[The follow-up to "Playing Pretend" is now underway!]
In everyone else's eyes, Rong Mi has always been devoted to her career, single-mindedly focused on making money and uninterested in romance. From a top student who concentrated on her studies in college to the elegant and beautiful head chef of an upscale restaurant, no one knew that she and Xu Lingjun had spent ten years together.
Not just anyone can be a superstar's secret lover. By the tenth year of their absurd relationship, Rong Mi was exhausted in body and mind, and ruthlessly ended things.
She knew Xu Lingjun would soon find someone new to take her place. The day she left, she took nothing with her. She only wanted to take a long break and travel alone.
When the news got out...
Her restaurant partner was overjoyed: Mimi, can you consider my proposal now?
The handsome, sunny guy she met abroad was enthusiastic: Miss Rong, let me plan the rest of your trip for you.
The top-tier star who only realized what he'd lost after his wife was gone: ...
All of you, get lost!!
-
Xu Lingjun came from a prestigious family. He was unruly and had the face of a handsome mixed-race guy. After his debut, his popularity soared. Whenever he waved, crowds of people would flock to him. He had never truly taken Rong Mi to heart.
He always thought that no matter when he turned around, she would be waiting there.
Then one day, she was gone. Nothing felt right anymore, and only then did he realize he couldn't live without her.
He would risk everything to win her back.
-
She thought leaving without a word would be the end.
She never expected him to turn around and chase after her relentlessly, clinging to her for dear life.

Coming soon: "Playing for Real"
Onstage, Lin Yi could sing and dance beautifully. As the beloved visual of her girl group, she was the most popular member and had countless fans. In her third year after debuting, she reached the top, and every stop on her world tour sold out and became a sensation.
Her career was at its peak when she learned that her boyfriend's long-missing first love, presumed dead, had suddenly come back to life.
Only then did she understand that Xu Zhengze gave her everything without reservation, except his true feelings.
She was nothing but a so-called replacement.
Lin Yi turned and walked away without hesitation.
Fine, she was out. She'd make room for the tragic lovers.

At two in the morning, luxury cars filled the space outside Minghua's most famous nightclub, where celebrities and socialites indulged in pleasure.
Lin Yi was surrounded by people. In the snowy weather, she wore nothing but a tight miniskirt, her tipsy face radiantly alluring.
A tall man's figure in the distance was already dusted with white snow. Someone leaned close to her ear and laughed loudly, "Hey, which rich young master has come to profess his devotion to Sister Lin today?"
Ever since she became single, Lin Yi had no shortage of admirers. But someone deliberately stirred things up: "Could you have it wrong? Is President Xu here to pick up his first love?"
The girl left at the edge of the crowd trembled at the words. Her features bore a five- or six-tenths resemblance to Lin Yi's. Her eyes reddened as she called out expectantly, "A-Ze..."
Amid the crowd's jeers, Xu Zhengze walked past without looking at her. He lifted the coat from his shoulders, shook off the snow, and wrapped Lin Yi from head to toe.
Lin Yi pushed his hand away in annoyance. "What are you doing?"
"Having fun?" The man's voice was low, but full of undisguised pleading and an attempt to please her.
"It's cold at night. I'm here to take you home."
*
After years together, everyone around them said Lin Yi was too difficult, and Xu Zhengze wouldn't indulge her forever. Their ill-fated relationship was bound to end sooner or later. They also said that Xu Zhengze's first love, the one he held dear in his heart, had survived disaster and returned to his side, making them a match written in heaven.
Who could have guessed that this destined match wouldn't catch his eye, while he clung desperately to his ill-fated relationship and refused to let go?
Even Lin Yi herself hadn't expected it.
This ill-fated relationship became real as she kept making trouble.
