Sorry, We're in an Arranged Marriage

[Gong-centric story, with the shou pursuing the gong and doting on him] He made his debut as a child star at eight, won Best Actor at eighteen, and set off a trending topic at twenty-two by posting his marriage certificate. After the scandal, Shi Wu's career began to decline. He lost a large number of fans, faced more criticism than ever, and had two films awaiting release.

When he was twenty-four, his manager handed him an offer to appear on a celebrity couples' reality show, insisting that he bring along his spouse of two years, whom he'd been living apart from for one year and eight months.

He was just puzzled about why his partner, who had always been polite but distant and seemed perpetually cold, was becoming more and more clingy... While eating, drinking, or memorizing lines, Shi Wu looked down at the arm wrapped around his waist. "...Could you let go?" Instead of letting go, the other person held him even tighter. A moment later, Fu Anshu politely declined. "No." Career-focused gong x love-struck shou [Reader's Guide] 1. Same-sex marriage is legal; they marry first and fall in love later. 2.
