[Blurb]
1. Cheng Xingman made a splash in show business when she debuted at eighteen and became an award-winning actress. Eight years later, she returned to television. No one expected her to take a period idol drama, with top heartthrob Xie Zhun as her co-star.
The news sent the whole internet into a frenzy.
One was an acclaimed actress who had been famous for years; the other was a popular idol who had come up through a talent show and had never acted before.
The two of them seemed like a terrible match in every way.
Both fandoms said they were looking forward to the collaboration, but were privately on edge.
One side was afraid their goddess would be dragged down and her reputation damaged; the other feared their star would be using her for clout.
And both sides were worried rumors about the two of them might start circulating.
Fortunately, after six months of filming, reports said the two had barely interacted on set.
The fans gradually relaxed. These two could never be a thing!
2. Cheng Xingman sat up, her head aching from the hangover. She turned to look at the young man still asleep beside her, and her headache got even worse.
She had actually gotten involved with Xie Zhun, who was six years younger than her... What a moral collapse, what a complete loss of humanity!
Whatever. She'd just pretend it never happened.
Just as Cheng Xingman picked up her clothes and prepared to sneak away, a sexy, teasing voice came from behind her:
"Leaving already, sis?"
Cheng Xingman stopped in her tracks. She turned and met Xie Zhun's dark eyes, which held a faint, amused smile. She gave an awkward laugh and slowly sat back down on the edge of the bed, testing the waters. "Then maybe I'll... stay a little longer?"
[Bonus Scene]
On set, Cheng Xingman was coolly radiant. Her brows lifted slightly as she held a long sword to Xie Zhun's chest and delivered her final line of the day:
"I told you. Sooner or later, you'll die by my hand."
After the scene, Xie Zhun's handsome face softened as he gave Cheng Xingman a calm smile. "Teacher Cheng's line delivery is as exquisite as ever."
That night, in a hotel room filled with suggestive lighting, the air was intimate. The handsome young man gently bit the woman's earlobe. "Now you're going to die by my hand, sis. Are you scared?"
Cheng Xingman: ?
* A gentle and warm exterior, secretly a deranged little wolf dog × a cool and stunning exterior, secretly a natural airhead older woman
