A dazzling superstar x an unknown writer
A female writer and her muse!
[Note from 2026.1.4] No matter how I revise the later part, it still feels off. The quality is a huge drop from the beginning, and I'm still doing a major rewrite. I don't recommend reading it for now. I'll try to finish it all at once later.
Shen Yuwei is currently the hottest actress in Chinese entertainment.
In advertising campaigns, she's as cool and luminous as moonlight, the industry's universally acknowledged unattainable beauty. She's extremely careful to protect her reputation, and for years has appeared only in major productions by acclaimed directors, all nominated for international film awards.
But just as everyone expected her to contend for this year's Best Actress award with the acclaimed art-house film she was working on, news broke that she'd quit the production. Negative stories flooded the internet, and the trending searches were filled with claims that Shen Yuwei was acting like a diva.
At that point, she turned around and joined another production, a little-known, low-budget film about two women, based on a novel by an obscure new author.
Speculation swept the internet once again. Rumors flew about her and the director, the producers, and the sponsors, claiming she'd made herself available to the powerful people behind the film.
Amid all the chatter, Shen Yuwei made a brief appearance and set the whole internet ablaze with a single statement.
She came out, saying plainly that she wasn't interested in men.
The public's theories changed course once more. People started linking her to the film's other female lead, the second female lead, and the director's assistant. Rumors spread about her and every actress who'd appeared on set.
No one suspected the obscure author of the original novel.
Until, after the film's wrap party, paparazzi snapped an ambiguous photo in the alley behind the restaurant, and it shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Only then did everyone discover that the flustered girl she had gently kissed in the tipsy haze of the night was the author herself.
She was also the inspiration for the film's female lead.
From beginning to end, Shen Yuwei had come for her.
1. A light, sweet romance. The entertainment-industry details are made up, so don't take them too seriously.
2. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
Coming next: Crown and Phoenix Hairpin. Please add it to your favorites!
A noblewoman x the descendant of a rebel
At the Lantern Festival, a fairy in a white veil composed the first half of an elegant poem on the upper floor of the Qianxi Tower. Xie Mingshu answered with a bawdy, risqué verse. The woman wasn't offended at all. Instead, she tossed the bright red embroidered ball in her hand into Xie Mingshu's arms.
At first, Xie Mingshu thought she was an official's daughter who seemed proper but was secretly quite forward.
The next time she saw her was on a battlefield in the countryside. The woman chased her runaway horse for miles and forcibly pulled Xie Mingshu into her arms. Only then did Xie Mingshu discover that the phoenix hairpin in her hand had pierced the horse's rump, leaving blood all over her hands and face. The woman said, "If you were a man, I'd have stuck this hairpin in your neck."
Xie Mingshu touched the exposed side of her own neck with the woman's hand. The woman laughed and said, "But you're a woman, so I'll give it to you as a token of my love."
At that point, Xie Mingshu thought she was a proud, fiery heiress, wilder than the fiercest horse.
Only when rebels slipped into the capital and they met again at a lavish banquet, amid gleaming finery and clinking cups, did Xie Mingshu realize that the woman she'd been longing for came from a prestigious family. Every gesture she made was the model of feminine propriety, and the nobles who surrounded them looked up at her with envy and admiration.
She was the perfect woman, molded by the rules of propriety, and the virtuous, gentle wife every son of the nobility dreamed of marrying.
And she was soon to marry the Crown Prince, becoming the future empress.
Xie Mingshu had never imagined that the woman she thought of day and night was a caged songbird, carefully kept by her sworn enemy.
1. A classic, old-fashioned style. The two are in love with each other from the start. There's no melodramatic family feud where they have to kill each other. They're both bold, passionate women who know what they want.
2. No specific dynasty. The author knows little about history, so please don't nitpick the historical details.
3. Happy ending.
Theme: Love itself is a blessing.

This is too distrustful... If you don't change your character, you won't be exhausted when you fall in love...
Lin Shuangshuang's guesses are accurate every time.
Don't get stuck here, okay? My paws are so itchy. If you make trouble again, I'll arrest people on Weibo.
Good, good, good 🤩 Can't you guys kiss me?
Teacher Shen, Teacher Shen, you are so jealous!!!!
It's so sweet. I'll write more if you can.
It's been almost a month, haven't you updated yet?
Hahaha, it's not too immoral. Teacher Shen, what do you want to do?
Hahahahahahahaha is not too immoral.
It's too hard to be made of steel! I forgot all about it after a nap! Lin Shuangshuang still understands. But it seems that Shen Yuwei didn't "suffer" at all and was quite enjoying it.
