After graduating from film academy, Qu Yan landed supporting roles in several hit dramas thanks to her classmate and best friend Ouyang Yue, whose luck as a leading lady was off the charts. She eventually became a third-tier actress.
With Ouyang Yue supporting her, Qu Yan decided to lie flat: she didn't want to work hard anymore.
But good times didn't last. Ouyang Yue's leading-lady luck faded one day, and not only did her career start going downhill, but she also ran into one crisis after another in both work and life.
At a cocktail party, Qu Yan saw her friend being pestered by a sleazy director. She gripped her champagne glass and was about to rush over when... she had only taken two steps before bumping into a cold and handsome man, spilling champagne all over his custom designer suit.
Rong Jingyao glanced down at the stain on his clothes and frowned in annoyance. He had just received a call ending his engagement, and now some woman was throwing herself at him, using such a clumsy trick.
Qu Yan put on a bright smile. "I'm sorry. I'll pay for..."
He gave her a cold, mocking smile, then turned and walked away.
Qu Yan's almond-shaped eyes widened. "...Do you have any manners?"

Qu Yan got a desperate call from Ouyang Yue and learned someone had drugged her at a hotel. She hurried over to help.
After going to great lengths to rescue Ouyang Yue and take her to another room, Qu Yan came back out and ran into Rong Jingyao, who had also been drugged and was flushed red.
Rong Jingyao tugged at his tie and let out a cold laugh. "So it was you."
Qu Yan: ...
It wasn't me. Don't look at me. I don't know anything.

After running into each other time and again through one coincidence after another, Rong Jingyao finally found himself falling for this woman. Then he discovered that there was no place for him in her heart.
He blocked Qu Yan's path, his eyes dark, and began coldly, "If you weren't planning to seduce me..."
"Baby!" The beautiful woman before him, with her delicate features, cut him off.
The man's ears suddenly turned red. His eyes gleamed as he was about to say more, only to see Qu Yan look past his shoulder and wave enthusiastically at Ouyang Yue in the distance. Qu Yan was calling her baby.
Rong Jingyao swallowed his words in frustration.
