Think I Don't Dare Flirt? [Showbiz]

The next book I plan to write is *Reworking the Gloomy Little Wretch*. The blurb is below. 1. (Already written~) Qi Ye is a washed-up celebrity plagued by scandals year-round. Desperate to make a name for himself in the industry, he works himself to the bone, only to be devoured by public opinion in the end. He dies suddenly at the age of 29. Fate likes to play tricks on him, and he gets reborn. Since he’s already died once, he decides to stop caring and do whatever he wants. Anyone who messes with him, he’ll take down on the spot. So the trending topics keep filling up with headlines about his latest meltdown. His mental state strikes a chord with so many people that, to everyone’s surprise, he becomes a huge hit. But before long, he’s dragged across the internet again after paparazzi report that he and the Best Actor don’t get along. The story is taken down soon after, though, and Song Yan, the Best Actor who’s always been aloof and stayed out of public spats, personally issues a statement. “We’re very close. Please leave us alone.” The statement sends shockwaves through the internet, and the trending topics explode. Right after he posts it, a hand emerges from beneath the covers. The hand, marked with faint traces of intimacy, slowly rises and knocks Song Yan’s phone away, then grabs his collar and yanks him back down. A slightly hoarse voice sounds unbearably sexy. “Teacher Song, why did you stop?” 2. (Already written~) Song Yan is widely regarded as the gold standard in the industry. He’s not only a talented actor, but also has no scandals to his name. He’s courteous and gentlemanly toward everyone, though rather aloof and difficult to approach. No one would ever connect someone like him with Qi Ye. After all, they seem to belong to completely different worlds. But a set of leaked photos turns everyone’s assumptions upside down. The usually gentlemanly, aloof Song Yan has Qi Ye pinned in a corner, kissing him by force. Their heated passion practically spills out of the screen. And that’s not all: sharp-eyed netizens notice that Qi Ye’s hand is resting on... Netizen: ??? Netizen: Do you two get this wild in private? Reader's Notes: 1. Ye is bold and uninhibited, and he’s the one who makes the first move more often. He’s really wild. 2. Ye is a little crazy, but that isn’t his defining trait. It mainly comes out when he faces injustice. 3. They knew each other before. This isn’t a childhood-friends setup. I won’t say more. 4. There are scenes with a variety show livestream that aren’t mentioned in the blurb. Content warning: 1. Pay close attention, everyone! There are lots of kisses in this story. If that bothers you, don’t read it, because it’ll annoy you. The story is already complete and hard to revise, so I can’t meet everyone’s preferences. If it’s not for you, just click away. Upcoming Book Blurb: Coming Soon: (I’m writing like crazy to build up a backlog, so please add it to your favorites!) A gloomy, obsessive, fake little lamb VS a warm and refined-looking scheming wolf A crossover with *Still Daring to Push the Limits?*, featuring Wen Tingli’s younger brother, Wen Tingyu. A brooding loner who pretends to be obedient VS a man who pretends to be gentle and modest but is secretly cunning Yu Chen never thought he’d cross paths with Wen Tingyu again. After all, a clean-cut young man like him and someone like Yu Chen, who’d always been mired in the mud, belonged to different worlds. In that narrow, shadowy alley, he lay in a pool of blood, his face ashen as he stared at the sky outside and closed his eyes. When he woke again, he was lying in a stark white hospital room. Beside him, with his head resting on the bed, was the person he had always held in his heart. He immediately scrambled out of bed, trying to flee, but a gentle voice stopped him. “Awake? Do you need help?” He had never been so flustered in front of another young man. Even his reply came out stammering. “N-no, I’m fine.” Seeing him like this, the amusement in the other man’s eyes deepened. That afternoon, a dark, damp love began to grow wildly in his heart. He wanted to possess the young man before him completely, so that those beautiful eyes would look at no one but him. At last, as the two of them drew closer, the dark possessiveness Yu Chen had buried deep inside began to break through the soil, putting down roots and growing more and more rampant. Then one day, Wen Tingyu discovered that his usually sweet and sensible little friend had built him a very private basement, sealed off from the world and without a signal, like a cage. His little friend had never felt very secure. That was all right. He was willing to be confined there, too. As Yu Chen watched in alarm, Wen Tingyu opened the basement himself, calmly fastening a slender chain around his own wrist. The smile on his lips was still gentle and indulgent. “Xiao Chen, if you’re the one keeping me here...” “Then I’m willing to stay trapped by you forever.” * Yu Chen had always been careful to act obedient and hide his dark side, because only then would Wen Tingyu keep loving him and stay by his side. After all... only well-behaved children are loved. He had no idea that he’d already been seen through. It was only when the man wearing a chain slowly approached him that he realized something was wrong. Over the years, the man had seemed as gentle and modest as ever. But the burning heat in his eyes made Yu Chen afraid to meet his gaze. The man held out the wrist with the chain on it, his voice as gentle as always. “Xiao Chen, what would you like to do to me now?” “The basement is cold. Will you stay with me every day?” Theme: In this life, what matters most is being happy yourself~
