Stammering girl x superstar
Sweet girl x cool guy
Lin Shiyin earned the position of head screenwriter for a hugely popular IP through her own talent.
Rubbing her hands together, eager to get started, she spent nearly half a year working hard on the script, determined not to let down the book's fans, the original author, or the leads' acting skills.
The day before filming began, the investors bundled in two new actors and demanded extra scenes for their supporting roles.
On the fifth day of filming, Lin Shiyin stared at the unfamiliar scenes on the monitor and fell into thought.
On the tenth day, after her request to return to the original script was rejected, she was kicked out of the production group's chat.
Mess with her and you've kicked a pillow~
Lin Shiyin packed her bags and headed home. At the airport terminal, she quietly posted on Weibo: A show that doesn't respect the original work or its screenwriter is bound to flop sooner or later.
Three hours later, after Lin Shiyin landed, she discovered that the hot searches had exploded.
#ZhouXuQuitsTheShow# shot to the top of the trending list.
#TheOnlyAccountZhouXuFollowsIsSourOrange# came right after it.
Sour Orange was Lin Shiyin's pen name as a screenwriter.

Zhou Xu had placed first by a huge margin on a singing competition show and debuted as a singer.
He'd been famous for ten years, ever since his debut.
With his contract nearing its end and the company realizing it couldn't keep him, it signed him up for several new dramas to help promote its rookies.
Having worked with them once, Zhou Xu didn't want to make things too ugly, so he went into the production with his eyes closed.
On the first day of filming, he discovered that the screenwriter was his high-school classmate, but she didn't seem to remember him.
On the fifth day, he saw the little stammerer standing behind the monitor with her fists clenched, looking so wronged.
On the tenth day, she was bullied into leaving.
Zhou Xu turned around, told the company he was quitting, packed his bags, and headed to the airport.
Before switching his phone to airplane mode, Zhou Xu found Lin Shiyin's account in the group chat and sent her a friend request.
