Also known as The Contract Girlfriend of a Sugar Daddy Who Loves to Flirt
To get revenge on her scumbag ex and her backstabbing best-friend-turned-mistress, minor actress Xu Ran is reborn and vows to become a thoroughly sweet-on-the-outside, scheming-on-the-inside woman. With her cool beauty, an alluring yet innocent charm she doesn't even realize she has, and a burning desire for fame that makes her willing to risk everything, she wins over Gu Yan, the flirty actor who was a rising top-tier star in her previous life. They pretend to be lovers and even sign a contract to make it official.
But she can't understand why Gu Yan, still a notorious playboy in this life, has become the director who personally teaches her everything, and even the powerful sugar daddy backing her career.
Xu Ran: “Mr. Gu, remember, we're only contract lovers.”
Gu Yan: “Relax. I won't fall for you.”
Then who was the one kissing her over and over yesterday, refusing to let go?
He answers with a perfectly straight face: “I was just teaching you how to act.”
Xu Ran wants to cry. She'd made up her mind not to fall for a scumbag again in this life!
A sweet, flirtatious showbiz power fantasy with a rising heroine. Not a marriage-first, love-later story: they're contract lovers. A gentle, pure-looking beauty who is sweet on the outside and scheming underneath x a seemingly frivolous, actually devoted, scheming CEO who fiercely protects his own. One-on-one romance, both leads have eyes for each other alone, with a slow-burn push and pull. The heroine levels up from an innocent little bunny to a master flirt, and from an obscure extra to a top-tier star and award-winning actress. Includes rebirth and revenge, secret identity reveals, contract lovers, pretending to be in love until it becomes real, love rivals, healing, and everyone doting on the heroine. (Note: the heroine is sweet on the outside and scheming underneath, not a black-hearted schemer; the title can't be changed now.)
[Reading Guide] The story has three plotlines: (1) Career: fast-paced, brainless fun, with a face-slapping mini-arc every three chapters; (2) Romance: plenty of subtle sweet moments, with the male lead's hidden storyline unfolding over a longer stretch; (3) Revenge: concentrated mainly in the later part of the story.
