Main couple’s blurb:

A sweet romance set in a world where same-sex marriage is legal.

After getting divorced, a popular young actress decides to focus on her career. To improve her acting, she turns to her rival, an award-winning actress, for advice.

“Um, I was asking about acting, not how to flirt with women. Did you teach me the wrong thing?”

Lin Qingyi: “No, I’m teaching you to flirt with me.”

Excerpt:

At a New Year’s Eve gala hosted by a TV station, Lin Qingyi and Qin Shiyue sing a love duet. Lin Qingyi takes the initiative and kisses Qin Shiyue.

Qin Shiyue is so stunned that she even forgets the lyrics.

Lin Qingyi calmly helps her finish the song.

That night, the whole internet is in an uproar. The award-winning actress Lin actually... actually kissed the popular talentless actress of her own accord...

The next day, an entertainment reporter interviews Lin Qingyi: “Did you kiss Qin Shiyue for the sake of the performance?”

Lin Qingyi: “No. I just wanted to kiss her.”

Years later, an entertainment reporter interviews them.

Reporter: “Everyone online says you dote on your wife, Ms. Qin. What do you think?”

Qin Shiyue: “You’ve all been fooled by her. She’s an amazing actress, but she treats me terribly.”

As she speaks, Qin Shiyue unconsciously rubs her nearly ruined waist. That woman is getting more and more outrageous!

Lin Qingyi looks at Qin Shiyue and smiles, her gaze brimming with allure. “When it comes to loving you, I don’t need to act.”

She’s so beautiful, and she loves me so much... Who could possibly resist that?

Supporting couple’s blurb:

Your ex stole your dream lover. Could anything be worse? Yes: marrying your ex’s older sister, Qin Shilan.

The person Kong Huizhi hates and fears most is Qin Shilan. No one else even comes close.

She just divorced the younger sister, only to marry her older sister. If she’d known, she wouldn’t have gotten divorced.

Kong Huizhi feels like there’s no way she can keep living like this.

Qin Shilan has a secret: she also likes Kong Huizhi, her younger sister’s wife. But she can only bury that secret deep in her heart. Now that Kong Huizhi and her sister are divorced, she might as well keep her in the family.

Feel free to stay or go. There’s no need to let me know.
