The proud, sharp-tongued little princess vs. a down-and-out actor from the eighteenth tier

Blurb 1:

Ruan Hu'an, a hugely popular young actress, is invited to give a talk at B University, where she takes a liking to a pure-hearted junior student.

The young man is tall and slender, with a clean-cut smile.

He casually says to his classmates, "I'm off to play ball!"

Just that one sentence, crisp as the breeze, gentle and pure.

To Ruan Hu'an, who loves a good voice, it is utterly intoxicating.

Just as Ruan Hu'an is fretting over how to find the right opportunity to get her hands all over her junior, he comes knocking on her door himself.

One night, the young man collapses in front of her, eyes hazy and voice low. "Could you take me with you?"

Ruan Hu'an looks calm, but inside, her thoughts are galloping wild. She smiles at him. "Sure."

Blurb 2:

The overnight sensation Gu Suixing is famously aloof.

They say he once turned down every variety-show guest's attempts to get his help, and ignored the advances of a newly popular actress.

But observant fans notice that whenever Ruan Hu'an is around, Gu Suixing seems like a loyal puppy.

Such an outrageous claim is quickly buried beneath a flood of disbelief.

Until one day, after losing a game on a livestream, Ruan Hu'an is challenged to call the most recent man in her call history.

The call connects, and a low laugh comes from the other end. "Huanhuan, when are you coming home? Didn't you say you'd cook dinner for me tonight?"

The internet is stunned. That voice, so seductive you can practically hear the pregnancy coming, belongs to none other than the famously aloof movie star Gu Suixing?!

Ruan Hu'an alone has mixed feelings, convinced her place in the household is under threat.

You probably won't believe this, but as the "head of the household," I still have to cook for my puppy every day.

One fan's inner monologue at the time: You foolish humans, I was once so close to the truth!

Publicly Funded Romance [Entertainment Industry]

The delicate, aloof award-winning actress vs. the upright, elegant director

Blurb:

Song Yuhuan is known throughout the entertainment industry as a cool, distant goddess.

But no one knows she has a secret Weibo account where the director Zhou Guican is the only person she follows closely. Every post is just his name.

At night, she can only fall asleep by thinking of his face, so deep is her consuming love.

*

In an online poll for the man people most want to sleep with in the entertainment industry, rising director Zhou Guican beats a crowd of young heartthrobs by a mile, claiming first place once again.

When news breaks that Song Yuhuan and Zhou Guican will work together for the first time, one netizen gets the idea of shipping them. They are immediately shouted down by everyone.

[Anonymous gossip fan]: Imagine if the two of them were dating. It would go like this:

Zhou Guican: "What do you want for dinner tonight?"

Song Yuhuan: "Anything is fine."

Zhou Guican: "Then let's have Western food."

Song Yuhuan: "Okay."

There's absolutely no passion there!!!

The fans who shipped them can't imagine it, and abandon the ship in droves.

Until the two appear together on a variety show. Song Yuhuan accidentally cuts her hand, and a large bead of blood wells up.

Zhou Guican hurries over, his eyes bloodshot.

Song Yuhuan, who is usually unmoved by anything, smiles radiantly and says with a seductive air, "Acan, it hurts so much."

Zhou Guican bends down to kiss her finger, soothing her. "There, there. It doesn't hurt anymore."

Viewers in front of their TVs: "?? Did I just watch a fake livestream?"

Bonus scene:

One day, Zhou Guican and Song Yuhuan really do discuss the following scenario:

Zhou Guican: "What do you want for dinner tonight?"

Song Yuhuan: "Anything is fine."

Zhou Guican: "Are you sure? Don't you want to think about it a little more?"

Song Yuhuan: "...Think about what?"

Zhou Guican: "Think about..."

Song Yuhuan: "!!!"
