Chen Yingying discovered that her boyfriend of almost ten years had been kissed by his stepsister, who wasn't related to him by blood.

She wanted to keep their relationship going, but things between them had changed. In the end, they went their separate ways.

Chen Yingying was a model with a great figure and a beautiful face, and she attracted plenty of admirers. Rumor had it that she had a mysterious backer, so no one dared openly give her a hard time.

Zhou Yang was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had plenty of admirers of his own. His mother also often pressured him to go on blind dates.

At a party, Chen Yingying ran into Zhou Yang. Everyone mistakenly assumed he was the powerful man backing her.

Because of this misunderstanding, Zhou Yang's business rival deliberately made things difficult for Chen Yingying, nearly ending her modeling career.

Chen Yingying looked at Zhou Yang and came up with a plan. "Do you hate blind dates?"

Zhou Yang: "Yeah."

Chen Yingying: "I've got an idea. Want to hear it?"

Zhou Yang: "Go ahead."

"You hate blind dates, and I'm not looking for a relationship right now. How about you pretend to be my boyfriend for a while, and we can solve each other's problems?" Chen Yingying said, half seriously and half in jest.

Zhou Yang's brow twitched. He never expected to hear those words from her. He had been secretly in love with her for ten whole years, hoping every moment of those ten years that she would break up. His Adam's apple bobbed as he said hoarsely, "Then should we draw up an agreement?"

Zhou Yang raised his lashes slightly, his gaze alluring, as he looked at her with an expression that was both serious and teasing.

Reader's guide: The second male lead takes the lead. He is secretly in love with her, and the heroine is the male lead's first love.

----Upcoming novel, His Eyes Are So Alluring. Please add it to your reading list!!!

Xu Zhiyi ran into Li Xuan in an elevator. He was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and she thought he was a sasaeng fan. She nearly pulled out her anti-wolf spray.

When she found out he was the new neighbor next door, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help giving a little cheer in her heart. He was her first love!

Later, Xu Zhiyi joined a dating reality show and was paired with Li Xuan.

Xu Zhiyi was over the moon, wondering what kind of amazing luck she'd had this year!

But fans online were shocked. Given Li Xuan's status in the entertainment industry, why would he appear on this show?!

And why would he be paired up with this D-list celebrity for publicity?!

Apart from her looks, what did she have that could possibly make her good enough for their oppa?!

No!!! We absolutely refuse to let this show air!

Then, later, on camera, Li Xuan turned to look at Xu Zhiyi. "What if I told you I like girls like you? Would you think it's just for the show?"

Boohoohoo, my oppa's eyes are so alluring!!! Could he really have fallen for her??!

They're such a good couple! So sweet, so sweet!!! Boohoohoo!!! Show, give us more behind-the-scenes footage. We can't get enough!

The fans who had previously said they would quit the fandom did leave, but they became fans of the couple instead.

Later, on an interview show, the host asked Li Xuan what he regretted from his youth.

Li Xuan: "I liked a girl when I was young, but I never confessed to her."

And then, at long last, the girl Li Xuan had liked in his youth was revealed. That D-list celebrity was the very girl their oppa had fallen for!

Couple fans: This pairing is the real deal!
