Going from a C-list actress to the heiress of a wealthy family, Ji Xia'an thinks this experience is even more outrageous than any melodrama she's ever acted in.

What's more outrageous is that she's also gained a wealthy fiance: Ren She.

She thought she and her wealthy fiance would treat each other with polite indifference, but it turns out Ren She seems to care quite a bit about her.

For instance:

He buys her necklaces, tells her she looks beautiful, and takes her hand of his own accord at family dinners.

When she's criticized by the entire internet, he even publicly announces that she's his fiancee.

Ji Xia'an can't help wondering to herself:

Could I really be that charming? Has even Boss Ren fallen at my feet?

To Ren She, Ji Xia'an appeared out of nowhere.

He only got engaged to her on a whim because his grandmother liked her.

He never cared much about romance and only wanted to treat Ji Xia'an with courtesy, but he kept catching threatening looks from his grandmother.

So he could only say:

"Do you like the necklace? I'll buy it for you."

"You look beautiful today."

"Hold on tight."

But later, he seemed unable to bear seeing Ji Xia'an suffer. One night, he registered a Weibo account and posted:

My fiancee @Ji Xia'an

Ever since it was revealed that Ji Xia'an was the long-lost daughter of the Cheng family and the future daughter-in-law of the Ren family, the whole internet had been fascinated by her background for half a month, speculating about what other identities she might have.

As it turns out, she did have another one.

Ji Xia'an is the most popular dream guide on the app Dreamland, with a million followers.

Her Goodnight series has the most plays of all, and her fiance, Ren She, records it with her.

The gossip-hungry crowd began discussing:

[I listen to this series to fall asleep all the time. You have no idea...]

[A top-tier star and a CEO are lulling me to sleep. Who won this round? I won't say.]

[I sent her a request once, and she even picked mine!]

[Why does this feel like they're showing off their relationship?]

Ji Xia'an: I only signed up for this thing because I was broke...

Ren She: I think I was the one who talked her into it...

Postcards from Afar

In her senior year of college, Wen Qing told Xu Zhao she wanted to study abroad. Xu Zhao nodded and said that was fine. Pursuing her dreams was the most important thing.

Wen Qing smiled, not noticing the flash of sadness in Xu Zhao's eyes.

Years later, after returning home, Wen Qing saw Xu Zhao at the company she was about to work with.

Xu Zhao leaned against the doorframe, his suit draped over his arm, chatting with the company owner with a broad smile. But when he turned and saw her, his smile vanished at once.

The company owner was a young woman who introduced Wen Qing, saying, "This is my brother."

Before she could say anything else, the girl sensed that something was off between them and asked cautiously, "You two know each other?"

Before Wen Qing could answer, Xu Zhao cut in: "We don't know each other."

Xu Zhao had barely left the office when Wen Qing hurried after him.

She wanted to know what he meant by saying they didn't know each other.

But as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Xu Zhao's car pull up right in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing his rather punchable face, followed by an even more punchable voice:

"No ride? Fine, I'll give you a lift."
