The Movie Star Loves My Pheromones

1v1, character work and pacing practice

Zhong Ran is a nobody from the lowest rung of the entertainment industry, on the verge of having his contract terminated and drowning in scandals, with everyone cursing him out.

He arrived in this world less than a year ago, and can only make ends meet by working as a stunt double.

One day, a handsome man came to see him, offering to pay thirty million and sign a marriage agreement with him.

Zhong Ran had just installed an anti-fraud app on his phone. Barely scraping by and paying off his mortgage every month, he stared coldly at the man. "What new kind of scam is this?"

Ji Zhenglan, the dream guy of the OB scene, an elite A, became an award-winning actor at a young age and secured his place as a top-tier star in the entertainment industry.

During a shoot, he had an accident. A fragment cut into his gland, leaving him with severe pheromone dependency.

As it happened, Zhong Ran's pheromones could ease his symptoms.

So Ji Zhenglan came to his door and explained, "Your pheromones could help relieve my condition. I hope you'll consider marrying me."

After taking the enormous sum of thirty million, Zhong Ran became Ji Zhenglan's contract partner and bodyguard, carrying out his duties with utmost dedication.

When a sasaeng fan followed them, Zhong Ran hit them with a flurry of punches and threats, scaring them into sobbing.

Then he calmly asked Ji Zhenglan, "Are you all right?"

Ji Zhenglan nodded with composure. "I'm fine. Thank you."

During a break in filming,

Ji Zhenglan massaged his temples and apologized politely. "Sorry, I have a bit of a headache."

Zhong Ran lowered the setting on his wristband without changing his expression. "Feeling better? Does it still hurt?"

Successfully soothed by the pheromones, Ji Zhenglan replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you for your help."

When his dependency flared up,

Ji Zhenglan lost control of his emotions and clung tightly to Zhong Ran's lean wrist, refusing to let him go. "Sorry to trouble you."

Zhong Ran hugged him without a change of expression. "It's fine. Just remember to add a bonus."

Ji Zhenglan immediately transferred money to the money-hungry Zhong Ran. Looking at his newly increased assets, Zhong Ran decided the work had been worth it.

Zhong Ran played his role conscientiously, never crossing the line with his employer even once. He had impeccable professional ethics and was an absolutely trustworthy partner.

One day, after approaching Ji Zhenglan for the umpteenth time and exposing the back of his neck to release his pheromones as usual, he assumed Ji Zhenglan would be as gentlemanly and self-restrained as before.

But Ji Zhenglan lowered his eyes to Zhong Ran's fair, slender neck, ran the tip of his tongue over a canine tooth, and suddenly said, "It's beautiful. I want to bite it."

Zhong Ran covered his gland. ?

The bombshell news that award-winning actor Ji Zhenglan had gotten married exploded across the entertainment industry. For a time, everyone's attention focused on him and his spouse.

People had assumed that the little nobody from the lowest rung of the industry must be a master manipulator, with nothing going for him but his face. But when clips of them together began circulating, they discovered that their sister-in-law was genuinely great: capable in both brains and brawn, a good Samaritan, and able to deal with sasaeng fans and haters. Most importantly, he had eyes only for Ji Zhenglan.

They all cried, "That's true love!"
