entertainment industry. Her goal dropped to simply staying alive.

Because her boss admitted to her face that he had signed her just to get revenge.

Xu Xi felt guilty and meekly accepted her fate.

After all, three years ago she had left without a word and betrayed the love he had given her.

Then Xu Xi moved into the company's luxurious staff dormitory, got an invitation to a hit variety show, filmed movies, starred in TV dramas, and faked a couple image with her boss...

In short, she became more and more famous, and their couple image grew more and more popular.

Their obsessed fans shouted day and night: Make it official! Get married! Have two kids in three years!

Xu Xi asked guiltily, "Shouldn't we keep our distance now?"

Lu Qi nodded. "Let's make it public."

??? Something seemed off here...

2.

The much-debated Qixi Festival couple was invited to join a celebrity travel reality show.

Xu Xi started a livestream early in the morning. Lu Qi walked into the frame in his pajamas as if no one else were there, lazily resting his chin on her shoulder. In a husky voice, he said, "It's still early. Stay in bed with me a little longer."

His voice trailed off, as if he were acting coy.

The image of the aloof, refined gentleman shattered into pieces.

Xu Xi looked desperately at the camera. "It's not what you think... It really isn't!"

The fans: As if we'd believe that.

Later, the two naturally made their relationship public, got married, and had two kids in three years (not really).

Bystanders: What happened to the claims that the woman was throwing herself at him and forcing him to promote their relationship?

Xu Xi: What happened to the revenge?

Coming soon: "Want to Date Online, Boss?"

Ning Qian has recently fallen for someone.

His online handle is Yanyu. He's punctual, trustworthy, says what's on his mind, and always follows through...

He's nothing like her boss, who has made a habit of turning in his manuscripts late.

And his voice is so! In! Credibly! Good!

Yanyu is aloof and hard to approach, so Ning Qian does her homework and launches her pursuit.

He likes cute girls, so Ning Qian painstakingly studies emoticons.

He likes games, so Ning Qian arranges 19 little monsters into a shape that says she loves him.

He likes traveling, so Ning Qian promptly buys a ticket and arrives at the scenic spot ahead of time.

Hard work pays off, and Ning Qian succeeds.

After they start dating online, Ning Qian often complains to Yanyu about her boss.

"He updates intermittently and keeps playing dead. Why haven't his readers hunted him down yet?!"

The next day, Yan Yun handed in two installments of comic drafts for the first time ever.

"He called me stupid again... You don't have to comfort me. That's exactly what he meant."

The next day, Yan Yun held a small meeting and spent half an hour praising her superior intelligence.

"He! Made! Fun! Of! Me! For! Being! Single!"

Yan Yun finally lost patience. He pushed open the door to the next office and, glaring at the terrified little editor he'd caught slacking off, gritted out, "I fucking want to meet you in real life!"

* A voice-obsessed, naturally straightforward woman x a domineering, scheming boss
