[Blurb:]

Cool, beautiful, socially anxious female lead vs. narcissistic, silly, husky-like male lead

As a textbook introvert, Zhuo Nanshuang never leaves her home.

But who could have guessed she'd transmigrate into the body of a minor celebrity with a scandal-ridden reputation?

Zhuo Nanshuang: A minor celebrity?!

Isn't that terrifying!

During a live broadcast, the movie emperor falls and can't get back up. Zhuo Nanshuang is the only one nearby.

Everyone thinks that, given how obsessed Zhuo Nanshuang is with him, she'll take the chance to get handsy.

But instead-

After using her sleeve to shield her hand while helping the movie emperor up, Zhuo Nanshuang immediately walks away with her head held high, all cool and aloof, without even looking at him. She even seems a little disgusted?

Movie emperor: ???

Viewers: Did Zhuo Nanshuang get a personality transplant?

In reality, Zhuo Nanshuang is thinking: What am I supposed to say after helping him up so this won't be awkward...?

At a red carpet event, other actresses want to lie down on the carpet and never get up, so the host has to come pull them along.

Zhuo Nanshuang, on the other hand, is afraid she'll get left on the red carpet, so she heads straight for the host as soon as she gets out of the car.

Host: Miss Zhuo, how does it feel to walk the red carpet for the first time?

Zhuo Nanshuang gives the camera a cool glance and smiles faintly without saying a word.

That night, Zhuo Nanshuang takes over the trending searches:

#JustHowCoolAndAloofIsZhuoZhuo

#ZhuoZhuo: Here's a Look, Figure It Out Yourself

#Host: I Guess I Was Asking Too Much

In reality, Zhuo Nanshuang was thinking: I was terrified out of my mind...

--

The old Zhuo Nanshuang could only sway her hips and smile a few times. She couldn't do anything else.

Haters: She's nothing but a pretty face. This empty-headed beauty should get out of show business!

Now Zhuo Nanshuang is a talented singer, dancer, and actress, with excellent professional skills.

Former haters turned fans: Big sis, I'm yours!

Bai Wen is a newly crowned movie emperor, loved by everyone and admired by all. He's commonly known as the human embodiment of "grease."

Bai Wen: I'm just being humble ^v^

One day, Bai Wen is asked to take Zhuo Nanshuang, a guest from another group, along to a livestreaming variety show.

Everyone knows Zhuo Nanshuang has confessed her love to Bai Wen countless times, loudly and in a way that makes people want to smack her.

Bai Wen straightens his clothes and adjusts his posture, thinking disdainfully: Hmph, shallow woman! I'll give you a chance to fall at my feet!

Zhuo Nanshuang watches him preen: ???

Is something wrong with him?

Bai Wen: A humiliating defeat in life. Let's not talk about it, boo-hoo-hoo~

Later, when Bai Wen visits the company president's office, he notices the president always staring at him with deep resentment.

Bai Wen laughs smugly and brags to his girlfriend: See? This is the charm of a mature man! Every man will be jealous of you!

Zhuo Nanshuang: ...

How do I tell him that's his future father-in-law?

[Ongoing novel: Falling in Love with a Hopeless Romantic on a Dating Show as a Contrast Pair]

Ye Sui'an wakes up one morning and discovers that she and Shao Mo are side characters in a dating-show novel, meant to serve as a contrast pair.

In the book, online viewers think her and Shao Mo's couple act is too fake. She's accused of joining the show just to make money, gets mocked by the entire internet, and eventually leaves the entertainment industry in disgrace.

Ye Sui'an: Thanks. I've wanted to leave the entertainment industry for ages.

So Ye Sui'an decides to do whatever she wants. After all, everyone's already said it's fake.

The show begins.

Other couples show off their affection: "Kiss, sweetie~ Love you~ Mwah~"

Viewers: Aaaah, they're so sweet!

Ye Sui'an and Shao Mo:

Ye Sui'an leans over and holds Shao Mo's head. "Dummy, kiss me."

Shao Mo (shyly): =v=

A strong garlic smell hits her.

Ye Sui'an: Blech!

Viewers: Look, their true colors are showing! I told you they weren't sweet at all!

Other couples:

Man: "Sweetie, you smell so good today~"

Woman: "Darling, I put on perfume~"

They look into each other's eyes and smile. Their sweetness levels skyrocket.

Viewers: Aaaah, they're so sweet!

Ye Sui'an and Shao Mo:

After watching the other couples act all lovey-dovey, Ye Sui'an turns to Shao Mo. "Here, smell something nice."

Shao Mo leans over, expectantly. "What?"

Ye Sui'an turns around and pulls out a little toy that makes fart noises. "Pfft~"

Shao Mo: "Ugh!"

Viewers: He... he's just like that little bastard I date!

Halfway through the show,

Shao Mo feeds Ye Sui'an a potato chip and complains sadly about the comments online. "Look at how sweet everyone else is. Then look at us. We're so fake!"

Remembering the original plot, Ye Sui'an nods emphatically. "You're right, we're really fake!"

The other guests (furious): Are you freaking kidding me???

Viewers (excited): Their fake act is so real!

After the show ends,

A reporter interviews Ye Sui'an and Shao Mo: "How did you manage to seem so genuine on the show?"

The two of them (dumbfounded): "What? Genuine? What are you talking about???"
