Pure Motives [Entertainment Industry]

[My novel, Love Goes Both Ways with My Archenemy, is now underway. The blurb is at the bottom. If you like it, feel free to visit my author page and add it to your collection!]

Blurb:

As a broke young actor with nowhere else to turn, Luo Linxi has a very simple reason for getting close to Zhong Yi: resources and money.

To win over the big shot, Luo Linxi transforms into a seductive beauty who knows how to reel people in.

At their first meeting, he catches Zhong Yi's interest.

By their second, he has landed an audition for a major film.

By their third, he has Zhong Yi standing up for him against a petty rival and spending a fortune on him.

His rise to fame goes remarkably smoothly, until the paparazzi expose Luo Linxi's old scandals and photos of him spending the night at Zhong Yi's place.

The online abuse directed at them is overwhelming. Looking at his bank balance, Luo Linxi decides it's time to draw a clear line between himself and Zhong Yi. After all, he's already achieved his goal, and there's no need to cause Zhong Yi any more trouble.

But on the night he comes clean, seeing the burning desire in Zhong Yi's eyes, Luo Linxi has a vague feeling that he's taken things too far.

Luo Linxi (clutching his collar): Your intentions are impure!

Zhong Yi (locking the door): Teacher Luo is right to criticize me.

Zhong Yi: I really can't be as pure in my intentions as you are.

Luo Linxi: (suddenly insulted) (guilty.jpg)

A composed, celibate older top who loses control for love x a seductive beauty, like an aloof flower fallen into the mire, who is the bottom

Reading Guide:

1. The bottom's rumors are false. He was essentially forced into the situation.

2. There is some entertainment-industry content, but the bottom won't stay in the industry in the end.

3. A sweet little treat, though a few parts may be just a tiny bit bittersweet. (Pinching thumb and forefinger together to show a tiny bit~)

4. Thanks for clicking, commenting, and collecting. Love you all! "Bows!"

Blurb for the next novel, Love Goes Both Ways with My Archenemy:

On the first day of graduate school, Yu Li hears his archenemy's voice outside their advisor's office: "Cross-disciplinary applicants have weak foundations. I can't take him on. I'll have to politely decline."

He rolls his eyes, hides the welcome gift he prepared for his "senior," then stands beside Jin Yidi without looking at him, pushes the gift box in front of their advisor, and offers a polite greeting.

A sneer sounds beside him: "Why didn't you bring one for your senior, too? How rude."

"I'll have to politely decline," Yu Li retorts.

After trading barbs back and forth in the office without gaining the upper hand, Yu Li angrily posts on Weibo:

[@Bamboo: Bad luck today.]

Jin Yidi pulls the vibrating phone from his pocket and sees a notification that a mutual-follow friend has posted.

He takes a look and leaves a comment:

[@Wind: What a coincidence. Me too.]

Yu Li sees the comment in the elevator and instantly blushes.

Wind commented on his post!

That's his favorite gaming streamer, Wind!

He thought Wind had only followed him out of politeness, to thank him for making content, but now Wind has interacted with him first! He's so happy he could almost faint!

As Yu Li tries to figure out how to reply, he can't help letting out a soft laugh.

Jin Yidi, standing in front of him, turns around and looks at him like he's an idiot, his face full of disdain.

"What?" Yu Li's face instantly turns to ice. "Got a crush on me?"

"In your dreams," Jin Yidi scoffs. "Even if I turned into a toad, I wouldn't want you."

Later, after discovering Yu Li's true identity, Jin Yidi goes, "Ribbit?"

.

After much deliberation, Jin Yidi decides to confess.

Yu Li gives him a taste of his own medicine: "Even if I turned into a toad, I wouldn't want you. Besides, I already like someone else. Give up."

Jin Yidi presses him for details: "Who do you like?"

Yu Li's cheeks turn red. "Wind."

Jin Yidi:

#Help, I really want to reveal my secret identity#

#But then Yu Li would turn into a toad. Would that make him unhappy?#

Online gaming ace, offline master of flirtatious banter, top student top x online fan artist who draws for love, offline research genius, prickly bottom

Graduate school campus setting. Happy ending.

Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved
