Synopsis
{It’s finished! Thank you, angels, for keeping me company. My next novel is now updating. I hope you’ll add it to your favorites. Thank you!}
This novel is now paywalled, dears. It’s not very long, so I hope you’ll show your support!
They meet again on a farming reality show.
Qiu Ran unexpectedly becomes Chen Jing’s assistant on the show. Only after they spend time together does she realize that ever since they broke up, he has come to hate her to the core.
Back then, he was a top-tier star at the height of his fame. She was only a production assistant intern who had just graduated and was struggling to make ends meet.
Qiu Ran knows their statuses are worlds apart. She has long since given up on any wishful thinking and doesn’t want to annoy him.
She opens his door to report on work. Before she can get more than a couple of words out, they argue again over their old entanglement. Qiu Ran can’t take it anymore and tries to leave, but Chen Jing stops her and leans close to her ear. “You’re always like this. The first thing you do whenever there’s a problem is run away.”
That’s right.
As far as she’s concerned, even if a broken relationship can be repaired, it’s hard to get back the happiness they had at the beginning. That’s why, every time he reaches out to her, she coldly pushes his hand away.
But whenever she encounters a problem, he just happens to be by her side.
Like a guardian angel she can never shake off. And he’s always getting jealous of any man who talks to her.
After Qiu Ran quits and becomes a director, Chen Jing, playing the male supporting role, has to film a scene with the female supporting actress. But no matter how they try, neither of them can get into character. After weighing her options, Qiu Ran has no choice but to step in herself, take the female actress’s place, and slowly draw Chen Jing into a passionate scene in bed.
They kiss so passionately that the photographer calls cut again and again. Only after a long while do they reluctantly part, dazed, and move on to the next scene.
The male lead’s perspective:
Watching Qiu Ran look dazed and enchanted after he kisses her, Chen Jing figures she must be just as reluctant as he is to let go of their familiar, warm memories.
Who would have thought that after they finish that take, the next one would be her passionate scene with the male lead? He hates that he isn’t the male lead, and can’t believe her acting is so good that she can go straight from her ex-boyfriend’s bed to getting intimate with another man.
Worst of all, she’s cleared the set so no one can watch.
No way. Just imagining it makes him furious.
Unable to hold back any longer, he follows Qiu Ran after she opens the door and fastens her clothes, then barges into her room.
He pins her against the back of the door and kisses her, picking up where they were abruptly interrupted on set.
As he kisses her, he says, “Be with me. This time I’m telling you, not asking.”
Just then, someone knocks. Terrified, Qiu Ran pushes hard against his shoulder.
Chen Jing is such a rascal that he even threatens her: “Stop pushing me, or I’ll start making a scene.”
“Making a scene? What, barking like a dog?”
“I’m not a dog. I’m a wolf, a horny one who wants to devour you whole.”
*Sweet, well-behaved amateur director × rebellious, roguishly handsome top-tier star

*Rekindled romance / reunion after years apart / secret crush / mutual healing / farming reality show / both leads are virgins
My next novel, Don’t Make Me Catch Feelings, is updating next door. I hope you’ll add it to your favorites! And please add me as an author!
“I had a brief encounter with a powerful big shot and now I’ve fallen head over heels! What do I do?”
One day, Liang Mo posted this on RedNote. Netizens replied:
“Is the big shot handsome?”
“Did anything happen between you? Did you kiss? Did you do it?”
The barrage of questions left her speechless.
By chance, Liang Mo drunkenly hit on a handsome man. She was just about to kiss him when she realized he was Ji Baichuan, a famous director in the industry.
Ji Baichuan is a talented young man who devotes himself entirely to film and has no interest in women. Rumor has it that a female star was blacklisted after knocking on his door in the middle of the night, so no one else dares approach him.
Liang Mo shared the story on RedNote, and netizens helped her come up with a new angle.
Liang Mo: “Director Ji, could I learn from you more often? I’d be perfectly happy if you occasionally gave me a small role.”
Ji Baichuan: “Learn what?”
Liang Mo: “How to... act in intimate scenes.”
Ji Baichuan: ...
Ji Baichuan once said he would never marry or have children. So whenever she wanted to find a boyfriend, she should let him know, and he would set her free.
Everyone who meets Liang Mo is struck by her snow-white skin, pearl-like beauty, and irresistible charm. She’s simply too innocent, and her manager is always afraid some man will take advantage of her.
In the end, she couldn’t keep it from her manager. “Mo Mo, you don’t have the self-control to walk away from this relationship unscathed. You should end it. If you keep going, you’ll get hurt.”
Liang Mo doesn’t take it seriously. “It’s fine. I haven’t caught feelings yet. Maybe I’ll get bored one day and say goodbye to him.”
-
Not long afterward, Liang Mo wins all three of the country’s major awards for her film The Ultimate Heartbeat. Her acting career takes off, and offers pour in. Naturally, she also gets paired with her costars for publicity. To keep an eye on her, Ji Baichuan takes on projects that all happen to feature Liang Mo.
Fortunately, Liang Mo never behaves ambiguously with her costars on set.
Until one film, when she suddenly changes her tune and gets close to a male star, almost kissing him.
On set, Ji Baichuan calls Liang Mo over under the pretext of discussing the scene. He puts an arm around her waist and presses his lips near her neck. “Have you got your eye on him?”
Afraid someone might see, Liang Mo hurriedly denies it.
Later, faced with his constant tenderness and care, she finally gives in and suggests they end their relationship.
Ji Baichuan arches an eyebrow and looks at her coldly. “Why?”
Liang Mo: “I’m afraid I’ll catch too many feelings and want a boyfriend.”
Ji Baichuan lazily lifts his eyes and says only, “You already have a boyfriend.”
Years later, Ji Baichuan accompanies Liang Mo through countless cities and across the world’s major film festivals. By the seaside in Cannes, the evening breeze tosses their tousled hair, and the tide is rising. Ji Baichuan holds her close and kisses her again and again. At last, he lets her go and asks breathlessly in her ear, “When are you finally going to marry me?”
Later, someone films the moment and posts it online. The internet explodes.
Fan: “The tide’s about to come in, and you’re still making out! Are you trying to get yourselves killed?”
Ji Baichuan replies: “Getting married is more important than anything.”
Fan: “Did his account get hacked??”
Staff member: “There’s no saving him...”

The next book "Don't Let Me Get Up" is serialized next door, I hope you can collect it! By the way, please give me some advice! "After a brief encounter with the boss, I fell into a crazy crush! What should I do!" One day, Liang Mo published such a note on Hongshu, and netizens responded as follows: "Is the boss handsome?" "Did anything happen to you? Did you kiss or do anything?" The question choked her up. By chance, Liang Mo hooked up with a handsome guy after being drunk. It was only after they kissed him that he realized that this guy was Ji Baichuan, a well-known director in the industry. Ji Baichuan is a young talent who is obsessed with movies and has no interest in women. There are rumors that a female star knocked on his door in the middle of the night and was banned, so no one dared to approach her. Liang Mo shared this story on Xiaohongshu, and netizens helped her find another way. Liang Mo: "Director Ji, can I learn more from you in the future? As long as you give me some small roles occasionally, I'll be satisfied." Ji Baichuan: "What to study?" Liang Mo: "Learn... To act in passionate dramas." Ji Baichuan:… Ji Baichuan once said that he will not get married and have children in the future, so whenever he wants to find a boyfriend, tell him and he will give her her freedom. Everyone who has met Liang Mo cannot but admire her skin as white as snow, beauty as pearls, and all kinds of charm. It's just that she is too simple, and her agent has always been worried that sooner or later she will be deceived by a man. After all, this matter was not hidden from the manager's eyes: "Momo, you can't get out of this relationship with your determination. It's better to break it off, you will be in pain if you continue." Liang Mo didn't take it seriously: "It's okay. I haven't gotten involved yet. I might get tired of it one day and be with him in vain." Not long after, Liang Mo won the top three movies in China with the movie "The Ultimate Heart". Since then, his acting career has been booming, and he has been getting a lot of film appointments. Of course, it was also indispensable to speculate on CP with the co-stars in the movie. In order to keep track of him, Ji Baichuan took Liang Mo in the films he took. Fortunately, Liang Mo and his co-stars never showed any ambiguous behavior on the set. Until in a certain drama, she changed her previous attitude and suddenly became close to a certain male star, almost kissing him. On the set, Ji Baichuan called Liang Mo over on the pretext of telling a drama, put his hand around her waist, pressed the side of her neck and said, "Are you attracted to him?" Liang Mo was afraid of being seen, so he quickly denied it. Later, faced with his all-pervasive tenderness and care, she finally gave in and took the initiative to end the relationship. Ji Baichuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her coldly: "Why." Liang Mo: "I'm afraid I'm too high-spirited and want to find a boyfriend." Ji Baichuan lazily raised his eyes and just said, "You already have a boyfriend." Many years later, Ji Baichuan accompanied Liang Mo through countless cities and visited major film festivals. On the beach in Cannes, the evening wind blew my long, messy hair, and the tide was rising. Ji Baichuan hugged her and kept kissing her. After a long time, he let go of her and breathlessly asked in her ear: "When will you marry me?" Later, this clip was filmed by netizens, and the Internet exploded in an instant. Fan: "The tide is about to rise and you are still fighting each other. Are you dying?" Ji Baichuan replied: "The big things in life are bigger than the sky." Fan: "Is this account hacked??"

The next volume of "Don't Let Me Get Up" is being serialized next door. Angels are welcome to collect it! After a brief encounter with the boss, I fell into a crazy crush! What to do! " One day, Liang Mo published such a note on Hongshu, and netizens responded as follows: "Is the boss handsome? " "Did anything happen to you? Did you kiss or do anything? " The question choked her up. By chance, Liang Mo hooked up with a handsome guy after being drunk. It was only after they kissed him that he realized that this guy was Ji Baichuan, a well-known director in the industry. Ji Baichuan is a young talent who only focuses on movies every day and has no other interests. He is also not interested in women. There are rumors that a female star was banned because she knocked on his door in the middle of the night, so no one dares to approach her. Liang Mo later published the story on Xiaohongshu, and netizens helped her find another way. Liang Mo: "Director Ji, can I learn more from you in the future? As long as you give me some small roles occasionally, I'll be satisfied. " Ji Baichuan: "What to study? " Liang Mo: "Learn... How to shoot passionate scenes. " Ji Baichuan:… Ji Baichuan once said to Liang Mo, tell him when she wants to end it, and he will give her her freedom. Anyone who has met Liang Mo will sigh that her skin is as white as snow, as beautiful as pearls, and full of charm. She is just too simple, and her manager is worried every day that she will be cheated by a man sooner or later. However, this matter was not hidden from the eyes of my best friend and manager Chen Shuang: "Momo, you can't get out of this relationship with your determination. It's better to stop it, you will be in pain if you continue. " Liang Mo didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, I haven't gotten involved yet, I might get tired of it one day and be with him in vain. " Later, facing Ji Baichuan's all-pervasive tenderness and care hidden in every detail, she finally lost her battle and planned to end the relationship on her own initiative. Ji Baichuan raised his eyebrows as he stared at the screen, and looked up at her coldly: "What on earth do you mean. " Liang Mo: "Actually, I just want to say that I am a little too obsessed with this relationship, which may cause trouble to you. " He stared at her for a long time, then put his arms around the back of her neck, pressed her on the screen, picked up her chin, and moved toward the red lips. The half-person-high display screen completely isolated the two people from the noisy set. After a long time, Ji Baichuan let go of her, pressed on the side of her neck and gasped: "Why do I think you are the only one in charge? " On the set outside the screen, the two actors and actresses had been kissing for five minutes before the director called out. She had no choice but to continue kissing, until the two of them were kissing in a dizzying state, their mouths were dry, and then they finally shouted in the direction of the screen: "Director, when will it end!? " I only heard a low and suppressed groan from the man on the other end, yelling: "Wait until you finish kissing me. " Two actors: "We've already kissed! " Director: "Then wait until we finish kissing!! " Two actors: "..." /The fishing style idiot beauty x the great director of Flower of the High Mountain /First a lover, then a lover / Release your own product, it has no connotation, don't take it seriously. /Easy to cookies, ready-to-eat snacks, 1V1
