Summary

Qi Xu and Pei Song are the entertainment industry's "sworn enemies."

Rumors of deep mutual hatred between the two run wild, yet neither party ever responds.

When it's officially announced that they'll appear on a variety show together, the internet explodes.

Netizens wait for the drama to unfold, but what they see is...

Someone offers out ice cream, and the hand Qi Xu reaches out is stopped by a certain someone.

Pei Song: "You're on your period."

Someone moves to add scallions to Qi Xu's noodle bowl.

Pei Song: "Qi Xu doesn't eat scallions."

Everyone else: "?"

Facing the cameras, Qi Xu responds: "Actually, we've known each other for a very long time. We've been... friends for many years."

That night, Pei Song slips into Qi Xu's room and turns off the camera.

"Friends?"

"You let a friend into your bed?"

"You let a friend touch you here?"

"You let a friend... kiss you here?"

Later, their relationship is exposed, and the whole internet rains abuse.

On the day Pei Song announces his retirement from the industry, he tells a story.

His last line: "If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago."

Editor's review

A romance that gives the entertainment-industry "sworn enemies" setup a fresh twist. Qi Xu and Pei Song are publicly bitter rivals, yet in front of variety-show cameras they keep revealing a rapport only years of familiarity could produce—that contrast is the early reading pleasure. The author doesn't stop at sugar; through the ambiguous label of "friends," she writes how the two probe, draw close, and protect each other under public pressure. The online abuse after the relationship is exposed and Pei Song's own account when he announces his retirement push the story from breezy variety-show banter toward a heavier emotional core—"If not for her, I'd have died long ago" makes all the earlier details echo back. Brisk pacing and vivid dialogue make it good relaxed reading, and good for readers who like sweetness with a touch of angst. Note that the later sections' public-pressure and retirement plot carry high emotional density, so leave room to digest.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Romance readers who like entertainment-industry settings and bickering-couple setups
  • Readers who prefer sweet with a touch of angst and a reversed emotional line
  • Those interested in variety-show interaction and the contrast between on- and off-camera
  • Readers who want emotional intensity within light reading

Not a good fit for

  • Readers who dislike entertainment-industry subjects or portrayals of fan opinion
  • Those who want light reading throughout with no angst or heavy plot
  • Readers uninterested in "years of hidden truth" reversals

Reading tips

  1. The early variety-show interaction can be read briskly; note the details of their rapport that foreshadow later events.
  2. Slow down at Pei Song's account of the past; revisiting earlier passages will reveal many echoes.
  3. If sensitive to public-opinion pressure, pause briefly at the exposure section before continuing.
  4. After finishing, map the timeline from "sworn enemies" to going public to understand the emotional progression.

FAQ

Are the two really sworn enemies?
The "sworn enemies" image is largely outsiders' imagining of rumors. Through details in the variety show, the book hints that the two have known each other for many years; the supposed hatred and opposition are not fact. Their true relationship is friends of many years, and far deeper than friends.
Is the ending a HE?
The story closes with Pei Song retiring from the industry and recounting the past, with the emphasis on confirming their relationship and protecting each other. The emotional direction tends toward fulfillment, but the process includes public-opinion pressure and the cost of retirement, making it a fulfillment with angst rather than light throughout.
Can I read it without having read entertainment-industry fiction before?
Yes. The book's depictions of variety-show recording, romance exposure, and public reaction are fairly direct; no prior knowledge of fan-culture rules is needed to follow the plot. The core remains how two people confirm each other under pressure, with a low barrier to entry.

About the author

零瑜 Author

Ling Yu is an author about whom relatively little information is available; details such as real identity, nationality, and dates of birth and death are not clearly recorded in public sources. Judging from the four works held in the collection, Ling Yu is mainly active in the fields of modern romance and youth literature. Representative titles include Nothing Above, I Want to Tell You, Unwilling, and the boxed set Urban Heartbeat: Citywide Passion. These titles suggest urban emotional and youthful narratives, often centering on the excitement, hesitation, and reluctance of love, and they appeal to contemporary young readers. Given the limited available information, a fuller account of the author's writing career and stylistic development is difficult to provide, but based on existing works, Ling Yu's writing tends toward an accessible, emotionally nuanced approach and has a certain recognizability within similar genres.
