[He chases her after losing her + each other’s first love + two powerful leads in showbiz + bickering couple]
A money-minded, sunny little troublemaker x a socially awkward academic genius who charges into the entertainment industry
“We are like a string in each other’s universes, conveying love and emotion through resonance and vibration.”, String theory.
Also known as: I watched my ex-girlfriend act lovey-dovey from the audience, and after she became a star, my ex-boyfriend became my second male lead.
Ever since Jiang Hao entered the entertainment industry, she’d been plagued by bad reviews: “fake-sweet voice,” “attention-seeker,” “scene-stealer”... The nastiest post by a hater had over a hundred thousand replies. When everyone was waiting to laugh at her, she said, “What’s wrong with being famous for being hated? Famous is famous!”
Then a variety show suddenly changed everyone’s opinion of her. The comments became, “She’s so cute, baby!” and “Can’t Jiang Hao be my daughter?”... When work offers started pouring in, Jiang Hao finally realized she’d become famous?! Money was coming in! Work was practically throwing itself at her!
Just as Jiang Hao had sworn off romance and prepared to charge ahead with her dream of becoming a career-focused leading lady, the aloof academic genius who’d dumped her in high school became the second male lead in her new drama!
“Zhang Jialing? Is the academic world really that competitive now?”
Later, Zhang Jialing clung to her like a piece of sticky tape and wouldn’t let go. “Jiang Hao, let’s get back together!”
Jiang Hao was completely baffled. She stared at Zhang Jialing’s harmless-looking face and timidly said, “Let’s make money first!”
