Is the Top-Tier Star's Secret Lover Really Me?

Lin Suyue is back at the top of the trending searches, a week after rumors of rigging at a singing competition forced him to withdraw from the contest. At the moment, Lin Suyue is relaxing in his livestream, watching his fans and antis fight in the comments. [Have you seen the trending topic? An Rui was worried about you after your incident, and that’s why he was in a bad mood and performed poorly, losing to that foreigner!] Lin Suyue smiles. "If I hadn’t had an incident, would An Rui have made it through?" [What are you implying? An Rui is the most beloved junior of Shen Zhou, a top-tier star. You dare to slander him? Aren’t you afraid Shen Zhou will force you to quit the industry?] Lin Suyue nods. "I wouldn’t mind quitting, but if you take advantage of this to stir things up and get your idol promoted, you’ll be next." "If I’ve got dirt on An Rui, I’ve got dirt on the whole entertainment industry. That includes your idol, of course." Lin Suyue does exactly as he says. Whichever star’s fans make the biggest fuss and attack him the most will find themselves named by the King of Hell the next day. He drops recordings and videos in one go, burying them for good. Soon, everyone is terrified to make trouble with him. Ordinary viewers, however, are delighted. [Same time next Thursday! We’ll help you deal with his fans. Drop the dirt on whoever gets the most likes!] But when everyone waits eagerly for Thursday, they only get the story that came in second in likes. Because the most-liked story is about Lin Suyue being unfairly forced to withdraw after getting smeared. Everyone has finally realized that only he can beat the most formidable foreign competitor, and they’re begging him to return to the competition. The other story is that top-tier star Shen Zhou may be in a relationship. The internet explodes again. Some are curious about who Shen Zhou is dating, while others say Lin Suyue left the industry after offending Shen Zhou by exposing dirt on his beloved junior. So, has he finally found someone he doesn’t dare expose? It’s not that dramatic. Lin Suyue just really doesn’t want to see Shen Zhou. But the viewers have sent him so many gifts that he’s taken in a fortune, so he has no choice but to go stake Shen Zhou out. Sure enough, he spots a name engraved on the ring Shen Zhou is wearing! The livestream viewers admire Lin Suyue’s courage and urge him to get closer to see whose name is engraved on it. But Lin Suyue, who was just praised for his courage, now hides behind a tree, holding his breath and not daring to speak. It’s not only because Shen Zhou seems to have noticed someone behind him. Lin Suyue has just realized that the ring Shen Zhou is wearing is the matching ring he threw away, the one engraved with his own name. - Both are tops, entertainment-industry story, not based on real life [Coming next] Celebrating Our Rival’s Downfall launches soon. Please add it to your collection~ Xia Shu is enthusiastically watching his fans and those of his rival Jiang Lian tear into each other online. Though the two are rivals with similar popularity, Xia Shu’s reputation is much worse than Jiang Lian’s. People mostly lament that he wastes his beautiful voice singing those generic pop songs. Of course, even more people scold him for having a rich family but still choosing to make quick money this way. Xia Shu himself doesn’t care. Even if the songs are bad, every one he sings becomes a hit. Jiang Lian, on the other hand, is the picture of classical respectability, a violin prodigy by popular acclaim and a regular performer at top concert halls. Jiang Lian plainly looks down on Xia Shu’s lowbrow style, and Xia Shu’s fans have always felt they were a cut below Jiang Lian’s. But now, Xia Shu is pleased to discover that his fans have just barely won the round. They’ve dug up the fact that Jiang Lian had a romance back in school, was cruelly dumped, and waited outside the other person’s building all night in the cold. Netizens are all stunned. [Jiang Lian, that cool and seemingly emotionless guy, has dated someone before? No, I refuse to accept it!] [Who could make the great ice mountain so humble for love?] [What kind of incredible person was it? Is Jiang Lian so cold and closed off now because he was hurt too badly? Please give us back our warm-hearted Jiang!] Meanwhile, Xia Shu’s Weibo is full of celebration. Xia Shu: "Hahaha, let’s celebrate our rival’s downfall!" "No idea. I didn’t do anything, he just collapsed on his own." "Come get the same career luck. Your rival can go down just as painlessly." After celebrating, Xia Shu switches to his alt account and replies to a comment saying Jiang Lian is warm-hearted: "Warm-hearted my ass. You have no idea how twisted he is!" "Who cruelly dumped him? No one even said it was a romance. He was just acting pitiful, and you all actually believed him?" Only after venting does he realize something is wrong. Why is his alt account, with only a dozen followers, suddenly getting so many replies? When Xia Shu looks up, his vision goes black. He failed to switch accounts! Netizens are all stunned. [??] [You two actually...] [Are you saying you’re the one who dumped our ice-cold Jiang and left him waiting outside all night?] [Hahaha, celebrating? If this is true, haven’t you both fallen from grace?] [Bonus scene] After failing to switch accounts and nearly exposing himself, Xia Shu rushes to do damage control. His studio posts a clarification saying, "The account was hacked. Don’t believe the false information." Unexpectedly, just after the statement goes up, Jiang Lian responds at almost the same time. Jiang Lian reposts Xia Shu’s words, "No one even said it was a romance," and asks in a voice cold as frost: "Then who were you dating back then?" [Coming soon] The Hated Fake Young Master Decides to Fake His Death Su Yu has always known he’s the fake young master who stole someone else’s place. But his older brother, Shen Jiqing, raised him from childhood. He is sharp and ruthless to everyone else, but shows Su Yu plenty of care. So what if he’s a fake young master? Su Yu naively believes that after all these years together, there must be affection between them, just as he feels for his brother. So when the real young master is found, Su Yu dares to cling to his brother and ask for a kiss right in front of him. But he never expects his brother to react so strongly, angrily shoving him away. As everyone around them celebrates the real young master’s return, Su Yu is left all alone, locked in a storage room by the real young master. Still, he instinctively calls for his brother, hoping he’ll come to his defense. The real young master’s sidekick laughs at him, saying that Shen Jiqing resents him for delaying the search for the real young master, and could never come to save him. The real young master also looks smug. "Big Brother won’t come. He’s busy preparing the most lavish welcome banquet for me." Then the door shuts, plunging the room into darkness. Su Yu has been afraid of the dark since childhood. Trembling, he backs away, but all around him is silent. The main character has officially returned, and he is just a disposable side character forgotten in a corner. The next moment, a "Side Character Rescue System" comes online in his mind. The System tells Su Yu that after discovering his brother has given all his love to the real young master, he will turn evil and target him, even tampering with the real young master’s paternity test results. In the end, everyone will despise him, and he’ll die. So it’s true? His brother will give all his love to someone else? And he’s just a side character everyone despises? Afraid that he might lose control and do something irreversible, the System soon sends someone who transmigrates into Su Yu’s body to help put the plot back on track. Su Yu floats in the air, watching the transmigrator take his place: going to boarding school alone and no longer clinging to his brother, giving up his special place at home to the real young master, and even, after accidentally breaking a cup, stepping in front of the real young master because he’s afraid his brother will think he hurt him. The broken glass cuts Su Yu’s hand, and blood spills all over the floor. Shen Jiqing rushes over with a dark expression to bandage his hand, but his gaze is cold and unfamiliar, entirely devoid of emotion. Only then does Su Yu finally believe that his brother really does hate him. - Thanks to the transmigrator’s intervention, the plot has mostly stabilized, but it’ll take more time to settle completely. So the System asks Su Yu if he’s willing to transmigrate somewhere else and help out a side character there. Su Yu thinks for a moment, then nods. His brother has the real young master now, so he, the one who took someone else’s place, really should leave. He tries transmigrating, and it feels pretty good. The brother over there is kind and treats him well. Su Yu thinks it’s time to say goodbye to the past and try living a new life. But sometimes he feels like someone is following him. Maybe it’s just an illusion because he hasn’t gotten used to being in someone else’s body. Before he leaves, the System asks him to return and take one last look at his brother. Recently, the transmigrator told him that the plot here is stable. For some reason, the real young master has been sent away, and although things between Su Yu and his brother are distant, they’re still harmonious. The conflict in the original storyline has been successfully avoided. Su Yu transmigrates back into his own body, and when he looks up, he sees Shen Jiqing. Instead of clinging to his brother and acting spoiled like he used to, he is about to imitate the transmigrator and politely call out to him from a distance. The moment their eyes meet, Shen Jiqing’s gaze turns sharp. With bloodshot eyes, he grabs Su Yu’s wrist and pins him against the wall. "You’re back?" "Try leaving again, and see what happens." - Both are tops, a little melodramatic and angsty, but please trust that this is supposed to be a sweet romance?? - The love interest and the protagonist are never registered in the same household Theme: Move forward bravely
