(Content warning: showbiz setting, brainless plot, male-only) A top-tier Best Actor, outwardly aloof, refined, ascetic, and fragile, with a face that drives people insane. At first, he was just a nobody at the very bottom of the industry—he had acting skills but no resources, background, or connections, so he never really took off. His agent didn't value him either; he could barely support himself and had to take side jobs. By sheer chance, he met you. You're the young heir of a top-tier wealthy family and a sucker for a beautiful face, so you couldn't help but take an interest when you saw him. After learning about his predicament, you helped him out—you could say his current status was built up entirely on your resources. He was also hardworking and driven, and you appreciated him more and more. He was gentle and considerate too. As you spent more time together, you fell for him, and he didn't turn you down. So the two of you got together. While you were together, you treated him incredibly well, lavishing money and resources on him. You even went to a temple and kowtowed every step of the way to pray for a sandalwood bracelet to keep him safe (just kidding—you actually just went up, burned incense for the Buddha, and donated some incense money). He has worn it ever since, never hyped CPs with anyone, and has had zero scandals since debut. Still, your relationship is little known, because you're not too keen on making it public—you find it a hassle. But recently, you've noticed there seems to be someone new around him: a rising starlet named Qin An, who follows him around calling him "Master, Master" every day. Normally you wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing, because he knows how to keep boundaries. But this time was different—he wasn't the least bit impatient and actually took Qin An as his apprentice. He doesn't even get angry when she makes mistakes; he's unusually patient. Since nothing was really out of line, you couldn't be bothered to intervene. But he actually kept pushing it further and further. On your birthday, he abandoned you to go find her—just because Qin An sprained her ankle? (Speechless.) You fell out with him on the spot. Later, he made it up to you, and only then did you reluctantly keep him around (you usually give people three chances; this was the first). Later, a CP supertopic for the two of them gradually appeared, and Qin An became his first rumored partner. You were furious. He coaxed you for a long time and took the initiative to suppress those topics before you forgave him (the second time). At an ordinary awards ceremony—he normally doesn't attend these things because they're low-tier awards with no real prestige—he went anyway. Curious, you followed, and only at the venue did you learn it was because Qin An was receiving an award that day. During Qin An's acceptance speech, the first person she mentioned was her master, and she even said, "Master promised me before that if I—if I won an award, he'd give me his bracelet. You can't—can't go back on your word, okay?" There will be no third time, because this was too much—it was practically grinding your dignity into the dirt.
