Crossing the Line [Entertainment Industry]

Currently writing the entertainment-industry reunion-and-healing novel "When Will You Break Up?"

A seemingly sunny but slightly obsessive bottom who uses tears as a weapon to steal his older brother's attention vs. a cold, restrained, and pathologically softhearted top who always gives in to his younger brother

"Imperfect characters"

Blurb One

As more and more celebrities and idols have their scandals exposed, countless public figures have also come forward to announce that their CPs were never real.

Rebellious netizens: Since every pairing we ship ends in tragedy, why not ship the one with the strongest tragic vibe? Biological brothers (not really). Is that exciting enough?

Luo Yu is a rising star among the new generation of actors in the entertainment industry. But a huge obstacle stands in his way: Luo Qingyu.

As the younger brother of an award-winning actor, Luo Yu has been stuck with that label ever since he entered the entertainment industry. And after his older brother retired, he became Luo Yu's manager, prompting all kinds of accusations to pour in:

Luo Yu rode his brother's coattails to fame, leeches off him, is a worse actor than his brother, has no shame...

To protect Luo Yu's mental health, he was banned from using Weibo. Then one day, he accidentally clicked on something and discovered a whole new world!

Luo Yu stared at his phone with the bewildered expression of an old man on the subway.

The Pisces CP?

Him and his brother?!!!

From the CP fans' perspective, his brother takes ages to make breakfast because he wants Luo Yu to sleep in; when his brother said he loved him over the phone on a variety show, he meant it; his brother returned to the entertainment industry so he could film a kissing scene with Luo Yu...

In short: His brother has a secret crush on him.

Luo Yu: How did Weibo get so weird while I was away?

At first, Luo Yu thought they were completely wrong.

Later, he still thought so.

It was just that they had the wrong person: he was the one with the secret crush...

Luo Yu first met Luo Qingyu on a snowy night.

The faint light outside filtered in through a narrow window.

His frame was thin, the blood on his face still wet. His lifeless eyes stared at Luo Yu, his expression indifferent as blood dripped from his arm onto the attic floor.

That year, Luo Yu looked up at him from the sofa with difficulty.

And then he kept looking up at him for the rest of his life.

.

Luo Qingyu loved winter snow. He loved collapsing into a snowdrift and savoring the thrill of suffocation.

Luo Qingyu had never told anyone that if he had not met Luo Yu that day, people might have found him beneath the snow when it melted.

[It's fake! Fake! It's not real, I'm crying...]

Reading Guide

1. Realistic setting, fictional Germany, five-year age gap.

2. The entertainment-industry plot is entirely fictional and has no real-life inspiration.

3. The author likes complicated characters. The bottom is habitually dependent on the top and becomes very sensitive because of it, so it's normal for him to cry, act like a delicate white lotus, and do other things to get his older brother's attention. I hope you won't drop the story over this.

"When Will You Break Up?"

A seemingly cool and gentle beauty who secretly self-harms and suffers from depression vs. a bold, carefree puppy while in love, who becomes obsessive and gloomy after being dumped

Reunion after a breakup / fake homewrecker rises to the top / fake C/G

Blurb One

Audiences are tired of dating-and-divorce reality shows. What they really want is a group of "villains" or bitter rivals brought together to stage a battle royale where everyone thinks, "If I'm miserable, you all should be too." And so the first travel variety show featuring sworn enemies was born.

The production team carefully selected guests, each of whom came with a history of bad blood:

[Two popular idols who debuted in the same year and have fought over everything from their styles and endorsements to their opportunities. They are the fiercest of rivals.]

[An entertainment-company CEO and an agent who fell out over competing artists. Their feud has been a "tradition" carried on by their two companies for years.]

[Two rivals at the same company competing to be its top star. One broke through thanks to a favorable allocation of resources, and the two have never appeared together since their debuts.]

[A combative hotshot from the entertainment industry and a somewhat well-known fashion designer. They have nothing in common, yet both walked off the same variety show because of the other.]

Even more thrilling, one of the four pairs of "sworn enemies" is fake. Viewers will vote to expose them at the end of the show.

But as filming goes on, things gradually veer off course:

Why are the two popular idols who supposedly can't stand each other childhood friends with a love-hate relationship? Why were the two workplace enemies once housemates? Why are the supposed rivals, who have never appeared together, each other's only co-stars in a project available only on file-sharing sites and never officially announced?

And most baffling of all are Xie Yunchen and Chi Xishan, who seem to have had an unmentionable relationship in high school...

On the show, the hotshot who usually ignores everyone coldly reminds his sworn enemy to eat breakfast, deliberately leans over in the car so his sleeping rival can use him as a cushion, and crushes a wineglass when he sees his rival calling his partner...

Netizens: Stop acting. How are they sworn enemies? They're obviously a couple who haven't made it official!

Netizens: Director, are you sure these people are really enemies? Isn't this just a dating show in disguise?!!!

The director's inner thoughts: I swear, when I chose them, I really thought they hated each other and wanted the other one to disappear...

On the finale day, the production team released an unaired clip from the first episode, leaving everyone stunned. In two sealed rooms with no connection to each other, Xie Yunchen and Chi Xishan, whom the entire internet had been calling "made for each other," both wrote the same two words on a whiteboard:

"Enemies."

Netizens: Oh no, we've been shipping actual enemies...

The agent, who knew that the two men were exes, was afraid Xie Yunchen would become a homewrecker for love. He repeatedly warned him not to do anything stupid, but no matter how often Xie Yunchen promised, he couldn't relax.

That was until Chi Xishan mentioned on the show that his current partner was his first love. As if he had forgotten all the warnings, Xie Yunchen ground his teeth and demanded:

"If he's your first love, then what am I?"

More than hating Chi Xishan for being heartless and using him, Xie Yunchen hated that he had never taken the time they shared, which Xie often remembered fondly, seriously. He had not even acknowledged it.

He still remembered the night they broke up, when the boy had flatly declared that he didn't like men. Yet halfway through filming, Xie Yunchen saw the two of them standing close together.

An openly acknowledged visit on set.

It was as if the boy's eighteen-year-old pride were being trampled underfoot and ground to pieces again and again.

During filming, as everyone loudly searched for the two of them, Xie Yunchen finally lost his patience. He covered Chi Xishan's mouth and hid him in a cramped room, his eyes bloodshot as he begged in desperation:

"Break up with him. I'm begging you."

If you don't break up soon, I'm going to lose my mind...

One day after they got back together, Chi Xishan looked at the sleeping Xie Yunchen, traced his features with his fingertips, and whispered into his ear:

"All these years, it's only ever been you."

I've only ever loved you.

The boy's secret had been exposed in the humid air during that stuffy plum-rain season so many years ago. It had sunk deep into his bones, impossible to let go.

Coming soon: "What the Hell, You're Pretending Too?"

As an Alpha-in-training with good looks, a great physique, and a decent family background, Sheng Mingyan was the envy of everyone.

His life was going so smoothly, yet one person dared to defy him!

And that person, his childhood friend, an Omega who defied him by secretly getting into another school, had now appeared in an alley near his campus, surrounded by a gang of thugs.

Remembering the vicious oath he had sworn, Sheng Mingyan was just about to turn around and pretend he hadn't seen anything when he heard Qi Zhan pleading from the alley.

He remembered the year they were seven, when they had their second-gender tests at the same hospital. Little Sheng Mingyan saw the big "Alpha" on his report and the "Omega" in Qi Zhan's hands. A sense of responsibility welled up in him, and he grabbed his friend's hand, thumping his chest as he vowed to protect his Omega.

Damn it!

The boy clenched his fists, turned around, and charged in.

"I haven't settled things with him yet. You're not the ones who get to bully him!"

Looking at the thugs sprawled across the ground, Sheng Mingyan turned to the "delicate" Omega, who stood 184 centimeters tall. "When did you get so tall?"

Qi Zhan: ...Is that the point?

Sheng Mingyan had meant to settle a score, but somehow ended up giving his heart away. He couldn't believe it. This guy must have poisoned him. Why was the poison making his glands so hot...

Wait! He was presenting!

The Alpha-in-training, now an Omega, fell silent. He spent the night coming to terms with it, then quickly wondered: Could an OO relationship work?

His wife was a sweet, soft Omega, so he'd just have to make a sacrifice and pretend to be an Alpha.

Until one day, his soft and delicate wife had just been crying, tears still on his face, yet there was no hiding the fact that an uncontrollable, highly aggressive pheromone was coming from him.

Sheng Mingyan, realizing that Qi Zhan was an Alpha, fell silent.

Qi Zhan, thinking he was about to be dumped, panicked. He pinned him beneath himself and ground out:

"Can't two Alphas be together?"

Sheng Mingyan: "They can't..."

Qi Zhan: "Why not?"

Sheng Mingyan: "Because I'm an Omega."

The Alpha stared blankly, speechless.

What the hell, you're pretending too?

Bonus Scene

Several new posts appeared on an ABO relationship forum, all from the same new user.

School bully, little O: Question. Can an OO relationship work?

How do you protect your partner in an OO relationship?

The replies were full of people venting. You want an OO relationship to work? Just wait until you both go into heat at the same time and need an A to soothe you. Then you'll get it.

The post that had stirred up a heated discussion wasn't deleted. Once the debate died down, the original poster shared an update: I don't know if an OO relationship can work, but I do know my wife turned out to be an A. I've been pretending all this time for nothing...

[Is the OP trying to build a following? I just want to say, you've succeeded.]

[So one of you is an A pretending to be an O, and the other is an O pretending to be an A? Interesting... Very interesting.]

In an empty corner, the hospital where the two had had their second genders predicted went bankrupt because of its fake tests...

The first draft of the blurb was screenshotted on 2025.10.2. The premise will remain unchanged even if minor revisions are made.

Theme: Healing oneself and growing stronger through adversity.
