A-Xuan filmed his last scene, and after bowing to the new crew, he left. Daquan didn’t come on purpose to give him space. This week was incredibly busy for A-Xuan.

His new agent got him a lot of meetings to promote the show since he was the most talked-about casting member of Spring Kings.

He had to go everywhere with bodyguards since his fans were unrelenting. Every time they saw him, they would scream and beg him for pictures or autographs.

A-Xuan would oblige shyly, which would only make them scream louder. During the week, he talked every night with Muyun on the phone.

Every time he wanted to meet, A-Xuan would use the excuse of not being able to be in public without being mobbed.

Daquan was, of course, a silent spectator, and a pleased one every time he would refuse. It all changed when A-Xuan accepted to go with him to the wrapping party.

Daquan had hired a private detective to research the history between Daoming and Chao. Before he got the result, he had to leave the country. He first wanted to see A-Xuan, so the first thing he did after exiting his plane was run to the set.

But that night, he looked at the file he had received, and the amount of guilt he felt doubled. He learned about the history between their parent, the university, and how Chao thought that A-Xuan knew all about it.

Based on the talk he had with A-Xuan, he knows that he didn’t know either, but Chao seems to think so. He wanted to deal with all of it for him, but A-Xuan ordered him to stay out of it.

He already hates him, and he doesn’t want things to be worse. He had someone keep an eye on him and found out about his plan.

"I will never let anyone humiliate or lay a hand on him ever again," he thought. He had someone follow and protect him from the shadows.

A-Xuan dressed and left home. In front of his gate was a car, the back door opened, and Muyun got out.

He walked to A-Xuan and hugged him while saying with a smile, "Hey, you look handsome."

A-Xuan smiled shyly, and as his cheeks reddened, he said, "Thank you, you too."

Muyun’s eyes darkened as he said that. Even though he was paid to sleep with him, he has to admit that he is very much to his taste. He loves how easily he blushes; it just makes him want to make him do it in a different situation...

Muyun smiled and pulled his hand to get in the car. They reached the hotel and entered the ballroom. The room was huge, with a bar on the left and a buffet on the right.

There were multiple tables scattered, and a large dancefloor with people dancing on it. Muyun locked eyes with Chao and gave him a knowing look. Daquan was in the back, keeping an eye out.

A-Xuan looked at him and said softly, "Can we go to the bar?"

Muyun watched him blink his beautiful eyes and fell into a trance. A-Xuan smiled and pulled him by the hand to the bar. When they reached the bar, they both ordered, and A-Xuan, still holding his hand, walked to Chao.

Chao looked at him coming his way expressionlessly. He can pretend if it means getting rid of him for good.

He watched as A-Xuan said, "I know that you don’t like me, but I just wanted to say thank you for getting me the role. I wouldn’t have gotten this huge International commercial, became ambassador of Chanel, or..."

Chao’s face contorted in rage as he listened to all the things he got from working on Spring Kings.

When Chao was tired of listening to him list all his successes, he said, "You’re welcome."

Chao looked at him as A-Xuan smiled and reached above his glass to put his tie back in place. A-Xuan immediately blushed, feeling like what he did was inappropriate and said, "Sorry, your tie was crooked."

Chao smiled and said before finishing his glass and leaving, "It’s fine."

A-Xuan smirked, watching his retreating back. Enjoy your drink. He grabbed Muyun’s hand and led him to the corner. Daquan watched with squinted eyes, he walked wanting to follow, but his cellphone rang, and he went to take it.

A-Xuan brought Muyun to a secluded corner and ordered, "Look into my eyes."

Muyun looked into his eyes, and A-Xuan asked, "What do you see in them?"

"Stars."

A-Xuan ordered, "You will go and bring Chao to the room initially reserved for me. You’ll have sex with him, leaving plenty of traces on his body. As soon as you’re done, throw away all the clothes, covers, sheets, and sleep. The next day when reporters come, tell them that he fell into his trap and that he paid you to sleep with me and be caught by them. Show them all the proofs. When you reach the police station, plead guilty to your crimes."

Muyun nodded and left. A-Xuan watched as he picked up a seemingly blacked-out Chao and entered the elevator. He smiled mischievously.

Tomorrow Chao will be the one running out of the room followed by the paparazzi, except that he’ll be buck naked. A-Xuan left the party, making sure his secret guards knew he went home alone.

He knows his baby is worried and doesn’t dare to do anything for fear of pushing him away further. He can’t just go and say, "I love you, we’re fine," because he can’t break character.

The good thing about the first two worlds is that A-Xiang was so withdrawn that no one knew for sure his true personality, and A-Yuan was a loner.

But Daoming had always been shy and introverted; it takes a lot for him to speak his mind. Like going to Daquan’s office to ask to be released from his contract was overwhelmingly difficult for him.

Chao woke up feeling cold. He reached around to pull the covers but instead felt someone. Then, completely awake, he heard a lot of voices shouting questions.

He opened his eyes and looked at the scene, horrified. There were at least 20 men and women. He looked around and saw that he was in the royal suite.

He recognized it because he was the one who booked it so there would be enough room to bring as many paparazzi and reporters as possible. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Chao looked at his side and saw Muyun sleeping. He shook him, yelling, "Where are my clothes?" He had no idea how he ended up in this situation, but now was not the time; he was naked. He looked around but couldn’t find his clothes or even a sheet to cover himself.

"What the hell happened? This should be A-Xuan instead of me. I brought these reporters for him!" he thought.

Muyun looked at one of the reporters and answered after he asked what happened. "It was supposed to be A-Xuan instead of Chao. He put this plan in place to take him down."

Chao looked terrified as Muyun got up, showing their conversation to the reporter who filmed all of it. He got down from the bed and stumbled when he felt his knees weaken.

The paparazzi immediately swarmed him, and he pushed them to run away. Half followed him as he got in a cab. The whole hotel was stunned beyond words, and all the people who recognized him filmed everything.

Muyun stayed in the room, talking to the rest and explaining the reason Chao was after Daoming. When the reporter asked him how Chao ended up in this place, he said that he got drunk and dragged him to the room, forgetting about his plan.

He told how he agreed to have sex with him, plus the money if he did this. He talked about how he felt guilty about forcing A-Xuan to have sex with him since he kept rejecting him.

He showed the text where he told him he only saw him as a friend and nothing else. The reporters were shocked about how he was basically admitting to a crime and showing all the proofs.

When Muyun was done talking, multiple police officers came in, putting him under arrest and took his cell phone as evidence. They first gave him clothes and led him to the police station. There, he immediately pleaded guilty.

Chao reached home trembling with rage. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. After putting on clothes, he grabbed a computer and looked at the news.

A reporter had posted live the confession of Muyun. What the fuck? A-Xuan was clearly willing, he didn’t have to force him. How did he know why I was after him?

He watched as he showed them the texts they exchanged where he said to do whatever had to be done. After seeing Muyun being handcuffed and brought to the police station, he tossed his computer on the floor.

Muyun said that he promised to have sex with him too when he never said that. He can’t understand how things ended this way. He only drank a glass of champagne; he is always careful with that at those kinds of parties.

How did this happen? Now the whole world knows that I’ve been sabotaging A-Xuan since the beginning because of what happened to mom! He picked up the cracked computer and went to check Weibo.

His name was trending, and when he clicked, he looked at the screen incredulously. Someone had leaked pictures of him sleeping with that old, sleazy president of that press company with their conversation.

You could see them making a deal, sex for articles to ruin A-Xuan’s reputation. He looked further down and saw proofs of his relationship with the three other presidents and pictures of him in bed. This is all over.
