Chasing the Tide

Wen Chaosheng had always been socially anxious and slow to warm up, like a sluggish turtle. Growing up, he harbored just two wishes.

The first was to become a director and make movies. The second was to cast Xi Zhui as the male lead in those films.

Luckily, he accomplished both—and got even luckier when Xi Zhui became his boyfriend.

But then an unexpected accident derailed his directing career entirely. After one careless breakup text, their relationship faded into nothing.

Years passed. Wen Chaosheng became a washed-up director that the investment world wrote off, his new script gathering dust with no actors interested. Meanwhile, Xi Zhui rose as a radiant new Film Emperor, movie offers flooding in.

Everyone said their status gap was insurmountable—no way they’d ever work together again. Even Wen Chaosheng believed it. TAT

But neither he nor the world knew the truth: the mighty Film Emperor still smarted from that dumping years ago and was dead set on joining the production (^_^).

After their long breakup, Xi Zhui never dreamed that on their reunion night, the typically brooding Wen Chaosheng would declare:

“Don’t you want to join the crew? Then spend one night with me.”

“What kind of ‘spend the night’?”

“The kind you’re thinking of. Get in bed with me.”

“…”

Well then. His ex had certainly leveled up, bold enough to proposition a backdoor deal.

Xi Zhui’s face turned cold, his gaze darkening. In three seconds flat, he agreed. That night, he whisked the man home and gave him the full night’s “companionship.”

In time, though, one night didn’t cut it anymore. He wanted forever.
