A cool, aloof movie star who takes his roles way too seriously x a quirky girl who only pretends to be sweet
With her face made for playing a sweet heroine, Qu Yaoyao drew plenty of attention as soon as she entered the industry. Everyone envied her for getting to star in a romantic comedy with movie star Gu Shu. But who could have guessed that this cool, beautiful actress with top-notch acting skills was a completely delusional drama addict!
Gu Shu planted a hand on his hip and pinned her against the wall, gazing at her with deep affection. "Nai Nai, though I've known for a long time that you're not good enough for me..."
Even though she was wearing a mask of pure anguish inside, Qu Yaoyao still had to keep up her sweet-girl smile and play along.
Qu Yaoyao: "But I really like you! I won't give up!"
Qu Yaoyao no longer cared why he switched roles at the drop of a hat. She just wanted to know:
Which clueless editor wrote this cringey, outdated script?
Stuck playing the sweet girl from the script, she had to go along with Gu Shu slipping into character at every moment, unable to distinguish acting from reality.
All she could do was comfort herself: she'd treat it as acting practice and fan-service for the couple.
Once the promotional work was over, they could go their separate ways. But then he confessed to her!
Before Qu Yaoyao could give in and come clean, the guy said, "I understand. So you've been lying to me this whole time."
Now it was Qu Yaoyao's turn to be heartbroken. But somehow, she really had fallen in love with him.
This time, she had to make Gu Shu fall in love with her, the real her.
Gu Shu: "Yaoyao, when we go up to accept the award later, be sure to thank me in your speech!"
Qu Yaoyao: "Who are you talking to?"
When the cool, melancholy beauty smiled, there was an almost childlike innocence and softness in her expression. "I won't get it wrong again. You're Yaoyao, not Nai Nai."
P.S. The drama the leads act in at the beginning takes inspiration from Takeru Satoh and Mone Kamishiraishi's Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo. In fact, the main couple in this story was inspired by that pairing.
