[Newly crowned top-tier star × domineering client-side CEO, the fake second-chance romance the whole internet is shipping]
“Rumors spread across the internet that he was being kept,” “They pretend not to know each other on the show,” “The male lead humbly begs for a proper title,” “A secret crush on both sides finally comes into the open”
Lin Zilan was inexplicably rumored to be someone’s kept man. Furious, he went to his agent to find out who started it. After digging around, they discovered
Li Sui: “I’m the one keeping you? So the rich woman in the rumor was me all along.”
Lin Zilan: “...Well, there’s not much I can do about that.”
On a variety show, he exposed her in front of the entire internet: “We met three years ago, by the sea in Shancheng.”
Li Sui pretended not to know him, but he kept closing in, step by step.
On the final day of filming, Li Sui made the first move: “Twenty meals to settle this once and for all.”
Lin Zilan: “No backsies!”
[The road to winning her back is long. He humbly begs her to make their relationship official, while she treats him like an “invisible” tool?]
Lin Zilan complained, “Am I really that embarrassing to be seen with?”
He pursued her all the way into her home, only to be mocked by his dad when he got back: “Still haven’t won her over?”
Lin Zilan was dejected. “CEO Li won’t give me a title...”
With rumors flying all over the internet, he was desperate to make their relationship public.
Then his parents stepped in. Kid, you’re still too green.
Later, when she told him he could announce it whenever he wanted, he became evasive. “Honey, about going public... let’s work it out in private instead.”
# Female lead focused on her career + male lead throwing himself at her + a little payback against scumbags + sweet romance #
I like it, the pace is slow and delicate, I have collected this book.
