I Went Viral After Getting Back Together with My Rich Ex

[Upcoming novels: The Chief Councillor Is Far Too Tempting [Male Pregnancy] and The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years Is Truly Beautiful. Their blurbs are at the very bottom!]

Jiang Chen was once named one of the entertainment industry's Ten Most Promising Actors, thanks to his exceptional talent in both the performing arts and music. But after refusing to submit to unspoken rules, he was blacklisted and could only make a living performing in small venues.

One day, after a performance, he received an expensive gift backstage.

When he recognized the familiar handwriting on it, he tossed it into a roadside trash can with red eyes, amid the envious gazes of everyone around him.

Beneath the dim streetlights, he saw his first love, who had vanished five years ago, appear before him again.

Without a moment's hesitation, he ignored the gaze fixed on him from behind and turned to leave.

Yu Mu became the sole heir to the Yu Group at a young age. People said he was decisive and ruthless, had never been involved in a single scandal, and was so calm and restrained that he seemed almost inhuman.

Until a video like this began circulating online

In the video, a man in a suit emanated an imposing aura, with a strikingly elegant young man beside him. The man suddenly stopped, slowly crouched in front of the young man, and tied his undone shoelace. His expression was gentle and composed, and his movements meticulous.

Online gossipers quickly recognized the man tying the shoelace as Yu Mu, and the exceptionally handsome young man as Jiang Chen, an actor from a tiny studio.

The video sent shockwaves through the internet, and endless speculation about the relationship between the two spread online.

#Yu Group heir humbles himself to win back his old flame#

#The two were classmates in high school#

#So this is the power of a first love#

People in business circles were unconvinced. What first love? It was just a game played with money, a sugar daddy and his kept lover.

Then a post on a forum went viral

A meticulous netizen compiled a list of the subsidiaries recently acquired by the Yu Group over the past year.

They discovered that more than a hundred entertainment subsidiaries had all been registered on July 21.

Every one of their names included the character Chen.

And July 21 was Jiang Chen's birthday!

How was this being kept? It was clearly a declaration of love, five years late!

Upcoming Novel 1

The Chief Councillor Is Far Too Tempting [Male Pregnancy]:

Shen Qingyu, chief councillor of the Great Tang, held immense power and status. Proud and frosty, he had always held himself to the strictest standards and never done anything improper.

Except for the night he was ordered to suppress bandits. A scoundrel drugged and framed him, forcing him to spend the night with a thug. When he woke afterward, the thug was nowhere to be seen. The usually dignified and self-controlled Chief Councillor Shen cursed for the first time in his life, vowing to kill the shameless scoundrel!

Months later, in a lightless prison, he saw the thug who had assaulted him again.

Shen Qingyu curled his lips into a cold smile. With the moonlight shining like frost, he wiped down his sword and held it to the man's throat, speaking one word at a time:

"This time, you're dead."

The man, a blade of grass in his mouth, was tall and broad-shouldered. He lounged bonelessly on the straw mat on the floor, his lifted eyes as bright as if they had been washed in water. He smiled without a hint of fear:

"What, planning to murder your husband? I did save your life, after all."

Shen Qingyu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said coldly:

"Sharp tongue. Once tonight is over, your days are numbered."

But his words soon came back to bite him: the thug was rescued and disappeared without a trace once more.

/

Snow fell over the capital for three months. The poor and incorruptible Chief Councillor Shen was sentenced to death by the emperor for colluding with rebels. His execution was set for noon.

As the executioner's blade fell, countless scenes flashed through Shen Qingyu's mind: family, friends, and yet, of all things, the image that stood out most was that pair of clear, pristine eyes from the prison that day.

The pain he expected never came. Instead, a familiar voice sounded in his ear:

"With this prince here, who dares lay a hand on him?"

Shen Qingyu looked up at the newcomer. Tall and dressed in luxurious fur, the man had an air of noble elegance. Amid the swirling snow, he reached out to Shen Qingyu, smiling as irreverently as ever:

"I've come to take you home, my prince consort."

Shen Qingyu stared in disbelief. The bandit thug who had taken liberties with him that day had somehow become a prince.

Lu Zheng'an had spent eighteen years as a carefree idler. By nature, he loved freedom, so when the old emperor found him and said he wanted to bring him back to the palace, he dismissed the idea with contempt. Sorry, but he had no interest in pretending to be a loving father and filial son with the old man who had abandoned him.

Until news arrived that Shen Qingyu, the man he'd spent a wild night with, was about to be executed.

Lu Zheng'an went to the old emperor. "I'll become a prince, but only if you let me marry a man."

The old emperor was stunned. "Who?"

Lu Zheng'an smiled. "The Great Tang's Chief Councillor, Shen Qingyu."

He couldn't help it. The Chief Councillor was simply too tempting.

Upcoming Novel 2

The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years Is Truly Beautiful:

[Ruthless, insane, beautiful, real-eunuch recipient] VS. [A loyal, patient, taciturn general who is devoted only to the recipient]

Fu Yandeng is the hated, treacherous minister of the Great Sui dynasty. He commands both the Eastern and Western Depots and holds power over the entire realm. He's ruthless in his dealings and wickedly violent by nature. Plenty of people at court would love to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Chief among them is the upright, loyal, and brilliant general Song Chen.

Someone once saw General Song corner that treacherous minister against a wall in private and scold him loudly. His anguished, impassioned manner was truly a model for us all!

Yet somehow, rumors about the two began circulating at court.

Some said the general had fallen deeply in love with the wicked eunuch and that the two had once shared a brief affair!

Others said the wicked eunuch had drugged and seduced him, and the general had fallen for the trick!

The rumors reached the emperor, who already harbored suspicions about Fu Yandeng. In front of all the officials, he asked the general, "Is there any truth to this?"

The burly man clenched his fists and glanced at the slender figure beside him, standing tall and graceful as snow. His gaze was heavy as he answered solemnly, "Your Majesty, it is true."

The court erupted.

The emperor gritted his teeth and pressed him again, hinting at the consequences: "Song Chen, think carefully before you answer!"

All the officials stared, pointing fingers at the treacherous minister who remained as unmoving as a mountain.

Then, with a thunderous crash, the tall man dropped to his knees in the Hall of Martial Peace and declared something that shook the court: "Your servant loves Lord Fu. I will marry no one but him in this life!"

After the court session, an unexpected guest arrived at Song Chen's home.

Dressed in white, with black hair smooth as satin, the man was breathtakingly beautiful. A carefree smile played on his face. "I had no idea you felt that way about me."

Perhaps amused by Song Chen's silence, he moved closer, his tone suggestive. "Or was it all an act when I drugged you that night and you pretended to be out of your mind?"

But before he could finish, Song Chen flipped him onto the bed and kissed him:

"I pretended not to be in my right mind, but everything I said in the hall was true."

Fu Yandeng smiled, patted his cheek, and pushed his head down with one hand:

"If you want to be my dog, learn how to serve your master first."

Later, Fu Yandeng asked Song Chen:

"Why did you say in the hall that you would marry no one but me? As far as I know, you're not some mindless lovesick fool, General Song."

Behind him, the man looked at him with eyes like stars. "I only wanted to tell everyone that in this court, I'm your backing, your blade and your edge. Anyone who dares bully you had better think twice."

Fu Yandeng was silent for a long time, then gave an inscrutable smile. "I'm the mighty Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years. Do I look like I need anyone to protect me? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard."

The man brushed the snow from his brow. "Yes, you're always formidable. No one can bully you."

That night, snow blanketed the ground. The northern wind was bitterly cold, and the pedestrians along the road bundled themselves tightly in their straw rain capes.

No one noticed the glimmer of light flowing through those cold eyes.

Just like when Song Chen first saw him.
