On the outside: mysterious, aloof, and in total control, a business tycoon.
On the inside: Why hasn't she come to touch my horns yet? I'm dying here! Anyone online?
Lin Xi, a low-ranking actress, picks up a ridiculously handsome stranger who keeps insisting they "make a pact."
A pact it is, then. He's handsome, and he can help her deal with the trouble in showbiz. It's a win-win.
But gradually, she realizes this big shot seems a little... different from what he lets on?
He says aloud, "Mortal, do not come too close to me."
His inner monologue: Her spiritual energy feels so wonderful. Just a little closer, just a tiny bit... Don't let your tail start wagging on its own!
When he sees her filming a kissing scene, his face turns colder than ice, as if the sky were falling.
His inner monologue: How dare a mere mortal?! No, I need to find a way to stop this "according to the rules"... Hmm, that cloud is about to rain.
When someone bullies her, he makes them disappear with a snap of his fingers.
Then he corners her against a wall, the corners of his eyes red and his dragon horns faintly pink. "I used forbidden magic for you, sacrificing a thousand years of cultivation... Tonight, you owe me an extra hour of cuddling."
Later, Lin Xi finally wins the Best Actress award.
On the night of the ceremony, the man wraps his tail around her and pulls her into his arms. His voice by her ear is both petulant and domineering:
"Now the whole world knows you're mine. So, can I apply for a double dose of spiritual energy tonight?"

★ He seems cold and domineering on the outside, but he's a loyal, clingy puppy at heart. His emotions show in his dragon horns and tail (wagging like a pinwheel or turning pink with jealousy)!
★ The female lead is independent and self-reliant, absolutely not
