Back in high school, Jiang Wanning kept a little secret in her heart: she had quietly had a crush on Xu Nanyan.
He was a gifted boy, wild and rebellious. Wherever he went, a crowd followed in his wake.
Jiang Wanning couldn't even manage to cross paths with him once.
Years later, the distance between them was still just as great.
He had become a hot new top-tier star, surrounded by bodyguards and drawing a sea of people wherever he went.
She was one of that sea of people, catching only a fleeting glimpse as he dashed into his van.
Later, Xu Nanyan was caught up in a scandal. Rumors flew, and his reputation plummeted. In a corner of the airport, she saw him with his head bowed, smoking, lonely and dejected.
Jiang Wanning carefully put away her fan sign, took a small box of sponge cakes from her bag, and worked up the courage to approach him. "Xu Nanyan, would you like to try some cake?"
She tilted her head and smiled gently. "I made it."
Her crush had fallen from his pedestal, and with one little come-hither, she had him wrapped around her finger.

Jiang Wanning had achieved the dream she'd once thought impossible.
To keep her unattainable crush at home and cook for him every day.
Time passed, and at last someone came forward to refute the rumors.
His name was cleared overnight, the top-tier star returned, and the entire entertainment industry celebrated.
Half of the man's face hidden in shadow, he scrolled through the comments, his mouth twitching. "Damn it, who told you to post that?"
He couldn't keep pretending to be pitiful anymore!!!

Ever since Xu Nanyan entered the entertainment industry, rumors linking him to women had come as thick and fast as fish crossing a river or willow fluff drifting in the wind.
His fans sneered coldly. "A god's face is meant to bless all humanity. How could mere mortals ever be worthy of him?"
Then one day, Xu Nanyan held Jiang Wanning close and sweetly announced their relationship.
His fans looked at the gentle, refined lifestyle and food blogger and could only offer tearful congratulations: Don't say another word. She really is worthy of him.
That night, everyone in the country was heartbroken, men and women alike.
Later, Xu Nanyan's best friend got drunk and blurted out his secret.
"Xu Nanyan might look like a wild, rebellious bad boy, but he's really a total coward. He's a damn wimp."
"Back in high school, when he wanted to see the girl he had a crush on, he'd drag a whole group of people along. Can you believe that shit?"
*Wild, rebellious top-tier star VS gentle, refined lifestyle and food blogger
