Don't Get Me Worked Up [Entertainment Industry]

The next novel, After We Said Goodbye, is looking for lots of love from you angels! Please add it to your collections!

The blurb:

"I had a brief encounter with a big shot and now I'm crushing on him like crazy! What should I do?!"

One day, Liang Mo posted this note on Xiaohongshu, and the comments came pouring in:

"Is the big shot handsome?"

"Did anything happen between you two? Did you kiss? Did you do it?"

The questions left her so choked up she could barely breathe.

By chance, Liang Mo got drunk and hit on a handsome man. She was just about to kiss him when she realized he was Ji Baichuan, a well-known director in the industry.

Ji Baichuan was a brilliant young talent who devoted himself to movies and had no interest in women. There were rumors that a certain actress had knocked on his door in the middle of the night and ended up blacklisted, so no one dared approach him after that.

Liang Mo shared the story on Xiaohongshu, and the commenters helped her find a new approach.

Liang Mo: "Director Ji, could I learn from you more often from now on? I'd be perfectly happy if you occasionally tossed me a tiny role."

Ji Baichuan: "Learn what?"

Liang Mo: "Learn... how to act in steamy scenes."

Ji Baichuan: ...

Ji Baichuan once told her he would never marry or have children. So when she wanted to find a boyfriend, she just had to let him know, and he would set her free.

Later, faced with his all-encompassing tenderness and care, she finally gave in and took the initiative to end their relationship.

Ji Baichuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her coldly. "Why?"

Liang Mo: "I'm afraid I'll get too carried away and want to find a boyfriend."

He lazily lifted his eyes and simply said, "You already have a boyfriend."

Years later, Ji Baichuan accompanied Liang Mo through countless cities and to film festivals around the world. On the coast of Cannes, the evening breeze tossed her tousled hair as the tide crept higher. Ji Baichuan held her close and kissed her again and again. At last, he let her go and asked breathlessly in her ear, "When are you finally going to marry me?"

Later, netizens filmed the moment, and the internet exploded in an instant.

Fan: "The tide's about to come in and they're still making out. Do they have a death wish?"

Ji Baichuan replied: "A lifetime commitment is more important than anything."

Fan: "Was his account hacked??"

Staff member: "There's no saving him..."

Ever since Liang Mo shot to fame with The Ultimate Spark, her on-screen couple with her costar has frequently topped the fandom rankings. But after the movie ended, the two avoided being linked to each other, never mentioning each other or playing up their pairing.

By chance, however, they met again at a Weibo event. Fans of the couple went wild, flooding the site and sending them to the trending charts, while posting fan-made videos full of romantic vibes.

Who could have guessed that one of the top fans would get a personal reply from her brother-in-law himself, on his main account?

"May our friendship last forever (cheers)."

Couple fan: "What the hell do you mean, friendship forever? Brother-in-law, we're just shipping them for fun. Why are you so worked up?"

After Ji Baichuan's secret account dedicated to his love for her was exposed, onlookers also dug up Liang Mo's Xiaohongshu account. Once they connected the dots, they realized that the big shot she had mentioned was none other than her sugar daddy, Ji Baichuan.

Who knew that the very next day, Ji Baichuan would suddenly register his own Xiaohongshu account and comment under Liang Mo's first post:

"What a coincidence, Liang Mo. You're my crush too."

/A sweet but calculating beauty X a lofty, aloof big-shot director

/Lovers first, then a real couple

/A story written on a whim.

/A lighthearted, sweet quick read, one-on-one romance

Content warning: The leads play push-and-pull pretty intensely in the later part of the story, and things may get a little angsty. The plot goes wherever it wants. This is a self-indulgent story written purely to satisfy my personal tastes, and it also has a tiny bit of angst for the male lead. Read with caution if that's not your thing.

My next novel, After We Said Goodbye, is coming soon! If you're interested, angels, please add it to your collections, and maybe follow me too~

◎ The pursuit-and-regret trope ◎

Rebellious bad boy △ gentle, reserved underdog heroine

In college, Yao Jia was going through an awkward growth phase. She was overweight, listless, and insecure. Even so, she fell for Yu Ting, the campus heartthrob every girl adored.

She didn't dare reveal how she felt, but somehow the news reached Yu Ting anyway, and soon everyone knew.

Yao Jia never got a response, so she made up her mind to give up. Unexpectedly, Yu Ting suddenly accepted her just then.

That relationship went on for a whole nine years.

Over those nine years, Yu Ting and his friends started a business and became the owners of a design firm. Yao Jia, meanwhile, worked hard to lose weight, learn makeup, dress well, and keep studying, all so she could become good enough for him.

She was certain of one thing: she loved Yu Ting, and Yu Ting loved her too.

But at a class reunion, his first love, Lin Qingqing, returned. For once, Yu Ting seemed rattled and fled. As Yao Jia passed the restroom, she accidentally overheard a conversation. That night, her dreams shattered, never to be pieced back together.

"Come to think of it, Yu Ting only accepted Yao Jia because of Lin Qingqing."

"What do you mean?"

"He was chasing Lin Qingqing, and we made a bet with him. The forfeit was that if he failed to win her over, he'd have to accept Yao Jia."

"So what happened?"

"Obviously, he failed."

After she went home, Yao Jia thought long and hard. In the end, she decided to let the two of them be together and told Yu Ting she wanted to break up, for the first time in nine years.

And then he went crazy.

Coming soon: Harbor City Rose. If you like the premise, angels, feel free to add it to your collections.

"Marriage first, love later ◎ A playboy turns over a new leaf ◎ Love pursued by force ◎ The second male lead comes out on top"

Cool beauty △ smooth-talking CEO

In a cramped little house in Harbor City, a fire took Liu Yunqi's parents and her happy childhood, and left a scar on her beautiful face.

A Harbor City financial tycoon saw the news and announced that he would adopt her. Liu Yunqi gained a life she could never have dreamed of, but the boy she loved was still the one who had rushed into the fire to save her.

Liu Yunqi often went back to see him. Over time, them getting together seemed only natural.

At the same time, she took her friend's advice and had a beautiful red rose tattooed over her scar.

At eighteen, Liu Yunqi was cool, beautiful, and utterly unique.

But just then, the Shen family faced a financial crisis and suddenly announced that she would marry the man she had called "Brother" for three years. During those three years, Shen Jingmo had never once looked at her properly, so she knew exactly what her life would be like after marriage.

On their wedding night, the man stood beside the bed, lit a cigarette, and said without even looking up, "You don't need to worry. I'm rarely home. We probably... won't see each other more than a few times a year."

She sat at the head of the bed, her lips pressed together. Beneath her cool expression, the rose under her eye made her look even more lonely. "That's fine. I only want the money."

Shen Jingmo had told the truth. The few times they saw each other in a year were usually at the countless charity galas they attended.

One day, her best friend brought her news: Shen Jingmo might have someone on the side, and she should make plans soon.

Liu Yunqi handed Shen Jingmo a divorce agreement and got straight to the point. "The company is out of danger now. I can bow out."

Without hesitation, he tore it up in front of her and smiled. "Does Mrs. Shen not even want the money anymore? If you leave me, you'll have nothing."

If she couldn't get a divorce, then she would shut her heart to love, work hard to make money, and depend on no man.

Liu Yunqi invested the money Shen Jingmo gave her and gradually built up her own capital, buying plenty of properties and setting up companies both large and small.

Out of personal attachment, she bought the old house where the fire had happened and gave Wu Yu a property too. Even Wu Yu himself didn't know about it, but somehow the news reached Shen Jingmo.

As he unbuttoned his cuff, he said slowly, "So that's why you suddenly wanted a divorce. Your old flame is back."

Later, Liu Yunqi met Wu Yu a few times, and every time, Shen Jingmo saw it. Before she could call him out for keeping tabs on her, he blurted out first, "Mrs. Shen, remember your place. A married woman shouldn't meet with men she has no business seeing."

Later, Liu Yunqi came home very late one night. Shen Jingmo grabbed her hand from behind and wouldn't let go. Out of habit, she said, "I didn't go see him."

He nestled against her shoulder, his voice soft and intimate. "But all you ever do is work. How long has it been since you hugged me?"

Little scene 1:

Shen Jingmo's friends were always teasing him, saying that if the young master Shen, who had been with countless women, ever settled down, the sun would rise in the west.

No one expected that the once-infamous playboy would take his wife everywhere he went, even following her when she went out socializing, like a clingy shadow.

When his friends asked why, he said, "She looked at another man twice that day. I think she's fallen for him."

Friends: ???

Little scene 2:

Everyone knew that Shen Jingmo was not only famous in the financial world, but also a renowned painter. One day, he unveiled his latest work at a world-class art exhibition.

Beneath the half-closed eyes of a woman bloomed a gorgeous red rose, dewy and vivid, alluring enough to captivate the world.

On the back, it read:

"Dedicated to the woman I love most, the most beautiful rose in Harbor City."

Theme: Believe in the spark of love
