Lin Nian has a sweet, stunning face and a voice as soft and intoxicating as honey, but she's famous in the entertainment industry for being a scheming flirt.
Top-tier star Bai You is her mentor on a survival show, and she takes advantage of him to stir up dating rumors and hype their CP.
A talented up-and-coming actor stars in a drama with her, and rumors about them start flying.
Every male celebrity who's ever worked with her has ended up dragged into a trending topic alongside her.
Yet Lin Nian insists she never uses CP pairings for publicity. When reporters interview her, she smiles sweetly and says, "We're all friends!"
Bystanders and other artists' fans: The tea is strong.jpg
.
Lin Nian and Bai You reunite on an outdoor travel variety show, and the CP topic once again takes over the top spot on the trending charts.
Bai You has a sharp, aloof profile and beautiful, bewitching eyes.
He's widely recognized as a genius in the industry. He's a great actor and singer, every show he appears in becomes a hit, and every song he releases goes viral. His family has a fortune in assets, yet he could rely on connections and chooses to get by on his looks and talent instead.
Cool and taciturn, proud and refined, he naturally looks down on people who use CP pairings to generate publicity.
No one expected Lin Nian to dare piggyback on Bai You's fame. Everyone was just waiting for Bai You to fall out with the scheming flirt.
Behind the cameras, in the deep of night, Bai You gazes at her nonchalantly beneath the dim yellow lights. His long arm traps her slender shoulder just as she tries to escape.
His long, elegant fingers point to a trending topic about her and a male actor from their group.
"If you're going to hype a CP, at least pick the right person."
.
People in the industry watch Lin Nian and Bai You grow more and more ambiguous, sneering with pity.
A little star with no connections actually thinks she can marry into a wealthy family and become the mistress of that aloof, cold-hearted young master.
In the unseen backstage area of an event, Bai You holds Lin Nian in his arms. She speaks gently, blinking her tear-filled eyes at him. "You promised we were only pretending. You can't kiss me."
Bai You's lashes tremble. His fingertip trails up her cheek and slips into her hair, the longing in his eyes astonishingly intense.
"You've been using me for so long..."
"Can't I break my promise just once?"
.
Later, their CP pairing takes off like wildfire, and their intimate moments frequently make the trending charts.
On the variety show, they're giving out sugar every day. Viewers: Bai You is just pretending for the cameras, forced to be polite.
Off the show, rumors about them are everywhere. Viewers: Lin Nian isn't good enough for Bai You. She's not fit to be seen in public with him.
At last, a reporter corners Bai You and asks, "I heard you two turned your on-screen romance into a real one while filming this project. Is that true?"
Bai You pauses. "No."
Everyone thinks he's about to use the opportunity to clear up the rumors.
But Bai You lazily turns the microphone aside, the smile on his lips full of meaning. "I haven't won her over yet."
That night, the trending charts explode.
Haters: W-Who's pursuing whom?
Fans: Holy crap! My CP is real!!!

Theme: Love isn't about appearances.
Accepted. The female protagonist is so pretentious, and the male protagonist is also pretentious. Neither of them has a mouth yet. You are thinking in your world and I am thinking in mine. It has been more than fifty chapters and no misunderstandings have been solved. I really can't watch anymore.

Come on, it looks really good! It's true! A ten-year veteran reader online for sure!
A speechless middle-aged man

It's a bit hard to figure out whether the male protagonist doesn't like the female protagonist or is somewhat interested in her orz
