Completed. Thank you for supporting the official version. [Bows] >> Pre-registration is open for my August 18 release, After Becoming an Extreme Sports Athlete, I Made a Comeback. Please add it to your collection! After a one-night stand, wealthy bachelor Yan Xi awakened. He discovered he was the cannon-fodder gong in a danmei novel, and was shocked to realize that the person he'd spent the night with was the story's frail, pitiable, helpless protagonist shou, Lu Tingci. In the original story, the protagonist shou was a talented young actor who'd been shelved by his company. With his tragic background, he naturally inspired sympathy. After the villainous version of Yan Xi set his sights on him, he began threatening to keep him as a canary. Any disagreement would lead to a three-day, three-night journey of [bleep]ing. But looking at the protagonist shou's heart-breakingly handsome face on the trending page, Yan Xi cursed himself for being such a terrible person. "With a protagonist this handsome, why waste money keeping him when you could put him to work and make money? What a waste!" He immediately tied the protagonist shou to his side and started squeezing him for all he was worth. Capitalist Yan Xi: "Go act and make money!" Lu Tingci: "?" - Lu Tingci was born with extraordinary talent, the kind of actor who seemed to have been blessed by the heavens. He was hailed as peerlessly beautiful, but his acting skills were even more impressive, earning praise from numerous top directors. With the resources provided by his powerful backer, it took only a few short years for him to make it onto the international stage, win every major award, gain countless fans, and become an internationally acclaimed movie star. By contrast, the powerful backer who was always rumored to be involved with him seemed to be doing rather poorly. After realizing he was a "cannon-fodder CEO," Yan Xi gave up struggling and chose to be a wealthy couch potato, quietly passing his days playing cards and slacking off in the office. Then, as he kept slacking, he ran out of game tokens, and even his company went under after a friend schemed against him. In his mansion, which covered thousands of square meters, Yan Xi lit a cigarette after sex and said wearily, "You can go. I'll set you free." Lu Tingci kept his usual submissive expression, but his hand roamed over Yan Xi's slender waist, marked with red fingerprints. He whispered, "Can you really bear to let me go?" Oh? This wasn't how the story was supposed to go. - Lu Tingci's life had never gone the way he wanted. When he entered show business, countless people told him that he had a beautiful face and could get anything he wanted if he would only lower himself. He refused, and his company turned on him completely. He was shelved, blacklisted, slandered, kept as a lover, and forced into an astronomical compensation debt... It seemed the whole world was against him. One blow after another made him willing to let himself fall. Until, in the darkness, he saw someone reach out a hand to him. [Easygoing, wealthy CEO shou x calculating, aloof, humble gong] Shou is 27, gong is 22. *A little sweet story about salvation (?) The shou has a bit of a universal heartthrob vibe. *The shou spoils the gong in the early stages, then they spoil each other in the middle and later stages. *Same-sex marriage is legal in this fictional setting. The story's world and era are entirely fictional!! Don't compare it to real life! [Everything serves the story's logic~~] *Weibo: @Li Zhouzhou Bonus scene: When Lu Tingci asked if Yan Xi could bear to let him go. Yan Xi: ... #With a waist like that, who could possibly let him go!!# >>> Please add my upcoming novel, After Becoming an Extreme Sports Athlete, I Made a Comeback, to your collection! At 23, actor Yan Si was a gifted, dazzling young star who lived life on his own terms. After an accident damaged his ability to feel emotions, he became a fragile, lifeless puppet. Everyone mourned and lamented that Yan Si's brilliant life had only just begun before it came to an untimely end. Gradually, they all forgot the unforgettable star who had once dazzled them. Then someone spotted Yan Si, who had been missing for years, in a sports movie. "Am I seeing things? Didn't he retire after a car accident?" "He probably couldn't let go of all the money in show business." "Wait, am I seeing things, or did Yan Si really do an aerial skateboard stunt in that movie???" On screen, the man checked his gear and gave the coach a signal. The next moment, he leaped out of a plane with his skateboard! The wind roared, the ground swelled closer, and the man free-fell through the vast sky, calm and composed, magnificent and carefree as if conquering the waves. Light refracted through his goggles in a dazzling spectrum. You could almost feel the rush of excitement even through the big screen! A few days later, the film's box office quickly passed 100 million yuan. It was a huge success and became a classic of Chinese sports cinema. Yan Si won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor. Everyone thought Yan Si would ride this wave to success, appearing on variety shows and in promotional campaigns to make money. No one expected him to disappear again. Later, though, they saw him shining in extreme sports documentaries, live broadcasts of competition award ceremonies, and the Olympic opening ceremony! "So you've been doing extreme sports all these years!" Listening to the wind sweep past his ears, Yan Si dreamed of standing on a snowy mountain peak, leaping from the sky, carving through waves, and racing across dusty deserts. Longboarding, cave diving, wingsuit flying... Every sport that proved he was still alive. "Be the master of your own life." >>> Please add my upcoming novel, Young Master, You Can't Do That!, to your collection! Blurb: As chief secretary of the Hanling Group, Xu Shujing had always felt like he was living inside a melodramatic novel. On the surface, he was the chairman's secretary. Behind the scenes, he was a tool used to advance the chairman and his wife's relationship. He had to choose where they'd celebrate anniversaries, pick out gifts, and pass along messages. They even made him, a weak and helpless wage slave, look after their child! Xu Shujing was numb to it all. Every day, he fantasized about retiring early. So the day he found out he'd won five million yuan, he made his decision without hesitation: "Run!!" * The day he resigned happened to be the young master's graduation ceremony. Xu Shujing felt a certain sense of accomplishment when it came to the young master he'd watched grow up. His parents might have been a constant pain, but as a child, he was extraordinarily easy to look after. He was not only an excellent student with impeccable manners, but also had the best features of a Mary Sue heroine and a domineering male lead. A true child of destiny! Xu Shujing had even planned out the young master's future, straight from a story about a mighty hero. Maybe it was his imagination, but when Xu Shujing said goodbye, the young master, usually so mild and composed, seemed to lose his composure for a moment. After a while, he finally smiled and said, "Then I won't be able to call you Uncle Xiaojing anymore... Can I call you Brother Xiaojing instead?" The young master was sentimental, so Xu Shujing didn't have the heart to tell him he was going to lie flat in the Maldives. It didn't matter what he called him. He didn't even know if they'd ever see each other again. * But Xu Shujing hadn't expected to keep seeing the young master everywhere, from the villa he'd just bought to his vacation spots. Even when he was lying flat at home, his phone was bombarded with questions from the young master, who had just started working at the company. Xu Shujing wondered if something was wrong. Wasn't the young master supposed to be an expert at saying the right thing to the right person? Still, as the former chief secretary, Xu Shujing patiently taught him how to handle company matters, step by step. Until the young master was everywhere in Xu Shujing's early retirement... Until the first day of Xu Shujing's 29th birthday, when he woke up after a drunken night to find himself sleeping in the young master's arms... The young master, future head of a company worth tens of billions and a domineering hero in his own right, said, "I want to take responsibility for you." Xu Shujing: "..." Young Master, you can't do that! He just wanted to get away from all the chaos of the world! Premise: Keep a positive and optimistic attitude toward life at all times.
