The Beauty Mark Bait [Entertainment Industry]

My new novel, The Gentleman's Code, is now underway. Weibo: @Shi Yu Bu Zhu Liu A [Cool, aloof, abstinent, teasing top actor x dazzling, seductive young actress] 1. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that young actress Qiao Xi despises Qin Yi. But Qin Yi is a hugely popular top actor, wealthy and meticulous in everything he does. No one has ever caught him doing anything wrong, so Qiao Xi has never found a chance to take him down. That is, until a string of stories broke about Qin Yi going bankrupt. He was so broke he couldn't even afford to keep filming the movie he'd invested in. Qiao Xi knew her chance had come. She immediately threw five million at Qin Yi and said haughtily, "Here's the money. From now on, you're mine." Qin Yi: "So you've had a crush on me all this time?" Qiao Xi: "I'm going to crush you and humiliate you, so you can never make a comeback in the entertainment industry!" 2. Besides his outstanding acting, Qin Yi is also uniquely handsome, especially with the beauty mark beneath his right eye, which gives him an unusual, captivating air. Unfortunately, he's famous for keeping himself above reproach, making him the unattainable dream man so many people long to win over. A baseless rumor that he had gone bankrupt showed him the true colors of those around him. But he never imagined that she would be the one to step forward and help him out of his predicament. He had known about Qiao Xi for a long time, not only because she'd become a top actress at such a young age, but because she had a beauty mark beneath her left eye. Once, a photo was taken of them at the same event. Their beauty marks looked like mirror images of each other, and they were jokingly dubbed the "Beauty Mark Couple." Their fans were so numerous they could make up half the sky. Qin Yi had briefly lost himself in the photo. Aside from her beauty mark, even her face was exactly his type. So, his chance had come. 3. Qin Yi, a top actor who had never had a dating scandal since his debut, has recently been photographed again and again with a slender woman. Even his fans can't take it anymore, declaring, "No one but Qiao Xi can be our sister-in-law!" That very night, a certain top actor used Qiao Xi's Weibo account to post a casual selfie at home. "As you wish." #GiveMeAChanceToKissYourBeautyMark# #YourShipIsReal# Blurb for The Gentleman's Code: A calculating, obsessive gentleman from Hong Kong City who hides a dark side x a dazzling, airheaded beauty 1. In the second semester of her second year of high school, a tall, slender transfer student joined the class. He was strikingly handsome, with a gentle, otherworldly air. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on his face, and every movement exuded elegance and refinement. He became the dream boy in the hearts of countless girls at school. Yan Yimu happened to become his deskmate, and a classmate asked her to pass him a love letter. Nian Hesheng stared at the letter in her porcelain-white fingers and raised an eyebrow. "Is this from you?" "No, someone else asked me to give it to you." She hurried to make it clear that she had nothing to do with it, then whispered, "I already like someone. It's not you..." Nian Hesheng froze for a moment, then smiled. "What a shame." 2. Nian Hesheng had a strikingly handsome face with a wicked edge. At his old high school, he'd been wild and rebellious, doing whatever he pleased. Countless admirers had swarmed around him. Annoyed by all the attention, he simply transferred schools, changed his look, and put on glasses, hoping for some peace and quiet. His new deskmate suited him perfectly. She was quiet and well-behaved, with a pretty face that seemed to radiate gentleness. He just hadn't expected that his quiet, well-behaved deskmate would write a love letter to another man behind his back. Without changing his expression, Nian Hesheng tore up the letter filled with a young girl's heartfelt affection, then went alone to the place it mentioned. 3. The girl stood alone in the open rain, waiting for a long time until she was soaked through and utterly miserable. Nian Hesheng had been watching her silently from not far away. Behind his glasses, his gaze was sharp and cold, like a beast lying in wait in the shadows. He waited for the right moment. Only when he saw the bright eyes of his prey grow disappointed and dim, little by little, did he finally appear. When the girl saw him, she looked at him helplessly through her tears. "Hesheng, he didn't come..." Nian Hesheng held an umbrella over her with one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other, letting her tears soak his shirt. He displayed every bit of his gentlemanly grace, gently comforting her. "Mumu, don't cry. You still have me." "He doesn't like you. I do." "I like you most of all." *The first rule of being a gentleman: Pretend to be considerate, crush your prey's hopes, and comfort her when she's at her most wretched. Wait until she lets down her guard and obediently hides in the embrace you've carefully woven for her.* [Hong Kong and Cantonese flavor / Long-planned scheme / Possessive pursuit / He'll have to win his wife back later / The male lead goes mad with love] Theme: The road to our dreams is always full of thorns, but if we stay true to ourselves, dawn will surely come.
