Sweet Taboo

[Discontinued, no longer writing]

[Blurb]

Ning Tian has been in the entertainment industry for five years. With no connections or influential backers, she started out as an extra and worked her way up to her current position as a B-list actress. Just as she'd found her footing, someone framed her, leaving her on the verge of being blacklisted.

Overnight, her endorsements were taken away, her schedule emptied, and countless insults and accusations were hurled at her.

At her most desperate and humiliated, someone pulled her back from the abyss.

After that, netizens noticed Ning Tian had changed.

She appeared on a livestream variety show and clashed with another guest.

Her haters erupted with insults.

On camera, Ning Tian sat in a man's arms and pouted pitifully. “Honey, they're insulting you. It makes me so sad and angry.”

Wearing thin, silver-rimmed glasses, the man sat impeccably on the sofa. He lowered his eyes to look at her, his tone unreadable. “Are you sure they're insulting me, and not you?”

“It's fine if they insult me. I'm used to it. But they can't insult you. It breaks my heart. I'm so upset I can't eat or sleep.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, tears glimmering in her eyes at just the right moment.

But the man seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. He caught her wandering hand, his expression helpless yet indulgent. “All right. You don't have to put on an act in front of me, sweetheart.”

Then he glanced at the camera and asked, “What are you going to do about all those haters online who insult you?”

Ning Tian casually admired her new manicure, her expression cool and her tone icy. Her red lips parted, her breath fragrant.

“I recommend simmering them over low heat.”

The haters: “!!!”

Is it too late to get down on our knees and beg for forgiveness?

At first, she asked Zhou Gai why he'd chosen her.

The man's features were cool, his dark eyes deep. “Your acting.”

Later, she asked him the same question.

He leaned in and held her, then chuckled softly by her ear, his voice gentle. “Because I feel sorry for you.”

He appeared without warning,

just like the way she fell for him,

with no reason at all.
