My On-Screen Partner Is Acting Strange [Showbiz]

*Coming Soon: The Sickly Beauty Wants to Divorce the Evil God. Evil God gong x sickly beauty shou. Blurb at the very bottom~

Blurb:

Wen Yan, branded the "Scandalous Best Actor," suddenly returns to the entertainment industry after leaving it for four years.

Netizens are outraged and call for a boycott, firmly opposing disgraced celebrities returning to the public eye.

Although he has little good to his name online, Wen Yan's work goes remarkably smoothly after his comeback.

His first project is a gay-themed film with two male leads, co-starring the newly crowned Best Actor Jian Yuyang and an internationally acclaimed director.

Jian Yuyang's fans can't sit still:

"Stay away from that piece of trash, Brother Yang!"

"Wen Yan, get out of the entertainment industry!"

But filming goes ahead without a hitch.

After a month of filming in seclusion, Wen Yan returns to the public eye, and Jian Yuyang's fans become even more frantic:

"He's throwing himself at my brother again!"

"Can he stop getting so close to Brother Yang all the time?"

"Ahhhhh, he deliberately fell into Brother's arms! SOS, I'm blind! What a scheming man!"

In a corner beyond the cameras' reach, Wen Yan pushes Jian Yuyang away and says awkwardly under his breath,

"Nobody's filming. Stop hugging me."

Jian Yuyang doesn't let go.

"Someone is, Brother."

"Let's keep acting for a while. We can't let them catch on."

Wen Yan regrets it a little. He shouldn't have agreed to the demand that he and Jian Yuyang promote themselves as a couple when he signed his agency contract.

What is this supposed to be now?

Jian Yuyang follows him around every day, calling "Brother, Brother" and clinging to him more than a pet.

They're together practically all day at work, and Jian Yuyang won't even separate from him at night.

He comes up with all sorts of bizarre excuses to sleep with Wen Yan.

What could Jian Yuyang possibly have up his sleeve?

He only wants to have his brother, that's all. (starry-eyed.jpg)

Bonus scene:

Wen Yan looks in the bathroom mirror, his lips swollen beyond recognition.

Outside, Jian Yuyang pounds on the door.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."

Wen Yan: "You obviously did it on purpose!"

Jian Yuyang: "I didn't!"

Wen Yan: "You did! You've been acting weird from the very beginning!"

Jian Yuyang: "I just couldn't help myself. I really didn't do it on purpose."

Wen Yan: ???

Reading notes:

1. The gong has had a secret crush on the shou for years. He sometimes gets ahead of himself, but he's a big dog who knows when he's done wrong and changes his ways;

2. Modern alternate universe. The characters aren't based on real people;

3. There's more to the shou's scandal than meets the eye. He's completely innocent;

4. It's best not to imagine real people in these roles, or it'll ruin the mood;

5. The romance won't be angsty. It's sweet with just a little tartness;

6. One side couple's ending won't be the satisfying, feel-good outcome readers would hope for. If that bothers you, please think twice before reading~

Hope you enjoy~

Blurb for the upcoming novel:

Yan Yuqing is an orphan who grew up in a welfare home. He was never properly cared for and became sickly.

At the age of twenty, Yan Yuqing fell in love.

But on his birthday, his partner cheated on him.

That night, Yan Yuqing's high fever wouldn't break. In a daze, he was taken by a tall man to a place of utter darkness.

The man kissed him and told him in a ghostly voice that this was their wedding night.

Yan Yuqing couldn't see his face. His teeth chattered with fright, and his whole body trembled.

In the end, unable to bear the humiliation, he bit his tongue and passed out.

*

The Evil God's thoughts after failing to complete the wedding-night ceremony: Humans are such a hassle.

Yan Yuqing is his destined partner, as well as the tribulation of his destined romance.

To get through this tribulation, he needs to marry his partner and, when they are of one mind, plant an evil mark on him.

But his human partner won't even let him touch him!

And what does being of one mind even mean? What a ridiculous rule!

The Evil God's subordinate thinks: Thank goodness the rules are keeping him in check. Otherwise, that poor human would have lost his life on their wedding night.

But the subordinate keeps smiling and suggests to the Evil God,

"My Lord, humans need an emotional connection. You could take on a human appearance and spend every day with Mr. Yan to build a relationship."

The Evil God: "Ridiculous. Why would I go to all that trouble to cultivate some cheap human feelings?"

That very night, a new neighbor moved in next door to Yan Yuqing.

A handsome, extraordinary-looking man who called himself a master of metaphysics, able to tell fortunes and drive out ghosts.

*

The metaphysics master is considerate and courteous, and he always helps Yan Yuqing deal with the frightening little ghosts.

Moved by his kindness, Yan Yuqing also starts to develop feelings for him.

So Yan Yuqing visits the temple and kneels before the tablet enshrining the Evil God.

Watching this, the Evil God is overjoyed: Look at that, the human has come to repent.

Then Yan Yuqing suddenly speaks: "Respected Mr. Evil God, I want a divorce."

Subordinate: Pfft.

Evil God: ?????

Disguising himself expertly, a tsundere Evil God with overflowing possessiveness, all bark and no bite gong x pure-hearted, frail, sickly beauty shou

Yan Jiu x Yan Yuqing

Bonus scene 1:

Subordinate: My Lord, Mr. Yan has been sitting in the Hall of the Gods for five days without saying a word.

Evil God (smiling): Has he finally come to weep and repent?

Subordinate: No, Mr. Yan is cursing you.

Evil God: ?

Subordinate: The gods have already listened through one round. Mr. Yan is taking a bite to eat, then he'll start another round.

Evil God: ? Why haven't I heard a thing?

Subordinate: The gods are enjoying themselves, so they specifically blocked you out.

Bonus scene 2:

The school holds a social mixer. Yan Yuqing, who would never normally show up to an event like this, makes a rare appearance.

His ex-boyfriend sneaks glances at Yan Yuqing, whose whole demeanor has changed, and wants to get back together.

He sees Yan Yuqing leaving alone and follows him eagerly, only to find a man waiting outside and pinning Yan Yuqing against a tree?!!

Ex-boyfriend: Hmph, there's no way Yan Yuqing, that block of wood, would let a stranger kiss him.

Just wait till you get beaten up, you clueless man!

Then he sees Yan Yuqing hold the man's face in both hands, pucker his lips, blush, and take the initiative to kiss him.

Ex-boyfriend: ??????

Reading notes:

1. The gong isn't human in his true form. He has demonic goat horns on his head, huge black wings rising from his back, beast claws bigger than his face, and a long, thick tail;

2. A sweet little story focused on romance, with the plot taking a back seat;

3. The logic is dead. Everything is in service of the couple;

4. There are supernatural elements, but it probably won't be too scary... right?

5. 1v1, happy ending
