At the peak of his directing career, Lin Yunchi decisively quit and began a rocky acting career under a completely new identity.
After an event, Lin Yunchi returned to his hotel and discovered that not only had he entered the wrong room, he had also ended up in the room of an ex he'd treated like trash.
Qi Ting blocked him behind the door, his face full of mockery. "Lin Yunchi, has your family fallen so far that you have to marry one of those low-grade Alphas?"
Qi Ting had rubbed Lin Yunchi's lips until they hurt. Lin Yunchi looked up at him with watery eyes.
The next day, the latest entertainment news broke: top-tier star Qi Ting had checked into a hotel late at night with an Omega, and they hadn't come out all night.
As soon as the news broke, clicks soared and the story shot straight to the top of the trending list.
That day, rumors spread online that Qi Ting and the Omega he'd had a one-night stand with would appear on the same variety show, and that the Omega would be the face of the luxury brand with the highest sales at the moment.
Clickbait account: "Top-tier star Qi Ting exploits a newcomer in the industry, splashing tens of millions in resources to promote his lover."
As a young Alpha who had dominated the headlines in recent years, Qi Ting was admired for both his personal charm and his work. He'd never had a dating scandal since his debut.
Qi Ting's fans: No spreading rumors. We don't believe it unless it's officially announced.
The next day, the variety show officially announced its cast for the season: Qi Ting and the Omega he had supposedly exploited, Lin Yunchi.
Lin Yunchi's high-definition headshot in the announcement drew every face-lover out of the woodwork.
Qi Ting's fans: So what if he's pretty? Talent is what really matters.
After the show aired, Lin Yunchi and Qi Ting were always close, sticking together for almost every task.
Qi Ting's fans: Get our brother out of there. Our brother shines on his own. Some nobody, barely a hundred-and-eightieth-tier celebrity, should stop shamelessly riding his coattails.
Lin Yunchi, so obscure he was practically buried, became a regular on the trending list after being flamed for no reason. He shot to fame out of nowhere.
Well... going viral for being hated still counts as going viral.
Then one day, a video filmed by paparazzi went viral across the internet. In it, Qi Ting glanced coolly at the camera, then pulled Lin Yunchi close and kissed him.
That night, out of sight of others, Qi Ting had Lin Yunchi pinned against the wall, his body curled up. "Tsk, could you try to be a little more restrained?"
Qi Ting held him close and gently rubbed the back of his neck, his voice low and pleasing. "After all the effort it took to win you back, of course I have to stake my claim."
Then he peeled off Lin Yunchi's gland patch and bent down to bite him.
