Top-tier star Ye Yuchen has such a short temper and such exacting standards that he’s gone through three makeup artists. His skin allergies got so bad that his face was a mess, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.
Lu Wanning, a beauty therapist with a knack for professional skincare, is unexpectedly “snatched up” by him to work as his makeup artist. The pay is triple, but she has to tackle the makeup skills she struggles with most.
And so makeup novice Lu Wanning begins her days under the top-tier star’s sharp tongue:
“Your eyeliner’s as crooked as a caterpillar.”
“Your foundation’s so cakey you could plant rice in it.”
For a while, she wonders if she’s been sent there to survive a trial by fire.
Then she starts making him healthy meals, keeping an eye on him so he’ll quit iced drinks, and bringing him warm mint tea after he argues with the director...
The top-tier star’s barbs gradually turn into, “Your makeup looks all right today,” and, “Try not to let your hand shake next time.”
When sasaeng fans surround them, he immediately shields her and roars, “Don’t touch her!”
When the company pressures her to leave, he confesses to her in front of everyone at a downtown plaza, sending the trending topics into a frenzy: #YeYuchenProtectsHisWife#
Only then does Lu Wanning understand that this short-tempered top-tier star has long since etched her skill and tenderness into his very bones.
As for the fans who say she’s “getting paid to date him”?
She posts before-and-after photos of Ye Yuchen’s skin allergies, along with his year-round skincare and makeup plan:
“My salary comes from my expertise, not dating him.”
(A faint glow by the skin: his salvation from allergies, and her fall into love.)
