My new novel, The Rich Family's Cannon Fodder Makes Money in Showbiz with the Emperor's Help, is now serializing. Please support it~

1: Lin Qingle, a bit-part actor, has been in the industry for five years without making a name for himself or earning much. One day, he receives a body-double contract from the popular actor Xie Pei.

Furious, Lin Qingle smacks the contract against his face. "You want your ex to stand in for your white moonlight? How the hell did you come up with such a nasty idea?"

Xie Pei lowers the contract. "Because you look like him, and..." He points to the fee.

Lin Qingle sees the seven-digit figure written on the contract and widens his eyes in disbelief. "Three million!"

Five minutes later, the financially struggling Lin Qingle signs his name.

After they start working together, Xie Pei draws up a list of requirements.

They have to watch a movie together once a week.

They have to give each other gifts on holidays.

They have to visit each other's sets every week.

Later, another clause is added to the contract: they have to sleep in the same bed...

2: While the two are living together, rumors gradually start to circulate, though no substantial evidence ever turns up.

Until one day, a few photos appear online.

They show two figures embracing and kissing in a little alley beside a film set. The fans immediately recognize one of them as Xie Pei.

The fans explode, digging up Lin Qingle's Weibo account overnight and cursing him until he trends.

"LOL, you think these photos will make my brother like you? Everyone knows he has a white moonlight in his heart."

The next day, a video starts circulating.

In it, Xie Pei is holding Lin Qingle, who is still getting cursed out on the trending page. "I was wrong. I won't come looking for you at night anymore, and I won't force kisses on you in the street."

Lin Qingle shoves his phone in Xie Pei's face. "Your white moonlight?"

Xie Pei kisses the corner of his mouth, soothing him carefully. "Honey, you're my white moonlight. You're the one."

The fans, blinded by the display: ?!

That night, the comments on Lin Qingle's Weibo account are full of people changing their tune: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Please bookmark my new novel, After Going on a Dating Show with My Nemesis...

Song Sheng has hated Xi Chenghuai since childhood. Whenever he won a basketball championship or a street-dance competition, or planned to steal the show at a gathering between their families, the bookish Xi Chenghuai would outshine him by winning an academic scholarship or succeeding in business.

Once, Song Sheng brought over the pony he loved most, hoping to take Xi Chenghuai horseback riding and help him relax. But Xi Chenghuai just patted the pony's head and said, "Good boy," as though he were afraid the pony would distract him from studying. Song Sheng was so mad that he declared he'd never embarrass himself in front of Xi Chenghuai again.

So even after Song Sheng grows up, makes a name for himself in showbiz, becomes an overnight sensation, and works with every kind of handsome man, he still can't resist making snide remarks whenever he sees someone like Xi Chenghuai.

But then Song Sheng's family goes bankrupt, and the only people willing to help are Xi Chenghuai's family, their old family friends. The condition is that Song Sheng marry Xi Chenghuai.

Song Sheng: "I'm not taking your help for free. I could live in splendor before, and I'll shine again in the future!"

Xi Chenghuai: "All right."

Song Sheng grits his teeth. He must be laughing at me. I'll make money and pay him back, then cut ties!

Xi Chenghuai has been exceptional since childhood, but he's not good at getting along with people.

Aside from their elders, no one likes to get close to him. Song Sheng is the only one who never backs down.

He competes with Xi Chenghuai at every turn, like a little puppy. If he manages to beat him by even a little, he can be happy for half the day.

When the Song family goes bankrupt, Song Sheng is caught up in it. The next time Xi Chenghuai sees him, the bright-smiling boy has become a dejected wreck.

So Xi Chenghuai funds a dating reality show and joins the cast himself.

He'd hoped to help Song Sheng shine and bring them closer, but...

On day one, Song Sheng plays basketball with Guest A, and netizens say the chemistry is off the charts.

On day two, Song Sheng goes horseback riding with Guest B, and netizens rave that the strong-meets-strong pairing is irresistible.

On day three, jealous Xi Chenghuai holds a basketball in one hand and leads a horse with the other. "If you like it, I can do it. Honey, can't you choose me?"

Song Sheng, trembling: He's definitely trying to beat me at the things I'm good at. Now I'm even more fired up.
