Tired of the Rain

A low-tier male actor vs. a major award-winning actress

Purehearted puppy boy and the entertainment industry's "player"

★ A fairy tale set in showbiz | A bedtime story | A battlefield of male rivals | A sweet romance between a handsome man and a beautiful woman

*

Meng Shiyuan is known throughout the entertainment industry as a "player." The actors who have dated her have all agreed: "She only dates. She doesn't fall in love."

Even so, few people have ever criticized her for it. The reason is simple: this woman is incredibly career-driven. She always believes you should love yourself before loving someone else. After seven years in bit parts and three years in leading roles, she won a Best Actress award. Her career wasn't held back by romance at all; if anything, it flourished, delighting both her career-focused fans and the fans who had watched her grow.

Xie Xiaoqi is a newcomer who has just entered the acting world. His first role was as Meng Shiyuan's guard. No one knows that years ago, on a street in Paris, he fell in love with her at first sight and buried his secret feelings deep in his heart.

Her eyes seemed full of affection no matter whom she looked at, yet the love never reached them. But one rainy night, Xie Xiaoqi clearly saw love in them, along with his own reflection.

Only later did Xie Xiaoqi understand that she didn't love him. She loved his identity: the heir to the Xie Group.

At first, Xie Xiaoqi: "She likes me, or why would she let me call her Big Sister?"

Later, Xie Xiaoqi: "She loves me, or why wouldn't she use someone else?"

A story about a purehearted puppy who learns the truth, turns dark, and still manages to delude himself.

"She hates rainy skies. After sharing a rainstorm with someone, she accepted an entire rainy season."

When Meng Shiyuan and Xie Xiaoqi finally break up:

Suitor No. 1: I'll put filming on hold and go after her.

Suitor No. 2: I'll put my trip abroad on hold and go after her.

Suitor No. 3: I'll put work on hold and go after her.

Xie Xiaoqi: Get lost. Don't you have wives of your own? I'm the dog here, so I'll chase her first.

Reading tips:

Happy ending. The male lead is inexperienced, the female lead is not. The female lead has dated before and is career-minded. The leads love each other. They both pursue one another, with more of the male lead chasing his wife.
