A supporting actress x a cool, powerful tycoon. On a dating show, she's the only one holding a script.
Xu Tang, a minor actress with no roles for three years, is so broke she can barely pay rent.
A contract lands in her lap: join the hit dating show Heartbeat Mask as a "scripted guest," acting out a romance according to a script, for a six-figure fee.
Easy work, good money, and a chance to ride the wave of publicity. Xu Tang signs in a flash, thinking, This gig should be easy money.
Then everything goes wrong on day one.
Top-tier star Su Qingyuan makes a surprise appearance and announces in front of everyone that she's there to win someone back. And the person she's pursuing is the most intimidating man there: Shen Yanchuan, whose face looks "expensive even in casual clothes" and whose eyes seem able to see right through people.
That night, back at the villa, he corners her in the kitchen and asks with a knowing smile:
"You... have a script?"
Xu Tang: ...
From then on, the love triangle descends into complete chaos.
The woman he once loved schemes desperately to get back together with him, but the harder she tries, the more futile it becomes. Xu Tang tries to dodge the situation while keeping up her on-camera persona, fully aware of what's going on and determined not to cross the line.
But somehow...
The man who claims he can see through everything finds his heart racing more and more as they spend time together.
They said she'd get paid to put on an act. So how did the most clear-headed person end up falling first?
