Blurb:

Shen Shuangjing transmigrated into a book.

Tea-scented steam curled through the air. Across from her sat a woman with mature, captivating charm, skin white as snow, and a delicate purple balloon-flower tattoo circling her slender wrist. The tattoo was alluring and eye-catching, impossible to look away from.

The woman lifted her lips slightly. Her pair of flirtatious fox eyes narrowed, their gaze languid and bright. She said nonchalantly, "One million. Marry me."

Memories flooded back. The woman was the villainous award-winning actress in a power-fantasy novel, who had found a disposable stand-in to marry her under a one-year agreement.

The stand-in thought far too highly of herself, and was both foolish and malicious. After the villainous actress's one true love returned from abroad, she refused to divorce her and instead clung to her relentlessly, setting up her beloved again and again.

In the end, the villainous actress threw her into the Arctic Ocean to feed the sharks.

Shen the money-grubber Shuangjing, future shark food: ...

She got their marriage certificate on the spot. Even a second's delay would have been disrespectful to money.

-

Born into a wealthy family, Sang Baili was the youngest-ever Golden Elephant Award-winning actress. She had a beautiful, passionate face and seemed carefree and alluring, but was in fact aloof and indifferent. Countless men and women who tried to pursue her had hit a wall.

After moving in with her, Shen Shuangjing always kept her original self's tragic ending in mind. Even in the face of a stunning beauty, her heart remained calm and desire-free. She never made the first move. But why was the supposedly hands-off villainous actress looking at her more and more strangely?

Not only that, she would feel her abs, feed her cake with the same fork, and hide in her arms, breathing against her as she said she was afraid to sleep alone at night.

Shen Shuangjing blushed every day from all the flirting. Finally, during a scene rehearsal, the actress's lovely arched brows and red lips were about to film a kissing scene. Unable to take it anymore, Shen Shuangjing blurted out, "That costs extra!"

Sang Baili's eyes shimmered. Knowing just how much the young woman loved money, she shook her phone to show the transfer, a warm, intoxicating smile on her lips. "Jingjing, is that enough?"

Shen Shuangjing, blushing and flustered: "I can be an innocent girl, a scheming seductress, a spoiled little troublemaker, or a mischievous minx. Which kind do you want, big sister?"

Adults don't have to choose.

Sang Baili finally got to kiss the little red mole on the tip of her pert nose.

By the time her one true love returned from abroad, the marriage agreement was about to expire. Shen Shuangjing packed her things and prepared to leave in the middle of the night, but Sang Baili hurried over and stopped her.

The usually composed woman panicked. Her eyes, red as if touched with rouge, glistened with tears as she gripped Shen Shuangjing's wrist and begged hoarsely, word by word, "Jingjing, there's no one else. There's only you. Let's void the agreement and get married for real, okay?"

Shen Shuangjing: Weren't you supposed to be hopelessly in love with your one true love?

-

After making her screen debut, Shen Shuangjing's superb acting quickly made her one of the new generation's most popular actresses, renowned for both her looks and talent. She was also hailed as the ultimate heartthrob among women, and fans shipped her with actresses all over the entertainment industry.

When a host asked which couple she was rooting for most, Shen Shuangjing only smiled without answering.

The next day, a variety show camera caught a suggestive red mark on her slender neck.

The whole set was astonished.

Shen Shuangjing smiled. "The one at home got jealous."

The award-winning actress, who hadn't posted in ages, logged into Weibo and shared a photo. A pair of twin blue whales had been tattooed across her smooth, fair back.

Delicately rendered, achingly tender.

The caption read: "I love her."

Notes

* Told from the pursuer's perspective. An entertainment-industry story, one-on-one, both physically and emotionally faithful. This is a fictional setting, not based on real people. Please don't make comparisons.

* An optimistic, money-loving ray of sunshine with a tragic past VS a seemingly work-obsessed but actually doting, mature actress.

* This is not a traditional one-true-love story. There is no one true love; the pursuer is simply mistaken. No angst or melodrama in the romance, just a carefully crafted sweet treat.

* Readers who are extremely protective of the main characters may want to steer clear. No need to tell me if you drop the story.

Yu Zhiyou awakened.

The world she lived in was a fusion of countless erotic novels from the Flower Market, and she was a background extra who just happened to pass by the protagonists everywhere they went.

When Protagonist A pinned Protagonist B against the wall and kissed her passionately, Yu Zhiyou's path was blocked. With nowhere to go, she had to stand there and watch them kiss for a whole minute.

When Protagonists C and D were going at it in a bathroom stall, a server spilled a drink on Yu Zhiyou. As she washed up, she was forced to listen to five minutes of obscene talk.

When Protagonist E held Protagonist F close and kissed away her tears, Yu Zhiyou...

Yu Zhiyou landed an audition with a renowned director and planned to go to R Country, where none of the protagonists lived, to focus on acting and stay far away from all the censorship mosaics.

-

On the first day of filming, Yu Zhiyou met He Qingman, who played the female lead.

He Qingman was a wealthy omega and a famous award-winning actress. With willow-leaf brows, petal-red lips, and a pale green qipao, she was dazzling and elegant, like a water lily in a pond: lovely to admire from afar, but not to be touched.

Yu Zhiyou: "Hello, senior."

He Qingman melted bonelessly into her arms. "There's no one else here. Why don't you call me your wife, Youyou?"

Yu Zhiyou: "Huh?"

Her agent explained, "Actress He has amnesia. She thinks you two have been secretly dating for a year."

Yu Zhiyou: No, they hadn't. They were just two people who had accidentally spent one night together.

To help Actress He recover her memories as soon as possible, Yu Zhiyou signed an agreement and temporarily went along with He Qingman's treatment.

On set during the day, they were distant seniors and juniors, exchanging no more than five words a day.

In private, He Qingman dropped her aloof, untouchable image. Either she pressed her lips against Yu Zhiyou's, demanding a kiss, or she opened her collar to reveal her delicate gland and asked to be marked.

Yu Zhiyou succumbed to her tempting pheromones: So I'm Protagonist G in the Flower Market novels!

-

Just as He Qingman recovered her memories, Yu Zhiyou had done her part and withdrew, returning to their senior-junior relationship and keeping her distance.

On set, Yu Zhiyou called her "Senior He" at every turn, always humble, respectful, and polite. She didn't notice He Qingman's gaze growing more and more intense.

That night, He Qingman appeared in Yu Zhiyou's room wearing blue lace pajamas.

Yu Zhiyou was baffled. "Did you come to go over tomorrow's scenes, Senior?"

He Qingman: "Not the scenes. I came to discuss the damages and compensation for what I did to you while I had amnesia."

Yu Zhiyou tried to remember. "That carton of yogurt you drank, or the face masks you used up?"

He Qingman rose on tiptoe, her red lips brushing Yu Zhiyou's cheek. Her warm, fragrant breath was utterly captivating. "I mean, you had a wife then, but now you don't. I can make it up to you by becoming your wife."

Theme: Even the loneliest person can find companionship and gain something in return, as long as they keep treating others with sincerity.
