[Main story complete. Extra chapters will be posted from time to time~]
Jian Zhile was a forgotten nobody, an eighteenth-tier celebrity on the shelf. His main job was singing, and his side jobs were washing dishes and cleaning cars at a hotel.
One day, on his way home from work, he found a lost child by the roadside. Before he could ask where the child's home was, the little one burst into tears, rushed toward him, and cried, "Daddy!"
Jian Zhile: ...
A lifelong bachelor, suddenly a dad.
There was no one else on the street, so he had no choice but to take the child home. He thought the child was joking, but after a trip to the hospital for a paternity test, he discovered the child really was his biological kid!
On the way home with the report in hand, Jian Zhile's hands trembled. "Little one, then who is your other father?"
He'd thought having a son was shocking enough.
But the little one pointed out the car window at a handsome man on a skyscraper's billboard and said, "Papa!"
Jian Zhile's eyes widened. The man on the poster was none other than this year's top-tier star, a hugely popular celebrity and award-winning new Best Actor, Gu Qingye. Jian Zhile had only met him a handful of times, and they'd never even spoken!
A variety show featuring adorable kids began airing, bringing together several of the entertainment industry's top celebrities: a popular female idol with her niece, a reigning Best Actor with his little nephew, and Jian Zhile, who had just become a father.
During his solo interview,
Jian Zhile faced the camera. When a staff member asked about the child's father, he put on the performance of a lifetime to avoid giving himself away. "I was young and foolish back then. The child's dad left early, but I still believe life is mine to live, so..."
The viewers in the livestream:
"I heard Zhile usually works three jobs by himself."
"The baby is so adorable!!"
"What kind of deadbeat dad abandons his wife and child? That's no man!"
"We'll protect the baby and Lele from now on!"
When the show officially began,
All the guests gathered at the airport. Jian Zhile got out of the car carrying the baby, who was drowsy from the unfamiliar climate. The child spotted the Best Actor approaching and lit up, arms spread wide, toddling toward him with a babyish little voice. "Papa, hold me!"
Jian Zhile: ?
The Best Actor: ?
The scene fell into an awkward silence.
The Best Actor's fans in the comments were in an uproar:
"Is the Best Actor a deadbeat dad?"
"No way!"
"Brother Gu absolutely can't have a kid."
"Aaaah, what earth-shattering gossip is this?!"
Just as everyone thought it was merely a child saying whatever came to mind, the show ended and all the guests returned to their own lives.
Then one day, the top-tier star and Best Actor suddenly posted a photo of the three of them together, along with a picture of their newly obtained marriage certificate. He made an official announcement with the caption: "I'm not a deadbeat dad. We're married. @Jian Zhile"
The whole internet was stunned.
#The rumored-dead ex-husband rises from the grave#
#The couple I shipped became real#
#They really do have a child#

Title: After the Ghosts Heard My Inner Thoughts
Blurb:
After an accident, Jian Fan became a streamer in an endlessly dangerous survival game. While all the top streamers awakened supernatural abilities, the survival ability he drew was gossip.
The viewers: "Hahaha, what kind of useless power is that? Give it up, streamer!"
They say the vengeful spirit Sadako kills without a trace. When the ghost woman, consumed by resentment after her lover's tragic death, was about to begin a massacre, and all the contestants seemed doomed:
The gossip skill activated in Jian Fan's mind: [S-rank vengeful spirit Sadako. Her lover isn't actually dead. He ran off with someone else behind her back!]
Jian Fan: ?
Sadako, about to kill someone: ?
The viewers in the livestream, who'd just gotten some juicy gossip: !?
Another survival round began. The contestants entered a dangerous old castle. Jian Zhen was being threatened by the duke and duchess, and was about to lose his life.
Gossip skill:
[S-rank monster, the Duke, is having an affair with the maid behind his wife's back!]
The duke and duchess stared at each other. The tense situation was about to explode.
The viewers in the livestream: "I-is this a dramatic showdown I get to watch without paying?"
Gossip skill:
[Latest news! The maid is actually a cross-dressing expert!]
Jian Fan: ...
What kind of game are you monsters playing?
The viewers in the livestream: "Hahahaha! I'm dying of suspense. We've got melon seeds, fruit, and peanuts ready, so who does the maid actually like?"
A huge, dangerous survival game unfolded. An ordinary human streamer shot to fame. While other people fought monsters, Jian Fan gorged on gossip. While everyone else fought until they were exhausted, Jian Fan got caught up in domestic squabbles and hair-pulling, and the viewers happily devoured the gossip.
Thanks to his gossip skill, Jian Fan made it out of dangerous rounds unscathed time and again. Until one day, when he was on the brink of death, his skill activated:
Gossip skill:
[Have you heard? The dangerous-level Boss, the Ghost King, has fallen in love with an ordinary human contestant!]
Jian Fan: ?
The evil spirit rushing toward him stopped in surprise. It didn't even bother killing him, turning instead to whisper with its companions:
[The King is in love... Is it with this human?]
[That's right, that's right. I heard they've shared a bed who knows how many times!]
Jian Fan had been looking forward to the gossip, but now his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
After the evil spirits dispersed, Jian Fan couldn't help smiling at the man beside him. "I just heard them say you're in a relationship. That's not true, right? Want to clear things up?"
The man's dark eyes glimmered faintly red. Jian Fan thought he'd hear a denial, but instead the man looked at him and said:
"It could be true."
Jian Fan: ...
His smile slowly disappeared.jpg
Here's another story I'll be working on at the same time:
Title: How Many Good Brothers Do You Have, Anyway?
Blurb:
A brand-new dating show lands in the entertainment industry, inviting six pairs of guests who have all dated each other in the past. The production team won't reveal the pairings, leaving the viewers to guess who used to date whom.
The lineup is more lavish than ever:
An entertainment-industry Best Actor who has won all kinds of awards
A famous, golden-bachelor CEO from the financial world
A genius esports star who rose to fame at a young age
The other invited guests are all outstanding too: a singer, a graceful dancer, and an artistic young man.
Everyone has a respectable status, except for...
Jian Ran, a notorious pretty-boy prop in the entertainment industry.
When he strolled into view of the cameras, the viewers were stunned:
"Why is he here?"
"Is he just there to fill out the numbers?"
"Who could possibly be into him?"
"None of the people here could have dated him!"
Jian Ran thought the same thing, until he carried his luggage into the hall and saw two men sitting on the sofa. He froze in shock. He could understand the show inviting exes, but why...
Why did they invite all of his exes?!

It's really sweet and has a sense of destiny 😍
Beautiful (tears, really beautiful)
There is a bug, go back 30 years ago, wasn't it when the actor was 5 years old? The little singer wasn't born yet at that time, right?
It's good, the joy in the first half of life is bitter, but when you meet Gu, the rest of your life will be sweet. A good person deserves a sweet life 😣 [sprinkling flowers]
Finished reading!! There are just a few typos throughout the text, but I like the rest hehehe. Press a paw [cat's paw]
I booked it all and was left with mixed feelings after reading it. In fact, I cried at one point during the process... I was really moved by An An's kindness and the pain Jian Zhile went through. What a perseverant person, facing all kinds of difficulties, he still shines with his own light. It is so touching to see his progress and growth in Jian Zhile. The author really did a good job. But after seeing it, I always feel it's fake. It's on Gu Qingye. Some of Gu Qingye's behaviors always make me feel separated. Many of Gu Qingye's behaviors are like two people. On the one hand, he is direct, smart and sensitive, and his attitude towards things is very direct (even with the tact that adults must go through, his entire attitude is clear and direct), but on the other hand, he is insensitive to emotions, and there is also a kind of insensitivity in his behavior. What he does and what he says is too young emotionally. Is this how you love someone? He vaguely guessed that An An was his child (the little secret between An An and Jian Zhile, An An looked similar to him when he was a child), and he could even go for a paternity test. Since he was rich and powerful, shouldn't he have made arrangements early to keep An An under protection? An An was still injured without his knowledge. If An An didn't survive his heart attack, would they really be BE? . Even though this is a sweet book, it will have a happy ending, but it is a time of life and death. At that moment, Gu Qingye should have felt guilty, regretful, sad and afraid. In this case, because of this guilt and fear for An An and Jian Zhile, he proposed to marry Jian Zhile, which made me feel superficial. The reason for marriage should be love, and he used these words to explain his love for himself. Real. Maybe it's not superficial. But really avoid your own emotions. Gu Qingye's actions made me see the trauma in his character. To truly love someone and something, isn't it to be grateful for their existence in the world, to be sad for their past, and to do their best to protect their future? Maybe Gu Qingye really didn't have any pain growing up. His vision and experiences along the way prevented him from loving someone deeply or expressing his emotions properly. Places like this always make me feel disconnected. On the one hand, he is smart, sensitive, and understands others. He could even guess that Jian Zhile didn't know the snake was poisonous when he caught it. On the other hand, he is not good at words. In many moments with An An and Jian Zhile, he did not speak, did not communicate, or expressed awkwardly. He knew that the news about Jian Zhile had to go through others, through his sister, the director, and Xiaohong's agent. Including his relationship with Jack, even though his intentions were good, he still had the most fundamental friction with Jack, and he didn't talk about it. And Jian Zhile can speak human words to educate An An. Even his jealous behavior is... From the analysis of these points, in fact, Gu Qingye should be somewhat emotionally isolated (separating emotions from the body), somewhat emotionally avoidant, and somewhat in the early stages of depression. It's very reasonable to think about it this way. Hey, the actor has experienced all kinds of life, large and small, and it's normal to avoid emotions and not face his own emotions, etc. Alas, thinking about this, I feel really sad. It is said that the character is a mirror of the author. Now I really hope that this sentence is biased.
It's really beautiful T^T
After watching the An An episode, we, An An, are too good. ?
