The third in the Urban Fairy Tale series.
Wei Lan is a genius, award-winning screenwriter from a wealthy family. Jian Ning is a hardworking young theater actor whose life has been full of hardship. The two had nothing in common until they met on a dating app and took a liking to each other. They planned to follow the classic "online friends meet in real life" storyline, but a theater project brought them together even more, and their affection deepened.
Jian Ning, who has known life's ups and downs since childhood, has to fight for a career that is going nowhere, care for his sick mother, and deal with his troublesome younger sister... Even though his life is a mess, he still wants to shine onstage as the leading man. His path is full of thorns, yet he stubbornly blooms all the same. Wei Lan, who grew up surrounded by love, is like a warm ray of sunshine in the deep blue sky of winter, gently embracing Jian Ning with respect, acceptance, understanding, and support. They help each other along, climbing toward the heights of their careers while their love slowly simmers and grows fragrant.
1. A gentle, gentlemanly, and wise screenwriter gong x a sensitive, strong-willed theater actor shou. Mainly, the gong spoils the shou. The shou gets flustered, since he's never experienced anything this good before, so he runs, the gong chases, and the shou can't escape (not really). P.S. The gong is mixed-race, Chinese and English.
2. A slow-simmering sweet treat, with both of them pursuing each other and making progress in their careers together. A semi-professional story, with some details about rehearsing and staging plays.
3. The full story is archived here. Unless something unexpected happens, updates will be daily.
I want to dedicate this story to everyone who's single, chasing a dream, or struggling alone in a big city. Like the countless stars, we may be small, but we are great all the same. May everyone's dreams come true and bring them happiness. May we all shine brightly.
Theme: Sweet romance, cozy healing
