After the Limited-Time Engagement

[Sorry, my inspiration has gone missing, and I can't resume updating for now.]

Blurb 1

The boy band SEVENO hit their peak as soon as they debuted, but their story came to an abrupt end.

After disbanding, the members went their separate ways.

Only Chi Ran, the group's overwhelmingly popular top member, vanished without a trace.

All that remained was an urban legend: that Chi Ran and Rong Jiaxu, his fellow SEVENO member and the group's producer, had fallen out over a relationship and gotten into a fight, causing the group to break up.

Years later, during a livestream watched by tens of millions, Rong Jiaxu accidentally revealed a Weibo ID. The account was filled with posts about Chi Ran, from their time in the group to after its breakup. Not a single update had been missed.

Everyone was stunned: Was Rong Jiaxu secretly in love with Chi Ran?

The next day, Chi Ran, who had not appeared in public for ages, suddenly showed up at the capital's airport.

In an instant, the crowd erupted with noise and screams.

On camera, Chi Ran looked even more beautiful than before, though his air remained just as cool and distant.

A paparazzo dug up an old leaked photo of Chi and Rong supposedly fighting, pushed to the front, and loudly demanded to know what had happened.

Out of patience, Chi Ran abruptly turned around. His long, strong fingers pinched the photo as he leaned in. He raised an eyebrow, his voice icy, though his words were anything but.

"Fighting?" He suddenly laughed. "We were kissing."

Everyone: Huh?

Huh???

Couple: Chi Ran x Rong Jiaxu. Possessive to the extreme x gentle but scheming. Younger top, both sexually inexperienced. Two-character surname top.

Reader's guide:

1. The top and bottom are the group's undisputed big shots. It's not exactly a relationship funded by the company; to be precise, while they were in the group, the two were almost entirely focused on their careers.

2. No real-life models. The setting is partly fictional, with many original details.

3. Poor writing, broken logic. No writing advice, please. No need to tell me if you drop the story.

4. They dote on each other. Readers with strong preferences for one side, beware.

Theme: Love and courage.
