The Sickly Beauty Decides to Give Her Ex Another Chance

At the bar, the lights were hazy and the crowd was full of big shots. Onstage, the young man's waist swayed supplely, his long lashes casting shadows over his eyes. He was like exquisite, cool porcelain, impossibly beautiful. Every dance was so alluring that people wanted nothing more than to grab his slender waist. Trending on Weibo: [Li Xing spotted at an upscale private club?] "Is that Li Xing? Aaaah! My god!" "Can't believe a top-tier star has fallen this low!" "Wasn't he supposed to be the aloof, untouchable type? Wasn't he so above it all?" "A pretty waste of space. He hasn't had a role in three years." "He's in poor health. So what if he doesn't take any roles?" "He used to be famous too. Don't mock a fallen star!" That same day, at the Berlin International Film Festival, top-tier star and rising young actor... Zhou Qingyu became the youngest actor in the Chinese entertainment industry to win the Best Actor award in nearly a decade. That same year, he also founded his own film and television company, transforming himself into a power player. On the day of the festival, one of his rivals released an old photo of a kiss. It had been taken years ago, in the dressing room backstage at one of Li Xing's concerts. In less than half a night, it set fandom circles ablaze: "Zhou Qingyu and Li Xing? No way, right?!" "Aren't they rivals?! Kings who never share the stage!!!" "That washed-up idol doesn't deserve to be rivals with a Berlin Best Actor anymore." "For the record: Zhou Qingyu and that washed-up idol have never appeared together! They have no connection! They don't know each other!!!" A marketing account figured out what would get clicks and volunteered to debunk the rumors: "They've never touched! He's never been in the dressing room! Stop clout-chasing off the Best Actor, please!!!" More than 7,000 kilometers away in Berlin, Zhou Qingyu was scrolling through Weibo. A moment later, the young man in a suit, wild and roguish to the core, posted a single sentence from his official account: "I've touched him. He's mine." Several months later, at a film studio back home, Zhou Qingyu roughly pinned Li Xing against the dressing-room door. "How many days are you going to keep me from touching you? Hm? Li Xing, you're really something." Still in makeup, the ethereal young man said nothing, letting the other's long fingers tug at his waist. Then he shot him a look. The wild, unruly Best Actor immediately turned into an obedient puppy, tentatively planting a doting kiss on the corner of the young man's lips. Li Xing crooked a finger. Zhou Qingyu's burning kiss came down on him. Both pure | Sickly beauty | Sexual tension | Intense push and pull A preview of my next book: Sickly Beauty Makes a Comeback While Pregnant The little star Jing Chen was impossibly beautiful, cool, and ethereal. But he was cold, frail, and had heart disease. He was out of breath every few steps. His career was at a low point, and his group had disbanded. After a fashion gala, he accidentally spent the night with his ex-boyfriend of three years, Sheng Yunsi. Sheng Yunsi used to be an actor and a Best Actor. Three years ago, he abruptly left the entertainment industry to inherit the family business. In an instant, he became the fourth young master and heir to the Sheng family, owners of a globally renowned luxury fashion conglomerate. Rumor had it the fourth young master of the Sheng family was a spoiled playboy, wild and unruly, a troublemaker who liked to fool around. Even after spending one night with his ex, three years after their breakup, Jing Chen had no intention of getting back together with him. When the fourth young master of the Sheng family offered him resources and opportunities, Jing Chen would rather take a job as an NPC at an amusement park and make his own way back into the industry. After fainting for the Nth time at the amusement park in the sweltering heat, Jing Chen was taken to the hospital, where he discovered he was pregnant. But Jing Chen had cut off all contact with Sheng Yunsi. Two months later, major news came from the Sheng family's official website: all their former spokespersons had been let go. Fans across the entertainment industry were stunned: "That's the third full set of contract termination announcements this month!" "Haha, the copywriting's gotten so polished, it hurts." "Those spokespersons already had plenty of scandals..." "It's just the new boss taking over and a change in power, that's all." A month later, Jing Chen received an offer from the Sheng family's luxury brand to become its sole global ambassador. One day, backstage at an awards gala, Jing Chen said coldly: "Sheng Yunsi, you're just my client." As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yunsi forcefully pinned him against the dressing-room door. Then a burning palm settled over the slight bump beneath Jing Chen's oversized coat. Sheng Yunsi: "Then whose is this, hm?" All my stories are 1v1, with both leads pure.
