Our Fan-Service Couple Became Real

[A sunny girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and has no idea how to flirt x a rational, restrained lover who knows just how to guide her]

Wen Shuangheng first met Lin Feixia in the company conference room.

Her agent announced that she would star alongside Lin Feixia in the company's first girls' love drama.

The 21-year-old newcomer smiled like the blazing summer sun, so dazzling that Wen Shuangheng wanted to run away.

"You have to play up your relationship while the show is airing."

The partner she'd been saddled with was supposed to be just a colleague. But when their new drama became a huge hit, they had no choice but to appear together at all sorts of events.

In the behind-the-scenes clips that went viral across the internet:

"Hold me tighter."

"Can you make the kissing scene a little more realistic?"

"Sis, your ears are red."

While fans went wild over their ship, Wen Shuangheng turned down Lin Feixia's confession.

Wen Shuangheng never expected that Lin Feixia would be the one holding an umbrella over her in the rain.

The one standing in front of her when haters attacked.

Even the one waiting on set until midnight with a birthday cake for her.

Asked in an interview what she thought of her and Lin Feixia's "Frost and Ice Cream" ship, Wen Shuangheng replied, "She's kind of noisy, but... she's pretty great."

Solo fans: The person herself has made her position clear. They're just colleagues, so stop shipping them.

Shippers: A forcibly picked melon may not be sweet... but it'll quench your thirst!

Later, during a live broadcast of an awards ceremony...

Wen Shuangheng looked at the girl beside her, whose fingers were trembling with nerves, and suddenly took the microphone.

"Thank you to a certain someone for staying by my side when I was still unknown..."

In that moment, all the fanfiction paled in comparison.

The trending topics exploded:

#FakeSugarTurnsIntoTheRealThing#

#PleaseJustMakeItOfficial#

#TheYoungerPuppyFinallyGetsHerWish#

#ThePowersThatBeForcedUsToShipTheRealCouple#

"I want to stay with you while we're still unknown, and stand beside you under the spotlight when the whole world is watching."

From running away to falling helplessly in love, all it takes is one summer.

Next book: Her Thousand-Layered Schemes

Wen Yuqing had been single her entire life. The most unbelievable thing she'd ever seen happened one weekend, when her little brother, who cared about nothing but video games, brought home a girlfriend as beautiful as a goddess.

"Sis, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Yao."

Wen Yuqing stared at the face that had appeared in her old dreams time and again. The spicy snack in her hand dropped to the floor.

She grabbed Jiang Yao's hand, struggling to contain the turmoil inside her. "He's dark, skinny, and stupid. What could you possibly see in him?!"

Jiang Yao gently clasped her hand in return, her fingertips brushing Wen Yuqing's palm as if by chance.

Her voice was lazy, with a hint of playful mischief. "You tell me."

[New forum help thread]: "Help! My younger brother's new girlfriend is the upperclasswoman I had a crush on in high school. What should I do?! Urgent, waiting for replies!"

[Reply]: Obviously, steal her away~~ If you make the first move, you'll have a story together!

[Thread starter]: Stop it. I gave up on straight girls years ago.

[Update]: Help! My younger brother's new girlfriend keeps inviting me out when he's not around, and she gives me presents...

[Reply]: She's definitely into you!

[Thread starter]: You're imagining things.

Then one night, Wen Yuqing spotted Jiang Yao at a lesbian bar, surrounded by a group of women asking for her contact details.

"Player!" she shouted angrily, rushing over and dragging Jiang Yao into an empty private room. "Are you trying to trick my brother into a sham marriage? What are you really after?!"

Jiang Yao turned the tables, gently pinning her against the door. Her warm breath drew near, and a fingertip lifted Wen Yuqing's chin.

In the darkness, her voice was utterly beguiling. "What am I after...?"

"I had to trick him so I could have a legitimate excuse to keep seeing someone..."

"The silly girl who could only sneak glances at me in the library back then, but never dared to say hello."

Wen Yuqing froze, her mind completely blank.

"So, here's my answer to your question."

Jiang Yao's lips almost brushed her ear.

"The one I want..."

"Has always been his older sister."

Theme: She's younger, but don't call her sis. Her thoughts are already getting wild.
