[Younger, unhinged male lead x clear-headed queen]
When Lin Xingyao woke up, she had transmigrated into the most useless pretty face on a talent competition show.
The whole internet was waiting for her to embarrass herself, and her rival was waiting for her to quit.
The System issued a mission: “Make top-tier star mentor Gu Chen's heart skip a beat, and earn a god-tier stage aura.”
Lin Xingyao walked straight up to Gu Chen, who'd been scowling the whole time. “Teacher Gu, how about two useless people like us pair up and look after each other's stomachs?”
Gu Chen looked up, his eyes dark as ink. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.
“Do you know where the last person who said I had a weak stomach is now? In my basement, preserved as a specimen.”
Later...
In the practice room, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, his breath brushing her neck. “The way you dance reminds me of someone.”
In the storage room, he pinned her against the door. “Don't go to those dinners. Whatever resources you want, I'll get them for you.”
On a dating show livestream, he snatched her phone and addressed the camera. “Don't call anyone else. My heart is weak. Jealousy could kill me.”
Then the woman who looked exactly like the one in his phone's photo appeared.
Lin Xingyao was brisk and decisive. “The real deal is back. It's time for me, the substitute, to step aside.”
That night, Gu Chen climbed onto the balcony of her thirty-second-floor apartment, his voice hoarse and trembling.
“That woman is an actress I hired for a million yuan. I just wanted to see if you'd get jealous over me.”
“Lin Xingyao, you've been the only one in my memories from the very beginning.”
“Believe me, or I'll take you over the edge with me. We'll die together and be together forever.”
