[Silly, sweet story + reborn in the entertainment industry + a romance paid for by the production] Please add to your reading list Q//Q
Ling Shu was a newly rising star. Just as his popularity was peaking, he got into a car accident. Luckily, he was reborn.
But everything had gone back to when he was still a new actor!
The script he gets this time is for a fake-dating reality show, and his partner is the top-tier star Li Yuxi, who used to look down on him.
By now, Li Yuxi is starting to make a name for himself, and candid airport photos of him keep trending.
So Ling Shu slams down the script. "I'm in!"
When enemies meet, how can he back down?
To keep the ratings from tanking, Ling Shu decides to get through the next few months by gritting his teeth!
A fake romance is nothing more than:
Pretending to write tearful poems for each other.
Asking after each other with a tender expression.
The occasional fake kiss, filmed from an angle that makes it look real.
In short, stay on the trending lists, get both praise and hate, maximize their popularity, and teach his rival what eye-catching acting really looks like!
But the moment Li Yuxi appears, he shines ten times brighter than anyone else. In a low, gentle voice, he calls Ling Shu "Xiao Shu," then suddenly reaches out and brushes the corner of his eye before Ling Shu can react.
The day the show airs, their first meeting shoots straight to number one on the trending list.

Ling Shu: What the hell! Your acting is way over the top!
At their next recording, Ling Shu is determined not to be outdone. Halfway through their meal, he unexpectedly feeds Li Yuxi a bite of food, looking bashful.
But after chewing, Li Yuxi smiles and says, unhurriedly, "Xiao Shu hates green peppers, so just give them all to me from now on."
The day the show airs, they're trending again.

Ling Shu scrolls on his phone: !!!
Li Yuxi is such a two-faced person!
Just how ridiculous can this get?
Damn it.
As things grow increasingly heated, the show reaches its middle and later episodes, and it's all gotten out of hand. They seem to be competing to see who can act better.
They keep leaning close and whispering to each other.
Ling Shu drinks half a bottle of water, and Li Yuxi finishes the rest.
Last time, Li Yuxi hugged him from behind. Next time, Ling Shu walks along and suddenly bumps right into his arms.
The trending topics become more and more impossible to look at!
But no one knows what happens after the cameras stop...
Ling Shu's ears turn red. He pushes away the man in front of him and shouts angrily, "Why did you really kiss me just now?"
