Wen Yuxuan is a nobody in the entertainment industry. Three years after his debut, no one has paid him any attention, and even his boyfriend cheated on him.
Then, at a banquet, he had the bad luck to get drugged and spend a night of friendly intimacy with a major investor.
Even worse, the man was cold, narcissistic, arrogant, and sharp-tongued, and he was biased against Wen Yuxuan.
Wen Yuxuan clutched his aching waist and snapped, "So much for being cold! You were a raging inferno in bed!"
When Shen Ye first met Wen Yuxuan, he took him for nothing more than a pretty face, a no-name actor with no talent.
Until the pretty little nobody showed up at his hotel room in the middle of the night, wrapped in a bath towel.
Shen Ye despised the entertainment industry's unspoken rules. With a cold expression, he tore into the guy without holding back.
The pretty little nobody was so thoroughly chewed out that he fled in a panic.

Not long afterward, Shen Ye accidentally drank a spiked drink at a banquet and got trapped in the restroom.
Wen Yuxuan happened to pass by, assumed he was drunk, and asked with a smug grin, "Mr. Shen, need a hand?"
Shen Ye's eyes were burning red. He took the man who had delivered himself to his door for an antidote, and made him help him all night long.
Afterward, Shen Ye calmly asked the pretty little nobody, "Do you want money or career opportunities?"
Wen Yuxuan hurled a pillow at him, murder in his eyes. "Get lost, you bastard! I'll kill you!"
Shen Ye: ???
Wen Yuxuan was fed up. The narcissistic investor kept chasing after him, showering him with career opportunities and claiming it was compensation.
He'd already turned him down again and again, but the bastard only got more persistent.
Eventually, the man stopped pretending and bluntly said he wanted Wen Yuxuan to be his wife.
Wen Yuxuan: ???
So this was your plan all along?
Later, for reasons of his own, Wen Yuxuan was tricked into a marriage contract by the cunning man who wouldn't stop pursuing him. The two even joined a sweet romance reality show together.
When netizens learned he was bringing his new husband to the show, they mocked him one after another, eagerly pulling up chairs to watch the drama. But all they got from the show was a face full of public displays of affection.
The nobody's husband was tall, handsome, rich, and a big shot in the investment world.
He doted on his wife so much, he practically wanted to feed him every bite himself.
Even the nobody seemed like a different person, blushing whenever his husband teased him, all soft and adorable.
The public's opinion did a complete 180:
[I'm not afraid of dying, so I'll say it first: I want to steal Mr. Shen's wife!]
[Hell! I want a pretty, dumb wife too!]
[Be braver! I want to join this family!]
Just as Wen Yuxuan was becoming a huge star, his ex-boyfriend, who had once looked down on him for being a nobody and cheated on him, couldn't accept it. He came knocking late one night.
The door opened. The investment tycoon stood there in a bathrobe, his refined, aloof expression edged with anger, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. "Stay away from my wife. Get lost!"
A silly pretty-boy star * a cold, calculating tycoon
1v1, both are virgins. The bottom has dated before; the top hasn't.
Not much focus on the career plot, mainly sweet romance.
Next novel: The Rich Family's Stepdad Slacks Off on a Parenting Show. Blurb:
Zhou Che transmigrated into a melodramatic rich-family novel as a cannon-fodder character, and ended up as a hapless stepdad.
The original character was a nobody with a huge number of haters. He'd schemed his way into marrying the big shot in the novel, only for the man to head overseas right after they got their marriage certificate, leaving him at home to raise a child.
The kid, Lu Zhouzhou, was a little brat who'd climb onto the roof if you let him go three days without a spanking. He threw tantrums and caused trouble every day. He had to be coaxed to eat and persuaded to sleep, threw a dozen fits a day, and acted like he was the center of the universe.
According to the plot, he would later take Lu Zhouzhou on a parenting show in a bid to make a comeback and cash in. Then, unable to control the brat, he'd be mercilessly mocked, his reputation would be ruined, and the entire internet would turn against him.
Zhou Che wasn't particularly interested in indulging a spoiled brat, but for the hefty breach-of-contract fee, he held his nose and dragged the little terror onto the show.
As soon as the show was announced, the haters grabbed their keyboards, ready to viciously mock Zhou Che for seeing his rich-family dream shatter and being forced to coax a brat.
Then... they witnessed a very unusual scene.
Lu Zhouzhou was a picky eater throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat, waiting for his cheap stepdad to coax him. But his stepdad didn't leave him a single bite. Burping, he said, "I'm stuffed!"
The kid rubbed his empty stomach, so upset he was about to cry.
Lu Zhouzhou threw himself down in the street, demanding a toy. When Zhou Che wouldn't buy it, he flopped on the ground and bawled, trying to make Zhou Che die of embarrassment in public.
Zhou Che watched the kid's fake crying with great interest, then offered a scathing review: "Over-the-top movements, fake expressions, terrible acting."
The kid: ...
He stopped fake crying in a second, his face turning red as he scrambled to his feet at lightning speed.
After taking one defeat after another, Lu Zhouzhou angrily packed his little backpack and decided to run away from home. But just five minutes into his escape, his feet started hurting and his steps grew slower and slower.
Zhou Che leisurely followed him in his little car, rolled down the window, and mercilessly teased him: "You've barely walked a few steps and you're already tired? Didn't you eat lunch?"
Lu Zhouzhou: Waaaaah...
After losing battle after battle, Lu Zhouzhou finally realized he couldn't beat his black-hearted stepdad. He never dared to act spoiled again.
-
Once the show began airing, the unconventional antics of this fake father and son, constantly messing with and roasting each other, were like a mudslide through the warm and cozy parenting-show genre. Zhou Che's ways of dealing with the brat went viral, drawing countless netizens to watch.
Before long, more and more people started calling Zhou Che "wife"
and even declared they wanted to be Lu Zhouzhou's stepmom.
One day, the big shot, busy building his career away from home, returned and was surprised to find Lu Zhouzhou, who usually caused trouble nonstop, obediently giving Zhou Che a back rub. The boy asked expectantly, "Stepdad, after you and my dad get divorced, when you split the assets, can you take me with you?"
The big shot: ???
His cheap wife seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve.
The big shot eventually succumbed to the irresistible appeal and decided to start a romance with his wife after marriage. But then the netizens all started trying to steal his wife.
They were even brazen about it: [What do you mean, your wife? I don't like the sound of that. He's obviously everyone's wife!]
The big shot sneered.
Sorry, you can share the son, but not the wife!
