Pretending to Be Poor [Entertainment World]

[A sweet little romance. Updates may not be daily, but it will be completed.]

[Rekindled love, with an ex-boyfriend returning in triumph.]

Seven years ago, Sheng Jiangye kicked Wei Lisen to the curb to become a star.

Seven years later, Wei Lisen returned to China as an award-winning actor, and the trending news about him returning after seven years crushed Sheng Jiangye, who was still an obscure nobody.

Watching the five hundred thousand yuan she'd spent buying a trending topic go down the drain, Sheng Jiangye angrily liked a post by one of Wei Lisen's haters.

Except she was using the wrong account.

She was immediately flamed online and landed at number... two on the trending list.

"You're not even famous, stop riding his coattails!"

"Miss Sheng, don't try to gobble up every meal you see."

Enraged again, Sheng Jiangye posted from her secret identity: Even if I starve to death in this life, I will never drink so much as a drop of Wei Lisen's soup.

Then she switched accounts wrong again.

Sheng Jiangye: May all my secret identities go to hell!!!

After a series of outrageous blunders by Sheng Jiangye, she and Wei Lisen became the internet's most famous "sworn enemies."

Until the two were cast as an ill-fated couple in Nine Provinces.

The whole internet erupted, looking forward to seeing them clash on set.

Then one day,

someone said smugly, "After all these years without making it big, shouldn't you look for the reason in yourself?"

Telling her she wasn't famous!

Sheng Jiangye was furious. "Sorry, I've gone bankrupt. I'm broke, and I can't afford to buy opportunities."

Even if she died, Sheng Jiangye would never admit she couldn't make herself famous.

To her surprise, the man with the icy expression froze.

The next day, a message arrived from a phone number she'd thought long dead: "Come work with me. I've got money and connections."

Sheng Jiangye: Wait, big guy, I was just saying that. You're actually serious?

So, what do you do when your successful ex thinks you're bankrupt and is ready to humiliate you?

Sheng Jiangye: Obviously, I hit him up for a big payout!

When they broke up, he had chosen five million yuan over her without hesitation.

So Sheng Jiangye wore the poor-girl act and moved into someone's mansion, eating his food and using his things.

Later, at an awards ceremony, Wei Lisen unexpectedly announced his retirement from show business.

The host asked, "Mr. Wei, are you retiring because there's a new direction you'd like to explore?"

Wei Lisen nodded with a smile. "Yes. Learning how to make soup."

Everyone in the entertainment industry was puzzled. How was that a new direction?

After the ceremony, Wei Lisen posted:

@Sheng Jiangye, making soup for love.

With a photo of their marriage certificate.

Fans: ???

Netizens: ???

Had they somehow missed a chapter?

Weren't you two sworn enemies who couldn't stand each other?

How could you end up dating?

Pretentious, proud, obscure actress × realist award-winning actor who bends after one moment

Reading Guide: One, the female lead isn't truly kind and virtuous. She's selfish, dramatic, unable to endure hardship, and can't tolerate being wronged.

Two, the male lead is an actor, not an idol. He only loves the female lead and is responsible only to her.

Three, both are chaste, and each other's first love.

Four, this is a fictional world, not reality. Don't project it onto real life.

Five, I can't think of anything else yet. I'll add more if I do. Thanks for adding it to your favorites!

After Becoming the Substitute for the Mad Sword Lord's Deceased Wife

[The original who thinks she's a tragic substitute × the widower who went mad after losing his wife.]

The female lead's perspective: a tragic substitute.

The male lead's perspective: his beloved wife has returned from the dead.

.

Everyone knew that Sword Lord Zhaoze had one great love: his wife, who had been dead for ten years.

Everyone also knew that Guanning was a substitute for the dead wife.

People thought Guanning's life would be full of being grabbed by the throat and yelled at: You're just a substitute! Don't even dream of replacing her. You're not worth a single strand of her hair!

Some schemers even thought Guanning was a vessel the Sword Lord had prepared to bring his dead wife's soul back.

In short, everyone was sure this substitute would meet a bad end.

Guanning: ...

She turned around, and the person everyone called the greatest swordsman of the age was kneeling before her with a basin of hot water. He carefully took off her shoes and socks, then used warm water to soothe every inch of her skin. "The weather's getting colder. Be sure to keep warm."

Looking at him, Guanning suddenly felt mischievous and asked, "Wu Suxue, who do you like more, me or your dead wife?"

The man suddenly froze. His hand tightened around her ankle, his voice frighteningly cold. "Don't ask me that again."

Guanning suddenly felt sad. She thought everyone else was right.

He was only kind to her because she resembled his dead wife.

She was just a substitute. How could she compare to the real thing?

Besides, she was half-demon.

If he found out, he would surely kill her.

.

Later, when the waters of Yinghai flooded back into the mortal world, she transformed into a great demon before Wu Suxue's eyes and used the life-sword he'd given her to pierce his chest.

Guanning thought he would kill her.

What she never expected was that the greatest sword lord of the age would kneel before her, covered in blood.

"A Ning, thank goodness you're a demon."

Haunted by nightmares every night, today I have finally found the cure.

A Ning, I spent my life hunting demons. Now, all I can do is feel grateful that you're a demon.

Ten years ago, Wu Suxue was injured while exterminating demons and was rescued by a mortal woman.

He spent his days and nights with her.

On the day he left, the woman propped her chin in her hand and asked, "Immortal, shouldn't you repay a life-saving favor by marrying me?"

He was not good with words, and he hadn't expected how unpredictable life could be. He made no promises and turned to leave.

After returning to the mountain, he overcame all opposition and prepared a generous bridal gift for her.

But when he returned, her home had become a fire-blackened ruin.

The woman he had planned to marry had already perished in the fire, her soul scattered.

Though they had been strangers by chance, for over a decade afterward he guarded her tomb, imprisoning himself in grief for ten years.

Later, she came back.

She said she wasn't his A Ning.
