Beautiful Socialite [Showbiz]

The upcoming novel "Whirlpool" is expected to start updating in November. Feel free to add it to your reading list if you like it! Here is the blurb:

*

At twenty-five, Yi Zhongyu was thrown out by the Chen family, losing his love, his family, and the inheritance his father left him. As he left the courthouse, torrential rain poured down. A heavy truck struck him, leaving him badly injured and near death.

At the hospital, he reached out to the person who had come to see him, struggling to force out two words: "Save me."

The man answered in a low voice, "All right."

Yi Zhongyu didn't die, but he never woke up, either. His soul left his body, and he spent ten years as a silent ghost.

Without Chen Qiyu ever knowing, they had once leaned against each other, their hair entwined as they took in the mountains and rivers.

Back then, Chen Qiyu had held Yi Zhongyu's silent body and murmured, "You and I are like a whirlpool."

Until the day that man was in a plane crash. That same day, Yi Zhongyu's consciousness returned, and his soul and body became one again.

He called himself the man's widower and went to attend his funeral.

At the funeral, Nan Cong, the man who had hit him with his car all those years ago, was among the mourners. Nan Cong had taken Yi Zhongyu's place in the Chen family, and now, from his lofty position, he dismissed Yi Zhongyu like an intruder, acting as if he owned the place. Then he told him a secret.

"Your father and Chen Qiyu both... died unnatural deaths."

Someone shoved Yi Zhongyu down the steps. This time, his consciousness vanished completely.

When he woke again, Yi Zhongyu had returned to the year he was twenty.

He swore he would never again let the Chen family devour the business his father had left behind.

He swore he would give Chen Qiyu a happy ending.

But why was it that this time, Chen Qiyu seemed not to know him at all?

Yi Zhongyu couldn't accept it. He refused to give up.

"You said you and I were like a whirlpool. Then I'll sink with you."

My love, my love, don't frown.

My love, my love, you are the most precious.

(BGM: "Whirlpool" by Peng Ling and Anthony)

[Blurb]

*

Twenty-four-year-old newcomer Ji Chen has just won a newcomer award and begun to make a name for himself, when baseless trending scandals and rumors about him suddenly flood the internet.

He wins an award in the morning, then loses an endorsement deal and gets replaced in a famous director's film that afternoon. In a single day, Ji Chen's life plummets from the clouds into the mud.

At his agency's midyear red-carpet event, Luo Yao, a senior actor at the same company, offers him a timely helping hand. He invites Ji Chen to become the kept man of Li Ren, a famous young rich heir in City A, promising that Mr. Li will do everything in his power to help him return to the top.

Ji Chen coolly turns him down. He knows all too well that Luo Yao has been pulling strings behind the scenes, helping bring him to this point.

But Luo Yao says one thing and does another. He drugs Ji Chen's drink behind his back, then forcibly drags him into Li Ren's luxury car.

Drunk and furious, Ji Chen uses the last of his strength to escape the car, then stumbles straight into someone's arms.

The wineglass wobbles, but the wine inside stays steady, not a drop spilling. The man smiles warmly, his handsome features illuminated by the camera flashes. Every gesture exudes nobility and mature charm.

He uses his status to get Ji Chen out of a tight spot.

"Old Wang, take Mr. Ji home."

*

He Siyan has an extraordinary background. He is the head of the He Group and the very center of the capital's financial world. A single stomp from him could send the capital's entire economy into shock.

He keeps Ji Chen, a pretty little plaything, without going out of his way to flaunt it or hide it. People with ulterior motives pick up on scraps and say it's just a fling, that he only wants a bit of fun.

He never denies it, but mostly he ignores them.

Only he knows just how much genuine affection is mixed in with all this.

Until one day, he suddenly discovers that the identity of the canary he keeps is anything but ordinary.

He is stunned, then sinks into even deeper pain.

*

Ji Chen once thought that he and He Siyan were simply getting what they wanted from each other.

He came from humble beginnings, while He Siyan was an influential figure in the capital's business world.

Their statuses were worlds apart, like clouds and mud.

So Ji Chen did his job dutifully, wholeheartedly playing the role of a considerate lover.

Later, Ji Chen got too deeply immersed in the role and accidentally fell in love for real.

So he decided to put his acting skills to the test and take a chance.

He would become He Siyan's equal. He wanted He Siyan to love him openly and without shame.

[Bonus Scene]

Ji Chen never knew how possessive He Siyan was.

Just because Ji Chen didn't call his name in bed, the CEO secretly got angry and drove back to the office alone.

The pretty boy followed him there. Before He Siyan could get mad, Ji Chen saw him talking with his assistant and secretly got jealous without realizing it.

Then the CEO shut him in the office, took Ji Chen by the chin, and decided to give voice to his desires.

Shi Qi is a cat, and a fine one at that: a handsome, sleek black-and-white cat. He's just not very bright, and a man took advantage of him as soon as he arrived in the city.

The optimistic cat has a terrible memory, and getting duped doesn't dampen his determination to make it in the big city. He works hard and, thanks to his good looks and sweet talk, gets hired as a secretary at a major company.

But after only a month on the job, Shi Qi suddenly discovers he's pregnant! Luckily, it's not too obvious, and he can keep anyone from noticing as long as he wears loose clothes.

However, a pregnant cat's spiritual power weakens, and after sunset, he may involuntarily turn back into his true form.

Pregnancy also makes him a little sensitive, and he finds it annoying that Lu Mingzhong, the head of his department, is always giving him a hard time.

Lu Mingzhong is tall and imposing, with a terrible temper. He has seven assistants, each taking turns as his personal assistant for one day of the week.

That's because nobody can put up with Mingzhong for two days in a row.

One evening after work, it was already late, and Shi Qi had spent all his energy being the personal assistant that day. As soon as he reached the foot of the company building, he couldn't help turning back into a cat.

Then a pair of hands scooped him roughly into someone's arms.

Those hands were incredibly strong, and Shi Qi couldn't break free for a while.

And so Shi Qi was forced to become a house cat.

*

Lu Mingzhong found a cat, a handsome, sleek black-and-white one. It was probably a stray from near the company, but it was gorgeous, with a symmetrical face and silky long fur, almost as beautiful as an expensive Ragdoll.

Lu Mingzhong had never been good with animals. Even the animals in the zoo avoided him, let alone the strays on the street.

This little black-and-white cat was the only one that charged straight at him.

Lu Mingzhong immediately decided to take the cat home, become its devoted servant, and spoil it with the best food and care.

Even more surprising, a month later, the cat he had found gave birth to a kitten.

Wait, that couldn't be right. Unless he was mistaken, this cat was male.

After exactly three seconds of internal debate, Lu Mingzhong decided to stop worrying about it and raise the kitten for now.

But the cat he had found turned out to be terribly irresponsible. It abandoned its kitten and disappeared.

Another month passed. While looking for the adult cat and caring for the kitten at home, Lu Mingzhong watched the little one slowly grow.

Wait, that couldn't be right. Unless he was mistaken, why didn't the kitten look like a cat? It looked a bit like a wolf.

Lu Mingzhong stroked his own fluffy tail.

"Could it be that pets grow up to resemble their owners?"

[Bonus Scene]

Ever since the adult cat went missing, Lu Mingzhong had printed up missing-cat flyers and shared a post about finding it in the company chat.

His neighbors and coworkers all shook their heads and said they hadn't seen the cat.

Then someone suggested he include a photo of the kitten. Maybe seeing its baby would make the adult cat come back.

Lu Mingzhong thought that was a great idea.

That day, Shi Qi happened to be on duty as Lu Mingzhong's personal assistant.

Shi Qi saw that Lu Mingzhong had set his kitten as his phone wallpaper. He hesitated, unsure whether to say something, then stopped himself again.

At last, he managed to say,

"Your kitten kind of looks like me."

Huo Lichen is Qi Beichen's personal assistant and bodyguard. As the person in charge of Yunding Group, Qi Beichen has an assistant who can handle anything, from office work to combat. Huo Lichen works as his secretary during the day, then takes on dangerous jobs at night for extra money from Qi Beichen, often sneaking into Tianqiong Tech to steal trade secrets.

Yunding Group and Tianqiong Tech have been rivals for years, and everyone in the industry knows they're as hostile as fire and water.

By some strange coincidence, one pitch-black night, while Huo Lichen was carrying out another of Qi Beichen's assignments, he was caught red-handed by Zhou Chongjun, the head of Tianqiong Group. The two fought fiercely, all the way up to the roof of Tianqiong Tech's skyscraper.

With nowhere left to run and Zhou Chongjun still closing in, Huo Lichen steeled himself and leaped backward off the thirty-story building.

He never expected that, at the last possible moment, Zhou Chongjun, his sworn enemy, would put their grudges aside and reach out to save him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hold on. The two clung to each other and fell from the skyscraper together.

As they plummeted, Huo Lichen, facing downward, spotted a pool directly below. The water wasn't deep, but falling into it might give them a slim chance of survival. Even so, the odds of making it out alive were next to none.

He had already given up hope, but Zhou Chongjun managed to turn them around and even shielded Huo Lichen's head in time.

Huo Lichen landed on top of Zhou Chongjun as they crashed into the water, sending a splash two meters high.

*

Huo Lichen never expected to wake up so soon. But the room around him didn't look like a hospital. It looked more like someone's bedroom.

He shifted his body, then rolled over and sucked in a sharp breath.

Zhou Chongjun was lying naked beside him. On Huo Lichen's side of the bed, there was also a wooden crib. A baby who looked less than six months old was sleeping soundly inside.

Huo Lichen had no idea what was going on. Countless scenarios flashed through his mind, each one horrifying and terrifying, and none of them acceptable.

Just then, the bedroom door opened. A little boy who looked about four stood in the doorway, rubbing his sleepy eyes and calling out in a childish voice,

"Daddy, Papa, I'm hungry! When are you getting up?"

Huo Lichen's brain short-circuited. He couldn't believe it. Five seconds later, he jumped out of bed barefoot and slammed the bedroom door shut.

Somehow, Zhou Chongjun had woken up. He was leaning against the headboard, his honey-colored upper body bare. He waved his phone, its screen filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of notes.

"We've transmigrated five years into the future. The kid outside is your eldest son, and this is your second son. We're married, so accept reality, honey."

[Bonus Scene 1]

Huo Lichen slid down the wall by the door and sat on the floor, curling his arms around himself in despair and burying his face so he wouldn't have to confront the cruel reality.

At some point, Zhou Chongjun had gotten out of bed. He grabbed a pair of pants from the wardrobe and put them on, then walked over and crouched beside Huo Lichen, his lips almost touching his ear.

"Who knew Qi Beichen's all-around assistant was an Omega..."

He gave a knowing smile, then opened the door and picked up his utterly confused son with one arm.

Then he headed straight to the kitchen with the boy.

"Come on, let's have your A-Chen Papa make you pancakes in a bit!"

[Bonus Scene 2]

To keep Tianqiong Group's stock price steady and prevent the two children from suffering childhood trauma, Huo Lichen was forced to wear the identity of "Tianqiong Group's lady boss" and play a loving couple with Zhou Chongjun.

In the past, because of Qi Beichen's hints, Huo Lichen had always thought Zhou Chongjun was a cunning, calculating businessman who would stop at nothing for profit. But after spending several months together, he gradually realized Zhou Chongjun was loyal and kind, a man with real feelings, and even capable of being a wonderful father.

As time went on, Huo Lichen found himself in a difficult position, unsure how to describe his feelings. He only knew that somewhere deep in his heart, spring was slowly beginning to bloom.
