The sweet, self-interested goddess × the taciturn, attentive, loyal bodyguard

After pretending to be someone she's not among the crowd for so long, Dong Yulan has wanted only Xia Dongyang from the very beginning.

Xia Dongyang suppresses her feelings and keeps them in check, content to stay by the other's side and protect her happiness.

Watch the gentle goddess pretend, act, and turn on the charm step by step until she successfully reels in this clueless bodyguard. (Xia Dongyang: I took the bait willingly.)

Back in school

Growing up in a blended family, Xia Dongyang is a notorious delinquent girl and a terrible student. She's cool and aloof, sometimes wild, arrogant, and rebellious.

Dong Yulan, loved by everyone, is the model student: top of the grade, obedient and sensible, and everyone's idea of the perfect child.

But behind the scenes, these two people who seem to have nothing in common are close.

When they meet again

Dong Yulan is now a rising star, still gentle and pure, and utterly fresh and charming on screen.

Xia Dongyang is cool, handsome, tall, and graceful, adored by young women.

The sweet goddess Dong Yulan, who loves to act, plots to hire her old acquaintance Xia Dongyang as her bodyguard.

Assistant Xiao Liu, watching from the side:

Why has all my work been stolen from me!? Awww, I've fallen out of favor.

Ahhh, they're so gorgeous together! Hold hands already! Hug! Kiss her, I'm begging you!!!

I've even brought the marriage registration office to you!!!

As the two spend time together, Dong Yulan, who had long since forgotten Xia Dongyang and once told her to stay away, corners her in the dressing room, pressing her against the wall. Her eyes shimmer and her red lips draw close, almost but not quite kissing her. She coaxes her softly, sounding aggrieved: "Didn't you say we were each other's most important friends?"

Later, during the height of Dong Yulan's career, the trending topics are all about her love life. No longer pretending, she boldly starts a livestream and tells everyone, "Let me be honest with you all. This is my wife, Xia Dongyang."

Assistant Xiao Liu: Bet you didn't expect this. I'm on the front lines of this ship, and my ship sailed to a happy ending.

1. School life in the early part, showbiz in the later part.

2. Don't miss out! It's a great read, and I won't abandon it!!!

3. This overworked office drone is running out of energy. For now, updates are planned three times a day. I'll let you know in advance if I miss one~

*Coming soon: Reborn, the Cool and Aloof Actress Keeps Wanting to Cuddle Up to Me

The cool, haughty, highly accomplished actress × the career-driven actress with a warm face and a cold heart, chasing her dreams in showbiz

Lin Ruijiao is reborn, returning to the night she signed a contract with her agency.

Nearby is Ye Ruihuan, her benefactor from her previous life, who saw her only as a stand-in for his unattainable first love. Before her is the contract, already signed.

For the sake of her career, she has no choice but to act obedient.

In this new life, she quickly rises to fame with the benefit of her experience and becomes a hot young star.

But she gradually realizes that she isn't the only one who has changed.

During a shoot, Ye Ruihuan makes a surprise visit to the set, stays late to discuss the script with her, and even personally coaches her.

On a dating show, Ye Ruihuan persuades the production team to replace the male guest and goes on a date with her on an island.

On a wilderness survival show, she is "forced" to team up with Ye Ruihuan for a task. Beneath the bright moon, the woman's kiss lands on the corner of her lips, cool to the touch...

Ye Ruihuan is an award-winning actress, cool and proud by nature. But after meeting Lin Ruijiao, she dreams of being tender and intimate with her night after night, blushing and breathless.

Ye Ruihuan knows that Lin Ruijiao resembles that person in some ways, but she is still not her.

Ye Ruihuan knows Lin Ruijiao is only putting on an act in front of her, but she likes this picture of her pretending to be meek and yielding.

Like a harmless little rabbit seeking refuge on a dangerous grassland, gentle and sweet, yet tough and clever.

It isn't until a night of passionate intimacy in a dream, with desire all around them and her heart beating uncontrollably, that she realizes she may truly have fallen for her.

Everyone knows that Lin Ruijiao is a superb and dedicated actress. After becoming an overnight sensation, she quickly rises to rival actress Ye Ruihuan.

But they work for the same company, and rumors have long circulated online that executives at Huarui Entertainment have fallen out. People say they're promoting Lin Ruijiao to replace Actress Ye. Fans of the two actresses argue constantly, treating each other as sworn enemies.

Who could have guessed that during one of Lin Ruijiao's livestreams, her rumored rival, Actress Ye, would suddenly appear and plant an affectionate kiss beside her lips. "Wifey, give me a kiss."

Netizens: ???!!!

A little scene:

One day, Ye Ruihuan finally can't hold back and confesses outright.

Lin Ruijiao: Sorry, I'm not interested in sex or romance. I can't date.

Later, as she watches a certain someone cling to her in the heat of the moment, Ye Ruihuan asks, "What happened to not being interested in sex or romance?!"

You don't have to date, but you absolutely have to get married!

Actress Ye is cool and proud at first, then becomes love-struck and full of inner monologue.

Happy ending / Both leads are each other's only partner / Six-year age gap

Theme: Embrace the beauty in everyday life and grow without restraint
