About this ebook
In the glitzy, high-stakes world of the entertainment industry, Fang is the reigning "fresh meat" idol, while Xu Sunshine is his ultimate charismatic rival. To the public and their ravenous fanbases, they are bitter adversaries competing for the same multi-million dollar endorsements, magazine covers, and cinematic roles. But behind the flashing cameras lies a scandalous secret: seven years ago, while studying abroad, they fell passionately in love and legally bound themselves in marriage—a connection Fang thought he had completely erased.
When an intimate, long-forgotten photo from their past leaks online, it triggers a massive media storm. Forced together by their PR teams to stage a chaotic "good friends" damage-control campaign, the fragile truce quickly deteriorates into a battle of wits. Following a harrowing car accident and a tense, alcohol-fueled confrontation at an elite industry gala, Fang furiously demands a divorce.
However, Sunshine has other plans. Realizing he never truly stopped loving his hot-tempered "husband," Sunshine decides to use the very legal ties Fang wants to sever to pull him back in. Navigating hyper-vigilant paparazzi, obsessive fans, and their own deep-seated unresolved trauma, the two stars must face a volatile question: Can a broken teenage romance survive the suffocating cage of modern celebrity?
Written in a unique parallel format featuring side-by-side English and German translations, this raw, fast-paced contemporary romance explores the stark duality between public image and private truth.
