[Cool, calculating top-tier star streamer x seemingly spoiled but actually devoted crown prince]
[Possessive pursuit / the powerful one lowers his head / intense push and pull / fictional entertainment industry]
"Shen Yuwei, I suppressed trending topics on three platforms for you. I threw more than a hundred million at it without blinking."
Under the dim lights, the man gripped her ankle, barely able to restrain the red tide in his eyes.
"And you still won't even give me a title?"
Everyone knows Shen Yuwei is the top streamer in S Station's livestreaming section.
Until photos of her kissing her top supporter intimately were exposed, sending the whole internet into an uproar!
While scandals about Shen Yuwei were flying everywhere, the S platform suddenly announced that it was shutting down operations. After it reopened, the head of her anti-fan club grovelled and apologized, clearing things up.
The person behind all this, who was willing to take losses of more than a hundred million just to protect Shen Yuwei, was the crown prince of the S platform, Huo Zhiheng.
But they could hardly be called lovers, let alone partners.
Three years ago, on a snowy night, Shen Yuwei, wrapped in a black coat, knocked on his car window.
She had just ended her five-year relationship with her first love.
The shadow of her ex's infidelity had left her with a severe aversion to physical contact.
It was hardly a dignified first meeting.
But when she stepped into the car, carrying the bitter chill of the winter night, and curled her pale, soft fingertips into his lapel, asking, "Want to give it a try?"...
He inexplicably said yes.
A night of passion.
He was the first to fall in love, and the first to give in.
"You..."
Before he could finish, someone interrupted him.
The woman gathered her long hair with a hair tie, and the faint red mark at the nape of her snow-white neck made his Adam's apple bob.
"You don't have to take responsibility for me."
Later, he saw her on the trending page with her arm linked through a movie star's. At a gala, he saw her holding the hand of a rising star in the industry.
Yet every time she called after midnight, her cool voice was just as it had been back then.
"Same place?"
Every time, Huo Zhiheng swore to himself:
Next time, next time he would absolutely refuse this woman, once and for all!
But when next time came?
There was always another next time.

"You were afraid of ghosts?"
After they got together, Shen Yuwei straddled him, her long hair falling softly against his chest.
"Then why do you always watch my game streams?"
Huo Zhiheng frowned, suddenly rolled over, pinned her beneath the velvet quilt, and bit her earlobe hard.
"I was damn well watching the person in the box at the bottom left!"
# [Bonus Scene 2]
Huo Zhiheng stared blankly at his dark phone screen.
At his birthday party a week ago, he had waited until three in the morning the next day, but she still hadn't wished him a happy birthday.
His custom notification sound suddenly rang:
[Shen Yuwei]: Are you mad?
[Huo Zhiheng]: Yeah.
He withdrew a message.
[Huo Zhiheng]: No.
Reading notes:
1. Cool, calculating top-tier star streamer x seemingly spoiled but actually devoted crown prince.
2. One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced. The heroine has the hero wrapped around her finger. He's afraid of ghosts, but even more afraid of his wife ignoring him. The heroine has dated a few people, but only has an addiction to the hero.
3. Thank you so much for your support! I'm a working stiff and will do my best to update daily! I'm also hopelessly ignorant, so please don't scrutinize the details too closely (weakly)...
Thesis: Love helps people grow together.
