Let Me Raise You Right This Time: Showbiz

Sang Yi had been in the entertainment industry for six years, and for all six years he'd been dogged by abuse because of the label “mistress's son.” But his face was so stunning that plenty of people went crazy for him. At a charity gala, Sang Yi was drugged and ended up in bed with Jiang Zheye, the son of the richest man in the country. Rumor had it that Jiang Zheye's beloved, the one he could never forget, was Sang Yi's half-brother. Sang Yi thought he'd be lucky to escape with his life, but instead, Jiang Zheye kept calling him “big brother” one moment and “wifey” the next, like a clingy puppy. When Sang Yi was attacked online yet again and landed on the trending list, Jiang Zheye used his verified account to jump into the fray himself. He even wielded his money and influence to turn some of the haters who were busy attacking Sang Yi into allies. Not long afterward, the country's first dating show featuring men aired, and Jiang Zheye called Sang Yi “wifey” right in front of the livestream cameras. After hearing it so many times, Sang Yi was successfully brainwashed. With millions of netizens watching, he accepted the title without a second thought. The two then won the first episode's challenge and earned the chance to star in a short drama as its two male leads. The drama had a kissing scene. Using Sang Yi's lack of experience filming kiss scenes as an excuse, Jiang Zheye coaxed and tricked him into practicing in private. He kissed him so roughly that he bit Sang Yi's lip open. But they say the first step is always the hardest. Once they'd taken it, asking for more kisses became easy. A glance, a simple touch: anything could give Jiang Zheye an excuse to kiss him. Sang Yi knew he shouldn't indulge the guy too much, but whenever Jiang Zheye leaned in, he couldn't help closing his eyes. Kissing seemed addictive. He wanted to kiss him too...
