Also known as The Movie Emperor's Thousand-Layered Schemes
[It's complete! I'd love a rating from my lovely readers!]
[Revising...]
Xi Zhuo was a young screenwriter with ambition.
He had written countless scripts, always believing that one day a discerning talent scout would recognize their worth and bring them to life.
He never expected a renowned director to take an interest in one of his scripts and call him, asking him to bring it over for a discussion.
Xi Zhuo: I'll bring the script right over.
When he arrived and handed over the script, the director didn't even look at it. He said seriously that he'd already read it, then looked Xi Zhuo up and down. "Take off your glasses and let me have a look."
Xi Zhuo didn't understand, but he took off his glasses, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes framed by thick lashes. The beautiful little mole at the end of his long eye had never been seen by anyone before.
The director slapped his thigh and beamed as he took Xi Zhuo's hand. "Perfect! You're playing the second male lead!"
?? Wait, he was just a screenwriter!

Newly crowned movie emperor Qi Hanzhou had been in the industry for years with no rumors or scandals. He was the peak of good looks and a genuinely talented actor. He was also Xi Zhuo's co-star.
The day before Qi Hanzhou joined the cast, someone kindly warned Xi Zhuo about a long-standing rumor in the industry: any actor who played a romantic scene with him would get too deep into character.
This was Qi Hanzhou's first romance role in years.
The director also patted Xi Zhuo on the shoulder and warned him: It's just acting. Don't take it too seriously. If you get too deep into character, you'll be the one who suffers.
Xi Zhuo refused to believe it.
At the time, he was putting goji berries into his thermos. He nodded solemnly. "Don't worry. I'm not classically trained, and my acting is terrible. There's no way I'll get too deep into character."
--
Xi Zhuo dutifully remembered the director's warning and stayed on his guard against Qi Hanzhou's charms. He was just about to make it out safely when everything suddenly took a turn--
Scene One:
The two leads shared their first kiss in the story. That very night, someone knocked on Xi Zhuo's door. Qi Hanzhou stood outside with the script in hand, looking completely serious. "Today's scene wasn't quite right. I'd like to practice it again."
The next day, Xi Zhuo showed up on set with swollen, red lips.
The director gave him a complicated look. "...Did a mosquito bite you?"
Scene Two:
In one scene, Xi Zhuo's character was injured. Qi Hanzhou acted normally during the scene, but afterward he showed up at Xi Zhuo's door with bags of supplements, his eyes red and on the verge of tears. "I won't let you get hurt again."
Xi Zhuo: ...Could it be that the one who got hurt was me in the story?
The cast, who had worried Xi Zhuo wouldn't be able to withstand the movie emperor's charms, stared in shock at Qi Hanzhou clinging to him off camera.
The director pretended to stay calm and took a sip of the health tea Xi Zhuo had given him. "Don't panic, don't panic. It's all acting, it's all acting."
Everyone else: ...Director, your hands are shaking! You're not convincing anyone!
--He really did get too deep into character, but why was he playing the wrong person?
The scenes were all fake. The feelings born in the story were only illusory bubbles, and one day they would burst.
Qi Hanzhou had always believed that anyone who got too deep into character was a fool.
Paying for such fleeting feelings was just too sad.
Until he met Xi Zhuo, and became a fool himself.

Not bad actually. It's just that the change of feelings between aggression and reception has become unclear and too rapid.
The end of "Spreading Flowers" [Spreading Flowers] Ooooooooh, I forgot to classify this book. I re-read the extras. Although I have almost forgotten the previous content, it is still sweet and reassuring hehe [Spreading Flowers]
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha silly
No, what about the part where He Shang wins? Then a long period of confrontation and conflict will be over???
Maybe next time my wife can try to write less Chinese. It's a bit long and I don't think it's very connectable. 😭 😭 Many chapters start with the Chinese text, and I can't see the emotional line. It's too scattered 😭 😭 My writing is very good, but maybe the structure needs to work harder 🥺 🥺 It's not preaching, it's just a little suggestion. I feel that it would be good to expand my Chinese writing into a spin-off or a standalone book [Like] [Like]
"Repair" is a big bug for the author~ Hugh
