My new story, Cat Hero and the Movie Emperor Switch Bodies, is now being serialized. Welcome to read and bookmark it. The blurb is at the very bottom ^_^
The variety show Let's Eat Together has been trending repeatedly lately. Besides the movie emperor Liang Qingyue joining the show despite never having appeared on one before, there's another explosive development
Cheng Song, an unknown newcomer, keeps clinging to the movie emperor no matter where they are, even acting spoiled and throwing tantrums.
Liang Qingyue, who is usually easygoing on camera, keeps giving him the cold shoulder and speaking brusquely. It's obvious he doesn't like appearing alongside him.
The movie emperor's fans can't stand this newcomer, who's shamelessly riding his coattails for attention: If you're desperate for fame and want to manufacture a CP, at least know your place. You're a nobody from the eighteenth tier, clinging to our top-tier actor. That's like trying to reach the moon by borrowing someone else's ladder!
The newcomer's fans desperately urge their idol not to bring this on himself, while being dragged into a fierce war with the movie emperor's fans, the two sides fighting tooth and nail.
In short, it's lively and chaotic.
Only a small group of CP-minded passersby, who believe "shipping everything is the secret to a balanced diet," unexpectedly pick up on the chemistry between them. They put on their sunglasses and decisively become fans of the pair. In the middle of all the chaos, they even set up a CP forum and dug a pit, ready to start laying the foundations by spotting sweet moments.
Soon, someone makes a surprising discovery: the movie emperor, who has never manufactured a CP with anyone, has a CP forum that's been around for almost ten years, called [Back to Qing with Cheng]. The sweet moments there are delicious, incredibly sweet, and tooth-achingly saccharine. But the forum hasn't been updated in a very long time, so it looks like the couple broke up ages ago.
Of course, that's not the point! The point is that the other male lead in the forum has a name similar to the newcomer Cheng Song's. He's called "Cheng Song," and the two of them even look very alike. Now that they're standing together on camera, a comparison with the old photos makes it obvious: they're the same two people, just in a more mature, plus-sized edition.
The CP fans, who'd originally been shipping them for fun: Huh???
The movie emperor's ten-year fans: …Why is this dead CP suddenly attacking me?
As the movie emperor's public image on the show gradually crumbles, more and more material from ten years ago is unearthed. They also discover that the so-called "newcomer" Cheng Song is actually the CEO of a publicly listed company… The situation becomes utterly impossible to control.
The solo fans, now at each other's throats: ???
The casual passersby who were only taking one bite: ???
※Reunion after a long separation / rekindled romance / younger gong, younger gong, younger gong
※The entertainment industry details aren't realistic, and comparisons with real life aren't recommended. Lots of fan perspectives shipping them and digging up old material; sweet moments are mixed with plenty of flashbacks.
※No real-life inspiration, and please don't project real people onto the characters. Thank you =v=
Blurb for A Mutual Descent into Madness:
Yu Shu is a cat by nature, but after reaching adulthood, he can maintain a human form reliably. Having traveled far and wide since childhood as the Cat Hero, he's right at home in complex human society.
For the past few years, he's been working as an idol in the entertainment industry to make big money. He's dedicated, hardworking, honest, and friendly, and is famous both inside and outside the industry as a workaholic.
But life is full of surprises
He wakes up one day to discover that he's switched souls with Xu Cheng, a famous movie emperor, and he has no idea when they'll switch back.
Yu Shu: …Hello? Heaven, what is wrong with you? Is this really okay to do to a little cat who's working hard to improve himself??? :D
Unfortunately, life is full of drama. Two people who might as well be strangers even in the vast entertainment industry end up living together in style as they search for a way and an opportunity to switch back.
They worry themselves sick over each other's work, take on plenty of jobs they've never done before, and are both utterly exhausted by each other's shortcomings.
But the one who's probably most exhausted is Movie Emperor Xu
Compared to an idol who's working himself to the bone and has an overwhelming workload, waking up to find himself turned into a cat seems even more surreal. And the owner of this body is sleeping soundly right next door.
Xu Cheng: …? What the hell.
This workaholic who throws himself into every job… He's clearly not one of my kind. Xu Cheng stared at his very real cat paws for a long time before finally understanding.
Yu Shu, woken up by a rough cat-paw smack, is startled by his own cat face: …Wait! I can explain!
Xu Cheng (utterly cold): "Oh?"
Yu Shu (suddenly narcissistic): "Ah, as expected, my real form is handsome."
Xu Cheng: …Meow! (Is that the point?!)
Because of this sudden accident, Movie Emperor Xu, who's taken on a variety show he can't turn down, and Yu the Cat, a former idol, stare at each other for a long time and sigh over their respective fates.
With Movie Emperor Xu's face, Yu Shu can only carry Xu Cheng, who can't turn back into his human form, and take his place on the show. Their strange human-and-cat duo gains lots of fans, while Yu the Cat's lively personality completely shatters the aloof image a certain movie emperor has maintained for years.
Until one day, Movie Emperor Xu, who's still not used to his cat form, wakes up from a nap and rolls over in bed. Right in front of Yu Shu, he suddenly "boops" back into human form, and the two unexpectedly end their soul swap.
The two of them stare at each other in the room. When they hear an actor friend knock and ask a question from outside the door, Yu the Cat, always committed to professionalism, immediately dives onto the bed. Movie Emperor Xu catches on and quickly climbs onto the bed to pin down the person under the blanket. "Wait, wait, wait!!!"
Let me think of a way to explain why there's suddenly a male celebrity who's not a guest in the room.

Question: What's more absurd than switching souls?
Answer: Almost switching back on camera, when the other person isn't even human (literally).
A master at playing dumb / carefree optimist / a cat hero who loves whatever job he's doing, shou VS a movie emperor who's always testing the limits of retirement / a couch potato who doesn't want to promote himself but has to work overtime for his wife's career, gong
Theme: Face challenges head-on

I've finished reading it. It's a very gentle story. I like Teacher Liang very much. He is very gentle. I also like Song Song. He is a coquettish baby. He is really cute. I hope our Chengqing will last forever and be happy forever (*`▽?*)
I cried and laughed after reading it. It is really a very heart-warming story.
It's the second brush. I want to be happy.
There is no mention of love in every sentence, but it is love in every sentence. I am really touched.
Laws, do you remember me? I'm back. I haven't seen you for a long time.
Hee hee, the coquettish Song Song and the super pampering Teacher Liang are so sweet 🐰
Happy^_^, both of them are good babies
