I'll Take Care of You [Entertainment Industry]

[Currently preparing chapters. Expected to start publishing around February 1.]

Shen Huaishen was a celebrity at No. 1 High School. His face alone was enough to make him a hot topic, and his unruly, rebellious personality meant he never did things by the book. Yet his grades were out of this world, making him a potential provincial top scorer.

The school leaders treasured him, all the girls at school worshipped him, and Mi Xia saw him as a thorn in her side!

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have earned the "honor" of being runner-up for a thousand years.

As for her taste in men, Mi Xia didn't understand what other girls saw in him: childish, rebellious, shallow.

The boy she had a crush on was gentle, steady, and funny. They'd never met in person, but they'd chatted online for ages. They were soulmates, and he was exactly her type.

After sending her "Brother Xinghe" a good-morning message, Mi Xia walked up to Shen Huaishen's desk, her face stern. "Hand in your homework. You're the only one in class who hasn't."

The friction between the class representative and the top student began again, and everyone put on their gossip-loving faces.

One boy whispered, "The class rep is so pretty, but her personality's like the head of the Emei Sect. I've never seen her smile at anyone."

Someone agreed. "Yeah. If anyone can get her to act cute, I'll wash my hair standing on my head and livestream myself eating shit."

Shen Huaishen raised his eyelids and looked at Mi Xia nonchalantly. She was like a proud white peacock, chin up, glaring at him coldly.

"Class rep, I broke my hand."

He leaned back against the desk behind him, raising an eyebrow and turning his head to the side with a carefree look. He held up his left hand, which was in a cast. "How about you write it for me?"

"Your right hand is perfectly fine!"

"Sorry, I'm left-handed."

Mi Xia gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, turned around, and left.

A few minutes later.

A message came from her alt account: "Brother Xinghe, that jerk bullied me again today."

Shen Huaishen opened his phone and looked at her furious figure in the hallway. Grinning, he replied, "Really? He's a monster."

#What? The gentle older brother is just pretending to be a big bad wolf?!!!

#Come on, watch the ice queen act cute online!

Slow burn. The blurb's plot takes a while to get going. Some ensemble-cast elements.

Novel blurb:

Lu Chen was a talented singer-songwriter in the Chinese entertainment industry. His debut song, released when he was fourteen, received over a hundred million downloads. At twenty-two, he set the record for the most awards won.

But Lu Chen's most popular topic was: "He could easily make a living off his looks, but he insists on relying on his talent!!!"

Li Nuan squirmed in her boyfriend's arms until she finally found a comfortable position.

She looked up and teased him. "Darling, you should enter that amateur contest for people who look most like Lu Chen."

Lu Xing raised an eyebrow. "I'm better-looking than him."

Li Nuan tilted her head up for a kiss. In a pause between their kisses, she asked curiously, "Why hasn't Lu Chen released any new songs in the past two years?"

Lu Xing kissed her hair affectionately and chuckled. "Maybe... his girlfriend is too clingy."

No one knew that Lu Chen had another name: Lu Xing!

When Li Nuan first met Lu Xing, he was covered in bruises, his eyes red-rimmed as he looked at her.

She rescued him and accidentally fell for him.

To keep the gap between them from growing too wide, she hid the fact that she was a wealthy heiress.

After they got together, Lu Xing had trouble finding a job.

Li Nuan gently suggested that she could work while he took care of the home.

When she saw her boyfriend sitting there in thought, she thumped her chest earnestly. "I'll support you!"

So at the beginning of every month, Li Nuan would secretly take five thousand yuan from her allowance, which had "six zeroes," and give it to her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend was the perfect househusband. He prepared lovingly packed lunches for her every day, peeled and packed grapes for her, and sang her to sleep at night.

Ever since they fell in love, Li Nuan felt like she was living in a jar of honey.

Until her grandfather pressured her into a family-arranged marriage, and her intended match turned out to be... Lu Chen!!!

It was said that Lu Chen was not only a master manipulator, but also so cold that he kept everyone at arm's length.

Bonus scene:

One day, Lu Xing pinned Li Nuan beneath him. He was unusually rough that day, keeping her up all night.

Lu Xing bit her earlobe and asked, "Nuannuan, did work go well today?"

Thinking of her blind date with Lu Chen that day, Li Nuan's eyes darted away. "It went well."

Lu Xing's face darkened. "Did it?"

#My boyfriend is jealous of himself every day

#After my boyfriend played the harmless fool and outsmarted me

#So, I thought I'd kept my secret identity well hidden, but ended up falling into the schemes of a big shot

Theme: Be a decent person.
