Female Star X Capitalist
The contract started, fouling in both directions.
At a cocktail party after a private film festival, the actress got her wish and was doused with red wine. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to get a new one." No one helped her until Pei Zhixu came over and handed her a handkerchief.
Later she found out that he was the founder of Yuanshan Capital and the eldest grandson of the Pei family in Beijing. He recommended her to be the second female lead in a major production, but she made three appointments before arriving at his office in ten minutes. However, before he could say thank you, he handed over a contract - resources were available, but he wanted a private relationship that did not involve emotions. Nod if you agree, and no problem if you refuse.
She nodded.
They think they can figure it all out. Until she found a bottle of her usual hand cream on the bedside, until he brought the roasted sweet potatoes she casually mentioned on the way, until she called him drunk after failing the audition, and he walked across half of Beijing to pick her up, only asking if her feet were cold.
He hides all his tenderness in "by chance" and "by the way". There is a painting in the study drawer that has been written for many years - Everything is like her. There are more than 300 blurred pictures of her in the phone, and the folder is called Date of First Meeting. In the three years since he registered on Weibo, he has only followed one person and never posted a single message.
She is not a fool. She was just like him, waiting for the other person to speak first.
This is a slow-burn story. There are no misunderstandings or sadomasochism, just two smart people repeatedly testing the boundaries between rules and heartbeats, slowly approaching the edge of restraint and loss of control. From a handkerchief to a changed calligraphy, they changed an agreement that did not involve emotions into an answer that was full of evidence.
Intention: All rules are meant to be broken by the heartbeat. Love is not a promise on the lips, but a choice hidden in the details. I hope that all those who are waiting for love can wait for the person who has stood outside the light for a long time.
