I Was Only Acting When I Said I Loved You

Xiang Yibei and Gu Qinghan studied under the same mentor.

Back then, they were both gifted students at the acting academy.

Perhaps one mountain can't hold two tigers, and one river can't hold two dragons.

Rumor had it they didn't get along, and that they even came to blows over a role in their senior year.

Later,

Gu Qinghan became a top-tier star and a newly crowned Best Actor.

Xiang Yibei stayed on at the school as a teacher, occasionally taking small supporting roles.

They became each other's forbidden subject.

No one dared mention the other's name in front of them.

Everyone knew they were sworn enemies.

What no one knew was that

they had once admired each other,

kept each other company, and helped one another through the lowest points of their lives.

They had been in love. They had slept together.

In the end,

they lost each other in the crowd...
