[Two male leads + wealthy family alliance marriage + entertainment industry + childhood friends and rivals to lovers + sweet romance and mutual flirting]
A cool, aloof beauty with a wicked streak, the bottom × a seemingly domineering but actually pure-hearted, loyal puppy of a top
Pei Xin and Ye Qingxu are famous for never being seen together: one is a top-tier actor, the other a top-tier singer. They trade barbs whenever they meet, and their fans fight with each other. It’s become the norm.
While everyone thinks they can’t stand each other, Ye Qingxu has quietly begun his relentless pursuit:
He takes on a film’s theme song and changes his style completely just to get closer;
He waits outside Pei Xin’s apartment, brings him breakfast in the morning, and moves in next door just to smooth things over.
Pei Xin: What new disgusting trick is he trying to pull on me?
Then both sets of parents inform them that they’re engaged
Pei Xin, expressionless: It’s a business arrangement, just for show. We won’t interfere in each other’s lives.
Ye Qingxu retorts on the surface, “As if I’d want you.” In truth, his longtime crush has finally come true.
After the engagement, he only turns it up a notch: Ye Qingxu makes a high-profile appearance at the film’s wrap party, personally drives over with flowers to pick Pei Xin up in front of everyone, and declares his claim on him.
He hears a potential rival will be filming a slow-paced variety show with Pei Xin? He swoops in to join the cast, leaving the director trembling with fear.
Pei Xin has always been forced to accept Ye Qingxu’s advances, but gradually discovers that his old nemesis’s persistence is making him fall for him. Is this man’s body really that tempting? He’s starting to crave a taste...
Pei Xin’s lips curl into a faint smile. Since he’s fallen for him, he might as well make the first move and get his hands on him. Seeing the flustered look on the man’s face as he teases him only makes Pei Xin find him more amusing.
Later, when he realizes he’s taken the teasing too far and can’t handle it anymore, he simply reaches for the excuse of their marriage contract.
“Darling,” Ye Qingxu pins him against the mirror. “Don’t you think it’s a little late to bring up our agreement now?”
