A Delusion of This World

Yi Sang secretly loved Jian Nian, so openly that she dared to let everyone know, yet she didn't dare let him find out.

One day, her secret identity was exposed. The hashtag #Eighteenth-Tier Star Confesses to Jian Nian# shot to the top of the trending charts, while her name didn't even deserve a mention.

Before her secret identity was exposed, Yi Sang thought Jian Nian was gentle and reserved, quiet, tall, long-legged, and handsome.

Afterward...

Jian Nian: "You like me?"

Yi Sang: "N-no, I don't, I..."

Before she could finish, he curled his lips and leaned in to kiss her. His warm breath brushed her cheek, his eyes hazy, his voice husky and bewitching. "Do you like me now?"

Yi Sang: ...?

The day Jian Nian announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, #She and I, Childhood Sweethearts, Legitimately Married# took the internet by storm.

Her secret crush had come to light.

It was a love no one knew about, one only he had ever known.

Mutual pining. The male lead is a little secretly flirtatious.

Theme: Gentle people will always deserve to be loved.
