Cherished and Spoiled

Complete

Two years ago, Shi Sheng was a newcomer in the entertainment industry. After her father was diagnosed with cancer, her boyfriend abandoned her to study abroad. To put her father's mind at ease, she was set up on a blind date.

Unexpectedly, they got the wrong person for the date, but the man turned out to be a good match in every way.

First, he was incredibly handsome, cool and aloof, with an outstanding bearing.

Second, he had a cherished first love.

Third, he was broke and powerless, so he would be easy to dump.

She got straight to the point: “I need a boyfriend. You just have to play the part. Name your price, and when we break up, I'll pay you a breakup fee too. What do you say?”

To her surprise, he readily agreed. Just like that, they hit it off.

The only thing Shi Sheng hadn't accounted for was the physical entanglement. Only then did she realize his cool aloofness was, ha, all an act.

Two years later, she was a hugely popular star, with plenty of fans and even more haters. It wasn't until a trending topic suddenly blew up that she learned her boyfriend was no nobody.

Wen Muyan was North America's youngest skiing prodigy and champion, with so many awards he could hardly keep count. Just as he was about to win his third consecutive championship, he left the sport. When he reappeared, he was competing for China's national team. No one knew why he had quit.

During one livestream, Wen Muyan, who had shot to fame overnight, was “forced” to go live.

“Let me introduce my dog. His name is Bajie.”

Everyone looked at the dog and wondered, “That dog looks familiar. Isn't it the one Goddess Shi posted yesterday? I think hers is called Bajie too.”

Wen Muyan smiled. “Dogs of the same breed tend to look alike.”

He then showed everyone his Olympic trophy. Someone with a sharp eye spotted another trophy behind him, sitting next to his Olympic gold.

Everyone said, “The trophy next to it looks just like the one Goddess Shi won.”

Wen Muyan replied, “Maybe they just happen to look alike.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. They saw a woman with long, flowing hair walk in. The next moment, she threw herself into his arms and cuddled up to him. She looked exactly like Goddess Shi.

Everyone asked, “So, is this just a case of looking alike?”

That night, one trending topic stayed at the top for a full day and night.

Only later did Shi Sheng realize that his lack of money and influence was a lie, and so was his first love. She had fallen into his trap from the very beginning, and now there was no escaping.

Coming soon: Could You Be My Boyfriend?

Ever since Jian Ya started college, she had one problem: people confessed to her every day, on the sports field, in class, and in the cafeteria. It was seriously disrupting her life.

To keep people from bothering her, her roommate came up with an idea.

“Get a boyfriend.”

Jian Ya stared blankly. “Where am I supposed to find a boyfriend just like that?”

“I don't mean a real one. A fake one will do. The main thing is that he has to be good enough for your gorgeous looks and able to keep those guys at bay.”

Jian Ya thought it was a great idea. A famous figure on campus immediately came to mind: the refined, handsome heartthrob from the department next door, with admirers everywhere.

A gentle breeze drifted across the sports field that evening.

After a long hesitation, Jian Ya said, “Sheng Yi, could you be my boyfriend? Not for real, just pretend.”

He didn't answer for a long time. Feeling awkward, Jian Ya decided the plan wouldn't work and turned to run.

“Sorry for bothering you.”

Sheng Yi grabbed her by the arm. “Wait. If I say no, are you going to ask someone else?”

Jian Ya froze without saying a word. Humiliating herself once was bad enough; she couldn't do it twice. Just as she was about to answer, Sheng Yi agreed.

Sheng Yi said, “I'll do it. You have my sympathies for the next four years, my girlfriend.”

Jian Ya had been in love with Sheng Yi all through high school. Back then, he was a privileged prince adored by everyone, while she was a Cinderella in the corner. She had worked desperately to catch up with him and stand by his side.

Bonus scene.

Jian Ya always thought Sheng Yi was a refined young gentleman, until some thugs cornered her outside campus.

Sheng Yi patted her head, then took off his jacket and covered her face with it.

“Be good. This isn't something you should watch.”

“Want to fight? I'm in.”

Jian Ya couldn't see anything. She could only hear the dull thuds of blows. By the time she opened her eyes again, he had taken her somewhere safe.

At a gathering one night, after a few rounds of drinks, someone got excited. “Hey, Jian Ya, you two finally got together! You have no idea how many fights he got into for you. That's how he learned to fight. Poor Sheng...”

Before the speaker could finish, someone clapped a hand over their mouth.
