The Movie Emperor’s Childhood Friend Is Sick Again

Rekindled romance + mutual secret crush + marriage first, love later + showbiz

Flamboyant, aloof, cool top-tier star and award-winning actor x energetic, sharp-tongued, down-on-her-luck heiress

Three years ago, the Shi Group went bankrupt. Shi Nian, its only daughter, had just gotten off the plane and hadn't even reached home when she was told the house had been seized by the court.

All that was left at the door was a letter, written in crooked handwriting: I, Lu Xing, together with Shi Hao, have arranged a childhood betrothal between my son, Lu Xuexi, and Shi Nian. This letter serves as proof. February 1, 19XX.

Shi Nian: ...

Who wants to marry that peacock, Lu Xuexi?!

They were childhood friends, but the kind who got along terribly. They'd been at each other's throats since they were kids.

Once, during their worst fight, Lu Xuexi cornered her in a school hallway, an amused smile on his sharply defined face.

"I have fans now. Are you jealous?"

To prove she wasn't, Shi Nian hopped on a plane to the US to study the very next day.

When they met again, Lu Xuexi had become the youngest top-tier star and award-winning actor, while Shi Nian's family had fallen on hard times. She stood in the rain with two suitcases, trying to hail a car.

A flashy pink Bugatti pulled up in front of her.

The window slowly rolled down, revealing Lu Xuexi's strikingly handsome face.

"Get in."

Later, one night, a seller suddenly appeared on a secondhand marketplace.

Using Lu Xuexi's name, they were selling all kinds of "merch" at bargain prices.

A necklace from Lu Xuexi, a sports car from Lu Xuexi, a watch from Lu Xuexi...

His fans lashed out: "So desperate to make money that you have to use our brother's name? Scammer!"

But then Lu Xuexi logged in with his private account and bought up every last item.

His caption read: The buyer requests an in-person transaction.

While the fans waited for the "scammer" to get exposed, Shi Nian was cornered in a dressing room at a press conference. Lu Xuexi lifted her onto the table, his eyes smiling and his voice husky. "Why'd you sell everything else, but not that ring? Couldn't bear to part with it?"

Shi Nian blushed and insisted, "I could!"

As she spoke, she took off the ring and went to throw it out the window.

Lu Xuexi grabbed her hand, his warm breath brushing her neck. "I couldn't bear to part with it."
