I Think My Idol Likes Me

[When You Shine is now underway. Next up: Symbiotic Relationship and Love Game]

Song An'an is a fan of award-winning actor Jiang Heng.

She entered the industry for love and worked hard for two years, yet she was still stuck among the unknowns. She never dreamed that she'd get the chance to co-star with her idol as the female lead in a romance film.

The only problem was that the script was way too tame. It didn't even have a kissing scene! Song An'an was terribly disappointed.

"You want a kissing scene?" Jiang Heng drawled. "Sure."

Song An'an: ...!

Jiang Heng: "Tell me how many you want, and I'll have the screenwriter add them."

Later, Song An'an cried after filming so many kissing scenes. What happened to having no worldly desires? Liar! QAQ!

After the film Chasing the Light was released, it became a box office smash, and Jiang Heng and Song An'an's relationship was exposed.

Everyone assumed the two had fallen in love while making the film. They envied Song An'an, but plenty of people were also unhappy about it.

At the year-end gala, a reporter stopped Jiang Heng on the red carpet and asked pointedly, "If Song An'an hadn't been the female lead, would you still have fallen in love with her?"

Jiang Heng calmly took the microphone.

"I came up with the script, I invested in the movie, and I chose the female lead." He spoke each word carefully. "I made this movie to pursue her. What do you think?"

Reporter: ...!

That night, the hashtag #JiangHengPutTogetherACrewToPursueHer exploded on the trending list.

You are the light, and I was born to turn toward the sun. By Jiang Heng.

Reading guide:

1. Silly, sweet romance.

2. Both leads are each other's first, one-on-one.

"When you shine, even the stars bow to you."

1. Qiao Shanshan, an unknown screenwriter at the bottom of the entertainment industry, finally lands an adaptation of a hugely popular IP. But the male lead is the sworn rival of her idol.

That top-tier star with terrible acting, a diva attitude, baffling taste, a love of slacking off, and nothing going for him but his face:

Lu Xingyao.

To make matters worse, Qiao Shanshan has to rewrite the script to accommodate his awful acting!

After countless sleepless nights and losing more hair than she can count, Qiao Shanshan finally swears in a fit of rage, "If I ever rewrite a script for him again, I'm a dog!"

Not long after, in a hotel reception room.

Lu Xingyao lowers the magazine covering his face, slides the sunglasses down his nose with his long fingers, and gives her an amused look. "I heard you don't want to rewrite my script?"

"..."

2. After an accident, Qiao Shanshan is trending as a top-tier star's girlfriend. The gossip accounts keep things vague, and everyone starts guessing which star it is.

Fans of every top-tier star rush to Qiao Shanshan's Weibo, demanding that she make a statement to clear their idols' names.

As the online war grows more heated, Lu Xingyao reposts the gossip account's scoop and tags @LuXingyaoStar: Mine.

His Weibo crashes instantly.

Twenty minutes later, #LuXingyaoIsDating blows up on the trending list. Amid a chorus of fans crying in despair, he leisurely reposts it again and tags @LuXingyaoStar: Screenwriter.

After twenty minutes of her heart nearly jumping out of her chest, Qiao Shanshan can't help asking, "Why didn't you post it all at once?"

Lu Xingyao lazily slips his phone back into his pocket. "I don't like taking the blame for other people."

"So," Lu Xingyao says with a smile, "I might need to make this fake relationship with you real."

3. Lu Xingyao, a top-tier star at the height of his fame, never imagined he'd one day beg a hater to become his fan, act in her script for no pay, and still get told his acting was awful.

So he trains hard, turns over a new leaf, and even goes out of his way to get friendly with his sworn rival.

The night he wins the first acting award of his life, the host asks what inspired him to work so hard. Lu Xingyao twirls the plain ring on his middle finger and answers casually, "My boss said I have to win an award before I can act in her script."

Everyone: ?
