*Gentle beauty of a designer x an aloof male model | Marriage first, love later
Everyone regretted that Ni Yang had all the makings of a star but chose to work behind the scenes. Later, at twenty-five, she became the menswear designer for her family's luxury brand, and domestic male models were scrambling to walk in her shows.
"Nini, I told them you designed this outfit with me as your inspiration."
"A Yang, my assistant is all thumbs. Could you help me get dressed?"
Backstage, handsome men halfway through changing caught sight of her and lit up.
Online, people joked that although Ni Yang was a male-model magnet, Qi Lian, who never missed a single one of her shows, was sure to be her one and only. The fans of their ship cheered them on every day on Weibo.
But one comment read: Am I the only one who thinks she and He Lv would make a great couple?
The reply below it: Yes, you're the only one, hehe.
A week later, someone dug up that comment and replied, then reposted it:
@helv: You're not the only one.

Top male model He Lv was hailed as a "walking sculpture" for his deep, defined features and his "cold, abstinent" aura. People joked that he was so handsome he looked "fake."
After he reposted and replied, the topic shot straight to the top of the trending searches.
The moment Ni Yang woke up, she ran downstairs in disbelief. The culprit was sitting on the sofa on the villa's first floor. The lights were dazzling, and his gray eyes held her in their distant gaze.
"What do you mean by this? Didn't we agree..."
"Ni Yang," he interrupted, hiding the deep jealousy in his eyes. "What if we slept together and saw how it went?"
"...?"
"Try it, then decide whether you want a divorce."
During an interview one day, the host asked, "Everyone says the two of you are dating. Is that true?"
"No."
The host breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased. "I knew it..."
"We've been secretly married for two years." The man lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. Like a cold plaster statue suddenly brought to life, he became vivid and real.

#A built-in battlefield of romantic rivals, but the leads only have eyes for each other
(The title will have to do for now. I'll think of a better one later.)
(Is this maybe sort of an entertainment-industry story?)
