The Natural-Born Star and His Ever-Changing Juniors

Bai Xinyu was widely known as the "godfather of bromance dramas." Even the stiffest newcomer could be turned into a passionate leading man under his guidance. He not only kept viewers up all night shipping the characters, but also left his junior costars deeply grateful and unable to forget him after filming wrapped.

Until he met Gao Xiao that year.

Gao Xiao was a major ordeal in his acting career: he slacked off and stirred up trouble throughout filming, with his resistance turned up to the max. Later, he argued with Bai Xinyu at every turn, yet worked hard to improve. He had no acting experience, but was way too good at improvising. Day and night, he left Bai Xinyu physically and emotionally exhausted...

Fortunately, the show aired and Gao Xiao finally became a huge star. But Bai Xinyu had tamed this mad dog and turned him gay. Whenever a former junior appeared by his side, Gao Xiao would instantly turn red-eyed and proclaim ownership that didn't even exist?

Later, a crack was forced into the walls around his heart.

"If you want to sleep with me, come in."

Gao Xiao's eyes lit up, but Bai Xinyu held him back by the chest as he stepped over the threshold.

"I said crawl in."

Gao Xiao had only just been acknowledged by his birth mother when his stepfather schemed to manipulate him into making his debut in an explicit drama.

He acted crazy, played dumb, and made the set a living nightmare. He hoped the show would flop so his sleazy stepfather couldn't use it to ruin his image in his mother's eyes.

But he never expected to fall for Bai Xinyu, the bad man who had conspired with his stepfather to turn him gay!

Even worse, it turned out there were people like him lined up all the way to France?!

Furious, he pinned Bai Xinyu against the wall to stop the man from fooling around with those damn junior actors who'd made one show together and now wanted to make their on-screen romance real.

"Didn't you take money to turn me gay? So where's the action? Hurry up and kiss me!!"
