A confident, handsome taekwondo instructor x a sly, gentle rising actor
Tu Ran became the strongest instructor at her martial arts school while still young. When she was invited to work as the martial arts choreographer for a TV drama, she noticed Ming Huancheng earnestly studying his lines. In his uniform, he looked fresh and refined, with lowered eyes and an almost impossibly obedient air.
Tu Ran: I want to tuck him in my pocket and protect him with all my might!
So she immediately decided: I'm going to win him over!
During filming, Tu Ran paid special attention to Ming Huancheng. Her words were always full of admiration and concern, and during takes she would frequently stop him to give him careful guidance. Sometimes, when their hands accidentally brushed, she could see him blush with nervousness.
Tu Ran was satisfied. She thought she had it in the bag.
Later, when she saw rumors linking him to another actress and remembered how lukewarm he had always been toward her, Tu Ran hesitated. She decided she might not be his type, and began gradually fading out of his life.
One day, on her way home from the martial arts school, Tu Ran found someone crouching outside her door. She bent down and tried to pull him up, asking what had happened, but he wouldn't budge.
She straightened up, wondering if she had missed some piece of entertainment-industry news. Just as she was withdrawing her hand, he suddenly grabbed it. His eyes were red as he looked at her and said in a hoarse, sorrowful voice, "Couldn't you have held on a little longer and coaxed me? I would've gotten up..."
[I spent fifteen years working up the courage to come toward you. Could you please not give up so quickly?]
-
The moment Ming Huancheng met Tu Ran's eyes on set, he knew she had forgotten him.
But now Tu Ran wasn't cold and distant toward him like before. Instead, she cared about him in every way. He was delighted, but also wanted to see what she was up to. He never expected that one rumor he hadn't had a chance to clear up would make her avoid him completely...
