A charismatic actor with hidden depths × A star devoted solely to his craft

Li Qianxing is a legend in the entertainment industry.

Debuting as a child star, he’s been acting for twenty years, winning countless awards. His name is synonymous with “Best Actor.”

Equally famous as his acting skills is his aloofness. For years, he’s only focused on filming, avoiding variety shows and public appearances.

There’s also a legend circulating within the industry.

Anyone who’s played a romantic role opposite Li Qianxing, regardless of gender, inevitably falls for him, only to end up heartbroken and rejected.

Jiang Lin, a rising star and recent Best Actor winner, is set to co-star with Li Qianxing in a gay-themed film.

His agent, worriedly flipping through the risqué script, warns, “Ancestor, don’t fall for Li Qianxing!”

Jiang Lin scoffs, “You should worry about him falling for me.”

The two actors meet for the first time.

Li Qianxing: “I have one principle – no dating on set.”

Jiang Lin smiles, “What a coincidence, so do I.”

On set, sparks fly, leaving the crew blushing and flustered.

Jiang Lin eyes the marks on Li Qianxing’s waist. “Teacher Li’s dedication to his art is admirable.”

Li Qianxing glances at the cut on Jiang’s lip, replying politely, “Teacher Jiang’s sacrifice is considerable as well.”

On the final day of shooting.

Jiang Lin blocks Li Qianxing’s path, holding a large bouquet of roses.

“Teacher Li, do you think we can start a relationship now?”

Later, Li Qianxing and Jiang Lin acted together again.

One night, Jiang Lin knocks on Li Qianxing’s door.

Li Qianxing: “I told you, no dating on set.”

Jiang Lin pushes his way in. “We’re not. We’re just running lines.”

Li Qianxing looked at the person who was holding him against the wall and said, “This isn’t in the script.”

Jiang Lin gently rubbed his waist and said in a low voice, “Let’s explore our characters, add some depth…”

As their new film hits theaters, a video leaks online—is it acting or real?

The clip shows two ambiguous characters from the film engaged in a tense conversation and passionate kiss in a cluttered setting.

Fans flood the official account, begging for the scene to be cut.

The screenwriter is shocked: This wasn’t in the script. Now I just want to hand the pen to these two and let them add more scenes!

Not long after, Jiang Lin went online and posted on Weibo:

You can’t imagine the joy of dating a Best Actor.

This story was more straightforward than I expected. There weren’t any major obstacles and there was just a nicely paced development of relationship.

I have to say the way this novel started was more interesting and intriguing to me.

... more>>
Spoiler

The first time meeting in a bar in disguise, the promise to not start a romance while on set. I was certain that this story would be one with a lot of tension and passionate love. But it turned out that the passionate and tense love was just the role they were playing in their film. That was slightly disappointing but I sorta like this style too.

[collapse]

This storyline was rather fluffy and pretty realistic. Not a lot of tension or any hidden feelings.

I do like the characters especially the one of an incredibly attentive partner that naturally cares for your needs. Both of the couple are capable and don’t really experience any trouble throughout the story.

In my opinion they developed feelings a tad bit too early but because its a shorter story it was pretty understandable and maybe I just rushed reading it too much.

After they got together it was just all about fluff and in my opinion it got a bit tiring because I am a huge fan of the pursuit. However it was still nice to see a few moments of a power couple.

All in all a sweet story that is well written and enjoyable. Its a shorter story with no twists and turns. <<less

After reading a very angsty BL, this is exactly what I needed. This story is such a breath of fresh air with fluff and wholesomeness galore.

None of those naive and dense protagonists here. Both our MC and ML are very powerful actors from the start with supportive teams behind them. We set the initial flag of "no falling in love on set" but our main couple gradually become more familiar and closer to each other over the course of filming. Their affection is so natural and comes from mutual acts... more>> of service. Our ML, perhaps thanks to his more complex journey through the entertainment circle, is more easily able to realize his emotions and has the courage to proactively act upon them while making sure that the MC is comfortable. Despite initially being in shock, the MC is able to recognize how he treats the ML differently after some hints from the ML. Thanks to the ML's brave pursuit of the MC, they smoothly get together and end up showing equal amounts of affection. Both of them are adults now, so there's no shyness about their relationship or physical intimacy. Our MC is a big fan of having the ML lose control over his emotions for him during s*x hahaha, it's quite fun to see.

Overall just a very wholesome, no drama, no angst love story between two OP actors. Short but sweet. <<less

What a great showbiz novel! Hands down some of the best acting scenes I've read- there's a good amount of setup with props and location, followed by a fully immersive experience with the characters as they play out the scene. The intial romance movie is the main focus of the plot, taking up about half of the storyline, and then the novel is mostly slice of life interspersed with shorter acting plays.

The main couple's natures were a perfect match for each other, with a doting and protective ML and a... more>> useless-in-the-household MC with a weak constitution. While ML is the type to protect and care for MC in many ways (lending him a jacket when it's cold, cooking for him, carrying around hot water for him), the care is equally returned by MC guarding ML's feelings and never taking advantage of ML's good nature. Their real life relationship was very calm and sweet, while their acting added excitement and drama through role playing- the joys of dating an actor haha

MC's personality was so refreshingly upfront and his straightforward nature led to some frankly hilarious lines like:
Spoiler

"For two healthy adult men who already know each other quite well, I think 'taking it slow' means about a week. So there's no real need to deliberately slow things down. Acting on impulse is fine too."

[collapse]

Only one strange plot point for me:
Spoiler

ML randomly just moves into the apartment below MC without any warning, just a "I now live below you now do you want to come over" lol?? MC didn't seem to really mind (as ML insisted he would immediately move out if MC didn't like it) and their relationship going forwards only got sweeter, so it wasn't a huge deal in the end but it did feel a bit stalkerish.

This is so incredibly adorable and wholesome. And it's just the right length to not get boring.

They're possibly my favourite BL couple to date.

This book is just pure happiness.

A mature, calm romantic progression with mutual respect and admiration. Not particularly fiery or passionate with sizzling chemistry that builds... but more mellow gradual feelings of companionship and intimacy.

It’s a no angst, mild face-slap, generally smooth ride. Light fluff.

Some ‘convenient to plot’ tropes like

Spoiler
  • Random childhood connections. The grandma? Then the childhood saving lol
  • Cannon fodder villains who are fame hungry and not as talented
  • Weak constitution of shou ML needing to be taken care of

It was alright.

4.6 (I can't quite figure out the star buttons)

There are many things I really liked about this one

firstly it's very nicely (fast) paced, not a dull or unnecessary moment. They're already quite developed as a person so the development is mostly focused on the development of their relationship.

secondly the acting parts. The acting parts are written in a way thats actually believable and does justice to the great actor they're in the story also it's enough to pique interest but not make you bored also their acting career and... more>> choices is very nicely woven into their relationship which is fun to read

this novel is everything the synopsis has promised and more. If that intrested you please go ahead and read it it won't disappoint.

it's just I wanted it to be long not because it felt abrupt but I wanted to read more of them lol. <<less

A gem of a novel! Just the right pacing and the romance is definitely sweet (I just love this novel). There's no drama and this couple "communicates" with each other. Love how they both can both be open to each other without any secrets. Jiang Lin is such a dream ML he is so patient and attentive with Li Qiangxing.

I love this! The best romance ever with the perfect length and no superfluous plot line or side characters. Most mature, open minded and straightforward leads ever. Just enough technical info on filming to pique your interest but not make you gag with dumps. Definitely worth reading again when you need the sugar rush. Finished reading in less than 12hours.
