The Top-Tier Star Always Wants to Cuddle Up to Me

[Enter at your own risk. The story went on hiatus for a long time because of real-life issues, so the later plot may go off the rails.]

Yu Zhou is a streamer and a cross-dressing pro. He sings beautifully, dances brilliantly, and can switch effortlessly between a little-girl voice and a mature woman's voice. At his company’s request, he joins a talent competition.

Yi Jie is a top-tier star in the entertainment industry. He's straight, and everyone in the business knows he hates cross-dressing men. He's straighter than a telephone pole. When fans try to pair him with someone, he leads the charge to debunk the rumors.

As luck would have it, Yi Jie becomes Yu Zhou's mentor on the show. He also happens to be Yu Zhou's ex-boyfriend.

When exes meet, their eyes burn with resentment. Yu Zhou can already tell his days ahead are going to be rough, and he's prepared to pack his bags and leave.

If he can't beat him, can't he at least avoid him? Just as Yu Zhou starts steering clear of Yi Jie, Yi Jie comes right up to him. "Why are you hiding so far away? Am I your ex-girlfriend or your ex-boyfriend?"

After that, Yu Zhou finds his ex everywhere he goes. The moment he puts an arm around someone else, Yi Jie grabs him and lifts him up.

Yi Jie: "We're on camera. What kind of conduct is it for two men to cling to each other like this?!"

Then he carries Yu Zhou away.

The CP fans are itching to get started. A video of the two of them is edited and sent trending, and just when everyone expects Yi Jie to come out and debunk the rumors, he manually likes the post.

Everyone: He hit the button by accident. It was definitely an accident!

Later, someone films the two of them kissing through a crack in the door.

Everyone: "Hello? Weren't you the one who hated cross-dressing men and was straighter than a telephone pole?"

P.S.:

1. [A mentor who says one thing and means another, shamelessly flirtatious, and a hypocritical jealous type who plays favorites]

2. [A contestant who's fierce on the surface, a total coward in private, and a hardworking genius]

3. There's very little cross-dressing. The recipient isn't very strong at first, but grows gradually. The author's writing and logic are both pretty amateurish. I'm the sort who isn't very good but loves writing anyway. There are personal liberties taken in the story, so please don't take things too seriously. If that bothers you, feel free to pass.

Coming soon: Will Senior Make the Fake Romance Real?

Synopsis:

Man Tianxing is an actor. At the height of his career, he closes his eyes, opens them again, and finds himself inside a book written by a hater. In the book, he's the opposite of his real-life self: a terrible actor, jealous, and twisted by a role he once stole. He spends the story taking revenge on the protagonist, only to get humiliated in the end.

In his previous life, Man Tianxing was a model worker, diligently filming every day. To maintain his aloof image, he held himself to strict standards. Learning that he had been given a second life, Man Tianxing throws all that aside and completely lets loose, determined to be a lazy couch potato. The most important thing on his mind is food.

As for the plot of the book, Man Tianxing crosses his legs, cracks sunflower seeds, and watches the young man in an apron in the kitchen. "The plot was written by a hater. What does it have to do with me?"

.

Shen Liu is rumored to be the son of a publicly listed company's owner. He's rich, handsome, and has a cool, cocky air. Fans dubbed him the Nation's Young Master as soon as he debuted. But his first drama stole a role from Man Tianxing, leading their fans to fight on Weibo for days.

The two join the same rural-life variety show, and fans from both sides rub their hands together, ready to fight for their idols.

When the show begins, everyone sits in front of their screens, ready to compete for the fastest comments. Then something seems a little off. Shen Liu's fans see their aloof Nation's Young Master chasing Man Tianxing around in an apron and blushing every other moment. And wasn't Man Tianxing supposed to be a terrible actor? How did he end up becoming Shen Liu's teacher?

When they see Man Tianxing act out a scene with Shen Liu, with that smoldering gaze from Man Tianxing and Shen Liu's bright-red face, the fans from both sides exchange glances: These two handsome men look so good together. Should we ship them?

Man Tianxing: Thanks, but I'm just teaching him how to act.

Shen Liu: I can hold my own in public and cook in the kitchen. Can we make our fake romance real?

At first, the recipient flirts with the attacker without realizing it. Later, the attacker takes the initiative to flirt with the recipient.

It's basically the story of a foodie couch potato coveting someone else's cooking, only to end up giving himself away.

Theme: Work hard to grow stronger, and stand side by side with the one you love.
