The Top Actor Is My Biggest Fan

[It's Probably a Sticky, Gooey Rice Mochi]

Ye Zhijie entered show business at fifteen and hit his peak with his debut. He stayed hugely popular for ten solid years, winning countless fans.

At twenty-five, he angered a certain executive, and scandalous rumors flooded the internet. Every one of his upcoming dramas was pulled, and he was completely blacklisted from the industry.

A failed investment agreement left him bankrupt.

In the third year of his ban from the industry, someone suddenly approached him to star in a movie. The upside was that he could receive his payment in advance, and he desperately needed money to pay for a family member's treatment. The downside was that the script was about a same-sex relationship, and his co-star was a hugely popular award-winning actor.

...I'd have to be crazy to take this role! Won't his fans tear me apart and offer my head as a sacrifice?!

He signed the contract and pressed his thumbprint.

He wasn't crazy. He was just broke.

When they met on set, the award-winning actor was breathtakingly handsome, refined, and courteous.

As Ye Zhijie greeted him cautiously, he tried to reassure himself: Great! He's handsome! And young! At least I won't lose out when we kiss!

Then he was kissed unconscious during their very first kissing scene, and the director mercilessly mocked his lung capacity.

Ye Zhijie blushed, mortified, and searched everywhere for ways to improve his lung capacity. But then the other man showed up at his door without warning.

"Teacher Ye, you don't have a girlfriend?"

"Seems like Teacher Ye could use someone to practice kissing with."

"Teacher Ye is always so dedicated to his work. Surely you wouldn't want to hold up the whole production because of yourself?"

Later, their affair was exposed, and public opinion came crashing down. Ye Zhijie climbed out of bed, leaving the other man behind, then ducked his head and dodged the fans and reporters who had rushed over after hearing the news. Holding up a microphone and his phone, he stammered in a panic:

I don't know what happened either! At first, we really were just practicing kissing... I don't understand why we woke up in the same bed!

Meanwhile, Shen Shizhuo tagged him from his verified account: It's early in the morning. Where did you run off to?

A bottom who's terrified of someone catching them in the act X a top who's prepared for every possible situation

The top is absolutely smitten. The moment he sees the bottom, he's already picked out their kid's name (doge face).
