Imitating a Persona

Coming Soon: I'll Wait for You at the Crossroads Republican-era young master Jiang Yuxia has been reborn. In his former life, he was the pampered young master of a wealthy family, adored by everyone. On the day he died, sobs at his bedside mingled with the sound of gunshots fired into the sky by someone who had hurried back too late. The mourning cries echoed across Shengjing. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a strange world, facing a strange man and a divorce agreement... The man before him was his husband in name only, whom he'd been married to for a year. Only after they married did he learn that Xu Mingzhe already had someone he loved. He'd heard that person resembled him a little, but was a thousand times more noble. After Jiang Yuxia got divorced, his agent promptly signed him up for an acting competition show. On the show, he wore a traditional Chinese long gown with a side-buttoned collar. Every gesture made it hard to tell whether he was acting or had stepped right out of a storybook. Netizen: ??? Is he imitating the movie star? Netizen: He's doing it right in front of Xiao Xingnian himself? Netizen: Heh, I'll be waiting for him to crash and burn. Whether Jiang Yuxia crashed and burned or not, netizens knew that a famous master of Chinese calligraphy was offering a fortune for a piece of his writing on Weibo. A master of traditional Chinese painting even lowered his rates to ask for one of Jiang Yuxia's casual ink paintings. On the show, Jiang Yuxia tied with a national-level Go coach. One song on the pipa was enough to start a wave of traditional Chinese culture across the internet... He could do everything the movie star could do, and even things the movie star couldn't. In the end, netizens almost began to believe, “He's not imitating him. He's surpassing him.” Xiao Xingnian's memories had always held a pampered young master. The young man would often chide him sweetly: “Don't be so bad-tempered,” “Could you stop being such a rascal?” and “Sit down and practice calligraphy with me.” Even on the eve of his death, he was still worrying about him: “You need to be as patient with other people as you are with me, or no one will like you.” Xiao Xingnian never got to hear himself say “Okay.” By the time he hurried back, the young man was already gone... He fired three shots into the sky, as if to tell him, I'm back. Now Xiao Xingnian hides his true nature from the world. In public, he is refined and elegant, warm toward others. He won the title of movie star for playing a rebellious young marshal, and everyone praised his acting, never realizing that was his true nature. After returning to the country, Xiao Xingnian was invited to be a mentor on an acting competition show. When he saw that figure in a simple, elegant long robe walk onto the stage, his heart jolted, and his fingertips tingled along with his heart Jiang Yuxia shot to fame, and paparazzi followed the news, tailing him around the clock.

One of them was even the father of movie star Xiao Xingnian. Rumors immediately ran wild online... At the theater, Xiao Xingnian shed years of disguise. A trace of wickedness, never seen by outsiders, flickered in his eyes. He took the hand that had been tapping on the table and asked, “Tell me... With so many rumors about you, why am I the only one missing? I'm a movie star, after all. Don't I deserve a place on your list of rumored boyfriends?” Jiang Yuxia turned away and pouted at him. “Stop saying ridiculous things.” [A young master as cool and detached as a chrysanthemum × a big bad wolf pretending to be refined] Coming Soon: I'll Wait for You at the Crossroads [A frugal, unfortunate bottom × a smug, fussy top who's top of the class] During winter break that year, Tan Wang moved with his luggage from a southern city to a small county in the north. On his way out to find something to eat, a hotheaded “delivery driver” splashed him with beef noodle soup. The “delivery driver” didn't even apologize, and shot him a glare before leaving. The next day, they met again in the shabby stairwell. Tan Wang stood on the stairs and looked at the boy who'd been kicked out of his home. Feeling awkward, he raised a hand and said, “Hi!” But the other boy was as cold as the snowflake-shaped shards of his glasses, and walked downstairs without a word. - Before he turned five, Qu Xing had been his mother's precious darling. But everything changed on his fifth birthday. His parents divorced, his father left with nothing, and his once-gentle mother began screaming at him every day. The people around him started pointing fingers. Little by little, he stopped talking, was ostracized by his classmates, and bullied by the people around him... Until someone named Tan Wang moved in upstairs. He was cheerful, maybe even a little clueless. Even after Qu Xing had splashed him with beef noodles in the snow, he still had the energy to laugh at Qu Xing for falling. He was seriously weird. - Qu Xing was like someone trapped in a muddy pit, unable to save himself or turn things around. Tan Wang wanted to pull him out. Qu Xing had tried to hold Tan Wang's hand and climb up with him, but in the end, he dragged the person above the mud down into the abyss... Theme: Regrets can be made up for
