[Check out my next contemporary urban romance, “Keep Pretending, I Dare You.” The Fu Group invites you to invest. No loss, guaranteed profits! Blurb at the very end!]
Her side: Xu Jiu became famous as one of Director Chen’s leading ladies, thanks to her elegant, aloof image!
At an event, Xu Jiu wore a cool, edgy leather skirt, her eyes lowered and her expression faintly annoyed.
Fans and passersby alike were utterly charmed by her cool, handsome aura.
But after a while, fans discovered that beneath Xu Jiu’s elegant, aloof exterior was a mischievous, goofy soul just waiting to break free.
During a livestream interview:
Reporter: “We’re starting. Give yourself a cue.”
Xu Jiu looked cool and detached, even a little indifferent. “Hello, viewers. Welcome to...”
She stopped, her red lips opening and closing. Then she suddenly stumbled over her words and changed course. “Wait, let’s start over. Cut that part, cut it!”
Reporter: “This is live!”
Xu Jiu: “...”
Comments: [When she said ‘Welcome to,’ I wouldn’t have been surprised if she’d gone on to say “Some News Broadcast”!]
[Hahahaha, Xu Jiu is always unintentionally funny while acting completely serious!]
His side: Lin Sui is the young master of ZQ Entertainment. He joins the entertainment industry just for fun.
Unexpectedly, a secretly filmed video of him at the airport makes him famous!
In the video, the man isn’t wearing a mask or sunglasses.
His hands are in his pockets, and his expression is casual and indifferent.
His skin is very fair, his hair slightly messy, with a few strands falling over his forehead. His features are exquisite and striking, and below them, his sexy Adam’s apple and long neck.
Cool and refined, carefree and irreverent, he looks like a young master from some wealthy family.
That video alone earns him the title of the entertainment industry’s most handsome man.
They’re called heaven for anyone who loves good looks: the cool, mature woman x the arrogant, devoted puppy. Who wouldn’t love this pairing!!!
Soon, they gain a huge number of shippers, who notice that the clothes they wear in their everyday lives are full of subtle hints that they’re a couple!! (Actually, Sui Sui is just imitating his older sister!)
Then, at an event, fans from both sides are amazed to discover Xu Jiu and Lin Sui are wearing matching outfits.
Comments: [Mom, my ship is real!!]
[I’m the marriage bureau. I’m here!!]

“Keep Pretending, I Dare You”
1. Fu Shixian never thought he’d see Song Ci for the first time since their breakup at a club.
Her once waterfall-like long hair had become big, loose waves. Her red lips were bold, and she seemed more worldly.
Song Ci had just come out of the restroom when she ran straight into Fu Shixian, a coat draped over his arm.
She looked up at her ex-boyfriend and former boss. Her expression was calm and emotionless as she said lightly, “Mr. Fu, what a coincidence.”
Fu Shixian’s thin lips lifted slightly as he raised an eyebrow and asked with a mocking edge, “So, after quitting my company, you changed careers?”
2. At the Ancheng No. 1 High School alumni reunion, Song Ci goes to find her father. She never expects to round a corner and bump into a group of people.
“I was wondering who it was. It’s Song Ci,” the principal says when he recognizes her.
Fu Shixian looks at Song Ci and pretends not to know her. “And this is?” he asks coolly.
“Oh, she’s the daughter of Director Song from our school.”
Fu Shixian curls his lips into a cold smile. “Since we’ve run into each other, you probably haven’t eaten yet. Join us.”
Song Ci goes to the restroom midway through the meal.
Fu Shixian corners her against the wall and stares straight at her. A mocking smile touches his eyes as he grits his teeth and says, “Song Ci, keep pretending, I dare you!”
3. Song Ci attends the Xinhe Mansion celebration banquet as the secretary to the president of Shengjia Real Estate.
The large table is full of partners in the project.
The seating is arranged cleverly, placing Song Ci right beside Fu Shixian.
During the meal, someone jokingly brings up the recent rumor about Fu Shixian.
“Someone said our Mr. Fu is already married. How could that be true? What nonsense!”
Right in front of the speaker, Fu Shixian calmly picks up a piece of food and puts it in Song Ci’s bowl. “That someone is me.”
Everyone: “...”
Theme: A female lead who pretends to be elegant and aloof but is actually a goofball x a male lead who pretends to be carefree but is actually a devoted puppy.
Suddenly I felt the joy of sweet stories. To be honest, I didn't like it when I saw the male and female protagonists together before, but this time it's really sweet. Hahaha
Sprinkle flowers, Dad Lin is so cute
Recommended plot for male and female protagonists is to torture the female protagonist and make her suffer abuse? What disgusting arrangement, such a good system allows the male protagonist to have it
So... Isn't this a "mistaken confession" but a "sent from the sky"? (?▽`)ノ?

She's just the heroine. I don't think there's anything bad about Meng. If one of them is public and the other doesn't want to be public, everyone will be mentally unbalanced.
So who is the other oval face in the male protagonist's mind? There is also a picture of that person in front of him.
It's very warm and beautiful. It's not ridiculous, it's just sweet. Anyway, I like it very much.
Although I know the system is here to help, it feels so frustrating to be forced to do tasks without any choice.
So the first time was it the elevator or the stairs?
