Three years after their breakup, Jian Yin’s ex-boyfriend became the youngest award-winning actor in the industry, while she sank to the very bottom of the celebrity food chain.
She thought they would never cross paths again, but the drama they filmed three years ago suddenly became a huge hit overnight. The whole internet went wild shipping her and the award-winning actor over their long-expired on-screen romance, and their couple hashtag swept the trending charts.
Under the spotlight, they were the beloved Soulmate Couple blessed by millions, acting intimate and exchanging glances.
Behind the lights, they were ex-lovers who had to carefully consider every word before even greeting each other.
To avoid paying a massive penalty for breaking her contract, Jian Yin had no choice but to step back into Ji Yanzhi’s orbit, fulfill the contract, and start playing up their relationship in person.
On a variety show, Ji Yanzhi’s gaze was deep as he drew her stiff body into his arms amid the crowd’s teasing. He whispered in her ear, his voice audible only to the two of them.
“Try to look a little more professional, Ms. Jian. Everyone’s watching.”
Her heart skipped a beat, but he smiled gently for the cameras, as if weaving their most tender memories into a net from which she could not escape.
