Wen Yi is a newly crowned Best Actress, a dazzling and pampered heiress. Lu Zhao is a once-popular top-tier star, a cool and dejected young master.
They play a couple, know each other well, but have always kept things professional.
When Wen Yi’s boyfriend cheats on her, she decides to make the cheating couple furious by turning make-believe into reality and marrying Lu Zhao.
Wen Yi lays down the terms up front: “I’ll pay off your debts, and you’ll pretend we’re madly in love. We each get what we want.”
Lu Zhao thinks it over seriously. “There’s no need to keep such strict accounts.”

After the two announce their marriage, many gossip accounts claim it’s just a marriage of convenience and that they’re really seeing other people.
Wen Yi responds by signing on for a dating reality show. In her opening remarks, she boasts that she took advantage of Lu Zhao and married him with ease.
Lu Zhao clarifies, “I fell in love with her at first sight. It took everything I had to marry her, and I’m still trying to win her over.”
Wen Yi is stunned. “Isn’t that a bit over the top?”
She thinks it’s just for the show, but later discovers he’s telling the truth.

When the reality show and their movie air, their “Yi-Lu” pairing becomes a sensation.
But her ex and his new girlfriend don’t last. He comes to his senses and tries to get Wen Yi back, willing to be the other man, and keeps harassing her.
At a high-end jewelry banquet, Lu Zhao escorts Wen Yi. He never swears, but makes an exception to say one word: “Get lost.”
Wen Yi and Lu Zhao usually treat each other with courteous respect, but that night, he traps her in one passionate kiss after another.
“If he weren’t around, would you have married me? Could you take pity on me and try to love me?”
