Lu Yuzhou doesn't trust people who put on a gentle persona. He's spent seven years filming animals and is convinced people can lie.
He took this show to expose the act, especially Wen Yining's. She's known nationwide for her gentle image and has a spotless reputation. He can't wait to see how long she can keep it up.
Seven days later, he still hasn't seen her crack. Instead, he gets a bowl of noodles, a cup of black coffee, and a remark that leaves him flustered: "When you film me, your fingers shake."
He says he doesn't care, but then spends the whole day watching from a corner of the set. She brings water to the lighting crew, helps the stagehands move boxes, adds cooking wine to Shen Du's dish, and treats everyone equally.
He's so jealous he can hardly stand it, yet he insists on walking away with a cold expression. Then he secretly signs a contract for an ocean-going fishing boat project.
Stay away from her for three months. If he can't see her, he won't feel jealous.
But before he leaves, beneath the hallway lights, he manages to mumble, "Could you... not be so nice to everyone else?"
Wen Yining smiles. "I've been waiting a long time for you to say that."
After seven days of filming, his shell is shattered.
Then he discovers that beyond the persona, there's something real.
