The Director Got Jealous After I Became the Chosen Male Lead

Industry-leading director Bai Xun specifically asked award-winning actor Qi Chen to star in his new film. Director Bai has an exceptionally discerning eye and strives for perfection. He refuses to take on a project unless he finds the most suitable actor, but once someone catches his eye, he can turn even gravel into gold.

For the multiply award-winning Qi Chen, this was just as rare an opportunity.

There was just one problem: Bai Xun was gay, and the male lead in his new film had a romantic storyline with another man.

Everyone knew Qi Chen was completely straight and felt both a physical and psychological aversion to gay men.

At the airport, Qi Chen wore a black windbreaker and sunglasses. In front of several reporters, he let out a cold laugh. "You want me to be your leading man? Keep dreaming."

One was a renowned director, the other a newly crowned award-winning actor. Everyone craned their necks, waiting for the drama. But before long, the trending news that Qi Chen had been cast as the male lead in Bai Xun's new film suddenly appeared.

The only explanation was:

A short scene:

On a livestream variety show for directors and actors, Bai Xun and Qi Chen, who were in the same group, rehearsed in a small room. When they reached the kissing scene in the new film, Bai Xun's expression remained unchanged, but the hand resting on the back of Qi Chen's neck tightened slightly.

Qi Chen smiled, tossed aside the script, and nestled into his arms. "Director Bai, weren't you the one who wanted me to be your leading man? Why don't you seem happy about it?"

The fans and viewers outside the livestream room slowly gaped. "...W-what is going on?!"

Older top, one-on-one. Qi Chen is the bottom, Bai Xun is the top.

Theme: A setback may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
