[The aloof, untouchable top-tier star × the dazzling, mixed-race newcomer with a notorious reputation]
(Part One)
Li Lezhi has a face that looks remarkably like Lu Xiaoyan, the daughter of an award-winning actor. They could pass for twins, sharing about seventy percent of the same features.
After returning to China, everyone treated her like Lu Xiaoyan’s shadow.
She couldn’t be bothered to explain. Instead, she entered an open audition for a film by a renowned director, fought her way to the final round, and won the role of the fox spirit heroine on her own merits.
The real problem was that her costar was the top-tier star Gu Shen.
A child star turned actor, he was cool and taciturn, never playing up fictional pairings with costars and never involved in scandals.
The whole internet assumed that only his childhood friend Lu Xiaoyan was special to him.
But after filming began, Gu Shen, who had always kept his distance from actresses, repeatedly went out of his way to get close to Li Lezhi.
The stranger his behavior became, the more viciously she was attacked: accused of copying Lu Xiaoyan’s looks for attention, riding on Gu Shen’s popularity, and using the film to manufacture a romantic pairing.
Later, an old photo from twelve years ago resurfaced.
A young Gu Shen was carrying a sleeping little girl away from an awards ceremony.
Everyone went wild shipping them: Gu Shen and Lu Xiaoyan really had been childhood sweethearts!
Until Gu Shen interrupted the host in front of the cameras:
“The girl in the photo is Li Lezhi.”
“Please stop mistaking her for someone else.”
That night, Weibo crashed.
The whole internet: ???!!!
We shipped the wrong people?!!!!
(Part Two)
Five years ago, Li Lezhi saw the words “kissing scene” in Gu Shen’s script for the first time.
On the day of filming, she ran onto the set. “Brother Gu Shen, I don’t want you to kiss anyone else on camera.”
Then she kissed him through her tears.
Gu Shen froze, then pulled away a moment later. “Lezhi, I’m your big brother.”
The next day, she flew to England.
Five years later, when they met again on set, the girl who used to chase after him, calling him “Brother Gu Shen,” would only address him politely as “Mr. Gu.”
For their first kissing scene, Gu Shen chose to use camera angles to make it look like they were kissing.
Li Lezhi thought, So he really doesn’t want to kiss me.
But that night, he cornered her in the hotel corridor. “It’s not that I don’t want to.”
Li Lezhi didn’t believe him.
Gu Shen lowered his head and kissed her, almost losing control.
“That day, I couldn’t kiss you.”
“But what I regret is letting you leave with those words ringing in your ears for five years.”

Lu Xun finally chose to disclose his past... But even if he did it with full apology, what was the use? The damage caused could not be undone, and his greed for both wanting and wanting left him with nothing in the end. It was his selfishness that contributed to this irreparable situation step by step. Lezhi would not forgive this cold-blooded man who had hidden them for more than twenty years because of this indifferent apology. And even if there is no Lu Xun, I believe that grandpa chose to hold a press conference, which means there is solid evidence. What Lu Xun did was just to make up for the situation. But let's not mention these things. I believe that from now on, our little couple will sail through the mountains in a light boat, and we will be in love sweetly from now on!
Finally! With a Luoyang shovel, all the old memories are brought out to bask in the sun! I want to see what role Lu Xun played and what he did in this (positive collar) (preparing for court)
Looking forward to the next development 😍😍😍[Orange Candy] has arrived
I really like the sentence "Before I found it out on the Internet, I didn't know what people would think was special"! Because whether they were childhood sweethearts or young lovers, Gu Shen and Le Zhi have always been the most special existences for each other. All preferences and specialties are exclusive to each other~ so much so that Le Zhi has become accustomed to it! (Is this considered "boiling a frog in warm water"? [Spread flowers])
Grandpa's two short sentences gave people a strong sense of security www [hug the thigh], but Lu Xun was still as irritating as ever [Eh~]
It was done so gently, I could see my aunt smiling. Gu Shen finally ate the lychee~ Le Zhiye: You've come here, why don't you eat it? Me: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. !! (Cyclone inhalation)
Congratulations on the official completion! The green plums are ripe, and I know that the cp in the extra story has finally turned from astringent to sweet!
Finally got some time to taste the extras! [Let me be healthy]
Will there be a marriage or baby chapter?
Finished spreading flowers ~ [Spreading Flowers] also wishes us a sweet couple every day! [Three-flowered cat head]
