Gu Yancheng returned to Dongda's School of Arts to give a talk, where he first met Wen Jianyun.
The girl wore a white shirt and a black pleated skirt. When they crossed paths, every smile and frown of hers was both innocent and alluring, stirring his heart.
As the event ended, she bit her lip and asked, "Senior, could I perhaps..."
Before she could finish, he flashed a rakish smile. "Kid, I'm not into picking up long-haired girls in black."
A stunned silence fell, broken by the sharp sound of a slap.
That night, Wen Jianyun trended under #SlapsTop-TierStar# and was hounded by Gu Yancheng's eighty million devoted fans.
Fortune came with misfortune. Her notoriety and sultry looks helped her make a successful move to Huasheng Pictures, the top company in the industry.
Although she spent a year after her debut starring in flop after flop and became known across the internet as the "queen of bad movies," she never offered a single explanation.
Just as gossip accounts revealed that her childhood sweetheart had cheated on her and haters mocked her, saying she'd never make it, the hit Valentine's Day variety show Dear Couples came calling.
"Kid, why don't you give me a try?"
To shake off her scumbag ex's persistent harassment, she accepted Gu Yancheng's invitation.
When the relationship was announced, the whole internet, especially Gu Yancheng's wife fans, went: ???
Capital has no heart. How many times are they going to use Brother Chen to create a rumor and get attention?
#Has-Been, Don't Drag Top-Tier Star Into This, Get Out of Showbiz# instantly took over the trending list.
But soon, the supposed subject of the rumor personally proved them wrong:
@GGuYancheng: Happy Valentine's Day, baby. @WenJianyun
The whole internet promptly crashed again.
Top-tier star Gu Yancheng came from a family of military arts performers and had thrived in showbiz since childhood. Arrogant and acting entirely on a whim, he was the industry's untouchable young master.
So countless women lined up to be his sugar babies.
He thought Wen Jianyun was just one of them, but that slap made him completely obsessed.
He began plotting at every turn, willing to go from playboy to devoted simp, all to claim her for himself.
The male lead seems like a playboy, but he's not a scumbag.
*One-on-one romance, neither is the other's first love, but both are virgins.
Many original details, no real-life inspirations. No real-life speculation or trolling.
