The Cold Movie Emperor’s Wild Canary

Fei Ye had a baby face, but he didn't skimp on piercings or tattoos. Paired with a fellow newcomer for a ship, he seemed poised to shoot to fame.

Then he was photographed entering and leaving a hotel with superstar actor Jin Shihan, becoming the only rumored romantic partner in the aloof heartthrob's ten-year acting career.

Fans on both sides exploded, accusing Fei Ye of two-timing.

While the public's outrage was about to drown him, Fei Ye was barefoot on Jin Shihan's thigh, pointing at his nose and letting loose without a care:

"Jin Shihan, what kind of big brother are you? People say your little brother is sleeping with you, and you can just sit there and take it? Clear things up already. Don't ruin my brilliant career!"

Jin Shihan held his slender, pale ankle, his expression unreadable. After a long moment, he reluctantly let go and coaxed him, "It's my fault. I let my guard down."

Fei Ye was Jin Shihan's precious boy, a mischievous brat who'd climb onto the roof if left alone for three days. Now just past twenty, he'd been raised well by Jin Shihan. Ambitious, he wanted to leave his brother's protection and make a name for himself.

But his brother wouldn't allow it...

Fei Ye signed with an agency and debuted in a ship with a fellow newcomer. Jin Shihan dug through three generations of the other guy's family and found that he'd bullied classmates. He was a man of poor character and unfit company.

Fei Ye auditioned for a new movie and joined the cast. Jin Shihan made a high-profile appearance as a supporting actor, bringing his own investment, and kept his eyes fixed on Fei Ye.

Fed up with being watched, Fei Ye let his rebellious streak take over. He had dinner with the investors and stayed out all night, then sent his brother a message asking for help because he'd been pressured into sex. He waited for Jin Shihan to rush over, just as he'd planned.

The snowy night was cold, but his brother's gaze burned like fire.

Like when Fei Ye was a child, Jin Shihan grabbed him by the back of the neck, his fingers trembling with anger. He snapped, "If you want to climb into someone's bed, I'll let you have your fill. Why go looking for someone else?"

The half-grown boy wore nothing but a bathrobe, its collar hanging open. In a fit of mischief, he wrapped his arms around Jin Shihan's neck and whispered, "Do you dare take me right now? I'll be your lover for the rest of my life."

Jin Shihan's eyes blazed red. He did as Fei Ye wished, pinning him to the bed and kissing him fiercely.

The next morning, Fei Ye clutched his aching backside, unable to get out of bed, and stared in bewilderment. "Wait, you actually did it?!"

Later, a top-tier star and little menace burst onto the entertainment scene. He dared to say anything, feared no one, and had someone to catch him when he fell, so he could run wild without restraint.

The old rumors resurfaced, and the actor's love life trended again:

#Jin Shihan's Lover

#Fei Ye's Sugar Daddy Is Him

#A Transaction of Power and Sex: What Does Fei Ye Have to Offer?

Before Fei Ye could respond, Jin Shihan made a high-profile statement: "He's not my lover. He's the person I love. He earned every honor himself; I won't claim credit for that. But I'll give him the confidence to explore the world."

Jin Shihan had raised this little songbird for years. Only after letting him go did he realize the bird was an ambitious eagle. Jin Shihan had the courage to set him free, and the confidence that the eagle would eventually return to his shoulder.
