Blurb for this novel:

Lin Yu is a small-time internet celebrity who, through a twist of fate, gets invited to take part in a dating reality show.

According to the show's script, the male guest who catches her eye at first sight is a singer in the industry.

But after seeing Chen Yue for the first time, she decides to tear up the script.

Before long, thanks to her efforts, her pairing with Chen Yue becomes a hit. Netizens name them the Teardrop Mole Couple and spend every day urging Chen Yue to give in to her.

And so, the show's daily routine becomes:

He runs, she chases, and he has no chance of escape.

[Mini Scene]

Chen Yue is chatting with someone beside him. Lin Yu feels ignored and gets a little upset.

She clears her throat and softly calls his name.

Chen Yue quickly turns to her and asks quietly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yu still has a tangerine in her hand that she's peeling. She glances at the hair beside her right ear and hints, "Can you tuck it back for me? It's covering my eye."

He doesn't think much of it. Just as he reaches out to tuck the troublesome hair behind her ear, Lin Yu suddenly pops a peeled segment of tangerine into his mouth, then asks with feigned seriousness, "Try it. Is it sweet?"

Chen Yue is startled by her sudden move, but quickly recovers. He pushes the tangerine into his mouth with his hand, then can't help lowering his head and laughing.

After savoring it carefully, he reaches over and takes a segment from Lin Yu's hand. Just as she did, he places it by her lips. His warm fingertip brushes against them by accident. He gazes at her with a smile and says, word by word, "It's very sweet. You should try some too."

Lin Yu believes him, but the sour juice instantly fills her mouth. Frowning at Chen Yue, she says aggrievedly, "You tricked me."

Chen Yue looks smug and teases, "That's what it means to share both joy and hardship."

One-on-one, both are each other's first and only love. She pursues him. A sweet romance.
