Showbiz | Unrequited love turns mutual | Secret identity | Fake sugar daddy
Also known as: Is the Big Shot Investor My Biggest Career Fan?
Su Manta was a genius actress who reached the peak of her career as soon as she debuted. She was gorgeous, and her performances were full of life. Yet, just as everyone was putting their hopes in her, her career unexpectedly crashed at lightning speed. When she was thinking of leaving showbiz and going home to take the civil service exam, her best friend appeared out of nowhere and started preparing for her comeback. Along the way, Su Manta unexpectedly met the ascetic, handsome armorer Tan Guangyi.
Tan Guangyi was a top history student and the costume instructor on the set of Su Manta's comeback film. He looked so ascetic it was almost unfair, and he shamelessly put his good looks to use. He was exactly Su Manta's type.
Su Manta's film project stalled, and she ran into trouble when someone tried to take advantage of her.
Then she unexpectedly discovered that Tan Guangyi, who had shared boxed lunches with her on set, was actually...
A BIG-SHOT INVESTOR!
*
On that chaotic, rainy night, Su Manta's thin shoulders trembled as she stared at him. Clutching his sleeve, she pleaded:
"Please, take me under your wing..."
Tan Guangyi still wore his tired, aloof expression. His thin lips parted.
"All right."
He answered without a trace of emotion, but his other hand clenched into a fist as he struggled to suppress his anger.
How many lives did those people think they had, to dare bully the person he held most dear?
*
Like a drowning person, Su Manta grabbed onto her lifeline.
She thought he was no different from those other big-shot investors.
He was only keeping her around for fun and amusement.
That was fine. They could each get what they wanted. She needed shelter in this cutthroat world of fame and fortune.
But...
When film offers, brand endorsements, and the latest-season designer outfits came crashing down on her in endless waves, Su Manta finally realized:
She was still a money tree!
*
As her contract neared its end, Su Manta finally made her way back to the top tier. On the day of the awards ceremony, rumors flew that she was involved with the male lead of her film. She secretly worried that Mr. Tan might get jealous, then laughed at herself.
She was just a canary in a gilded cage. She needed to know her place.
Yet as the contract was about to end, she had already become a top-tier star, while he was her honored guest.
Across the sea of people,
their eyes met.
She thought that at last she could stand beside him
and tell him loudly, "I like you."
Instead, she received news of his upcoming wedding...
Bonus scene:
Several years later.
Su Manta was curled up on the sofa reading a new movie script. Hearing a noise at the entrance, she ran over without even putting on her shoes. Tan Guangyi, back from a business trip, was changing his shoes. When he saw Su Manta, he stopped and opened his arms.
Su Manta ran to him and nestled tightly against him.
Tan Guangyi: "The floor's cold. Stand on my feet. Reading a script?"
Su Manta: "Mm..."
Tan Guangyi: "Is it a good script?"
He gently rubbed her hair.
Su Manta: "Mm... It's just... there are some intimate scenes..."
Tan Guangyi: "Oh?"
Tan Guangyi, president of Tan Capital, sat up straight and began carefully reading the script...
He looked like a parent grading an elementary school student's homework, his expression grave.
Half an hour later, he looked up, his Adam's apple bobbing. Then he pulled Su Manta into his arms and effortlessly carried her toward the bedroom.
Su Manta: "What are you doing?"
Tan Guangyi curled his lips into a smile and held her even tighter.
"Helping you rehearse."
Su Manta: ...

A cocky, rebellious playboy X a gentle, resilient wallflower
*
Everyone says Chen Nuanxing is a well-behaved girl with excellent grades, a pretty face, a gentle nature, and a proper upbringing. But all of that is an act. In truth, she just hates trouble.
The person who saw through her disguise was the transfer student who arrived with a hundred days left until the college entrance exam: Chen Che.
People had been talking about Chen Che ever since the day he transferred to Fengshan No. 1 High School. He was handsome and cold, had little to say to anyone, and always seemed completely indifferent, as if anything would be fine with him.
When a junior girl gave him a love letter, he merely looked at her coldly and walked away. Most of the time, he kept to himself. The only person he talked to much was his deskmate, Chen Nuanxing.
They met on a terrible day during a sandstorm. Chen Nuanxing's bicycle rear-ended Chen Che's car. The handsome young master who shamelessly wielded his good looks said his first words to her:
"Are you trying to scam me?"
The rebellious boy was suddenly saddled with responsibility and forced to take care of the injured Chen Nuanxing.
They hid their affection deep in their hearts, and neither knew who had fallen first.
As graduation approached, Chen Che still received love letters. Since everyone knew he was cold and a bit of a jerk, his admirers passed their letters to Chen Nuanxing to give to him.
One muggy summer afternoon, Chen Nuanxing held several letters in her hand. The pink and purple stationery still carried the girls' perfume. She irritably stuffed them all into his desk without even looking up and said coldly:
"I don't want to be a mail carrier."
Chen Che said nothing. He obediently murmured, "Oh," then went looking for each girl, following the names signed on the letters. The entire high school went into an uproar.
All because he said the same thing to every girl who had written him a love letter:
"Don't waste your time on me. My family is strict, and my girlfriend is a jealous type. She said she doesn't want to be a mail carrier..."
Chen Nuanxing really showed Chen Che what she was capable of after they graduated from high school. She accepted his confession one day, then vanished into thin air the next. Her last text said they were breaking up. No reason, no chance to talk. She was ruthless.
They met again five years later. Chen Nuanxing had earned a master's degree overseas at an Ivy League school and returned to China for an interview she'd long wanted. Chen Che was the interviewer in the center seat, his expression dark as he held the flimsy single-page resume. It listed five years of her life in which he had played no part.
"Chen Nuanxing, you really are something."
Theme: Be brave enough to pursue love.
The finale is the penultimate one, and the penultimate one is the pressure platform.
Open the next book "Wind Sand Stars", please collect it The cool and sinister CEO x the gentle and tough little white flower Reunion The first time Chen Nuan met Lin Che was during the first sandstorm after the spring in Eastern Mongolia. The wind and sand were charming, and Chen Nuan's bicycle rear-ended a black Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the school. She ignored the dull pain coming from her calf, only feeling afraid: "Oops, the car behind you is entirely responsible for the rear-end collision. Isn't this car expensive?" But she didn't know that this was a non-motorized lane and she was the victim. The driver got out of the car first to check. He was wearing a black suit, which made Chen Nuan think he was the boss. He carefully apologized first: "It was windy, I didn't pay attention, I will pay for your car repair money..." The rear door opened, and a young man as clear as water got out, with a relaxed and lazy expression. Chen Nuan looked up at him with only one thought: He doesn't belong here, he's too clear. But as soon as the young man opened his mouth, all the beautiful illusions were shattered: "You want to blackmail someone?" Later, on the midsummer night after her senior year of high school graduation, under the bright starry sky in the desert, everyone around the campfire asked Lin Che how she caught up with Chen Nuan. Lin Che raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "She chased me." Everyone was amazed, Chen Nuan lowered her head shyly, and Lin Che changed her words: "Just kidding." "Actually, she was brought here by the strong wind." Eighteen-year-old Chen Nuan, after sitting on a hard green leather train seat all night, her legs were swollen and uncomfortable. But the corner of his mouth is smiling From time to time, pinch the hard-shell courier bag containing the admission notice. Those are the wings that took her eighteen years to grow. She told herself harshly—— "I will never return to this windy and sandy town in Mengdong again in my life." She took out her phone and deleted all Lin Che's contact information and the last text message he sent—— "I don't agree to break up" We met again at the Nancheng Lin Group's school recruitment interview. Chen Nuan defeated hundreds of competitors and made it to the final round. Lin Che was sitting in the middle of the interview seat. She was the new president of the Lin Group who was aloof, dignified and cold. He lowered his head and frowned as he looked through Chen Nuan's resume. He never knew about those four years. He raised his eyes and asked coldly: "Ms. Chen has a great resume and a good family background. How can she still have money to study abroad?" Chen Nuan was stung, but still answered calmly: "The overseas exchange places provided by the school are publicly funded. My family background... I don't have much family background." "Oh..." Lin Che casually threw Chen Nuan's resume on the table and asked again: "Why did you choose Nancheng? It says that Miss Chen is from Mengdong." Four years later, she has lost her youthfulness and is no longer the shy little girl. There was a stubbornness in her eyes that he had never seen before, and seeing the person she couldn't let go of for four years after so many years made Lin Che feel a little lucky in her heart - was she coming for him? "Because there is no wind in Nancheng." Chen Nuan replied calmly. He was unwilling to give in and continued to ask: "How many relationships has Miss Chen had?" "Sorry, I choose not to answer when it involves my privacy." "The main job content of the position that Ms. Chen is applying for is to plan a honeymoon trip for newlyweds. If you have no relationship experience, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be qualified..." Lin Che stood on the table with her hands crossed, staring with interest at the ex-girlfriend who dumped her four years ago. "Nine-dan, I can't remember clearly." Chen Nuan stopped avoiding and faced him with shining eyes. Lin Che tightened her hand a little, pretending not to care and responded: "Next one." It's spring again, and strong winds blow as usual in eastern Mongolia It's just that in recent years of environmental control, there have been no more sandstorms. Chen Nuan didn't expect that Mengdong, who had vowed never to come back in this life, would come back. Chen Nuan looked at the clear blue sky washed by the cold wind, as clean as the eyes of the man next to him. Just like his name - Lin Che. She nestled in his arms and pulled off the military coat covering her body, covering Lin Che's shoulders as well. Two people were lying in the back of a pickup truck, staring at the blue sky in a daze. "Tell you a story, do you want to listen?" Lin Che turned to look at Chen Nuan, lowered her head and kissed her gently on the forehead: "What story?" "The story of why I had to break up with you in the first place." After the wind and sand have blown away, what remains are the young man's beautiful and clear eyes. In those eyes, there was only her
