Two Female Leads + Hilarious, Sweet Romance + Showbiz
Ruan Tang is a nobody in the entertainment industry, a washed-up actress so obscure she barely registers on the radar. Her greatest ambition in life is to have enough to eat and wear. For a seven-figure paycheck, she “sold” herself to three-time Best Actress Ji Nuannuan and became her lawful contract partner.
On the day they registered their marriage, she couldn’t hold it in and threw up all over the top-tier star’s three-million-yuan custom designer outfit.
Ji Nuannuan: ...Can I get a divorce?
No. They’d already signed a variety show contract worth eight figures, and they couldn’t afford the penalty for backing out.
So this contract couple, each in it for their own reasons, were forced to appear together on a reality show. Ruan Tang got diarrhea so bad she was left completely drained, while Ji Nuannuan nearly lost it trying to feed pigs. One phone call revealed Ruan Tang was on the toilet, and one rescue attempt turned into a nationally livestreamed spectacle: “Top-Tier Star Gets Vomited On.”
Trying to save face, Ji Nuannuan sneered at the camera. “Because she’s carrying my child.”
The whole internet crashed.
Clutching the toilet, Ruan Tang retched. “Bullshit! I just ate something bad!”
Later, Ji Nuannuan’s fan count went from twenty million to forty million. They were all there to see “the peerless good husband who took a faceful of vomit from his wife and still took responsibility.” Ruan Tang became the internet’s officially certified “little darling who can do nothing but throw up.” Stomach medicine ads came pouring in, and even a toilet brand came knocking with an endorsement deal.
Ji Nuannuan complained to her face, but secretly finished the strawberry-flavored stomach medicine Ruan Tang had bought her. She even added, “Don’t buy strawberry next time. It tastes awful.”
Ruan Tang: So is she annoyed, or just acting tsundere?
Then one day, Ruan Tang found an old movie ticket in Ji Nuannuan’s study. It was dated five years ago, for the web series where Ruan Tang played a corpse. On the back of the ticket stub, someone had written: “This corpse is pretty cute.”
Ruan Tang froze.
Ji Nuannuan snatched the ticket stub from behind her, her ears turning bright red even as she kept her voice cool. “...I was blind back then.”
Then she sent Ruan Tang to the top of the trending charts with a bout of gastroenteritis. She said she must have been blind to fall for me back then. I said, “Then open your eyes now. I’m right here.”
