A Rose for You [Entertainment Industry]

Everyone at No. 1 High School knew that school beauty Zhou Ruan was proud and flamboyant, like a wild rose growing in a muddy swamp. She looked down on everyone.

Until someone spread the news: Zhou Ruan had "forced a kiss" on Chen Jiao.

The young man was beautiful, difficult to approach, and cold by nature. He wore his ambition openly, and his precocious mind made him exceptional, but also set him apart from his peers.

Everyone thought Zhou Ruan was throwing herself at Chen Jiao. Only she knew that sometimes, one glance was enough to make you fall in too deep.

Zhou Ruan had thought Chen Jiao understood her, until one day she heard him say with her own ears, "What girlfriend? It's just for fun."

Only then did Zhou Ruan realize that Chen Jiao had never liked her.

*

Many years later, they meet again. Zhou Ruan is now a popular rising star, while Chen Jiao has climbed into the top three of the young rich list in the financial world.

During an interview with a financial news outlet, someone asks, "Mr. Chen, do you have a favorite ship?"

The young man, who is usually so serious, pauses.

He raises his eyes to the camera and says, "Jiao Ruan, does that count?"

[The whole world says we're using each other,

only the wind knows how much I love you.]

Rumor has it that Second Young Master Luo is paranoid and suspicious, volatile, and a madman who cares for no one. But when Su Yihe gets close, she discovers that he's captivating and gentle, innocent and easy to coax, and that a single freehand brushstroke of his can bewitch everyone.

Su Yihe resolves to win him over, sparing no effort to figure out what he likes and cater to his tastes, putting all her cunning into it.

Until one day, Su Yihe sees the mint dice hidden in Luo Rifei's sleeve, and realizes she's fallen into a trap laid long ago. She is the prey that walked right into the snare.

*

In the dark studio, Luo Rifei pins Su Yihe against the camera.

He leisurely rolls up his sleeves and removes his bracelet. With great care and tenderness, he gathers her long hair between his fingers and ties it tightly, circling the mint-dice bracelet around it again and again.

Luo Rifei's expression is dark and his breath scorching. He caresses her cheek and murmurs gently, "Su Yihe. Your comeuppance has arrived."

[Someone built a castle in his heart, waiting only for the princess to walk into his trap so he could keep her hidden away.]

[Someone else hid their love in a painting, where it came alive in water and could never be erased from this life.]
