The Fake Aloof Star Goes Viral After Being Hated by the Entire Internet

Pretends to be cool on the outside, but is sharp-tongued by nature, the shou X the scheming green-tea gong

[Gong: I love him so much, but I won't say it. I'll secretly lure him in] X [Shou: I think I'm acting normally, but I'm actually irresistible]

After the highly anticipated drama The Years airs, viewers discover Wen Chang, a fresh face playing a teacher. He has an otherworldly air and a cool, refined appearance.

He's a beauty with the kind of naturally cool aura the entertainment industry has never seen before.

Just as viewers are looking forward to this newcomer, they suddenly discover that Wen Chang is a beautiful but vicious snake-hearted figure, a useless pretty face.

#Violence #Resource backing #Stealing opportunities

How could this be allowed?!

Concerned netizens can't hold back and rush to Wen Chang's Weibo to hurl abuse at him.

"Get out of the entertainment industry! We have plenty of good-looking people already!"

"What a waste of that face... Is it even real?"

At the same time, they discover that Wen Chang, who never used to reply to comments, now spends every day prowling through them.

Wen Chang: "You leave the biosphere first, then I'll leave the entertainment industry."

Wen Chang: "We go to the same hospital."

His attack power is outrageous!

Netizens who have spent years surfing the internet have never seen a celebrity fight back so directly.

In no time, Wen Chang becomes the actor with the most fans on the entire internet.

They're all antis, though.

The internet keeps changing, and plenty of people are drawn to Wen Chang by his looks and acting skills and become new fans.

New fan: [Why are you all insulting someone this wonderful?] They prepare to go to Weibo and fight the antis to the death.

But as they join in, the new fans realize Wen Chang's antis seem a little different from everyone else's.

Antis: "Your new drama's out? We'll go boost its ratings!"

Antis: "Why are there so few comments on the new variety show? Your team is useless. I just called out the fan group in the chat. Watch for it to trend tomorrow."

New fans: ...? Do antis these days handle engagement stats and voting too? Then what are we?

What's more, Wen Chang wins Best Supporting Actor for his first role as the third male lead after debuting, then goes on to win several gold awards.

Well-known variety shows invite Wen Chang as a guest time and time again.

In every vote, Wen Chang always takes first place. Not for any other reason than that he has more fans than anyone else online.

Eventually, Wen Chang has the largest fanbase of all, and it's unstoppable.

And he himself wins every major award and reigns supreme in popularity.

While still in school, Wen Chang gets dumped after beating up his cheating boyfriend.

The next morning, he wakes up to find that his new roommate is a classmate of his ex-boyfriend.

His new roommate, Lin Cixian, smiles brightly. "What a coincidence!"

After that, Wen Chang keeps running into Lin Cixian by coincidence, and Lin Cixian's gaze at him seems a little strange.

For example, when the dorm loses power, Wen Chang comes out of the bathroom with his hair dripping wet. Lin Cixian happens to be going to the water room to get water and brings back several buckets of hot water for him.

As he helps pour the water, he asks, "Is it too hot? Too cold? Are two buckets enough?" Then he brushes the hair beside Wen Chang's ear with his fingertips. "You missed a spot here."

Wen Chang's ears immediately tingle. "...It's so hot. Are you trying to scald a pig?"

-

Wen Chang is invited to join a wilderness survival show, but the program requires each contestant to bring a companion.

Wen Chang brings Lin Cixian. By coincidence, Lin Cixian's hiking pack accidentally falls off a cliff on the day of the climb, leaving him without any gear.

Wen Chang, who is setting up the tent, can't stand Lin Cixian's incessant chatter any longer.

Wen Chang: "Sleep! Fine, I'll let you sleep!"

Viewers watching the livestream: Something's not right with you two!

That night, Lin Cixian crawls into Wen Chang's sleeping bag wearing only his underwear.

Wen Chang wakes up in the middle of the night, hot. It feels like there's a furnace beside him, especially around his lower back. He instinctively tries to push it away, but his hand grabs something inexplicable. Then the arm around his waist suddenly tightens...

Lin Cixian asks, his meaning unclear: "Are you sleeping or not?"

Wen Chang wakes up in an instant. "How the hell am I supposed to sleep now?!"

-

Half a year later, Wen Chang suddenly slaps his thigh.

Oh, right! That guy's gaze was totally gay!!

Gong's perspective:

After becoming roommates with Wen Chang, Lin Cixian spends every day holding himself back.

No one knows that Lin Cixian has liked Wen Chang since high school, or how many things he's done that are too shameful to mention.

Now that the opportunity is right there, Lin Cixian plants a seed called coincidence.

He takes ninety-nine steps. For the final one, he lures Wen Chang into stepping toward him.

By the time Wen Chang comes to his senses... he's already sunk deep into Lin Cixian's mire.

Reader's guide:

The protagonist is a student at the beginning. Later, the shou becomes an actor, while the gong returns home to inherit the family fortune, more or less becoming a domineering CEO. It combines campus life and the entertainment industry.

One-on-one, happy ending, both virgins, sweet romance and wish fulfillment.

(People define "both virgins" differently. The author's definition: no sex or kissing with the ex-boyfriend.)

#This world is one giant novel

Bai Mushan is a lazy, low-effort actor who works in the entertainment industry on and off. One day, he awakens and realizes that he's merely a background character in a novel.

Bai Mushan: Whatever. I don't care.

Just as he's planning to keep slacking off, Bai Mushan discovers that he's somehow transmigrated into a book that night.

But it's still the same world?!

Bai Mushan soon realizes that this world is made up of multiple novels. By day, he's himself. At night, he's one of countless nameless, disposable background characters.

In a domineering CEO novel, the movie emperor and the CEO get passionate in the bathroom, then an accident occurs. Bai Mushan puts on a white coat, slips on gold-rimmed glasses, grabs a medical kit, and rushes to the villa.

Then he delivers the classic line: "It's just a little scrape. Was it really worth calling me here in such a panic in the middle of the night? Have you really fallen for him?"

In a variety-show-with-kids novel, an eight-year-old young master has a bizarre temperament, and changing nannies over and over does nothing to help. Then, on the day a male nanny starts, the young master's temper improves.

A month later, Bai Mushan finally gets to deliver the classic line: "I've been in this household for so long, and this is the first time I've seen the young master and young sir smile."

In a dating-show novel, the gong and shou are married by agreement and join a dating show to prove they're completely incompatible. This time, Bai Mushan is a live commentator from the neighboring team.

Bai Mushan: "Do you two have telepathy? How do you keep choosing the same thing?"

Bai Mushan: "Everyone, trust me, those two are definitely for real. Otherwise, I'll drink water while standing on my head."

Bai Mushan: "Ahhh, they're so perfect together!!"

Bai Mushan suddenly becomes famous.

He's an amazing actor who can transform into any role.

A dedicated doctor, an elite CEO, a capable butler, the perfect husband...

Besides that, he knows all the gossip and juicy secrets inside and outside the industry.

And it's all verified.

Gossip fans joke that he's the busiest person in the entertainment industry. He's so busy filming, yet still finds time to gossip.

Bai Mushan: Thanks, but I really just want to laze around!

The next novel is an entertainment-industry story where the protagonist is doted on by everyone. The gong and shou meet through a matchmaking arrangement. On the surface, it's a marriage-first, love-later story, but behind the scenes, the gong Xu Rong is so deeply in love with the shou that he can hardly contain himself.

All kinds of powerful figures shower the shou with affection and give him opportunities, serving as his backing.

But this time, the plot hasn't started yet.

Bai Mushan breathes a sigh of relief. Finally, he can take a break.

One day, Bai Mushan is invited to take part in a livestream event.

Normally, wherever Bai Mushan goes, there's gossip, but this time everything is calm. Bai Mushan carefully discusses the key points throughout.

Livestream viewers: Could the "Gossip God's" title finally be slipping away?

Halfway through the stream, Bai Mushan's phone rings. It's his mother. He answers helplessly, just about to speak...

"Son, I've found someone for you. He's a great young man named Xu Rong. Make some time to meet him."

Gossip fans: Holy crap, this is some huge gossip!

Bai Mushan suddenly remembers the plot. Holy crap, this is some huge gossip!
