Exclusive Starlight

[Completed] [Powerful Tycoon x Clear-Headed, Independent Superstar]

Song Zhizhuo was once a hugely popular Best Actress. By a twist of fate, she started dating Lu Qingyan, the head of a wealthy family.

They agreed on three rules: keep it private, impose no restrictions, and take no responsibility.

In short, Song Zhizhuo never expected their relationship to go anywhere.

The head of the Lu family of Ling City had been reduced to a secret lover. Song Zhizhuo was busy filming every day, and the two rarely saw each other.

Their relationship lasted only a year before ending in a breakup.

Everyone knew that Lu Qingyan, the president of Lu Group, had once been in a relationship, but no one knew who the woman was.

At a gathering, his friends started talking about actresses in the entertainment industry.

“If we’re talking about the hottest actress of the last two years, it has to be Song Zhizhuo.”

“My wife’s younger sister is obsessed with her hit new drama. She’s going crazy shipping Song Zhizhuo and Qi Yan.”

“My mom ships them too! She’s every bit as energetic as the young people, flying all over the place to support them in person. She’s a more dedicated shipper than anyone!”

“Then congratulations to them, because their ship is real. A friend of mine invested in that show and visited the set himself.”

As everyone chatted, Lu Qingyan sat alone on the sofa, his expression cool and unreadable. He hadn’t said a word. But at that, he suddenly stood up.

A friend saw him getting ready to leave and asked in surprise, “Hey, you just got here. Where are you going?”

Lu Qingyan replied, “Out for a smoke.”

Lu Qingyan had never been a smoker. Lately, though, he always had a cigarette in hand, and he was smoking more and more.

Song Zhizhuo successfully terminated her contract with her former agency. Her television dramas and films won awards one after another, and her career flourished. Looking back on her previous relationship at the height of her success, she had never regretted it. It was just that the gap between her and Lu Qingyan, in both status and background, was too great. Breaking up had always been where they were headed.

After the awards ceremony, the investors held a banquet to celebrate her success. At the party, Song Zhizhuo received a call. There was no name attached, but she had long since memorized that string of numbers.

After answering, she fell silent for a moment, then spoke first. “...Mr. Lu?”

My next book: My Husband's Looks, My Wife's Glory

Female CEO x Superstar // Marriage First, Love Later

Xia Qingyan and Qin Rang were joined in a business marriage, and they agreed on three rules before the wedding.

First: We won't interfere with each other's work or private lives.

Second: We won't interfere with each other's friendships.

Third: This marriage is a matter of convenience, and we'll go along with it for now. After three years, either of us can call it off at any time.

Xia Qingyan fought her way through more than ten heirs to the Xia family fortune and became the sole heir. Rumor had it she was decisive, ruthless, and full of tricks.

Qin Rang was the second son of the Qin family. He had never taken his studies seriously, but he was blessed with an unbelievably handsome face. He later entered the entertainment industry and became a superstar adored by everyone.

He was busy, and she was even busier.

They only saw each other at the weekly family dinner.

Everything was perfectly harmonious.

There was just one thing: Why did her husband talk so dirty when they were...?

Xia Qingyan was genuinely baffled by this, and found it increasingly hard to put up with.

In the third year of their marriage, someone tried to curry favor with Xia Qingyan by sending her a man.

The man came from a wealthy family, was considerate and gentle, had fair skin and good looks, and knew how to cook. Every day, he tried to win Xia Qingyan over with lovingly prepared lunches.

She hadn't even eaten one, but for a moment she wavered. She suddenly understood why men loved women who knew how to comfort them. Her father's fondness for beautiful women had its reasons.

Xia Qingyan seriously considered getting a different husband.

Qin Rang was filming deep in the mountains and somehow got wind of the news. The next day, he showed up unannounced in the CEO's office at Xia Group.

Wrapping an arm around Xia Qingyan's waist, he trapped her against her chair and demanded, “Tell me, who's better-looking, me or him? Do you want me or him?”

Xia Qingyan stared at him, brows knitted and looking furious. “...”

1. The leads entered a business marriage and spent a long time without loving each other. They both treated the marriage as an obligation. The only real thing between them was sex; everything else was fake.

2. The sex is real, and the hero is genuinely filthy-mouthed, but only with the heroine.

3. The hero is too clingy, and the heroine often can't stand it. But there's nothing she can do: he hid their marriage certificate, and she can't find it, so she can't get a divorce.

**** [Bonus Scene] *****

One day, Qin Rang accompanied Xia Qingyan to a business conference. Everyone there was a business leader or industry elite. Qin Rang was the only male star, and someone even took a photo of him.

In the photo, Qin Rang looked bored, resting his head on a woman's shoulder as he rubbed against it and talked.

The photo caused an uproar as soon as it appeared.

The trending topic that day was: #Ten bucks for the truth: Who exactly is the woman beside Qin Rang?#

It didn't take long for people to identify her: the eldest daughter of the Xia family's first wife, Xia Qingyan, the second young lady of the Xia family.

Then people dug up the fact that she was actually the one truly in charge of the Xia family, decisive and shrewd, a hidden powerhouse.

Rumor had it that Xia Qingyan deeply loved a man, lavished all her attention on him, once set off fireworks across the entire city for him, and even built a tower for him.

Qin Rang had been fretting over not having a chance to make his relationship with Xia Qingyan public. There were always other men buzzing around her, hoping to take his place. Now his chance had come.

Qin Rang took the initiative and claimed her in a post: [The building was for me, the fireworks were for me, and all that effort was for me. She's madly in love with me.]

He also posted a photo of the iconic R on the landmark building, along with a picture of the two of them holding hands and watching fireworks in Jin Sanzhou.

Beneath the fireworks, President Xia wore a faint smile. Qin Rang looked at her with a grin stretching from ear to ear. His dazzling smile shone beneath the fireworks, drawing more eyes than they did.

Later, more and more candid photos of the two of them together surfaced.

When the trending topic first appeared: That woman isn't good enough for Qin Rang.

After Xia Qingyan's identity was revealed: Qin Rang isn't good enough for her.

Finally: All right, all right! The husband's looks, the wife's glory. Qin Rang, how did you get so lucky? I'm not saying who I envy!

Theme: In a crowd, you and I never lost each other.
