[A director with a sharp tongue and a soft heart, famed for box-office hits × a clear-headed, hilariously eccentric icon of beauty]
When a ridiculous dating rumor turns into a real-life romance series, the entire entertainment industry becomes their biggest fan!
[How They Met]
Seven years ago, during a downpour in Hengdian, Xu Si pressed a red cord into the hand of a young extra drenched in sticky vegetable soup. “I got it at the temple. The old monk said it grants your wishes.”

#ZhouMuSpottedWithAnInnocentRisingStarLateAtNight# shot to the top of the trending list. In the photo, someone was getting their head patted, and the gossip-hungry masses all mistook them for the D-list actress Xu Si. “That delicate, innocent look has to be her!”
Freshly dumped, Xu Si gnawed on duck neck and sneered. “I just got dumped, and now I have to take the blame for some capitalist too? What a drag!”
Who knew her agency would respond at lightning speed: The photo’s blurry, so it’s hard to tell~
To clear up the rumors, Zhou Mu Shen arranged to meet Xu Si. He opened the door and found a dazzling beauty who looked elegant as she sipped her coffee, but was actually trying to hide her socks. Then came a sharp “ding”
He looked down to see one of her red press-on nails land perfectly in front of his handmade Italian leather shoe.
He gave her a villain’s role, then watched with his own eyes as the “greenhouse jasmine” slowly transformed into a thorny wild rose.
[The Ultimate Romance]
He eats luosifen with Xu Si and listens to her painful past. He sees the murderous look in her eyes when she acts, then watches her make up fairy tales with glow sticks for her autistic younger brother after filming.
During a variety show, a sudden downpour hits. Zhou Mu Shen takes her by the wrist, and the faded red cord is still wrapped around his palm. “You said wearing it would make your wish come true.” His gaze burns into hers. “Xu Si, I’ve already gotten what I wished for. Now I’m asking for you.”
