Partners on a Deadline

Failed screenwriter Song Zhiyu has a secret tucked away in her heart: she wants to make popular star Lu Yanqiu her go-to leading man. She wouldn't dare tell anyone. Countless screenwriters were lining up to pitch scripts to Lu Yanqiu. How could a lowly screenwriter from the thirty-sixth tier of the industry dare to dream of such a thing? . She never expected that one day, a senior in the industry would come down with acute appendicitis and, before going into surgery, entrust her with a script, asking her to make sure it reached Lu Yanqiu. What she expected even less was that, just after she knocked on Lu Yanqiu's door, the neighborhood management would show up to announce a lockdown. From today on, people could enter, but nobody could leave. . On the first day of their forced cohabitation, Song Zhiyu realized that Lu Yanqiu was ten thousand times more handsome in person than he was on TV. His personality was ten thousand times worse, too. On camera, he was a gentleman, considerate and polite. Even when he danced with a female guest on a variety show, he kept a safe distance of fifteen centimeters. In real life, the celebrity turned into a husky that tore up the house if he stayed indoors for even a day. He'd lie on the balcony and howl like a wolf, then channel his inner rapper with a guitar, or drag Song Zhiyu into doing a jump-rope workout. . To keep Lu Yanqiu from making a racket, Song Zhiyu tried every trick in the book: tempting him with good food, rewarding him with gold stars, and threatening to cut off his food supply. Then she came across a comment online: Huskies tear up the house because they're full of energy. Take them out until they're exhausted, and problem solved. She was thinking it over. A burning chest pressed against her back. The man's low voice sounded by her ear. "Screenwriter, I swept the floor and washed the dishes today, and I quietly read my book without making a sound. Does that mean I can be in Love with Four Male Gods with you? You wrote the script yourself, so you should play the lead. I can play all four male leads." Song Zhiyu was horrified. "How do you know about the Mary Sue story I scribbled in elementary school!!!" Theme: What matters in life is experiencing it. Happiness is forever.
