Duan Jiashu: I would rather starve to death and jump from here, but I won’t sell CP with You Xin!

*The camera pans*

Duan Jiashu: It’s really good, selling cp with You Xin feels really good.

You Xin, a low-tier idol, is known for his agent marketing his CP’s to grow popular over the years, but the ships involving him always led to a “bad end”. Duan Jiashu on the other hand, is a popular actor who detests selling CP and even has a hobby of reporting CP content that involved him.

When the two both star in a variety show, You Xin tries to stir up CP with Duan Jiashu, but before he could even make his move, the other already treated him like air. Unexpectedly, after their earlier scuffle, Duan Jiashu himself proposes to sleep in the same room as him. Even more unexpected was that when their CP started to grow popular without his agent’s marketing strategy, Duan Jiashu himself proposed to sell CP with him. But according to Duan Jiashu, his proposal isn’t selling CP, it’s just “acting”.

You Xin: isn’t this the same thing?!

“CP is fake, but happiness is real.”

Probably 3-4 stars. This novel use nonsense and misunderstanding as humor so be advised to leave your brain at the door.

Let's just say I keep questioning ML and MC's choice esp ML.

There's a type of people who exhaust their IQ to one talent. ML is exactly that. Seems like He exhausted his IQ to acting so he's basically a nonsensical guy. He's rather special because he's extremely flawed (in logic) unlike your usual cool smart rich MLs. He's also a repressed gay which manifested in his gayphobic behaviors (written humorously... more>> ofc but incase, TW) He's also rather chuuni. MC is actually rather bland at first because he's the template of cute MC but he kind of grows on you as MC because he's cute BUT not naive/dense. He's very aware of himself and his surrounding. His EQ is high but lacks talent to be in entertainment industry. He's an optimistic person who is also a good cook. Which is always a plus. Well in short don't take this novel seriously, just read for fluff and cuteness. <<less

He's such a Weirdo!!! LMAO

From saying
Spoiler

"Selling CP is Immoral" to saying "Poor CP fans, they're the victims exist because of 'us' who make the CP. So, rather than those Fake Selling CP, let's Act as a Couple for the fans. It's our fault anyway. (Show the script he made) "

ML is Shameless. ML is Hilarious. ML is the important piece in this novel!

MC is normal. He get confused, upset, guilty, and realise everything is because of ML. Lol

Anyway, this novel is not what I expected but I'm Absolutely Pleasantly Surprised and Enjoyed every moments of it!

And the Ending is Super Satisfactory! I LOVE THIS NOVEL SOOOO MUCH TO THE MOON, FOR ETERNITY, AND ALL BEYOND!!! <<less

Eh, why is this rated so low? It's really cute and fluffy, so don't expect heavy plots or drama from this novel. MC and ML both have hilarious thought processes that make you think, "Wait, how did we get here again?" Their dynamic when put together brings about a lot of misunderstandings and comedic events. The translation is still ongoing while I'm writing this review, so I'll return when the novel finishes. As the other reviewers said, this is a good way to pass your time without taking the plot... more>> too seriously! Turn off your brain and enjoy the dog food ♡

My favorite part of the novel has to be ML having one brain cell and I'm living for it.

Spoiler

ML somehow manages to cook up a whole plot on how to make MC do CP with him without calling it CP... ML, aren't you supposed to be a genius actor? Is this really where you want to invest your abilities into? Aside from that, how can you be a cat lover if you don't even know how to take care of cats... Cats exist outside of videos, gege!

I MTL-ed this novel. Sorry if the review's bad quality since this is my first time writing a review.

This novel is decent and something good to read to pass time or if you're bored. The novel is very fluffy. The story takes place in the modern era in the entertainment circle. Our MC (Shou) is an idol while our ML (Gong) is a famous actor. Overall, I enjoyed this novel. ^^

I feel like the progression went too fast, in terms of plot and romance development that I'm left wondering how exactly is it that made MC and ML fall for each other. I think it would've benefited for more scenes between the couple but I quite like how there's not much dog blood drama or drawn out conflicts here— it's a good nice and easy read, with funny cute moments between MC and ML. A relaxing read.

It's a really sweet and silly novel. MC is a normal human being, but ML has one brain cell. I really have no idea how his brain works; he is unique. At first, I didn't like him, but then I kind of got used to him and his strange logic, and in the end, I even liked him. His antics were funny. The story itself was good and well-written. It's a light read that's good for killing time without drama and is really funny.

Do you know that meme where it goes "Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?" That's how I feel about the ML, and it's always made me cackle.

As for the story itself, it's good for a lighthearted read. Nothing too angsty, just really funny if you're up to suspending your disbelief for this novel. It's mostly just getting the feeling that both you and MC have no idea what brought the plot here.

It's cute and full of fluff with a simple plot.. So, if one wants to read something light, that doesn't have any serious drama, this story is perfect for that..

But it's also because of that, that it feels quite boring pretty soon..
