[Blurb]
Mu Xiuran became a child star and took the country by storm. After retiring for five years, he's all but vanished from the entertainment industry.
Shang Bohan graduated from a film academy overseas and was a rising star. After returning to China, he too vanished without a trace.
·
One day, just before their comebacks, an entertainment tabloid snaps an intimate photo of them, sending it straight to the top of the trending charts.
Netizens: The entertainment industry's old tricks again. Which nobody is shamelessly trying to drum up publicity? Even if you two are... are good-looking, that doesn't make it okay!
Unexpectedly, they don't take the chance to cash in on the attention. Instead, they clear things up quickly, behaving in a way that's completely out of step with the entertainment industry today.
Mu Xiuran: Don't know him. Single. Don't bother me. I'm focused on my career.
Shang Bohan: Stranger. Free and untamed. Get away from me.
Mu Xiuran: "Want to become king of the entertainment industry? Your career and love life both matter!"
Shang Bohan: "What's romance? Is it more important than my career?"
On an acting variety show, everyone plays up their misery for the cameras, desperately trying to manufacture explosive headlines.
Shang Bohan watches coldly. "What kind of acting is this? None of you pass."
Mu Xiuran: "You're right about everything, but you still have to save face."
During the live finale, Mu Xiuran gets cheated out of the win. Shang Bohan tears up the script on the spot and announces in front of everyone, "I'm withdrawing. Go play by yourself."
Mu Xiuran is stunned. "You're that bold?"
The public doesn't let him off easy, and he gets showered with abuse. But what did Shang Bohan do wrong? He only told the truth.
When a female celebrity he's never met drags him into a scandal to cover up her own mess, she tearfully accuses him of being irresponsible and playing with her feelings.
The public is in an uproar, and the insults all come his way.
The usual public-relations response would be a statement from the studio, a lawyer's letter, and a post from the person involved.
But Shang Bohan is fearless, and ends the matter with one decisive blow.
"I like someone. It's not Ms. X. She's the wrong gender."
Mu Xiuran: !!! Don't you think you just revealed something even bigger?
P.S.
This is entirely fictional. Please don't read too much into it.

Blurb:
Gu Juexing, a little scholar in the Republic of China era, had to drop out of school because of war and famine, but longed to continue his studies. When enemy planes bombed his town, he died saving his teacher and unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a rebellious, school-hating high school student named Gu Juexing in 2013.
The first thing he does when he wakes up is open a book. Seeing the Chinese characters with pieces missing, he bursts into tears. Thank goodness, he's still in Huaxia!
And it's a peaceful, prosperous Huaxia!
Gu Juexing cautiously adapts to modern life, growing more excited and grateful with every passing day!
In his past life, Gu Juexing was nearly starved to death. Now he discovers that the school cafeteria serves meat at every meal, and it only costs three yuan!
In his past life, he risked his life to retrieve a newspaper amid the shelling. Now he discovers that there's a library in the city center, and it's free!
In his past life, Gu Juexing wanted to study but had no one to teach him. Now he meets Su Wenzhi, a warmhearted top student and a truly good person!
There's just one problem: Su Wenzhi is too enthusiastic and keeps getting handsy, which makes Gu Juexing, a boy from the Republic of China era, very uncomfortable.
Su Wenzhi, a top student who's always ranked first and never needs to sleep, notices something strange.
Gu Juexing, the nobody at the bottom of the class, has started sleeping in class since a month ago, and his naps are getting longer and more restful. This catches the attention of Su Wenzhi, who has never known what it feels like to sleep.
Then, after accidentally touching him during a school power outage, Su Wenzhi is astonished to discover that he sleeps for an hour that very night!
From then on, the Su Wenzhi his classmates see, aloof and convinced that everyone else is trash, is quite different from the Su Wenzhi Gu Juexing sees: warmhearted and noble as a bright moon in a clear sky.
After Su Wenzhi finishes explaining a problem to him, he gets another good-person card.
Su Wenzhi spins his pen and says blandly, "I'm tired of collecting good-person cards. Why don't you sleep with me instead?"
Gu Juexing: "Huh?!!!"
Su Wenzhi: "Oh, I mean, why don't you sit next to me?"
From then on, the students in Class One notice that the top student who never used to sleep is now napping in class, while the underachiever Gu Juexing has risen to become a top student. Could improving your grades really just require sacrificing some of the top student's energy?!
They're so jealous.
Gu Juexing notices the same thing and grows worried.
Gu Juexing rambles, "Wenzhi, maybe we shouldn't sit together next time. I'm holding you back in your studies, and I feel really bad..."
Su Wenzhi, who is lying on his desk, sits up and covers his mouth.
Gu Juexing: Mmph, mmph! (I won't say any more, let go!)
Su Wenzhi doesn't budge. He silently counts the seconds and thinks, Great. Today I don't have to go to all that trouble to find an excuse to touch him.
Everyone knows that Class One's newly risen top student, Gu Juexing, has three great loves: reading, eating, and watching ridiculous TV dramas!
Class One has a special reward: each month, the student who improves the most gets to watch a TV show of their choice. And so, the students in Class One...
"Aaaaah! Gu Juexing, what's with your taste? You're watching another over-the-top anti-Japanese war drama!"
"It's so good!"
Couple: Gu Juexing, grateful and enthusiastic about modern life, positive and sunny x Su Wenzhi, who never needs to sleep, is fixated on the receiver's deep, restful sleep, and is cold and weary of the world
