Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 1

Award ceremony venue.

The shimmering river of stars from the dome scattered across the stage, as radiant as the sun and moon, with starlight glittering brilliantly. On this grand night that gathered the top celebrities of the entertainment industry, it wove a romance of cosmic proportions.

In a corner of the side stage.

Wen Shiwu, dressed in her gown, slipped in unnoticed.

Holding her bag, she peered left and right.

After confirming she had truly evaded all the staff and successfully sneaked behind the side curtain, the best spot to capture her idol’s divine visuals, without her agent’s knowledge.

She gleefully pulled out her camera.

Just as she was about to adjust the settings,

At that very moment.

Her camera bag suddenly vibrated!

“Bzzz!”

Wen Shiwu, who had been unable to suppress her smile just moments before, instantly stiffened with tension.

She quickly took out her phone, turned down the volume, and answered the call: “Shh, shh, shh… Xian-jie, hello?”

“Wen Shiwu!”

A roar reminiscent of a lioness erupted from the other end of the line.

Wen Shiwu flinched, her petite frame trembling. She hurriedly covered the receiver but could still hear her agent’s near-hysterical roar:

“Did you fall into the toilet while going to the bathroom?””

“It’s almost your turn to go on stage and receive your award!”

“I’m warning you, even if you have to cut it short, you get back here right now! Where are you???”

Wen Shiwu held her camera with one hand.

Faced with her agent’s outburst, she curved her deer-like eyes, sparkling like the Milky Way, into a sweet smile: “Hehe…”

“Then I’ll tell you, but you can’t get mad, okay?”

Wen Shiwu blinked, confessing in a coquettish tone: “I’m at the side stage~”

Lin Yixian was so furious she felt smoke coming out of her ears. Pacing outside the venue in her high heels, her gritted teeth already betraying her rage: “The side stage???”

“Wen Shiwu! Do you even remember you’re a female star here to receive the Most Popular Actress award today?”

“You actually dared to sneak off with your camera, in your gown, under the pretense of going to the bathroom, and now you’re fan-girling at the side stage where so many people are watching??!!”

“If anyone finds out you’re secretly Yu Zheng’s top fan, you’re dead, Wen Shiwu!!!”

Wen Shiwu’s attitude was extremely placating.

“Don’t be mad, Xian-jie,” she pleaded in a clear, sweet voice, soft and coaxing. “This is the first time he’s agreed to attend an award ceremony in person since his debut four years ago! It’s such a rare opportunity!”

“Please, please, please~”

Wen Shiwu mentally pressed her palms together in prayer: “I promise! I promise I won’t miss going on stage to get my award! Once I snap a shot of his god-tier looks, I’ll come right back!”

Lin Yixian was so angry she nearly rolled her eyes to the back of her head.

Just then, the starlight-like stage lights suddenly shifted. The previous celebrity, having finished their acceptance speech, bowed and left the stage with their award.

The large screen lit up abruptly!

Extremely luxurious black and gold font flew onto the screen alongside the host’s announcement: “Next, we will reveal the winner of the Starlight Awards’ Singer of the Year!”

Wen Shiwu’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

She was so excited she nearly jumped: “Ahhh, my husband! It’s my husband’s turn next, just as I thought!”

Lin Yixian raged: “Wen, Shi-”

Wen Shiwu flustered: “I’ve got to go, Xian-jie! My husband is about to go on stage to receive his award! I promise I’ll come back right after I take the photos! No one will spot me! Bye, bye, bye!”

With that, she swiftly ended the call.

Lin Yixian took a deep breath and closed her eyes, ready to unleash another wave of furious curses, but the relentless dial tone flooded her ears:

“Beep, beep!”

Furious, she hurled her phone onto the sofa and yanked the bunny tail grass out of the flowerpot by its roots. “Damn it!”

Did that woman think she could smooth things over just because she was pretty, had a sweet voice, and knew how to act cute?

It was infuriating!

…

But Wen Shiwu had no time to worry about her agent’s anger.

Compared to that, she cared more about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture her idol’s godlike beauty up close.

Wen Shiwu was so excited her heart felt like it might leap out of her chest.

Eagerly, she raised her camera, expertly adjusting the settings to best complement his striking, noble features, then focused all her attention on the stage.

The host announced, “I declare! The singer who has won the title of Annual Song God at the 24th Starlight Awards is…”

“Yu Zheng!”

His name was announced with resounding force.

In an instant, the stage lights burst into brilliance, so dazzling that they seemed to spill into Wen Shiwu’s eyes.

She lifted her gaze.

Cool-toned halos blended with the blue silk curtains hanging from the dome, and a tall, elegant figure in black stepped onto the award platform, treading upon a galaxy of starlight designed for the stage.

Wen Shiwu tried to calm her racing heart.

She quickly adjusted the focus, preparing to capture a close-up of Yu Zheng’s breathtaking face, only to find him turning his gaze slightly in her direction at that very moment.

Caught completely off guard.

That face, which dominated the aesthetic standards of the entire entertainment industry, met her eyes through the lens.

Wen Shiwu was so stunned she forgot to breathe.

For a moment, she even forgot to press the shutter.

All she could feel was that pair of peach-blossom eyes, described as profoundly fateful and effortlessly captivating, fluttering with long, thick lashes, meeting hers through the lens under the sparkling starlight.

And in the close-up view, it almost seemed as if he were leaning in, about to lower his gaze and kiss her…

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Wen Shiwu’s cheeks flushed, her heartbeat quickening.

Fortunately, Yu Zheng didn’t seem to notice her stealthy photography. He soon averted his gaze, held the trophy, leaned slightly toward the microphone, and flashed a bold, unrestrained smile that lifted the corners of his eyes and brows.

The most coveted voice among the younger generation in the domestic music scene resonated low and seductively throughout the auditorium:

“For the rest of my life, I’ll seize the day and meet you at the peak.”

“Hello everyone, I am Yu Zheng.”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Immediately, screams from the audience and glowing light signs erupted, threatening to lift the roof off the venue.

“Ahhh, help!”

Wen Shiwu’s blood felt like it was boiling. She snapped photo after photo of Yu Zheng. “Who else gets it?! That waist, those legs, that face, that raw magnetism… he just looks like he’s begging to be slept with!!!”

So worth it!

Whimpering inwardly, she thought sneaking in to take these shots was absolutely worth it!

Her emotions surging, Wen Shiwu wanted to capture a few more close-ups of his Adam’s apple, which seemed to radiate intense desire.

But,

Her excited heart and trembling hands betrayed her.

Just as she was about to readjust the settings for an extreme close-up, her finger accidentally brushed the shutter: “Click!”

A sudden, unexpected flash went off.

In that instant.

Wen Shiwu’s spine stiffened. Panicked, she hid the camera behind her back and stared blankly toward the stage.

The flash had been far too bright.

Yu Zheng was drawn by it and turned to look in her direction, his eyes unexpectedly meeting hers, no longer separated by the lens.

Gaze pierced through the deep blue, cool-toned stage light beams, hazily and indistinctly converging amidst the drifting strings of starry lights.

The next second.

A staff member’s voice rang out: “Someone! There’s a sasaeng fan taking photos at the side stage! Catch her!!!”
