Blurb At the height of her fame, Ruan Xinglan was once in a relationship. When they broke up, Leng Xu called her a nasty-tempered dog, and she called Leng Xu a pretentious fake. Years later, Ruan Xinglan had fallen to the bottom of the entertainment industry, while Leng Xu had become a double-crown actress. They met again on a dating variety show, where the production crew told them to play along for the cameras. Leng Xu gave her a cool glance. "It's just for show. Don't take it seriously." Ruan Xinglan gritted her teeth. "Hmph! Anyone who tries to ride her coattails is a dog!" Once the show aired, the fans went wild shipping them. "The sparks in their eyes are flying everywhere!" "They're so good together! Feed us more!" The production crew seized the moment and arranged even more interactions for them. They were told to cook, and Leng Xu took the knife from Ruan Xinglan. "You can't even chop vegetables." They were told to practice singing, and Leng Xu helped Ruan Xinglan put on her headphones. "How do you keep mixing up left and right?" They were told to go bungee jumping, and Leng Xu went to the production crew with a frown. "She's afraid of heights. Cancel that activity." Ruan Xinglan: ...You're making me look like an idiot. After it aired, their shippers grew exponentially. "Their interactions are so sweet. This time, we definitely got the real thing!" "Ahhh, they act like an old married couple!" Ruan Xinglan didn't want people getting the wrong idea, so she made an alternate account and refuted the claims one by one. The next day, Leng Xu appeared in the comments and tagged the little account that the fans had been mocking. Ruan Xinglan, stop explaining. Let's get back together. Bonus scene: A few years later. Ruan Xinglan: You arranged for us to play along back then?! Leng Xu: Of course. Weren't you enjoying yourself, too? Ruan Xinglan: I was not! Leng Xu silenced her with a kiss.

No real-life inspiration. The author doesn't follow celebrities. Upcoming Novel Blurb Zhong Lingling transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a disposable side character. The System tells her that to survive, she must win over one of the characters and use their fortune to protect herself. She looks at the heroine, a lucky charm who somehow keeps getting caught in the crossfire, then at the villainess, a madwoman who loves tormenting her enemies. She swallows hard, decides to stay away from them, and goes to cozy up to the most detached and untroubled master in the book. The master is stunningly beautiful, elegant and serene, like an immortal descended from the heavens. To raise her affection score, Zhong Lingling practices swordplay with her, brews medicine when she gets hurt, and is even willing to undress when the master is afflicted by an aphrodisiac. But the master acts as if her devotion is nothing, and no matter how hard Zhong Lingling tries, her affection score keeps fluctuating. Zhong Lingling is so anxious she scratches her head, unable to figure out what she's doing wrong. Despondent, she switches targets. To her surprise, everyone loves this approach, and her affection scores shoot up. The heroine, a heaven-blessed prodigy, pleads with red-rimmed eyes: "Do you really not like me at all?" The villainess, who walks the line between good and evil, corners her. "Did you think you could hide from me?" Zhong Lingling's heart sinks. She thinks she's taken things too far. Just then, the master, who has been avoiding her, comes riding on a cloud, brimming with jealousy, and rescues her from the scene of chaos. System: Wait, the master's affection score seems to have suddenly gone off the charts. Zhong Lingling: ? System: She was suppressing herself this whole time. Now she can't hide it anymore. Zhong Lingling: ?? System: You'd better say yes quickly, or she'll... Then the master suddenly turns to look at the System, the tips of her ears faintly pink. "Silence." Cool, desire-suppressing master x audacious disciple Theme: Forgive others and improve yourself
