Wild Superstar [Entertainment Industry]

Wen Zhaoxing made a name for himself with his laid-back, soothing singing style. His handsome face also earned him a reputation as the ultimate beauty.

After a long absence from the spotlight, his company forced him to join the country's hottest rap competition.

Wen Zhaoxing rapped like he was reciting a Chinese textbook, and the show's marketing and buzz shot through the roof.

The trailer also announced that contestants could invite a mentor to collaborate with them in the first stage performance, sending the gossip-loving viewers into a frenzy.

[Let's guess which mentor is going to get stuck with this!]

When the mentors were announced, everyone was surprised to find Cong Ye on the list. His aggressive rap style had kept him at number one on the underground scene and all the major charts for years, making him a true heavyweight.

By a twist of fate, Wen Zhaoxing drew Cong Ye as his mentor for the first stage performance.

A rap newbie teaming up with the big boss sent the viewers into another frenzy of excitement.

Wen Zhaoxing, meanwhile, nearly blacked out. Damn... Why him?!

During a break in the competition, Wen Zhaoxing was also sent to take part in another travel variety show.

And, miraculously, Cong Ye was there as a guest too, and ended up on the same team as Wen Zhaoxing again.

Wen Zhaoxing and Cong Ye's fans started sniping at each other behind the scenes, trading snide remarks.

[Wow, never thought our delicate princess would come on a variety show.]

[No matter how delicate she is, she's still not as delicate as your precious idol.]

The fans were busy competing, unaware that the two bickered like elementary schoolers on the show, attracting a huge crowd of shippers.

Then, in a candid shot, the cameras caught Wen Zhaoxing leaning against Cong Ye late at night, complaining tearfully that the lyrics' flow was too difficult.

Cong Ye, who was usually extremely demanding about his work, patiently taught him to rap, line by line.

The scene aired at the same time as the rap competition next door.

The shippers went wild.

"I'm new here. Is the show next door also about feeding us dog food?"

"Aaaah! Is Cong Ye still the same guy who used to pick fights with the whole world and leave his opponents questioning their lives? He's so gentle when he teaches Xingxing!"

Bonus scene

At the mentor collaboration stage, Wen Zhaoxing watched Cong Ye's rival perform onstage, her eyes shining.

She envied the contestant onstage, then secretly glanced at the gloomy man beside her.

Why did she have to draw Cong Ye, of all people?!

"Someone at that level can be a mentor on this show? Your taste is still as terrible as ever," Cong Ye said with a cold snort.

Wen Zhaoxing puffed out her cheeks. "So what if I like him! You think everyone's as smug as you? You've been the same way since we were kids!"

After the performance, the mentors shook hands. Cong Ye wore a smile so fake it couldn't have been any faker, glaring at one particular mentor with open hostility as he shook his hand.

After the handshake, his rival's hand tingled. Huh? What did I ever do to you?
