How Did My Entertainment Industry Archrival and I End Up Kissing?

[The Jealousest Good Man Ever: Possessive Top × Sharp-Tongued, Gorgeous, Mischievous Princess Bottom]

Everyone in showbiz knows that Best Actor Chi Jinchuan and top-tier star Yu Li became enemies after a commercial shoot. Ever since, they have been like fire and water.

Until an accident happened during an explosion scene.

.

When Yu Li saw the trending topic “Three-Time Golden Award Best Actor Chi Jinchuan Seriously Injured and Unconscious,” he was drowning in scandals and being told by the entire internet to get out of showbiz.

He decided that before leaving, he would go see his nemesis off.

But when he opened the door, his nemesis was perfectly fine. It was just his brain that was broken.

The moment Chi Jinchuan opened his eyes, a head of flashy pink hair was thrust in front of him.

The hair was bold, and the face beneath it was even bolder.

He could not help frowning. “...Who are you?”

Yu Li studied him for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips. “Your fiance.”

.

Having lost three years of memories, Chi Jinchuan discovered that he had treated this “fiance” terribly.

He had refused to make their relationship public, for one thing, and had even humiliated him in front of everyone.

Had his future self really become a scumbag?

After a long silence, Chi Jinchuan, burdened with guilt, decided to make it up to his fiance a hundredfold. He immediately announced their relationship with great fanfare and signed up for a marriage reality show.

The fans of the two sides, who had been fighting fiercely: ...Is that something a person would say?

Yu Li: ...Is that something a person would say?

Oh no. He'd taken the joke too far.

.

One day, Chi Jinchuan opened his eyes again and paused for a moment as he looked at Yu Li.

Yu Li took a step back, instinctively on guard. “You got your memories back?”

Chi Jinchuan was silent for three seconds. “No.”

Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief and, as usual, leaned in to kiss him. “Love you, hubby~”

Chi Jinchuan did not respond right away.

The next second, a hand clasped the back of Yu Li's neck.

A long kiss fell upon him, deeper and slower than any before, as if Chi Jinchuan were savoring him to make sure.

After a long while, he loosened his hold a little. His eyes were dark, his voice hoarse.

“Little Fish, so well-behaved.”

❶ Sharp-tongued, gorgeous, mischievous princess bottom × cold, taciturn Best Actor top who becomes a loyal puppy-like consort after losing his memories

❷ My take on showbiz. The top is a Best Actor but never films romance scenes.

❸ The bottom is a top-tier singer nicknamed “Princess.” After getting together with him, the top is given the nickname “Consort” by the fans. (Seriously.)

❹ 1v1, both pure, each other's first love. Handsome top and beautiful bottom. Enemies-to-lovers, shamelessly tropey fun.

❺ Fictional setting, no real-life counterparts. The story is entirely fictional. Please don't confuse it with real life.

❻ Chi Yu, 99

On the first day Jin Yuanyuan transmigrated as a doomed fox spirit, he clutched his big tail and trembled.

In the book, he tried to seduce Xiao Su, the protagonist who cultivated the heartless path, and got slapped into a fox-shaped pancake less than half a chapter after appearing.

Before he could figure out how to stay away from the protagonist and save his life, a supporting-character-comeback System bound itself to him and started frantically pushing him to succeed:

[Host! Our goal is to steal the protagonist's scenes! Become the new top-tier star of the cultivation world! Reach the pinnacle of life!]

Not far away, Xiao Su was grievously wounded and near death. It was the perfect chance to strike.

But the young man's fierce black eyes swept over him through a mask, and Jin Yuanyuan blurted out, “B-But if I become his sidekick, I can still get plenty of scenes, right?”

System: [...You're the worst generation I've ever had.]

.

Xiao Su had once been a heaven-blessed prodigy. Then rumors that he possessed an ancient treasure led to him being ambushed. His face was ruined, he fell to rock bottom, and everyone wanted to kick him while he was down.

On that snowy night, gravely wounded and near death, he thought he would rot in this ditch. Then a small golden shape came stumbling toward him.

“If I save you, could you...”

Another person after the treasure.

Xiao Su sneered. Sure enough, all people were equally greedy.

Then the boy's clear voice rang out:

“Let me be your sidekick!”

.

Later

Xiao Su made his name in a great battle, while Jin Yuanyuan waved a little flag and cheered like crazy. “Boss is mighty! Boss is amazing!”

Xiao Su tossed him the precious ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus. “Improve your cultivation. Don't be such a good-for-nothing.”

The entire cultivation world went mad.

Who didn't know that Xiao Su was cold-hearted and ruthless? And yet now he gave treasures that everyone in the cultivation world fought over to a low-level little fox demon every day, like candy?

“That's no sidekick. He's clearly raising a child bride!”

When Jin Yuanyuan heard that, he jumped up on the spot. “Don't talk nonsense! The boss and I have a pure master-and-servant relationship!”

Xiao Su stood behind him, his gaze unreadable.

Jin Yuanyuan cheerfully went about his days, completely oblivious.

Until one day, Xiao Su drove away the Nth cultivator who had been making advances toward him, pinned him against a wall, and said hoarsely, “Don't smile at anyone else.”

Jin Yuanyuan looked confused. “Boss, I'm recruiting talent for you!”

Xiao Su could take no more. He pinched the soft flesh of Jin Yuanyuan's cheek and bit him.

When the kiss ended, Jin Yuanyuan's little face was red, his eyes sparkling. “Boss! Is this a special way to pass on cultivation?!”

Xiao Su: “...”

The System screamed in his mind: [He wants to seduce you! You idiot!]

❶ Timid but clever, adorable sunshine bottom × disfigured, possessive, gloomy ghost-like top

❷ A snarky, long-suffering dad-like System

❸ The top's face is badly burned and hidden behind a mask early on, but heals later. A little masked-man appeal.

❹ The bottom is a little fox with puppy-like traits, innocent-looking but with a succubus body. He has a heat cycle. 1v1, both pure, each other's first love.

📖🌷 Here's a sweet modern romance by a friend: "He Became a Wealthy Family's Male Mom After Cross-Dressing" by Nong Xi

To earn money from cross-dressing, Ruan Su took a high-paying nanny job.

His employer was the powerful head of the illustrious Xie family. The job was simple: discipline his adopted twin sons, who had driven countless professionals away.

On the day of the interview, Xie Chiyan looked over the boy in front of him, who was as pretty as a doll, and handed him a contract. “Take them on a reality show. Make them look elegant, well-behaved, and well-mannered on camera, beyond reproach. If you mess up, you're fired, even if you're a celestial beauty.”

Ruan Su nodded obediently, breathing softly.

Xie Chiyan: “...” What a talent.

As a former top-tier cross-dressing influencer, Ruan Su had no experience disciplining unruly teenagers. At first, the twins really were difficult. The older boy's gaze was cold and scrutinizing, while the younger one's rebelliousness bordered on violent. Ruan Su used no special tricks. He simply took up cross-dressing again, including going to parent-teacher meetings in their place and playing the role of their mother.

He soon had the unruly twins completely under control.

The production crew had planned to present the adopted sons as “textbook examples of wealthy-family heirs,” but the show gradually took an unexpected turn.

The boys certainly learned how to behave, but every eye was fixed on Ruan Su.

Netizens clipped images of Ruan Su patiently helping with homework, gently making soup in the kitchen with an apron on, and smiling helplessly as he straightened the twins' collars. The topics shot straight to the trending list:

#EveryoneOnTheInternetIsStealingMyMaleMom#

#LookAtMyMomLookAtMe#

#WhyDoTheXieTwinsGetSuchAnAmazingMom#

Three months later, Xie Chiyan saw that his study was no longer being trashed, the boys' report cards were starting to show passing grades, they were willingly helping cut fruit in the kitchen, and they returned to their rooms like clockwork at eleven every night. For once, he looked pleased.

The family had never been so harmonious, until he happened to overhear his older son whispering to a friend on the terrace: “I want to take care of him. I want him to stay by my side forever. A University is only the beginning. Once I graduate and get a stable job offer, I'll show my father I can take responsibility for this relationship.”

That night, Xie Chiyan had someone pry open the nanny's room door, only to see a sight that made his breath catch.

His younger son was burying his face in Ruan Su's arms. Ruan Su was wearing a long, pale pink silk dress, and the boy greedily breathed in his scent, wrapping both arms tightly around him. “Mom, you smell so good. I wish you were mine.”

*

Rumor had it that the head of the Xie family had a hidden affliction. He was thirty-five, worth over a hundred million, and had never dated. But only those close to him knew he wasn't entirely indifferent. He had once felt a stirring for a cross-dressing influencer online, but that person left the internet at the height of his fame and became the unattainable moonlight in Xie Chiyan's heart.

Until he hired Ruan Su.

Watching his sons grow so attached to Ruan Su in women's clothes and call him “Mom,” Xie Chiyan was swept up once again by that familiar stirring.

“Tomorrow, you'll receive your dismissal notice and three months' severance,” Xie Chiyan announced coolly. Only he knew how flustered he was beneath his suit trousers.

Ruan Su really was dismissed.

Only, he wasn't leaving the Xie family. He was staying there forever as the children's “Mom.”
