Jiang Si debuted at a young age and reached the top immediately. At eighteen, he won the Best Actor award, making him an unprecedented legend in the entertainment industry.
Caught up in a scandal and under pressure from his family to get married, the award-winning actor Jiang had no choice but to fake a relationship with rising star Wen Ran.
Wen Ran was a third-tier actor who had spent three years in the industry without making much of an impression.
Jiang's fans when the fake relationship first went public:
Son, if you're being forced into this, blink twice.
The fans later:
Son, I believe you really were just pretending at first. Who knew you'd come out halfway through?
Jiang Si at the start of their fake relationship: "We're just pretending to date for work, and to keep our families happy."
The young actor Wen Ran nodded obediently. "All right."
As his fake partner, Wen Ran was very professional. Their interactions on Weibo, interviews, variety show appearances, and more won them countless shippers.
As a friend, Wen Ran was just as thoughtful. He fed the actor's cat, brought him meals, and looked after him when he was sick.
From Actor Jiang's point of view:
He fed my cat. He must like me.
He's so busy, yet he brought me food. He must have a crush on me.
He cared about me so much when I was sick. I'm so touched.
Gradually, Wen Ran realized the way the actor looked at him was getting stranger and stranger, growing more and more intense...
Wen Ran: ...
One day, Wen Ran woke up in the actor's arms and froze.
Was this really still just for show?
Bonus scene:
After going from a fake couple to a real one, they appeared on a relationship-themed variety show. The director asked the guests to talk about gifts their partners had given them.
When it was Actor Jiang's turn, he elegantly placed his hand on the table. The 18-karat gold brick ring on his finger nearly blinded everyone. He casually remarked, "Oh, I told him to just pick up anything, but he went and had a ring specially made for me. When it comes to love, as long as two people truly love each other, that's all that matters."
The guests, force-fed a mountain of couple sweetness: "..."
Comments flew across the screen:
Jiang Si, that's enough!
Son, your grin is harder to suppress than an AK!
