Timid and lustful little white rabbit female lead x pretending to be innocent but scheming possessive male lead... more>>

Qin Xiaoyu has always been secretly in love with that dazzling teenager.

He is the most beautiful cloud in the sky, while she is as humble as mud on the ground.

She hides in the crowd and secretly watches him sweating on the basketball court, and taking the first place in the city on the award podium.

There are countless girls who admire Huo Sichen, but she is just the most ordinary one.

She thought she could only hide her secret love in her heart for the rest of her life, but she accidentally downloaded a hypnosis app.

Qin Xiaoyu didn’t believe it at first, but unexpectedly she really hypnotized Huo Sichen.

The perfect boy in a white shirt stood in front of her, completely obeying her orders.

Qin Xiaoyu originally just wanted to look at him like this without fear, but she didn’t expect her greed to increase a little bit.

The male lead’s pov:

Huo Sichen noticed the girl very early on.

She was like a little white rabbit, blushing at the slightest glance from him. She was clearly there to steal a look at him, but always pretended to pass by casually.

Until one day, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the hypnosis page on the little rabbit’s phone. He pretended to be hypnotized by her and wanted to see what she would do.

Later, Huo Sichen deliberately seduced her, tempting her to fall step by step.

Huo Sichen originally just wanted to tease her, but in the end he became addicted to this little white rabbit. <<less

This dramatic shift of destiny plunged him into a world far removed from his own, compelling him to navigate the complexities of life anew through the eyes of another.... more>>

Yagi Miyuki was no stranger to the rigors of academic pursuit. With the weight of Xingzhi’s ambitions now resting on his shoulders, Yagi Miyuki found himself fueled by a newfound determination. He set his sights on a lofty goal: to excel academically and secure a place in one of the nation’s top universities.

A cheating story triggered by accidental penetration during a movie shoot with her sexually impotent husband's movie star father ~...

Not long after Ning Wan was ‘banished’ to a rural neighbourhood by Zhengyuan Law Firm headquarters, a second victim was exiled to join her.... more>>

Vivacious, tall, handsome, a complete gentleman, he exuded the unique aura…

…of a character likely to die off-screen in a historical drama. Were he to become a community lawyer, he would surely end up berated by middle-aged aunties until he cried a river and came to doubt life. He was a big, silly softie, a newbie easy to pick on!

Ning Wan decided that she would beat this poor neglected novice into shape—

“Fu Zheng, isn’t it? Newcomers here must be obedient and discerning.”

“When I dig a pit, you’ll fill it in. When I eat meat, you’ll drink the broth. When I head east, you can’t head west. In short, consider me your God in this remote wilderness beyond the reach of the government.”

Although a little silly, the newbie was handsome, obedient, and tactful. She developed a soft spot for him and decided to impart the ultimate skills she had cultivated for a lifetime: how to shift the blame; how to loaf on the job; how to pay lip service to the boss.

She was very sincere, holding nothing back—

“Truthfully, my unique skills are not without cost. I advise you to like me as soon as possible. Let me analyze the advantages and disadvantages of liking me…”

That big, silly softie, Fu Zheng, succumbed to her coercion and temptation. From that day on, he devoted himself to Ning Wan.

Half a year later, Ning Wan attended the annual meeting at headquarters. There, she was introduced to the new senior partner…

A vivacious, tall, handsome gentleman.

“Hello everyone, I’m Fu Zheng,” he grinned. “I joined this firm to get rid of the bad atmosphere, such as: shifting the blame, loafing on the job, and paying lip service to the boss…”

‘Fu Zheng, you—! Goddammit! This is fraud!’ <<less

In order to humiliate him, his enemies found a foolish male insect and deliberately sent it to him.

And then Yan Zihan shot the male insect dead.

Lin Yu, who had transformed into a male insect: “…”

Lin Yu, looking at the handsome man in front of him, who had already drawn his firearm, gritted his teeth and kissed him.

“???”

The person’s expression cracked: “Who is about to give birth? Yan Zihan is about to… what??”

Lin Yu saw Yan Zihan approaching and hurriedly rushed over. “Darling, I really did not look at him! You are the only one in my heart! I even wore two layers of pants today and did not take off my scarf. I am extremely faithful to you, I swear!” <<less

Qiao Nai became famous overnight because of her god-given acting skills and her beautiful face.... more>>

One time when she was walking down the red carpet, she was caught in the same frame as the current top star He Siyu, and a group photo of theirs became popular all over the internet.

The whole world was begging them to be together, even if it was for the sake of publicity.

But, Qiao Nai only cared about her career, and announced to the world, “I have no plans to fall in love, atleast within these three years.”

One sentence broke the fantasy of all “Nice” fans.

The two later collaborated in a movie together.

After the last kiss scene was filmed, the two were reluctant to let go of each other.

It was not too dramatic, but it really moved their hearts.

After the film was released, the two won awards at many major film festivals.

At night, He Siyu rubbed his nose against Qiao Nai’s earlobe and said, “When will we make our relationship public?” Qiao Nai thought of her three-year agreement, and didn’t want to slap herself in face.

On the third day, He Siyu posted a sneak-peek of their sweet couple life on Weibo.

　　On the fourth day, when He Siyu was interviewed and asked about his ideal type, he described Qiao Nai, even down to the strands of her hair.

…

Under He Siyu’s series of actions, everyone started speculating about the relationship between the two.

But, Qiao Nai rebutted them every time: “For the promotion of the movie.”

Fans: The movie has been released for more than half a year, why is the after-sales service so good?

It continued till some time later, when a photo of He Siyu and a mysterious woman kissing in a deserted street was exposed.

He Siyu posted a statement on Weibo: [I am indeed in love, but it will take two years, one month and eight days to make an official announcement.]

His fans calculated that day and realised that it happened to be the same day three years later, when Qiao Nai officially announced that she would not be in a relationship.

Qiao Nai then replied downstairs: Tell me your ID card number!

Small theater:

There was a scene where Qiao Nai had to take the initiative to kiss He Siyu passionately. Due to her inexperience and unfamiliarity with her partner, they had to take several shots.

He Siyu then proposed to empty the scene to let them get into their characters. When there were only two of them left in the room, He Siyu leaned closer to her ear and whispered bewitchingly: “Try saying my name later in my mouth.” <<less

On the afternoon she received the “Outstanding Work Award” at the art exhibition, a handsome senior volunteered to take her out for ice cream. She wore her only white dress, as pure as gardenia flowers.

Lin Yiwei looked up, and a group of racing boys were sitting on the opposite steps. Xie Bao held a cigarette between his fingers. In the white mist, his profile was sharp, his smile rebellious and wild.

That night, Lin Yiwei’s white dress shattered in Xie Bao’s hands.

Xue Xiao was a diligent and hardworking background actor. Then he offended a big name in the circle and became unable to receive new acting roles.... more>>

He thought he would never be able to realize his dream and become an excellent actor like Shen Tingyan until he suddenly received an email one day.

[Hello, you have passed the audition for ‘Studio Superstar.’ Please be on time…]
This was an actor talent show created by the largest media platform in the country. A new starting point was laid out in front of him.

Here, he went from being unknown to becoming the brightest star on the big screen.

At the same time, he also touched the star that belonged to him.

—

Shen Tingyan was one of the four mentors of the show ‘Studio Superstar,’ and his first impression of Xue Xiao was that of a shy, studious contestant who carefully watched every scene with wide eyes.

The second time he saw Xue Xiao, he found that even if this young man had no one to act with him, he could use the little flowers on the roadside, the air in front of him, or the kitten taking a nap in front of him as his scene partners to practice his lines diligently. There might be a bit of shyness, but he was entirely focused once immersed in it.

The third time he saw Xue Xiao, the young man was lying in a corner of the studio and sleeping in a daze. The script he held in his arms was full of his previous comments on the scene, and a cute chibi version of a person was drawn next to it.

This little person inexplicably looked like him, which made Shen Tingyan fall into deep thought.

The fourth time he saw Xue Xiao…

The little guy was peeking at him.

Once Xue Xiao was caught, he buried his head in a panic and pretended that nothing had happened. However, his ears were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.

Shen Tingyan stared at the crimson color, paused, and drew a horizontal line on his script.

He inexplicably decided that he would make a note of it every time he caught Xue Xiao peeking at him in the future.

Then he found that he had drawn a full ten ‘正’ characters in just one day.

Shen Tingyan finally couldn’t help laughing.

—

Xue Xiao’s starting point was a passerby corpse on the battlefield.

Later, he became a dejected young man drunk by the side of the road, a high-spirited young general, a lonely mute, a dissolute wastrel…

He ran all the way to the brightest night sky. On the day he stepped on the Best Actor’s podium at the age of 25, the one who handed him the trophy was Shen Tingyan, who accompanied him all the way.

Shen Tingyan asked him with a smile, “What do you want to do most now?”

Xue Xiao faced this man, pursed his lips, and smiled. “I have already obtained what I want most.”

“What about you?”

“I want to hold the star in my hand now,” the man said. <<less
