Coming soon: You Can't Date While Your Career Is Taking Off Yan Huan first met He Qingci at a promotional banquet. As someone known for starring in terrible dramas, she had finally found a script she truly loved, but she wasn't eligible for a role. Honestly, she just had no connections, so the director told her to come and "try her luck." She knew she was thoughtless and unpopular, with nothing but passion and a pretty face. She didn't want to be pressured into sleeping with someone for a role, but if a man like this were the one asking, it might even be a blessing. But He Qingci only glanced at her and said no more than three sentences. The only thing he said that could be called a compliment was, "That's an unusual surname." Though she neither found a rich patron at the banquet nor got to know the young master of the He family, she still landed the female lead role. She treasured the opportunity, and finally became famous after the movie premiered. He Qingci only sent her a brief congratulatory message. Yan Huan gradually realized she could never reach a man of his stature. She gave up her little crush on him. - After the talented young actress Yan Huan shot to fame, a scandal about her immediately broke. But the first person to confront her was He Qingci.

Didn't you always say actresses have a period when their careers are taking off?" Only then did Yan Huan realize that this man was a weird, stubborn tsundere with something wrong with him.
