Lu Wan Mian fell for someone. The person she secretly loved was Xu Xing Huai, a rising actor who had only recently made his debut.

Later, for Xu Xing Huai, Lu Wan Mian resolutely stepped into the entertainment industry.

As the youngest daughter of the Lu family, a business giant in Jiangcheng, Lu Wan Mian landed the second female lead in a major IP drama as soon as she debuted. She acted opposite Xu Xing Huai, and the drama made her an overnight sensation.

After Lu Wan Mian shot to fame, a video of her and Xu Xing Huai entering and leaving a hotel was dug up online, and she was lambasted on the trending list.

While Xu Xing Huai's fans accused Lu Wan Mian of hitching herself to him to stir up dating rumors, and the internet was in an uproar, Xu Xing Huai posted on Weibo.

[@Xu Xing Huai: She's just my junior from school, @Lu Wan Mian. Please be reasonable.]

Lu Wan Mian had always thought that she was the only one with a crush on Xu Xing Huai, and that she was just the “junior” he called her.

Until one day, during a segment on a variety show

In the dim, intimate light, Lu Wan Mian couldn't see where she was going and accidentally brushed her lips against his cheek.

She froze and held her breath, then suddenly heard his lazy, husky laugh.

“Trying to steal a kiss?”

Lu Wan Mian was speechless. She wanted to say something, but saw the young man chuckle and pull off her hat.

Her view suddenly brightened. She saw the young man's sharply defined jawline and strikingly cool features.

The next moment, his palm covered her eyes, plunging her into darkness.

Then he gently brushed her lips.

He kissed her.

Ruan Qing Lian was a beauty.

Her beauty was gentle and nonthreatening, her bearing cool and distant, her skin like ice and her bones like jade.

Yet a beauty like her was Shen Ji's caged songbird.

Who didn't know Shen Ji? He was ruthless, volatile, and violent, a notorious lunatic in their circle.

Everyone thought Shen Ji only liked Ruan Qing Lian's face.

Only Shen Ji knew the truth

The first time he met Ruan Qing Lian was backstage at the annual film awards.

In the dim light, the “classically elegant beauty” praised by netizens had her head bowed as she smoked.

The scarlet glow of the cigarette illuminated her cool, indifferent face, and it gradually overlapped with the figure in Shen Ji's heart.

Through the pale smoke, she looked up and met Shen Ji's dark eyes.

From then on, Ruan Qing Lian became the bird in Shen Ji's hand.

-

Shen Ji thought Ruan Qing Lian loved him, because whenever she saw him, her cool eyes would always brim with tender affection.

Until one day, Shen Ji's ideal woman, Fang Shu Yi, returned to the country.

Shen Ji loved Fang Shu Yi even more than he had when they were young, wishing he could give her everything.

At a dinner party, Shen Ji's group of friends brought Fang Shu Yi along and laughingly called her “sis-in-law.”

Shen Ji held Fang Shu Yi, her face flushed as she hid in his arms, and looked up lazily, meeting a pair of cool eyes.

Ruan Qing Lian stood at a distance, silently watching him.

That night, Ruan Qing Lian quietly moved out of Shen Ji's home.

Without Ruan Qing Lian by his side, Shen Ji always felt something was missing.

For the first time in his life, Shen Ji lowered his head and went looking for Ruan Qing Lian.

On a stormy day, he saw through the curtain of rain as an unfamiliar man pulled Ruan Qing Lian into his arms.

Ruan Qing Lian closed her eyes and meekly accepted the man's kisses.

Shen Ji's expression darkened. Suppressing the violent fury surging within him, he was about to pull them apart when the man turned his head.

That face looked remarkably like his own.

At that moment, Shen Ji went mad.

So he, too, had been a stand-in in her eyes.

-

Later, Shen Ji finally understood that Ruan Qing Lian was a woman without a heart or feelings. He had always been the one who willingly walked into her trap.
