After Faking My Death

Chi Nian was secretly dating celebrity Li Yue for five years. They first met when Chi Nian was eighteen, and he stayed by Li Yue’s side as he went from an unknown nobody to a dazzling superstar. Sadly, even five years of love couldn’t thaw Li Yue’s heart of ice. Li Yue never made their relationship public or took Chi Nian to meet his friends. When their relationship was exposed and the media asked about the rumors linking him to Chi Nian, Li Yue simply denied it on camera: “Sorry. A fan has taken their obsession too far.” When faced with a choice between his career and his lover, Li Yue chose his career without hesitation. Chi Nian was called a stalker fan. His dignity was crushed and his back bent beneath the weight of it all. When Chi Nian, in a wretched state, found Li Yue and grabbed his wrist to ask for help Li Yue only pulled his hand away, then slowly wiped the spot Chi Nian had touched with a wet wipe, looking down at him from above. “Disgusting.” Those were the last words he ever said to Chi Nian. Later, Chi Nian died. He died in an accident and never came back. Li Yue remained unmoved, immersed in the glittering, decadent world of fame and fortune, standing beneath dazzling spotlights. The death of his lover of five years changed nothing about Li Yue. He didn’t even go to the funeral. * Without Chi Nian, Li Yue was still the same untouchable superstar. Only when he got drunk would someone suddenly come to mind, and he’d look through his photo album again and again. Sometimes, when he was alone, he’d dream about Chi Nian too. In his dreams, Chi Nian still looked just as he remembered: gentle and warm, smiling as he reached out to Li Yue. But whenever Li Yue tried to take his hand, he grasped nothing. “Chi Nian, ” Li Yue opened his eyes, jolting awake from the dream. The apartment was empty and cold. No one would ever be by his side again. A photograph of him and Chi Nian still sat on the table. Li Yue picked it up. Only then did he remember that Chi Nian was dead. Reading notes: The main story ends with the bottom choosing to be alone. In the extras, he falls in love with the second male lead, and they get a happy ending. The scumbag top regrets what he did, but he loves his career more. The bottom’s personality changes a lot, so he may seem quite different before and after. The plot moves at a relatively slow pace. This isn’t a fast-paced story. The cover isn’t exclusive. Licensed artist: Beibeimian Here’s a preview of a future story: “The Battle for Custody of the Little One” Preview: A five-year-old child arrives in another world and becomes an egg. After finally hatching, the little one discovers they were born among dragons. Dragonkind values strength above all else, and the little one is incredibly weak. They have no strong body, no wings that blot out the sky, and hatch in human form, unable to transform into a dragon. Of the entire clutch, the little one is the weakest. The other dragon babies are all strong. Within three days of hatching, they learn to hunt, eat raw meat, and sleep in caves. But a month after hatching, the little one still hasn’t learned to hunt and can’t even lift a weapon. They can’t get used to raw meat or sleeping in a cave, and every day on Dragon Island they go hungry and have nothing decent to wear. So the little one goes to their guardians to complain. Little one: I don’t think my life is supposed to be like this. Guardians: ? Little one: I should be sleeping in a big, soft nest made of feathers, and my drinking water should be morning dew. Guardians: ? We dragons don’t raise pampered weaklings. The weak little one can’t hunt and struggles just to survive. To keep the delicate little one fed, the dragon guardians finally learn to cook the raw meat. They even make a luxurious bed out of gold coins for the little one to sleep on. But even then, the little one still can’t get used to it. The little one lies on the gold-coin bed and quietly turns over. The bed is so hard. I can’t sleep. * The Starbeast race is the most mysterious alien species in the galaxy. They are powerful and cold.

I want something to eat…] [I want to sleep in a bed…] That’s when the Starbeasts realize that one of their young has been left behind in the outside world. But now, the little one is being bullied. * Later, the Starbeasts go to war with the dragons. To fight for custody of the little one. Theme: Cherish the people around you
