Li Fei has severe social anxiety. To stop her family from going bankrupt, she binds herself to a System and enters the entertainment industry. But joining the industry does nothing to change her personality. She can't bring herself to talk to people and is afraid of interacting with them.
Then, thanks to incredible luck, a Movie Emperor agrees to form a CP with her.
Rumor has it:
1. The Movie Emperor has sharp brows and dark, bright eyes, and is so stunningly handsome he looks like a character model brought to life.
2. The Movie Emperor has a sharp tongue and a heart of ice. He's extremely demanding about acting, and the moment he sees a co-star slack off even a little, his expression turns cold as frost.
Li Fei knows she's terrible at acting.
She doesn't dare act up in front of Movie Emperor Ji, and performs cautiously, in constant fear and anxiety.
To her surprise, rumor number two is false.
Ji Yanxu is handsome, and even nicer.
He never gets angry when she causes a scene to need retakes.
After a rain scene, he uses a soft towel to dry her face and rub her hair first.
When the cable breaks during a wire-fu scene, he holds her as they fall and takes the impact for her.
With him coaching her on set, her fanbase explodes when the show airs.
System reward: Mission completed ahead of schedule √
Who knew something this wonderful could happen?
Overjoyed, Li Fei immediately announces that she's leaving the entertainment industry and going home to return to her old life (*≧▽≦)

Before leaving, she sends the big shot a thank-you message: Thanks for helping me with my acting. I'm leaving the industry! If you have time, I'll treat you to a few meals ^_^
He doesn't reply.
He's busy, and Li Fei doesn't think much of it. Happily, she packs up and leaves her apartment.
To her surprise, she runs into a man blocking the elevator lobby downstairs.
He's lean and tall, wearing a black baseball cap. Above his mask, his dark eyes are as cold as ice. "I made you famous, and you ran off."
"You're only treating me to a few meals? You sure know how to make people do things for you."
Only now does Li Fei realize that something feels off. Why does he sound so angry?
The man backs her up against the fire exit door, and she stammers, "Th-then, you tell me what you want."
The man is silent for a moment.
"Treat me to meals for the rest of your life."
"If that's not enough, I'll chip in."
Are you people in the entertainment industry all this good at acting? You fooled me for so long.
