My Marriage to a Tycoon Went Viral for All the Wrong Reasons

[Hard-of-hearing CEO x short-tempered top-tier star]

Just as top-tier singer Xia Xinghe was being mocked across the internet as “a closeted gay man selling fake romance and leeching off CP fans,” a bombshell hit the trending topics:

He had married Ruan Chenyu, the head of the Ruan Group.

Xia Xinghe's ideal marriage: play it up in front of the cameras, have nothing to do with each other off-camera, and, most importantly, sleep in separate rooms!

His demands weren't high. He only needed Ruan Chenyu to link arms and act lovey-dovey in front of the cameras, confirming they were married. In return, he would do his duty and play the part of a gentle, considerate partner, dealing with their elders and putting on a good show.

The perfect deal, fair to everyone.

At first, Xia Xinghe was extremely satisfied with his husband in name only: perfect looks, an imposing presence, and an obvious lack of interest in sex. Perfect!

But after a mix-up at a bar where they both mistakenly caught the other cheating, the story began to veer off course...

In front of the cameras, Ruan Chenyu's devotion made Xia Xinghe's heart race.

Off-camera, he went even further:

He would cross a thousand miles to wait by Xia Xinghe's bedside when he had a fever;

He would quietly grow an entire field of endless-summer hydrangeas, just to promise him a long, long summer;

He would take his hand and walk through a crowd, announcing to everyone, “I'll love him well!”

Their supposed separate rooms didn't exist, either.

After being forced to share a bed while filming a show, Xia Xinghe seemed to get hooked. At the same time every day, he'd show up at Ruan Chenyu's door hugging a pillow, saying he couldn't sleep.

What happened to their fake, for-the-cameras couple act?

Why did Xia Xinghe feel like even his heartbeat was such a convincing performance?

Until one late night, Ruan Chenyu trapped him in the entryway.

The man's voice was hoarse, his breath hot. “Xia Xinghe, my body reacts to you.”

Xia Xinghe froze for a moment, then understood. He hooked a finger around Ruan Chenyu's tie and smiled, radiant and provocative. “Then let's do it, husband. It's legal.”

Ruan Chenyu had admired a singer for years, but had never had the chance to work with him.

At 26, he wrote a song for the singer, but never got to give it to him.

At 27, he nearly had an accident on the street. The singer argued with someone on his behalf, and the incident made the trending topics.

At 29, the singer came to him of his own accord and asked, “Want to get married?”

“After Being Reborn, My Rival Wants to Seduce Me”

[1]

Ling Xihui felt that his 24 years of life had been a joke. His parents weren't his real parents, and Gu Xun, the rival he'd been at odds with since childhood, turned out to be the real young master of the Ling family. Ling Xihui was nothing but his replacement.

He fought tooth and nail, like a rabid dog trying to bite Gu Xun to death, only to be met with his parents' cold stares and, in the end, thrown out of the house.

The road was slick in the rain. After a car accident, Ling Xihui opened his eyes and found himself back more than a year earlier, shortly after learning he was only Gu Xun's replacement.

Having been reborn, Ling Xihui decided to act sweet and obedient. Before Gu Xun found out about his birth, Ling Xihui would get close to him, then look for a chance to expose his fake facade and show the Ling parents who was truly two-faced and up to no good.

The music in the bar pounded in their ears. His friend grinned, ready for a show. “Don't worry. After tonight, Gu Xun will be ruined.”

Ling Xihui suddenly remembered that in his previous life, this was the night he'd set a trap to frame Gu Xun. He failed to trap him and instead made Gu Xun hold a grudge against him.

He absolutely couldn't make the same mistake twice.

Ling Xihui took off running. By the time he reached the room, it was clearly too late. Gu Xun was flushed all over and trembling, obviously in a bad way.

Ling Xihui thought that if he couldn't save Gu Xun, he shouldn't get himself dragged into it, so he tried to run. But the moment he moved, someone grabbed him from behind and dragged him back.

Gu Xun wrapped his arms tightly around Ling Xihui's waist from behind. Hoarse and red-eyed, he rubbed his head against the back of Ling Xihui's neck and called him, “Xiao Xi.”

Nothing could be worse than spending the first night after being reborn in bed with his rival.

Looking at the trashed room, Ling Xihui wanted to curse the heavens and secretly swore that he'd get a hundredfold payback one day.

Ling Xihui endured the humiliation and stuck to his plan, acting sweet and innocent, playing the white lotus more smoothly each time.

“Brother Gu Xun, you're amazing. How can anyone be so smart?”

“Brother Gu Xun, you're so handsome. I must have been blind before!”

“Brother Gu Xun, you must be tired. I booked a restaurant. Want to have dinner together?”

As he kept calling Gu Xun “Brother Gu Xun,” Ling Xihui didn't notice the look in the other man's eyes growing more and more heated by the day.

Gu Xun schemed at every turn and endured everything, all to reach his moon. Before he could tell Ling Xihui everything, a car accident threw everything into chaos.

Just as he thought he was about to lose Ling Xihui, he opened his eyes and saw his moon again.

The room was dim, the situation urgent. Gu Xun threw his arms around him without hesitation.
