[One-on-One] [Single Couple] [Happy Ending] [Mutual Secret Crush] [Entertainment Industry] [Powerful CEO]
Yao Xiao, an actress known in the entertainment industry for her dramas languishing unreleased, stakes everything on a comeback. Without telling her husband, whom she married for an alliance, she joins her childhood friend on the hit reality show "Love Transit."
On the day filming begins, the last male guest to arrive leaves her stunned.
Can someone tell her why her secret husband, Gu Buyan, is here too?
But what chills her heart is that his gaze stays on another female guest throughout the show.
So he came for his "ex-girlfriend"? She gives a self-deprecating smile and decides to play along. They'll stay out of each other's way and each put on an act.
Soon, the whole internet is celebrating and shipping two couples:
She and her childhood friend are "Old Dreams Rekindled."
He and the female guest are "Second Chances Are Priceless."
Until the livestream cuts off unexpectedly one night.
In an empty hallway, Gu Buyan traps her against the wall, anger held in his cool voice:
"Flirting with someone else for a publicity pairing?"
"Mrs. Gu, have you forgotten who your lawful husband is?"
Before Yao Xiao can react, the dramas that had stalled her career are miraculously approved, scheduled, and released one after another, becoming hits.
Her manager is overjoyed. "Xiaoxiao, what kind of luck are you having? A top-tier investor is clearing the way for you!"
At the celebratory banquet, guests mingle over drinks.
His special assistant respectfully reports in a low voice, "President Gu, as you instructed, all of Miss Yao's stalled projects are back on track."
He nods faintly, but his gaze cuts through the crowd and settles on her laughing and chatting with her childhood friend.
Then he takes out his phone in front of everyone and calls her.
His deep voice carries through the hubbub, clear in her ears and in the childhood friend's suddenly frozen gaze beside her:
"Baby, I'm drunk."
"Come get your husband and take him home."
