Qian Lianlian is a specialist in playing fairy-like characters, and she has a ton of celebrity image to protect.
The day after walking in a Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week show, she received a message: "I need a stepmom."
Attached were two pictures: one of her picking her teeth while gnawing on a chicken wing because she was starving the day before, and a screenshot showing a location.
Jin Yu: aloof CEO, single father.
The day after wrapping up business at the Paris branch, he received a note: "Dad, here's your birthday present."
He lifted the blanket: Qian Lianlian, sprawled out asleep, and a contract signed with her name across her chest.
Six months later.

On a variety show, the couples were asked to write down their impressions of each other.
Jin Yu: At first, I thought she was a scheming little white lotus. Then I realized she was a poor little thing. A poor little thing I bullied, that is.
Qian Lianlian: At first, I thought a man named Jin Yu would be abstinent. Then... I shed bitter tears.
