[The CP setup has been revised]
The year she graduated from college, Chen Zhixia followed her mother's arrangements and took an internship at the magazine where her mother worked. From then on, she almost completely lost touch with her old classmates and friends.
Years later, to save the magazine from shutting down, Chen Zhixia once again followed her mother's arrangements and joined a dating reality show, taking on all the publicity and marketing duties herself.
At the filming location, she unexpectedly ran into her longtime rival, whom she hadn't seen in years.
To fulfill her mission of reviving the magazine and gain popularity, she sought out her rival and proposed they pretend to be a couple, all while under immense pressure.
They agreed on three rules:
1. Their arrangement would last only for the duration of filming.
2. They would stay professional and not get distracted by someone else.
3. They wouldn't let their fake relationship become real.
But Chen Zhixia discovered that she'd somehow been drawn into the role by the other woman.
They almost made their act real.
Chen Zhixia, who had never been one to admit defeat, resolved to give it her all.
Even if it was only acting, she would do a better job than Yue Donghan.
Until she learned that Yue Donghan had secretly been in love with her since high school.
"There will always be another summer after this one."
"After parting, we'll meet again."
"I've always believed that."
1. Highly sensitive, proud perfectionist x outwardly carefree, inwardly steadfast long-termist
2. Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins
3. Not an entertainment-industry story
4. Updates follow the rankings
Theme: Everyone is the protagonist of their own life
