I’m Not Gay

Jiang Che had only ever seen Shen Yunyi on TV.

An obscure actress with barely any fame, Jiang Che accepted a role in a low-budget web series at her company's behest.

When the two later worked together, their characters were the female leads, but somehow they ended up with more fans shipping them together than the male and female leads did.

Jiang Che had grown up without much affection, yet somehow turned out to be a thoroughly patriotic and upstanding person. But the year she graduated from high school, she entered the entertainment industry she had once scorned, becoming a student who worked to support herself. She scraped by for a few years, earning enough to support her family. Hating her life and struggling to find a reason to keep living it, she thought she might become a nun after finishing this series and leave the world behind. Then she met Shen Yunyi.

Shen Yunyi was always blinking her catlike eyes at Jiang Che, watching her wherever she went. Jiang Che thought the woman was really committed to promoting their show. At first, she thought Shen Yunyi's eyes were nothing special apart from being big. But as time went on, she seemed to see fireworks blossoming in them, and stars ground to dust. And later, she saw more than that. It was as if the whole world lived in Shen Yunyi's constantly blinking eyes... She shook her head and decided she couldn't look anymore, silently repeating, I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay! I'm going to become a nun!

But it was too late.

That woman had beaten the Buddha.

A totally straight, aloof, obscure actress (not really) * a third-tier, outwardly cold but inwardly warm actress who loves to be pursued

A sweet romance

[The following is the blurb for my next story. Feel free to take a look if you're interested.]

Everyone said Chi Yi was desperately in love with Wen Ranqing.

Wen Ranqing was Chi Yi's unreachable first love.

Before she presented, little Chi Yi would chase after Wen Ranqing, already a widely recognized S-rank Omega, calling out,

"Big Sis! Big Sis!"

"When I grow up, I'm going to marry you!"

The cool beauty would pat her head and smile.

"You'll have to become an Alpha"

"if you want to marry me."

Later, tragedy struck both the Wen and Chi families.

Chi Yi got her wish and presented as an Alpha.

But Wen Ranqing was no longer the person she'd once been.

With countless eyes watching her, she shouldered the Wen family business all by herself.

The former heiress of the Wen family became the glamorous President Wen overnight.

Rumor had it she had countless Alphas doting on her.

Chi Yi seemed not to care.

Just as she had saved Wen Ranqing from a burning building when she was eighteen,

she gave Wen Ranqing the wind whenever she wanted it,

and plucked down the moon whenever she asked.

At last, the Wen and Chi families held their wedding.

After the wedding, Wen Ranqing kept Alphas number three and four in secret love nests.

Chi Yi still treated her as she always had.

Until Wen Ranqing went abroad.

Chi Yi emptied the Wen family business in a single, thunderous stroke and filed for divorce.

Just as planned,

she succeeded.

Someone asked Wen Ranqing, who had hurried back,

and she said only,

"My wife is throwing a little tantrum."

"This time, I'll be the one to chase her."

When Chi Yi heard, she merely sneered.

Later,

Chi Yi stepped into her room, filled with the strong scent of her own wild-rose pheromones.

With red eyes and gritted teeth, she said,

"Wen Ranqing, you forced me to do this."

The other woman replied,

"Xiao Yi~"

"Why don't you call me Big Sis anymore?"
