Wasn’t This Supposed to Be Just for Show?

[Two male leads + wealthy-family CEO + equally matched leads + fake feelings turning real + intense push and pull + healing + perfect match + happy ending]

Ambitious, scheming pursuer & wise, easygoing pursued

A love that starts as pretense and becomes sincere.

Yan Zheng has had just one mission all his life: defeat Sheng Zhao and take back Lanhai.

He has stopped at nothing and schemed relentlessly to achieve that goal.

After seven years of enduring humiliation and biding his time, he can finally see victory on the horizon.

But then he happens to meet Shen Zhiyue, who is as close as a brother to Sheng Zhao. Love blossoms amid open conflict and hidden schemes, and affection takes root in their sharp-tongued sparring.

When lying becomes a habit, sincerity feels like a high-stakes gamble. Both believe they see the world clearly and won’t let love weigh them down. But when falsehood becomes truth and truth becomes falsehood, after playing a part for so long, they can no longer tell the difference themselves.

---“Yan Zheng, tell a lie often enough and it becomes true.”

An emphatically mutual romance with one side falling much harder!!
