Qin Ruoyu woke up to find that she had been bound to a System and transmigrated into her favorite danmei novel, The Idol and the Top-Tier Star: A Few Stories, where she had become a universally disliked celebrity hated across the internet.
The System gave her a special Weibo account. She had to post photos and videos of the male leads to gain fans and likes, earning luck in exchange. Only by escaping her reputation as the internet's most hated celebrity could she survive.
In the novel, Best Actor Gu Qing'an and top-tier star Ye Fengran were sworn enemies. After hundreds of clashes, they came to admire each other and secretly fell in love.
The character Qin Ruoyu had transmigrated into had a crush on Gu Qing'an and was nothing less than a stumbling block on the road to romance between him and Ye Fengran.
Qin Ruoyu looked horrified. She didn't want to be a stumbling block. She wanted to play matchmaker.
So, to help this CP get together as soon as possible, and to earn more likes and shed her universally hated status, Qin Ruoyu went to great lengths. She willingly took hits and fended off admirers for the two male leads, and even helped them get together and create opportunities for romance.
But after a while, Qin Ruoyu noticed that the way her beloved CP looked at her was getting stranger and stranger.
At last, one day, the two of them cornered her backstage at the same time.
Both were devastatingly handsome, their eyes red-rimmed. Each grabbed one of her arms. “Give us a straight answer. Which one of us do you like?”
Qin Ruoyu: ??? Wasn’t this supposed to be a danmei novel? Did I accidentally read a bootleg?
Gu Qing'an realized that Qin Ruoyu had been acting very strangely lately.
When she filmed scenes opposite him, she kept looking at his nemesis, Ye Fengran, as if she were afraid Ye Fengran might get upset.
Worst of all, Qin Ruoyu had risked the director's anger by insisting that they film their kissing scene using camera angles that made it look like they were kissing when they weren't.
Gu Qing'an's expression darkened. Did Qin Ruoyu have no professional integrity as an actor at all?!
So, while Qin Ruoyu was lining up the shot, Gu Qing'an, who lived for acting, kissed her hard on the lips and shot Ye Fengran a provocative look.
Sure enough, Ye Fengran looked angrier than a blackened pot.
Gu Qing'an had always thought Qin Ruoyu secretly liked him, until one day he saw the little story she'd posted on an app:
“Gu Qing'an grabbed Ye Fengran by the waist with a wicked smile and lifted him into his arms.”
Gu Qing'an saw red. He didn't want to grab Ye Fengran by the waist. He damn well wanted to grab him by the throat!
#The woman I love wants me to hold another man?!
Ye Fengran couldn't understand it. The woman he'd had a crush on for over twenty years had fallen for his nemesis, Gu Qing'an. Not only that, she'd asked him to help her pursue Gu Qing'an.
Apart from being older than him, what did Gu Qing'an have that he didn't? How had he managed to bewitch Qin Ruoyu so completely?
Even when they appeared on a variety show together, Qin Ruoyu wouldn't give him a friendly hug. And when he finally got his arms around her, she kept glancing at Gu Qing'an.
What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll hold you even tighter!
That hug went on for five minutes and shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Just as Ye Fengran had finally figured things out and worked up the courage to confess, he came across a little story Qin Ruoyu had posted on an app:
“...Gu Qing'an held both of Ye Fengran's arms above his head with one hand, his long legs pressing between Ye Fengran's...”
Ye Fengran was furious: If that bastard Gu Qing'an ever tried that pose on him, he'd make sure Gu Qing'an was left unable to have children the very next second!
#The woman I love wants another man to pin me down. Does she think I can't handle it?
