[Stoic, clingy CEO x carefree, all-around ACE]
Luo Yu is a cannon-fodder supporting actress in a feel-good entertainment-industry novel.
To change her tragic fate, she takes her career seriously, hoping to win the favor of the most powerful big shot in the book, Jing Yichen.
But the big shot wears a cold, abstinent face and pays no attention to this obscure nobody.
Luo Yu gives up.
She plans to coast through the book, waiting to die, and be a pretty but useless vase of a supporting actress.
On a film set, she's a background extra with the Nth-most important role, hiding in a corner and weeping over the cleaner auntie's love story.
On an idol survival show, she's a laid-back host, enthusiastically cued by the male contestants to serve as a backdrop. She means to be unremarkable, but accidentally shows off her singing and dancing skills.
On the Cannes red carpet, she reluctantly wraps herself in a down jacket, showing only her fair little face, yet smiling more sweetly than a flower.
And then...
The director on set spots her knack for shedding a tear in one second, and is dazzled by her peerless beauty.
So she gets a flood of film and TV offers. Check!
The four judges praise her outstanding musicality and dance talent. The audience notices her clear, flawless skin and her ability to sing and dance.
So she becomes a hit as an all-around host. Check!
At the Cannes Film Festival, reporters are drawn to her smile and snap away with their cameras, creating the iconic "Goddess in the Snow" photo.
So she earns the title "ceiling of beauty." Check!
As time passes, Luo Yu realizes she has somehow become wildly famous.
As for winning the big shot's favor...
Ha.
Isn't focusing on your career great? Why rely on a man?

Jing Yichen's life has always been dull and tedious.
That is, until a chatty little girl appeared by his side.
Her eyes shone brightly, as though they held countless stars.
But when he tried to grasp those stars, she had already left.
He lowers himself, hoping to coax her back...
Only to see Luo Yu gazing at handsome men with starry eyes, excitedly picking them out:
"Mmm, this one has abs~"
"This one is handsome!"
"Oh, oh, oh! This one knows how to act cute!"
Jing Yichen scoops her up and pins her against the table, his hands braced on either side of her. Dark waves churn in his eyes.
"I have abs, I'm handsome, and I know how to act cute."
His voice is low and steady. "Is that good enough?"
Luo Yu: ... (swallows)
