CHAPTERS
When Shi Yi was young, he never imagined that he would one day run a company. Most people assumed he would follow the natural course and enroll in a military academy. After all, his family had the connections and influence, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of them. But he had made up his mind early on—he would never become a soldier. It wasn’t that he resented the profession. He simply didn’t want to live under his father’s shadow. He had considered other paths. Perhaps…- 283.2 K • Completed
- Ying Ming had barely slept for three hours before the banging on his door yanked him awake. The noise was loud enough to feel like someone was tearing the place down, making his scalp tingle. Dragging his sleep-deprived, aching head downstairs to open the door, he found Wang Yiqi standing outside, looking ready to demand an explanation. Honestly, not surprising. "You're up early," Ying Ming muttered, frowning. "Ying Ming, if you don’t explain yourself today, I swear I’m not…

- Shi Yi asked the question, and Ying Ming paused for a moment before opening his eyes to look at him. "Why are you asking this?" "I saw it in a magazine. They made it sound really dramatic." Though later, they dragged Liu Li into the story, but it was obvious that part was nonsense. Ying Ming stared at Shi Yi for a long time, probably thinking about how to answer. In the end, he just pulled the corner of his mouth. "What do you think?" Shi Yi hated responses like that, especially when they came…

- After finishing his movie, Ying Ming grabbed his backpack and left the city. He didn’t stay even a single extra day. He had cleared over a month from his work schedule, switched his SIM card, and cut off all contact except for a few numbers, just his family and a couple of people who might need to urgently reach him. This was one of his work habits. He never explained where he was going, nor did he plan how far he would travel. He simply picked a destination and wandered, sightseeing along…

- In Shi Yi’s impression, Ying Ming was someone who, most of the time, didn’t seem to care much. Although the two of them couldn’t be considered particularly close, whenever they interacted, if it came to a point where one of them had to give way, it was usually Ying Ming who stepped back. He seemed like the type who would argue and get serious, but in reality, he viewed things more lightly than most people. He could be wild when having fun, but he was often the one who stayed clear-headed in…

- Ying Ming had already made it clear that he did not want to continue cooperating with the publicity stunt, but the matter did not end there. The thoughts of the investors, the director, and the producer were obviously at odds with his, and Liu Li's attitude made Ying Ming's opinion seem even more insignificant in the whole situation. Many people in the crew understood what was really going on. Some watched for the fun of it, while others spread gossip. As with anything, some people were…

- Unsurprisingly, Ying Ming and Liu Li’s newly added scenes together made the news.There were various speculations. Some said it was Liu Li’s request, while others claimed it was Ying Ming’s. No one could verify the truth, and when the parties involved were asked, they all uniformly stated it was the director’s arrangement. Privately, though, Liu Li had become noticeably warmer toward Ying Ming. Since Ying Ming was friends with Shi Yi, and Liu Li was Shi Yi’s girlfriend, it wasn’t unusual…

- In this industry, as long as there’s a rumor, it’s like finding the source of a draft. It doesn’t take long for a light breeze to turn into a strong gust, then into a full-blown hurricane. By the time it becomes common knowledge, the person at the eye of the storm is often still oblivious. Ying Ming’s fleeting thought from a few days ago had somehow made it to the cover of a gossip magazine in just three days. But instead of Shi Yi, the headline scandal involved someone else. Wang…

- "How did you and Shi Yi get acquainted? He doesn't seem like your usual crowd!" In the hotel room, Wang Yiqi was still relentlessly pestering Ying Ming about how he’d met Shi Yi. Ying Ming lit a cigarette, glanced at him lazily, and replied, “I wouldn’t have connected with him if it weren’t for you.” If Shi Yi hadn’t approached him because of Wang Yiqi, it was unlikely they’d have ever crossed paths. Having his past brought up, Wang Yiqi looked a bit uncomfortable. He gave a…

- Shi Yi was abroad when the film started shooting. He was in France working on a business deal, so he just skimmed through the news and gave Liu Li a quick call to congratulate her. Over the phone, Liu Li said, "Do you know what role Ying Ming is playing?" "What role?" "He's playing the villain. He’s supposed to rape me." She laughed after saying it. Shi Yi raised his eyebrows on the other end and teased, "With his build? That's a stretch, don’t you think?" That comment, however,…
