A Rising Star in Showbiz Bows to Love
Ambitious third-tier actress x top-tier star who's willing to be used
As a third-tier actress, Zhaoyue naturally isn't content to stay at that level forever.
She wants to climb higher.
But hard work alone isn't enough.
So... at the red carpet of that awards ceremony, she took a risky gamble.
Her first meeting with top-tier star Li Zhisheng was carefully planned by Zhaoyue long in advance. Even her perfect fall on the red carpet was staged.
Knowing he wouldn't just stand by and watch, she dared to take the chance.
And so, to everyone's surprise, she fell right into his arms.
Zhaoyue used Li Zhisheng to generate a tidal wave of buzz online.
On Weibo's trending topics that day, nearly every one featuring Li Zhisheng's name also featured hers.
Once she'd achieved her goal, Zhaoyue flashed a radiant smile. But this was only the beginning.
Afterward, she kept taking opportunities to get close to him as if by accident.
Unfortunately, she was just one step away.
He saw through her plan.
So Zhaoyue thought, might as well go all in. She'd accept whatever happened. After all, although things hadn't gone exactly as she'd hoped, it was good enough.
But Li Zhisheng's answer left her stunned.
He actually agreed to let her use him.
On the condition that they both benefited.
With her prey delivered right to her mouth, she naturally didn't refuse, and accepted with a smile. Sharing the benefits? There was nothing wrong with that.
And so, their intersecting lives became full of scripts and drama.
In public, they were a famous loving couple in showbiz. In private, they were partners sharing the benefits.
What she didn't know was that as their partnership gradually fulfilled her ambitions, her own feelings were quietly shifting toward him...
