Runaway Starlight
Two male leads + secret love + entertainment industry + younger man + reunion after heartbreak Legendary actor Shen Jixing, aloof as a mountain, pristine as snow, elegant and cold, has long commanded the summit of the entertainment world. But one day, he is swept up in a storm of scandal. From that moment, his status plummets. Homeless and with nowhere else to turn, he calmly knocks on his nemesis’s door. “Zhou Yili, I have nowhere else to go…” Leaning against the doorframe is Zhou Yili, the newest top star—tall, with long legs, a jet-black diamond in his ear, exuding rakish charm. He glances down, lazily and with a mocking smile. “The man who once smashed a bottle over my head and left me half dead dares to show up in front of me now.” He grins, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll finish you off, sweetheart?” … The rising rock star Zhou Yili, a sensation from the moment he debuted, is said to be born for this industry, a wild wolf sweeping through the entertainment world with unstoppable force. But only he knows the truth: “I don’t belong here.” Offstage, he pins the beautiful man he has yearned for against the wall, his kiss deep and searing. “I belong only to you.” Cold and aloof actor as the receiver × mad, wolfish younger rocker as the pursuer “From the day we met, you have been the star that never leaves my day or night.” — Lermontov
Runaway Starlight
In the cool, understated luxury of the apartment, the curtains blocked out every trace of light. The man in bed was roused by the ringing of his phone, his sinewy forearm draped lazily over his eyes.
“Brother Zhou, are you awake?”
“Did you check the trending topics? Your good days are coming!”
His assistant, Mo, sounded positively gleeful on the other end.
Zhou Yili, still half asleep, lifted his gaze to the screen and glanced at it with bleary eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed twice, and his thin lips uttered four indifferent words:
“None of my business.”
He didn’t need to open the trending topics himself; Weibo had already pushed them to the homepage. The same name appeared everywhere.
#Shen Jixing# [Explosion]
#Shen Jixing’s image collapses# [Explosion]
#Shen Jixing’s fake identity# [Explosion]
#Shen Jixing backed by mysterious sponsor, sleeps with male fans# [Explosion!]
#…?# [Explosion]
Such obscure words, detonating the trending list.
Shen Jixing, the unrivaled superstar who ruled half of the entertainment industry, his position never threatened. One could imagine the storm these negative rumors had stirred.
“Brother, have you ever heard the phrase ‘when a whale falls, all things thrive’?” Mo whispered excitedly, covering his mouth. “We’ve always called Shen the resource-hoarding demon king in private!”
All the best opportunities had to be fought for, and goddamn it, you couldn’t win against him.
Who would have thought the tides would turn, and the demon king would fall?
Mo’s inno
