Wen Qiao transmigrates into a melodramatic showbiz novel as the fragile, vine-like ex-wife of the male lead, who dies of depression.
As the secretly married wife of a popular Best Actor, she joins a dating show in hopes of saving her marriage, only to become a foil for the heroine.
She's weak-willed and never fights for anything, so she fades into the background on the show. The heroine, by contrast, is cheerful and outgoing, dares to dream and act, and captures the attention of every male guest.
After the dating show ends, the male lead asks for a divorce. Wen Qiao's next appearance is just a passing mention that she died of depression.
Thinking about how she'll end up dying of depression because her love goes unreturned, Wen Qiao decides to stay away from the leads and leave showbiz! She wants to lie flat and be a lazy fish!
Faced with an astronomical contract termination fee, Wen Qiao checks her bank balance and turns ashen. She grits her teeth and decides to keep taking part in the dating show, planning to act like a spoiled brat until the company buries her.
While the other guests politely defer to one another over who gets to choose a date, Wen Qiao avoids the male lead and picks Huo Jingqing, who looks the most handsome, the richest, and the most dangerous to provoke.
As the original novel's final villain, he goes bankrupt and kills himself in despair. If she makes him furious, won't he get her blacklisted for good?!
For a challenge where they have to compete for a place to stay, Wen Qiao simply orders Huo Jingqing, "Why do we need to fight over a dump like this? I want an underwater suite at Atlantis."
During a sweet moment when they're supposed to prepare gifts for each other, Wen Qiao shows up empty-handed. "Aren't I the gift Heaven gave you?"
When she sees the other guests preparing a cozy dinner together, Wen Qiao not only bossily dumps the task on Huo Jingqing, but lounges nearby counting stars. After trying a bite of Huo Jingqing's cooking, she puts down her chopsticks in disgust. "Why does this taste so bad?"
Viewers: How could anyone put up with someone so spoiled?!
Wen Qiao thinks so too.
To her surprise, Huo Jingqing buys Atlantis and gives it to her as a gift. He even hires five top chefs, each specializing in a different cuisine, to wait on her whenever she wants.
If the production crew hadn't stopped him, Huo Jingqing would have moved the entire filming location to the temperate Southern Hemisphere, just because Wen Qiao dislikes the chilly autumn weather.
No matter how spoiled Wen Qiao acts, Huo Jingqing agrees to everything with a good-natured smile.
Wen Qiao doesn't believe it, so she looks up Huo Jingqing's background.
That's right!
He's the domineering CEO with an explosive temper and a notoriously difficult personality!
Viewers: They're flirting on the company dime! I'm so into it!
Viewers: The CEO and his spoiled sweetheart are such a great couple!
After the dating show becomes a huge hit, all kinds of S-rank opportunities come flying her way like snowflakes.
Wen Qiao is stunned. This is completely different from what she expected!!!
All she wanted was to stay away from the plot and be a lazy fish!
*The original male and female leads have no romantic feelings for each other, so there is no cheating.
*The original heroine doesn't turn evil or get into a catfight.
