Glamorous, alluring actress × gentle, doting family friend

Hu Ying, also known as Jian Ke, has memories of her past life.

In her past life, she was a mischievous little fox, with a dragon brother named Ao Zhong who doted on her like a real older brother.

In this life, she's an actress with incredible talent. To deal with her parents pressuring her to get married, she persuades Ao Zhong to pretend to be her boyfriend.

Then, while filming a variety show, Hu Ying gets into danger, and Ao Zhong rushes to save her, heedless of the risk.

In that moment, all the tender affection from her past and present lives strikes a chord in her heart!

Hu Ying falls for him completely!

He saved her life, so she can repay him by marrying him!

Hu Ying immediately decides to make this dragon her real boyfriend. She will turn her "big brother" into her lover.

As a former fox spirit, if she can't tempt a dragon into pursuing her, she'd be letting her fox-spirit talents go to waste!

Ao Zhong is the crown prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan. He is on good terms with the Celestial Fox family and grants the charming little fox from their family anything she asks for.

When the little fox meets with disaster and reincarnates as a stunning, glamorous actress, he dotes on her all the more.

Everyone thinks he loves and protects her like a little sister. But no one knows that he no longer wants to be her "big brother." He only wants to cherish her with all his heart!

Bonus Scene:

Eighteenth-tier actress Hu Ying is gearing up to make it big when her parents pressure her to marry. She's forced into a blind date and can't fight her way out of it.

At a regular dinner gathering, she meets a dragon who is also being pressured to marry. The two poor souls vent about their families' matchmaking demands and use blind dates as a topic to drink to. After a few cups of immortal wine, the quick-witted Hu Ying comes up with a brilliant idea: Why don't we settle for each other and get married?

The dragon's eyes light up. They strike a deal on the spot: Deal!

Her big brother, who's watched the whole thing, intervenes forcefully: Stop this nonsense!

The dragon's eyes dim as he wilts: ...

The next day.

Once again pressured to marry, Hu Ying impulsively grabs the dragon right beside her to use as a shield and fob off her mother.

The dragon stares, stunned: ...

Hu Ying reassures him: So what if it's nonsense? We just have to keep Big Brother from finding out.

The dragon's eyes light up again as he ponders: Hmm?

Hu Ying crooks a finger, an invisible thread hooked around its tip.

One end of the thread is tied around the dragon's neck. He acts reluctant: Hmm...

Hu Ying gives the thread a tug and smiles: So that's a yes?

The dragon nods along with the thread, utterly convinced: Hmm!

Hu Ying holds up a palm: Then it's settled! I can focus on my career, and you can keep enjoying your freedom.

The dragon slaps her palm. The fake-couple alliance is official!

Later.

One day, while fulfilling his duties as her partner, the dragon feels bubbles of jealousy churning inside him: What kind of scene is this? They're using a body double? Oh, well, that's... fine, then.

Hu Ying praises him: A dragon who supports my career is a good dragon!

The dragon immediately pledges his support: I'll support you for sure!

In reality, he huddles unhappily in a corner, grinding his teeth and wishing he could take the other person's place: I really... don't want to support this.

Hu Ying grins like a fox and pats the dragon's head: How about we turn our fake relationship into a real one?

The dragon is overjoyed inside, his energy returning: Wonderful! That's what I've wanted all along!
