In the entertainment industry, Gu Yanqiu and Su Ling are notorious sworn enemies.
They compete over roles and awards, and when they cross paths on the red carpet, they never exchange a word. The media always portrays them as utterly incompatible, and their fans' online wars never let up.
No one could have imagined that the two top-tier stars would be forced onto the same girls' dating show as part of a ratings battle between their managers.
They had no choice and nowhere to run. They could only follow the show's script and play lovers gradually falling for each other.
In front of the cameras, they had to stand close, gaze tenderly into each other's eyes, and deliver the script's flirtatious lines. Behind the cameras, they were still their usual combative selves, but now there was an awkwardness and a flutter neither could quite explain.
They resisted, they bristled, and they did everything they could to keep their distance off camera. But the show's relentless pressure, the entire internet watching them closely, and the little moments they shared day and night slowly broke through their hostility.
The romantic scenes in the script, the forced closeness, the private moments no one else noticed: little by little, they pried open each other's guarded hearts.
It turned out that these two people who had once been at each other's throats were soulmates. And the affection they had deliberately pretended to feel became real as they kept acting.
From a screen couple forced to play along to two people willingly choosing each other, this dating show orchestrated by capital ultimately brought to fruition the deep feelings hidden behind their hostility.
Gu Yanqiu and Su Ling won the ratings, and unexpectedly found a love that belonged to them alone.
