[Bad-Boy Handsome and Devoted x Spoiled Crybaby] [Top-Tier Star x Host]

1. Chi Niannian has a nemesis who's been at odds with her since they were kids.

Whenever they meet, they bicker. And yet, when they go too long without seeing each other, they miss one another.

In high school, Chi Niannian had a crush on the handsome guy in the class next door, only to get rejected.

Cen Luyang comforted her: "Goddesses like us aren't planning to date anyone."

But just a few days later, the school beauty won the guy over.

Niannian sniffled sadly and wiped away her tears. Young Master Cen draped his jacket over her head, hiding the sight of the little girl's tears.

With his hands in his pockets, he strolled beside her and drawled lazily:

"Don't cry. Worst comes to worst, you can just..."

Chi Niannian froze. "Huh?"

He grinned and continued, "Come collect scrap with me. I'll take seventy percent and you get thirty. How about it?"

"Get lost!"

2. After graduating from the acting department, Cen Luyang became an overnight sensation online for his bad-boy charm. With broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs, his smile captivated countless girls.

His fanbase exploded overnight.

But even after becoming a top-tier star, he shamelessly kept freeloading at her house.

Chi Niannian was a junior employee, squeezed dry by unspoken workplace rules, and had no choice but to leave her company.

She smiled as she said goodbye to her colleagues, then went home and hid in her room to cry.

Cen Luyang pulled the blanket off her head and wiped her face with a tissue. "Don't cry. Worst comes to worst, just be with me."

Chi Niannian gazed at him through tearful eyes. "You're so famous now. When would you have time to collect scrap with me?"

"No collecting scrap."

Cen Luyang draped an arm over her slender shoulders and smiled carelessly.

"Be with me. I'll support you."

3. After they got together, he appeared on the show she hosted. Chi Niannian read from the script politely and formally, pretending they weren't close.

She put on a serious expression. "May I ask if Mr. Cen plans to date anyone?"

"Whether or not I plan to date..." His eyes fixed directly on hers, and a soft laugh slipped into his voice.

"Don't you know, sweetheart?"

* The male lead establishes himself in showbiz through his talent and work. He's an actor and doesn't pretend to be single for publicity.

* The female lead is sensitive and cries easily, but she's absolutely not weak.

* The entertainment industry is fictional, and very loosely based on reality.

* No real-life inspirations! None of the characters are based on real people!
