[Flirty older beauty vs. scheming top-tier star | Dating-show love-rival showdown | Secret crush turns mutual]
The top-tier star secretly follows the new rising star's alt account late at night, yet acts distant on their dating show: “Teacher Yun and I aren't close.” When the whole internet accuses her of clinging to him for publicity, he takes a knife for her during a survival challenge, protects her as they cross dangerous reefs on an island adventure, and pins her against a wall backstage at a red-carpet event. “Call me ‘husband’ once, and I'll crush every trending smear about you.”
Before Heart's Rules even premieres, everyone says Yun Xiyan isn't good enough for Xiao Jingyi.
Then she plays a recording of her obsessive suitor, and during a livestream the star himself confirms, “I'm the one who's been chasing her for three years, and I'm the one going crazy to make our relationship public.”
“Didn't you say we weren't close, Mr. Xiao?” She laughs and tries to escape, but he traps her in his arms with his three gold trophies. “Now I need to teach you how to settle accounts with your husband.”
