[Seven-year age gap] [Mutual pursuit]
A delicate little starlet who can't stop crying x an aloof, abstinent award-winning actor
Sang You won countless fans with her stunning looks as soon as she debuted. She can be sweet or alluring, charming but never vulgar, and even candid photos of her look as polished as retouched ones.
Her eyes are especially expressive, always glistening with tears, making her impossible not to pity.
Ning Heli has won both major acting awards for several years running and has his pick of top-tier projects, yet he's renowned for being cold and heartless.
In ten years since his debut, he's never accepted anyone's advances. With no dating rumors or scandals, he's abstinence personified, like a cold star hanging high in the sky that no one dares to covet.
The two had no connection at all, until the internet's black-tech wizardry brought them together.
Fan-made shipping videos topped the charts on every major platform, and the pair unexpectedly became the internet's most eye-catching CP!
Netizens: Amazing! All my CP needs to do to get married is meet each other!
So the very next day, Sang You and Ning Heli's names appeared on the cast list of a dating show.
When the show began, the men and women had to vote for each other to form pairs.
Sang You unhesitatingly voted for someone else, only to discover that Ning Heli had voted for her.
Netizens cried their eyes out, but then a leaked video from the set went viral online...
In a cramped stairwell, Sang You was cornered by someone. Her porcelain-white face was flushed, and tears sparkled in her beautiful eyes.
Her voice soft, she demanded, "Didn't we agree to break up our CP? Why did you still vote for me?"
Ning Heli sighed and buried his face in the crook of her shoulder. "Honey, I won't sneak midnight snacks anymore. Can we keep the CP together?"
Netizens: Holy crap, holy crap, my CP is real!
Ning Heli: Is no one going to speak up for my freedom to eat midnight snacks? =_=

The Ning and Sang families have been family friends for generations and arranged a marriage between their children long ago. Ning Heli, the only son, devoted himself entirely to acting and made every excuse to avoid meeting his fiancee.
That is, until he visited a film set and saw the director scolding a newcomer.
Her tiny face was streaked with tears. Her lively, beautiful eyes glistened, and each tear that fell only made her more determined. She was adorable, charming, and incredibly talented.
It was as if a seed had quietly been planted in his heart.
Two years later, a friend shared a fan-made shipping video of the two of them. "You haven't even announced your engagement, and the whole internet is already shipping you!"
He expected Ning Heli to dismiss it as usual, but an almost immediate reply popped up in the chat: "We look good together."
"You'll sit at the main table at our wedding."
Friend: ??? Who was it that would rather die than accept an arranged marriage?
