Everyone knew that the famous actress Meng NDie was the little plaything Third Master Shen of Nancheng kept in the palm of his hand. One day, he might simply decide to throw her away.
She alone didn't realize it. Despite having the title of Best Actress, she went to the Shen Corporation several times to look for him, only to be politely shown out by his secretary.
It was because Third Master Shen had once said that actors had always been at the bottom of society, unfit to be seen in public. So they could only pretend to know each other at night.

At first, Meng NDie attached herself to Shen Yanli so she could live a better life. She needed an audition that would make her famous, while he needed a beauty to serve as an excuse to fend off his family's arranged marriage!
People said that back then, Shen Yanli had raised his "swallowtail butterfly" too high, so when her wings were suddenly broken and she fell, anyone could step on her.
Through the curtain of rain, Meng NDie looked at the man's indifferent expression as he stood beneath the eaves, and for the first time felt a chill rise from deep within her. So the person he held in his heart was someone else!

Later, Meng NDie had a swallowtail butterfly tattooed on her ankle, concealing an unbearably ugly scar beneath it.
Shen Yanli leaned forward and knelt on one knee, gently lifting her dainty foot. He was so careful, as if afraid of damaging a priceless treasure he had yearned for but never been able to possess.
He said, "Your butterfly would look better on your waist, where it could smile only for me, fluttering enticingly."
Meng NDie sneered and pulled back her high heel. Her glossy lips parted: "Get lost. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

1. One-on-one, both leads' first time, an old-fashioned groveling-to-win-her-back story, happy ending.
2. Contains author-invented details, no real-life models.
3. The hero has no first love! It's all a misunderstanding!
