Chapter 51: Implantable Medicinal Jade


This was Jiang Shunnian’s first drama after a four-year hiatus from the entertainment industry, and the entire Fu Family placed great importance on it.

The usually aloof Shen Lingyi in the industry even sent a message to her circle of wealthy sisters, enthusiastically recommending her daughter-in-law Jiang Shunnian and urging them to subscribe to super memberships in advance.

At that gala a few months ago, Jiang Shunnian’s outstanding looks and demeanor had indeed left a deep impression on these socialite wives. Hearing Shen Lingyi promote him so vigorously, they teased her with smiles: “You’re really basking in glory these days. Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and your grandson so clever and quick-witted.”

Shen Lingyi grinned from ear to ear, casually humblebragging: “Shunnian’s just perfect, and my grandson’s even better. The other day, he bought me a brooch and transferred me thirty thousand in pocket money, saying he’d made some money and wanted Grandma to spend it. I must’ve accumulated a ton of good karma in my past life to deserve such a wonderful grandson this time around.”

Nono’s second batch of earnings had come in— a full one hundred twenty thousand this time. He’d transferred money to every elder, meaning Nono could support the family now!

What a massive humblebrag, and it had all the ladies green with envy.

After all, no other family could match the Fu Family: a single line of heirs, yet every generation produced top talents.

Their own families might have many heirs, but they were riddled with spoiled playboys—nowhere near the Fu Family’s league.

And it looked like the next generation’s Nono was destined to be a leader too.

Fu Shizhang personally wrote the eight characters “Starlight Bestowed on You Soars in Ratings” as a gift for Jiang Shunnian. The calligraphy danced like dragons and snakes, bold and unrestrained, with a vibrant energy that seemed ready to leap off the page—a masterpiece.

Jiang Shunnian snapped a photo and shared it in the group chat, earning a chorus of praise. The producer even remarked that their drama almost didn’t deserve such fine artwork.

They also asked if they could post it on the official Weibo during promotions, and Jiang Shunnian naturally agreed.

That evening at seven, four episodes aired in a row, with super members getting two extra.

The producer informed Jiang Shunnian that he had plenty of screen time in those six episodes, and internal reviews predicted strong results.

Jiang Shunnian felt both excited and nervous, especially since pre-orders had already broken three million—a surefire small hit. He just worried about a strong start fizzling out.

Though he didn’t need to carry the drama—he was just a villain, after all. Whether it flopped or not had little to do with him directly.

But like his breakout four years ago, which wasn’t even a lead role, a drama’s success required everyone’s effort. No role should be undervalued.

Early that morning, Jiang Shunnian began pacing anxiously.

Fu Yanli had considered issuing a company-wide memo at Fu Corporation, mandating everyone subscribe to annual memberships for Starlight Bestowed on You with fees fully reimbursed, but Jiang Shunnian stopped him.

He wanted to see real data, and besides, they weren’t public yet—though many Fu Corporation employees vaguely guessed Jiang Shunnian was the boss’s wife.

Fu Yanli couldn’t bear seeing his love stressed over the new drama, so he thoughtfully offered bed-warming services, scooping him up and carrying him back to the bedroom to advance their “collaboration project.”

Jiang Shunnian couldn’t take the torment. He hooked his long legs around Fu Yanli’s lean waist, pulling him back in an attempt to get it over with quickly, only to hurt himself…

“You, so eager for what?” Fu Yanli gently applied medicine to Jiang Shunnian, heartbroken at the streaks of bright red blood.

Jiang Shunnian’s earlobes flushed red as he buried his face in the pillow, mumbling a defense: “I just thought long pain beats short pain—who knew you’d go even harder afterward…”

He trailed off, unable to finish.

“Go even harder how? Why stop now?” Fu Yanli teased.

Pink flush crept up Jiang Shunnian’s jade-like back, and he refused to answer.

Knowing his thin skin, Fu Yanli teased more: “I had someone acquire a batch of implantable Medicinal Jades.”

“Hm? Medicinal Jade? For what?” Jiang Shunnian blinked blankly.

Fu Yanli’s warm, callused fingertip tapped a certain spot.

Jiang Shunnian couldn’t believe it, nearly jumping up, but Fu Yanli pinned his waist, holding him still. He protested fiercely: “I don’t want it—cancel it now!”

“It’s good for your body.” Fu Yanli coaxed patiently. “Put it in before bed, take it out in the morning.”

Jiang Shunnian clamped his hands over his ears, refusing to listen.

He! Absolutely! Would! Not! Use! Medicinal Jade!

By the time their commotion ended, it was noon. Fu Yanli made lunch for Jiang Shunnian, who then turned on the camera to check on Nono.

Watching the little one grip his pen and scribble seriously filled Jiang Shunnian’s face with tenderness. His kid—perfect no matter how you look at him!

In the afternoon, Fu Yanli held Jiang Shunnian for a nap, then they went together to pick up Nono from school.

The moment Nono spotted Daddy, he flapped his little arms like a fledgling bird, flying toward Jiang Shunnian. Just as Jiang Shunnian reached to scoop him up, Fu Yanli intercepted, snatching and hugging the boy.

Nono blinked in confusion. Why’s Daddy Fu rushing to hug me?

“Your daddy’s hurt—don’t bother him,” Fu Yanli explained solemnly.

Nono immediately fretted: “Daddy, where are you hurt? Let me see!”

Jiang Shunnian shot Fu Yanli a glare, trying to brush it off: “It’s nothing—your Daddy Fu’s joking.”

“Daddy, Nono’s worried.” Nono’s eyes reddened, his voice turning teary.

Fu Yanli realized he’d gone too far with the joke and hurried to soothe him, admitting it was just that. Still uneasy, Nono inspected him front and back, finding no injury before relenting.

The couple sighed in relief. Jiang Shunnian sneaked a hand over, pinching Fu Yanli’s waist.

Fu Yanli took it stone-faced.

Finally, seven o’clock arrived. Jiang Shunnian had the TV on early, membership charged, and even Nono finished homework ahead to watch with Daddy.

Tensing from nerves, Jiang Shunnian forgot his injury behind and sat too hard, nearly crying out. With Nono there, he couldn’t let the kid notice.

He gritted his teeth, forcing his body to relax—thank goodness for the soft sofa.

Fu Yanli used the remote to recline the sofa into bed mode. Jiang Shunnian lay back comfortably, pulling Nono into his arms to watch.

It opened with the female lead overworked to death by her company, then reborn with convincing effects.

Chen Letong nailed the pre- and post-rebirth states, especially in close-ups of her eyes, signaling a revenge story kickoff.

The rebirth hooked into the male lead rescuing her, spotted by villain Zhou Wenqi, who seethed and plotted with his uncle to force her into trash films.

Jiang Shunnian’s Zhou Wenqi was endearingly dumb-evil—hateful yet oddly cute.

With live barrage on, comments exploded when he appeared.

> Pretty villain—who wouldn’t love? Hahaha, Jiang Shunnian’s villain is so cute!

>

> Hey, looks aren’t justice, right? So bad—must be punished! Let me (suddenly hyped)

>

> To be fair, Jiang Shunnian’s acting still slaps. Makes a web drama feel big-budget.

>

> No surprise he fathered Nono.

>

> High-energy warning—

Barrages flew too fast to read every one, but mostly praise eased Jiang Shunnian’s mind.

Nono didn’t get everything but watched seriously with Daddy, his eyes sparkling biu every time Daddy appeared.

But Fu Yanli grew more displeased the longer he watched. How could Jiang Shunnian give the male lead such genuine adoring looks? He didn’t even look at him that way.

Fu Yanli burned with jealousy, nipping his earlobe. Later, I can have him act a shipping scene for me.

Oblivious in the drama, Jiang Shunnian missed Fu Yanli’s thoughts entirely.

Starlight Bestowed on You trended on search lists across platforms, even earning Jiang Shunnian a solo entry praising his unchanged authoritative acting after four years away.

His Weibo fans surged—not from Nono this time, but genuine acting fans.

Tight editing, solid acting across the board, fresh plot with revenge highs and shippable romance—it didn’t just start strong; it built higher. Platforms buzzed with discussions and fan creations. Even Nine Heavens Palace‘s official Weibo hyped Jiang Shunnian’s Lan Xuewei, dropping a still of him in pure white fox fur trudging through snow.

Ice-skinned, jade-boned, ethereal beauty—but eyes cold, seeing through all.

A stark contrast to dumb-villain Zhou Wenqi.

The photo rocketed to trends, lauding Jiang Shunnian’s range.

He flipped red again via role, drawing collaborators—and some seeking “meetings” for hookups.

Four years ago, Jiang Shunnian couldn’t refuse. Now, thoroughly protected, he ignored meaningless or shady invites, focusing solely on acting and honing his craft.

Word spread he had backers; opportunists backed off.

But to Qin Guanyue, Jiang Shunnian had become a heart demon.

The screen’s vibrant youth was gorgeous and lively, his mischief teasing the heartstrings. Qin Guanyue now loved and hated him—itching to whip him raw, then cradle and cherish.

But after his last move, Qin Guanting strictly forbade any action against Jiang Shunnian, threatening expulsion from the Qin Family.

Qin Guanting controlled Qin Group—no fool. Far from it; he was sharp. Knowing all-out war with Fu Corporation, he sought ways to topple them but found none.

Fu Yanli’s defenses were watertight.

Faking scandals risked backlash—the last mole fiasco had cost him big.

He shifted to defense, slowing Qin Group’s expansion to plug leaks and avoid handles for Fu Yanli.

He also reined in his useless brother, burying all dirty secrets deep.

As for Qin Huan, no one noticed him anymore—or that he’d started having bizarre dreams for days.

At first, fragmented voices. Then hazy scenes of tormenting Nono, the thrill intoxicating.

Qin Huan didn’t fully grasp it but sensed: soon, Jiang Shunnian would die, Nono fall into his hands—to toy with at will.

Perfect.

Starlight Bestowed on You’s hot streak drew an invite from the nation’s top variety show for a drama special collab.

They couldn’t refuse—prime exposure.

Thus, Jiang Shunnian needed to head to C City again.

By departure, his injury had fully healed, no issue for recording—but Fu Yanli’s custom Medicinal Jade had just arrived.
