[Dominant Female Author + Puppy-Like Male Actor + 1v1 + Sweet Romance]
Shi Wan is choosing the male lead for her final novel. A writer picking the lead actor for her own male protagonist is, without a doubt, just like choosing a consort for her harem.
With her unstoppable scumbag ex-boyfriend coming at her from the front, and a pure-hearted, puppy-like young man fighting tooth and nail to win her over from behind.
Shi Wan says, "He'll throw money at it."
Ji Yu says, "I've got looks."
Shi Wan says, "He's got both acting skills and star power."
Ji Yu says, "I've got both abs and pecs."
Shi Wan says, "He debuted before you, and his fan base is more established."
Ji Yu says, "I'm younger than him, and I've got more stamina."
Men have gold beneath their knees, but when Shi Wan speaks, Ji Yu listens on his knees.
He gets down on both knees to beg Shi Wan to let him play the male lead, and on one knee to beg her to let him marry into her family.
After three years of pursuing her relentlessly, Ji Yu finally manages to stand up on one leg.
