[An obscure actress from the lowest tier who slays with her looks x A CEO who goes all in for love and plays favorites]
[A sweet showbiz romance, secret crush, mutual devotion]
Xia Lan, an obscure actress from the lowest tier, was packed off to a dating livestream to serve as a pretty background prop.
She could earn money while enjoying the gossip and shipping couples on the spot. What could be better?
On the first day of filming, everyone shook hands politely. A certain idol-drama heartthrob thought: She's still just like she was in college. She actually shook everyone's hand just to shake mine.
The kitchen was always a battleground on dating shows. While an award-winning actor and a famous young actress flirted and bickered, Xia Lan watched the fun from the corner, her eyes darting as she munched on snacks. Then the actor came over with an apron. [You don't have to be so formal and call me Teacher Yan. If it's you, I hope you'll call me by my full name.]
On a variety show, if you don't want to catch feelings or get criticized, you have to pick a safe option. Xia Lan knew that.
But just as Xia Lan thought she was the safe option, coasting through the show, her entire worldview shattered on the day a new guest joined.
The new male guest not only had the same name as the male lead in the novel she'd written under her secret identity, but also looked and sounded exactly like him!
After that, the dating show got stranger and stranger.
A perfectly ordinary date turned into a date with three people.
When she needed to go shopping, the male guests fought over who got to go.
She was supposed to be an invisible pretty prop, so why was she caught up in every love triangle?
As Xia Lan coasted along, she gradually realized that all their earlier bickering had actually been because of her.
