The Actress’s Guide to Success [Entertainment Industry]

The leading actress Ye Zhu has hit a career bottleneck. Her dazzling career has stalled when it comes to romance scenes. Despite being a talented actress, she is terrible at portraying romantic feelings. Hoping to improve her acting, Ye Zhu boldly takes on a romantic drama, only to be flustered by her co-star's effortless performance in the very area where she struggles.

Ye Zhu: I look like garbage next to her.

The actress who compared herself to garbage humbly asks her co-star for advice, hoping to overcome her weakness with romantic scenes. Her co-star not only gives her hands-on instruction, but also holds private lessons after filming.

"For a kissing scene, you should close your eyes, Sis. Put your hand on my waist, then move it a little higher and give me a little stroke." As the young actress teaches, she demonstrates, her cool fingers tracing Ye Zhu's waist and gently moving upward. "You're so soft and smell so good, Sis."

Ye Zhu is tingling all over from the touch. ...She's really good at this!

Through countless back-and-forth encounters, the two grow closer and closer. Ye Zhu's acting in romantic scenes improves by leaps and bounds. On screen, sparks fly between them and passion runs high. Off screen, their CP fans go wild, insisting that if they don't get married, there'll be no way to explain it. The whole entertainment industry is waiting for them to announce their relationship and shower fans with sweetness.

When filming wraps on their new drama, reporters chase after Ye Zhu for the truth. "Ms. Ye, did you and Ms. Xia fall in love while filming and get together?"

Ye Zhu's expression changes. "Sorry, we were only acting together."

The night before filming wrapped, Ye Zhu had seen the young actress smiling sweetly and warmly as she held flowers from her boyfriend. She clenches her fists. As expected, straight girls have no sense of boundaries!

Pop idol Xia Xing, a singer and dancer, takes on a romance drama despite being mocked by the whole internet, solely because her co-star is Ye Zhu, the goddess she's had a crush on for years. She really can't act, but so what? Loving Ye Zhu is enough.

This is a heaven-sent opportunity: her goddess has practically fallen into her arms. If she doesn't seize the moment, when will she? So Xia Xing pulls out every trick in the book. During the day, she's gentle and considerate while acting opposite Ye Zhu. At night, she gives Ye Zhu private lessons, all sweetness and tenderness. She looks up guides and tips, flirting with her goddess in every way she can think of. The results are plain to see.

On camera, Xia Xing holds Ye Zhu by the waist, her gaze full of affection and allure. The moment behind-the-scenes footage comes out, it makes the whole internet swoon. Netizens exclaim: Little sis, that doesn't look like acting! This is what it looks like when a ten-year crush finally comes true! Going from suspicion to shock, Xia Xing needs just one glance to send the CP fans into a frenzy.

Xia Xing thinks she's done a fantastic job. Ye Zhu blushes whenever she looks at her, eagerly returns her kisses, and murmurs in her ear as they hold each other and fall asleep. Everything is so wonderful. Just as Xia Xing is preparing to confess to Ye Zhu and turn their story into a happy ending, she sees Ye Zhu coldly telling reporters that they're only co-stars!

Xia Xing breaks down on the spot.

Late at night, someone corners Ye Zhu at her door. The young actress is crying so hard her face is streaked with tears. "Ye Zhu! You're bullying me! Are we really just co-stars to you?"

Ye Zhu grips the doorknob, her expression unreadable. "Aren't we?"

Then the young actress pounces on her. Xia Xing bites her lip, sounding aggrieved. "Do co-stars kiss and touch each other like that?"

Ye Zhu's moral boundaries are wavering wildly. "How are you going to explain this to your boyfriend?"

Xia Xing's waist goes limp as she looks utterly confused. "What boyfriend?"

The actress who nearly became the other woman for love changes her tune on the spot. The young actress is teased mercilessly, unable to get a single word of surrender out. All she can do is wrap her arms around Ye Zhu's neck and whimper sweetly, calling her "Sis, Sis" all night long.

A lively, adorable little rabbit with a bit of cleverness x a cold, career-driven strong woman on the surface, but actually a naive, pure-hearted neighbor's girl (an orchid on the edge of a cliff)
