You're Quite the Actor

[A cocky, sickly pretty boy who puts on a great act and has a mouth tougher than his body x A hilarious, sweet, gorgeous superstar with a heart bigger than the sky]

Wen Ruqing is a nationally adored siren. Flashy by nature, she's been dogged by scandals ever since her debut, but nothing has stopped her from rising all the way to top-tier stardom.

She also has a handsome, wealthy fiance, Chen Lan.

The two are a perfect match, and deeply in love.

But just before the wedding, Chen Lan suddenly called off their engagement and publicly accused Wen Ruqing online of all sorts of misdeeds.

The internet erupted, and people hurled insults at Wen Ruqing nonstop.

Only Wen Ruqing knew that the night before, she'd caught Chen Lan in bed with a young model, passionately entwined.

Still fuming, Wen Ruqing glanced up and saw a handsome young man leaving a nearby university.

He was tall and lean, wearing a spotless white shirt. His left leg was in a cast, and he leaned on a crutch while looking at his phone. Sunlight caught the hem of his shirt, and his profile was striking.

His sickly, aloof air made him a hundred times more handsome than her scumbag ex!

Overcome by the urge to get revenge, Wen Ruqing pulled her red sports car right in front of him with a screech, lowered her oversized sunglasses, and smiled at the boy. "Hey! Would you be my fake boyfriend?"

She was sure her fame and beauty would be enough to win him over.

The boy bent down to look at her, then walked away without expression.

Wen Ruqing was furious. "...One million!"

The boy stopped, turned around, and got into her sports car.

-

Now that she'd found Jiang Xun's weakness, Wen Ruqing thought things would be much easier.

Money was no problem. Wen Ruqing had plenty of it.

As long as he was willing to play along, she could pay him whatever he wanted.

So she spent every day coming up with ways to pamper Jiang Xun.

When Jiang Xun got sick, she canceled ten-million-yuan contracts to stay with him.

When Jiang Xun was hungry, she ordered five-star takeout and had it delivered.

When it was cold after school, she picked him up in her luxury car.

She was terrified the young master would get upset and let her down.

-

Then one day, a globally renowned luxury conglomerate held a family banquet. Stars from every corner of the entertainment world dressed to impress, hoping to win a smile from the powerful family.

The elderly chairman took an instant liking to Wen Ruqing. Grasping her hand excitedly, he said, "My grandson has been your fan since middle school. His room is covered in your posters. He nearly became depressed when you started dating. He's finally getting to meet you today. Come, let's video call him. He'll be over the moon!"

Wen Ruqing smiled along politely. When the video connected, she stared at the familiar handsome face on the other end.

Jiang Xun: ...

Wen Ruqing: ???

1. The woman is two years older than the man. She spoils him; he has a secret crush on her and pursues her. Both are inexperienced.

2. There are two people showing off their love, and the scumbag regrets everything. I really love stories where the scumbag gets furious!
