A Journey Through Mountains, Seas, and Stars [Showbiz]

A stubborn female host who pretends to be insincere VS a cool, aloof male singer who says one thing and means another

Shen Xingzhi became a top-tier star overnight. He has stayed popular for ten years without a single scandal, cool and aloof, seemingly careless, yet blessed with both looks and talent.

Ren Limeng, an unknown host on the agricultural channel, went to great lengths to land a spot on a major platform’s S+ competitive travel variety show and transform her career. On the very first day of filming, she ran into Shen Xingzhi, the idol she had secretly loved for years but could never have.

On set, Shen Xingzhi walked past Ren Limeng and sat down indifferently. His coldness was just like back in college. Back then, she had been full of passion, joining clubs to pursue him, diligently studying hosting, and trying every possible way to get close. All she ever got in return was a faint, polite nod from his impassive face.

Even after their whirlwind marriage and divorce, all Ren Limeng could ever see was Shen Xingzhi’s sharply defined, indifferent profile. His crisp, cool bearing still made her heart flutter, but his coldness had finally brought her to her senses.

When they met again, they were strangers. Ren Limeng focused wholeheartedly on transforming her career as a host, but one man refused to let the past go. During team selection, amid all the glittering stars, he domineeringly picked Ren Limeng, who was supposed to be nothing more than a background extra throughout the show. Then he shamelessly chased after her to fuel their CP rumors, pushing his luck at every turn.

“Limeng, wouldn’t it be nice if we made this fake relationship real?”

In a dark alley late at night, Shen Xingzhi grabbed Ren Limeng, leaving her nowhere to retreat. With gentle yet forceful fingers beneath her chin, he made her look into his burning, deep-set eyes. His gaze claimed every inch of her, no longer refined and distant.

“Shen Xingzhi, you’ve crossed the line.”

Ren Limeng gave him a faintly amused look. This was all an act, and she wouldn’t let his game of love make her repeat the same mistakes.

But after she warned him not to cross the line, things only got stranger.

At a noisy dinner table, Shen Xingzhi lifted his eyes slightly. “I’m pursuing her.” Through the shifting crowd, his deep eyes fixed on Ren Limeng. A captivating smile crept into his cool features, tender yet dangerous.

Back at Ren Limeng’s alma mater, Shen Xingzhi lowered his head obediently. “Teacher, Limeng is so cruel to me.” His pitiful complaint carried the depth of a love he had suppressed for years.

Beneath the dim moonlight, Shen Xingzhi’s low voice brimmed with burning magic. “I only want you.” His dark eyes were as deep as an abyss. He leaned in and kissed her, giving her no chance to refuse, wanting to consume every last breath Ren Limeng had.

In front of the cameras and behind the scenes, Ren Limeng tried to ignore Shen Xingzhi’s predatory gaze. Smiling sweetly, she said with calm resolve, “I belong to myself, and no one else.”

“Then... I belong to you.”

His hoarse voice was fragile and seductive. As their breaths mingled again and again, only irresistible passion and reckless, all-consuming desire remained.

Ren Limeng: From hopeless romantic to career woman.

Shen Xingzhi: From career man to hopeless romantic.

My newly completed campus romance, My Heart-Fluttering Crush Is My Senior, is a sweet little story about graduate-school love. Please give it a look if you happen to come across it!

The summer before her first year of graduate school, Gu Zhao’s chosen advisor paired her with Shao Yi, a doctoral student and senior in the same research group. The long list of literature and papers her advisor sent left Gu Zhao in a surprisingly cheerful state. Her only thing to look forward to each day was chatting with and asking questions of her cool yet adorably absent-minded senior, Shao Yi.

On the day she returned to campus for the new semester, Gu Zhao went to a research group meeting. She arrived early, hoping to claim a seat at the back, already looking forward to finally meeting her beloved senior and gazing into her eyes hand in hand.

To her surprise, the first person to catch her eye as she walked in wasn’t her senior, but her crush. After twenty-three years of being single, Gu Zhao felt her heart flutter for the first time.

The cool guy in the front row was so ridiculously handsome that Gu Zhao couldn’t take her eyes off him. She even instantly forgot all about her beloved senior, her legs carrying her over to sit quietly behind him.

Gu Zhao: Senior, senior, have you arrived yet? I can’t believe there’s a handsome guy in our literature department! (*^ω^*)

Gu Zhao: Secret photo of the handsome guy’s profile and the back of his head.jpg

Gu Zhao: Senior, do you know this handsome guy?

Gu Zhao: I think I’ve found my crush (*/ω\*)

Gu Zhao: A crush is a crush. Even the back of his head is so perfectly shaped!

Gu Zhao was swept up in excitement, grinning foolishly as she shared the “good news” with her senior. Then she suddenly heard a series of vibrations from the phone on the desk in front of her.

Gu Zhao looked up instinctively. The perfect back of a head suddenly turned into an even more mouthwatering handsome face.

As they stared at each other in silence, before Gu Zhao could wipe the smile off her face, she heard the handsome guy ask in a teasing voice, “Junior, you like... the back of my head?”
