When a Straight-Laced Tycoon Meets a Masterful Flirt [Entertainment Industry]

[I'm so, so sorry. When I got to the entertainment-industry parts of this story, I kept revising them, but nothing worked. Only then did I realize I know far too little about the entertainment industry to write what I had planned, so I have to pause updates for now.

If I can, I'll continue later. I'm truly sorry. or2]

Su Yi is stunningly beautiful. His friends say that when he smiles, even Daji would have to admit defeat, and that he'd turn heads everywhere if he entered the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, before he could turn heads, he attracted the vermin lurking in the gutters, both jealous of him and lusting after him.

Those who envied him thought, What good is being handsome? He'll never make it big anyway.

Those who coveted him thought, He has no one backing him. He'll be so easy to control.

Until they saw Qin Jingyan, a powerful and notorious figure in the capital, wrap an arm around Su Yi's waist, eyes bloodshot as he demanded through gritted teeth, "You just smiled at that person. Do you like him? Do you like him more than me?"

Su Yi sighed helplessly. "Big brother, I think your condition is getting worse."

Everyone else was shocked. Su Yi actually dared to say Qin Jingyan was sick?!

Little did they know, Qin Jingyan really was sick. Su Yi had just driven him to it...

From the love interest's perspective:

That night, Qin Jingyan lost control and accidentally slept with a young actor. The young actor even asked him to become his sugar daddy.

He hated being manipulated! But when he saw the young actor's pitiful face and tear-red eyes, he agreed as if bewitched.

It was Qin Jingyan's first time keeping a star, and he wasn't very good at it.

The young actor complained that he wanted a new agent. Qin Jingyan: "Get him one!"

The young actor wanted to buy a yacht. Qin Jingyan: "Buy it!"

Well... keeping a young star seemed pretty easy. Whatever the other guy wanted, he just had to give it to him.

But the young actor... the young actor had actually been telling people in secret that he was Qin Jingyan's boyfriend?

Afraid the other man might develop unnecessary feelings for him, Qin Jingyan coldly warned him, "You can have money if you want it, but don't even think about anything else."

Su Yi: Now that's an offer!

When Qin Jingyan realized the young actor really only wanted his money and not him, he panicked completely.

Bonus scene:

The paparazzi broke a story that sent shockwaves through the fandom: Su Yi, the hottest rising star, had a sugar daddy, and it was none other than Qin Jingyan!

Passersby mocked Su Yi for doing anything to get ahead.

His fans were mocked so mercilessly they nearly lost it.

Until Su Yi appeared on a variety show, with Qin Jingyan, the man rumored to be his sugar daddy, following right behind him.

Plenty of people were waiting to laugh and see how the usually haughty Su Yi would grovel before his sugar daddy.

But someone forgot to turn off the recording equipment, and they accidentally heard Qin Jingyan speak in a strained voice: "Xiao Yi, I regret it. It's okay if you don't like me. I... I'm willing to be his replacement."

Everyone: "???"

The fans finally had their moment to gloat: See that? Who's going to say our Xiao Yi is the one groveling now? Though, why does President Qin seem kind of miserable?

But just look at Su Yi's face... If I could be his replacement, I'd be willing too!

That night, President Qin saw the posts on Weibo and completely lost it. Why are people fighting over the chance to be a replacement?
