Rising star Lin Nianwen had just been exposed in a dating rumor when, the very next day, news broke that her rumored boyfriend had cheated on her with a model. The story made the headlines.
People were hoping for a satisfying drama about her picking herself up, tearing into her ex, and leaving with her head held high. Instead, Lin Nianwen ate, slept, and filmed as usual, as though nothing had happened.
The onlookers left disappointed: What a waste of such a pretty face. Turns out she’s an idiot.
Emperor of Film Ji Mingxuan, who was filming with Lin Nianwen, furrowed his brows. Looking at the girl before him, holding a script and earnestly asking him for acting advice, he couldn’t help feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
"I remember telling you I don’t work with single actresses."
Lin Nianwen blinked her pretty almond-shaped eyes, and tears instantly welled up in them.
"Teacher Ji, to be honest, I... haven’t forgotten that person."
Ji Mingxuan, who had always kept work and personal matters separate, breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his elegant eyes and patiently coached her through the scene.
But after the film premiered and won awards, he couldn’t stomach it when he saw Lin Nianwen smiling sweetly at her ex-boyfriend onstage. So he cornered her backstage at the awards ceremony.
"You still haven’t forgotten him?"
Lin Nianwen hugged the Best Actress trophy in her arms, her almond-shaped eyes curving as she smiled like a little fox.
"Emperor Ji, are you jealous?"
The corner of Ji Mingxuan’s mouth lifted. He leaned down and whispered in Lin Nianwen’s ear.
"Best Actress Lin, stop acting. Everything has already turned out just as you wanted."
Later, Ji Mingxuan became a one-man movie-industry production crew, directing, writing, and acting, and went on to win the top award. Asked what had inspired his idea, he said only one thing:
"I just didn’t want to watch my wife smile at someone else."
I planned it all along, just so I could personally lead you into the gentle trap I had woven for you.
Then I would wait patiently for you to fall into my heart, little by little.
Scheming, sweet rising star X gentle, cunning Emperor of Film. One-on-one, happy ending.
The heroine only loves the hero.
