Let Me Borrow Some of Your Good Luck (Entertainment Industry)

[New novel now available: Two Years Into Our Secret Marriage, We Were Exposed as Each Other's Biggest Rival]

Rong Rong is a walking jinx. His life proves that when you're truly unlucky, you can't even get a drink of cold water.

Just when he thinks he'll be unlucky forever, he meets someone with a maxed-out luck stat: Xie Fushu.

While out one day, Rong Rong runs into a pervert who's all bundled up and dressed as a woman.

After the pervert realizes he's been spotted, he covers Rong Rong's mouth and leans close to his ear. "If you dare call anyone over, I'll dare to kiss you."

Rong Rong: Shameless!

The moment the pervert lets his guard down, Rong Rong drives a knee into his lower abdomen and runs off as fast as he can.

As he flees, he thinks: The pervert's voice and eyes are surprisingly similar to those of the three-time Golden Award-winning actor, Xie Fushu.

He quickly dismisses the thought: No way. How could that be Xie Fushu? He's so unlucky, how could he just happen to run into a movie star when he steps outside?

Besides, Xie Fushu is so elegant and polite. Why would he dress up as a woman?

Three days later, Rong Rong has to eat his words.

It starts when one of his political intrigue novels is adapted into a TV series and he's hired as the screenwriter.

After traveling a thousand miles to the set, Rong Rong thinks: Well, this is great. One good news and one bad news.

Good news: The leading man is award-winning actor Xie Fushu.

Bad news: The pervert from that day was also Xie Fushu.

Rong Rong: He probably, maybe, more or less, doesn't recognize me.

But Xie Fushu proves otherwise with his next move: not only does he remember Rong Rong, he remembers him very well.

The elegant, refined actor, handsome as a painting, clutches his lower left abdomen. His assistant anxiously asks, "Brother Xie, what's wrong?"

Xie Fushu says, "My lower abdomen hurts a little." Rong Rong swears he sees Xie Fushu wink at him.

So he reluctantly steps forward. "Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Xie?"

After a while, Rong Rong realizes that whenever he gets close to Xie Fushu, his luck seems to improve.

Rong Rong's immediate reaction: That can happen???!!!

The gong is an award-winning actor. The shou is a full-time male-oriented web novelist. The shou's luck improves whenever he meets the gong.

Big-hearted, straightforward, unlucky shou x refined, charmingly wicked, ultra-lucky gong

Little fox x someone who seems to radiate immortal grace (in appearance only)

A couple who aren't what they seem, with an identity-reveal moment

Coming soon: Two Years Into Our Secret Marriage, We Were Exposed as Each Other's Biggest Rival

Xie Zhi is a current top-tier star in the entertainment industry and its youngest award-winning actor. He went viral as soon as he debuted, thanks to his face.

Wen Ci is a minor actor who's appeared in countless terrible dramas, but he also went viral as soon as he debuted, thanks to his face.

Ask who the most popular entertainers in the industry are, and you might get many answers. But ask who the best-looking entertainers are, and you'll always hear the same two names: Xie Zhi and Wen Ci.

The two are widely regarded as the entertainment industry's most beautiful faces. Fans have long hoped they would star in a drama together, but everyone knows that's impossible: the pair are famous for not getting along.

Wen Ci never attends events where Xie Zhi is present. Xie Zhi once said in public that Wen Ci had nothing but a pretty face.

Once, fans caught them running into each other at the airport. Xie Zhi, his eyes crinkling like peach blossoms, said something to Wen Ci. Wen Ci immediately put on a stony expression and walked past him without even looking his way.

Fans: Got it. He was definitely provoking him.

Just when everyone thinks the two will be at odds forever, they end up on the same variety show and, unfortunately, get paired together.

Other people: Let's work together and finish the mission!

Them: Stay away from me. Don't drag me down.

Other people: There's only one bed. You take it.

Them: There's only one bed. Let's share it. But don't cross this line.

Fans: ??? Wait, you two are sharing a bed already?

A two-person compatibility quiz.

Other people: Two correct answers out of ten.

Them: They blaze through it, getting everything right.

Fans: ??? How do you know each other so well?

Everyone expects the two to fight tooth and nail on the show, so why are their interactions kind of sweet? The CP fans are going wild: Check out the 'lovers who bicker' pairing!

After the show ends, the CP fans lament that their favorites will never appear together again. Then, a week later, Wen Ci goes live. Wearing casual clothes, looking cool and beautiful, he chats with his fans every now and then.

Suddenly, a lazy, pleasant voice calls out, "Wen Xiaoci, what do you want for breakfast?"

Wen Ci freezes.

Fans in the livestream: ??? Am I hearing things? Isn't that Xie Zhi's voice?

Then Xie Zhi appears on the livestream, hair mussed and dressed in the same clothes as Wen Ci.

Wen Ci leaps onto him and covers his face with one hand.

Fans: #Covering his face won't make us forget who this is!# #Are you two living together?# #What happened to being rivals?# #Damn, did we actually ship a real couple?#

Three hours later, on Weibo.

Wen Ci V / Xie Zhi V: "Allow us to introduce my spouse. We've been married for two years."

Solo fans: W-we just became in-laws out of nowhere?

CP fans: So we really did ship a real couple? Were you two pretending to be rivals all along? This little married couple sure knows how to have fun.

A flirtatious-looking but actually innocent, childish gong x a seemingly aloof but subtly teasing shou

Marriage first, love later (gong falls in love at first sight - mutual secret crush - finally come together). They secretly like each other from the start.

The gong never badmouthed the shou. Certain media outlets took his words out of context.

They got married because their birth charts were compatible, as arranged by the gong's parents. The shou agreed because he needed money to pay for his mother's medical treatment. (I know this trope is old, but I suddenly felt like writing it.)

Both are each other's first love. Two innocent, childish boys fall in love. Extra sweet.

Theme: We should treat others with sincerity.
