I Thought I Was the Female Lead

(Showbiz exes reality dating show + charged flirtation + fake cannon fodder, real female lead)

Original title: She Became Famous on a Dating Show After Losing Her Memory

When Tang Beibei comes to, she discovers she's transmigrated ten years into the future.

The good news: She's on a hugely popular dating show and might get paired up with her idol!

The bad news: She's competing with a rising starlet and getting mocked online for engaging in a female-on-female rivalry. The whole internet is turning against her!

Tang Beibei, eighteen in mind and a total rookie, stares at the trending topic demanding she leave the dating show and is left speechless:

Wait... I haven't even had my big break yet, and I've already been knocked down and left on the beach?

When she sees that her idol seems to have a beloved CP of his own, Tang Beibei's heart turns to ashes.

Just as she starts wondering whether she can afford the breach-of-contract penalty, her assistant tells her the dating show is scripted. Before filming, she'd worked with the troublemaker in her idol's group, the one who had always been at odds with him.

The two had agreed to fake a CP on the show and play out a mutual-falling-in-love storyline?!

Seriously? Has her future self switched allegiances that quickly?

Thinking about how that guy and her idol never got along, and how she'd secretly wished he would get instant noodles with no seasoning packet back when she was a solo fan, a chill runs through Tang Beibei. She suspects the show's script is about to fall apart.

"You..."

While she frets over how to act, the troublemaker, who once took lessons in how to charm male gods, looks down at her. He gently tucks her windblown hair behind her ear, his voice unusually husky:

"Baby, your face is so red. Are you thinking of doing something naughty to me again? Hmm?"

"Baby, you really are..."

His deliberately drawn-out words make Tang Beibei's heart skip a beat. Looking at his face and figure, which suddenly hit all her buttons, she feels like she really might switch sides!

"A fickle thing, always chasing something new."

In her previous life, Tang Beibei was taken in by a fortune-stealing System. She thought she was the heroine, but ultimately became a disgraced actress whom everyone despised.

Her career and love life were both ruined, and Tang Beibei saw no hope ahead.

She thought she would end up alone, but unexpectedly, the troublemaker who had always been at odds with her was the one who liked her most.

In the second before she lost consciousness, Tang Beibei dimly saw the usually confident, flamboyant man holding her tenderly, nearly pressed against her as if they were becoming one. His eyes were red at the corners.

"Don't worry. I'll always be by your side."

"I won't leave you alone again. I promise."
