Qiao Mai, a B-list actress, joins a dating reality show to clear the name of a villainous movie emperor. She thinks her task is to play the lovesick ex-wife, but then the System activates, and she can hear everyone's inner thoughts!
The director tells her to say, "I still love him," but she hears the inner thoughts of her ex-husband, Shen Juan, the movie emperor: [Here she goes again. She's definitely trying to trick me into remarrying her.]
Qiao Mai changes her lines on the spot: "Teacher Shen, I loved you once, but now I love your box office appeal even more. Could you give me a hand with your next film?"
Shen Juan acts aloof, but inside, his thoughts are scrolling by: [She praised my box office appeal? She still has feelings for me!]
From then on, the show goes completely off the rails. While other couples shower each other with affection, Qiao Mai fights Shen Juan over grilled skewers. During the romance segment, everyone else confesses their feelings, while the two of them review their divorce agreement. When Qiao Mai completes her task and prepares to run, the always aloof movie emperor Shen silently hands her a notarized property agreement: "I'll give you all my money. Will you trick me one more time?"
