Modern romance. Waiting for the Wind to Come
Strong female lead, charming male lead. Rekindled romance.
A flirtatious female CEO x the male beauty she once kept
This is a trope I really love. Reserving this spot for now.
Rising entertainment-industry star Gu Jin was hit with a bombshell scandal.
Before his debut, at eighteen, he worked as a waiter in a nightclub. Later, a big shot took a shine to him and got him all kinds of resources, which led to his success today.
There were photos, there was proof. Fans turned on him in droves, and Gu Jin's Weibo was flooded overnight with insults.
It was no wonder his fans reacted so strongly.
Gu Jin's image in the entertainment industry was all about being pure and alluring. He had beautiful bone structure and a stunning figure: broad shoulders, long legs, defined abs, and a slender waist. The pair of butterfly-shaped shoulder blades, white as porcelain, had captivated countless onlookers. Yet his gorgeous face was paired with innocent puppy eyes. Whenever he looked at someone, his eyes always seemed to glisten, making him look genuinely sweet and well-behaved.
He'd fooled so many motherly fans with his innocent persona. The backlash was just as fierce.
With no other choice, his company suspended all his work. Before they could figure out how to respond, something else happened to Gu Jin.
He drank himself sick, vomited blood, and was photographed by paparazzi as he was admitted to the hospital.
The next day, Shen Fuyu, heiress to the Shen Group, personally posted a clarification on Weibo.
"I'm the big shot. There was no sugar-dating. We truly loved each other."
Everyone was in an uproar, and no one believed her.
After all, when it came to the Shen family, four words said it all: money and power.
Shen Fuyu in particular was said to be both capable and shrewd. Despite having four older brothers in the family, she had been designated the next heir. Anyone could tell she was a force to be reckoned with.
Would someone like her really be interested in a pretty face with no substance from the entertainment industry?
Then Shen Fuyu made the unprecedented move of appearing on a show with her fiance, where she ran into Gu Jin. His fans went wild.
"Holy crap, Miss Shen is so commanding and gorgeous. I'm in love!"
"Wait, Gu Jin, wake up! She has a fiance. Why are you looking at her like a jilted husband?"
"What do we do? I hate to admit it, but there's nothing innocent about the way my baby looks at Miss Shen."
"I know I'm morally questionable, but baby, don't just suffer in secret. Go steal her back!!"
"Miss Shen, we're begging you. Please turn around and look at our baby just once."
Smoke swirled through the room. Shen Fuyu snatched the drink from his hand and, looking down at him, backed him into a corner.
"Was the pity ploy fun? Gu Jin, if I remember correctly, you were the one who asked to break up."
Drunk and red-eyed, Gu Jin dropped to one knee and wrapped his arms around her waist. "And who was it that said they'd give me away? You think you can just break up with me because I said so?"
"Shen Fuyu."
"Can't you at least try to comfort me?"
