Blurb:

The two biggest brats in show business have such awful tempers that they're constantly trending together. They should be the perfect pair, with looks worthy of a world-class celebrity couple, but forget their fans: even dogs wouldn't ship them :)

Quan Aizhu wears the crown of a rich heiress, refuses to ride anything but a Sun God supercar, and eats nothing but Breton lobster. She embodies the spoiled belief that there's no room in this world for anyone but her.

A top star hires a helicopter to shower her with roses, then professes his love outside her manor:

"I know you're willful, playful, and childish, but I love you. You can spend your whole life walking all over me!"

The crowd applauds thunderously, cheering for them to get together.

Under the blazing sun, Quan Aizhu rides a nine-figure Akhal-Teke straight over his head. "Can't be bothered! It's beneath me!"

Zhou Chuang, an orphan who clawed his way out of hell to the top of the pyramid, is the wildly popular lead singer of Savior, known for his world-weary look. He writes songs, acts, appears on variety shows, holds concerts, and works himself to the bone all year round. He also has two outstanding qualities:

He's insanely stingy. Nobody can squeeze so much as an extra cent out of him!

And he hates the rich. At the top of his blacklist is his boss's little princess!

When his colleagues fantasize about marrying the heiress and hitting the jackpot, he sneers, "That pampered little waste of space can't do anything but spend money and cause trouble, and you still have a thing for her?!"

These sworn enemies are suddenly told one day that they have to shoot a music video, including a kiss.

Quan Aizhu stamps her foot. "I haven't even paid the balance on my private island! Damn it, my royal highness's first kiss is wasted on you, you mangy dog!"

Zhou Chuang glares right back:

"Fuck, if the coal boss weren't paying so much, you think I'd want to trade spit with a boring beginner like you?!"

The air reeks of gunpowder. It looks like they'll kill each other any second.

The director nervously checks the emergency medical equipment, the professional bouncers, and the security team on standby, then shakily calls, "Action!"

They immediately tumble into the snow, press their faces together, nuzzle each other's necks, and grab each other by the waist and butt.

They kiss until the world spins.

Zhou Chuang's deep-black, close-fitting sleeve appears in the shot. The veins on his arm bulge fiercely. He looks like a large beast that hasn't eaten since birth, ready to chew through his prey's flesh and bones.

Director: ? Didn't I say you could just fake the kiss?

Fourteen minutes later, the whole crew watches in disbelief: ? Do beginners not even need to come up for air?!

Both virgins, each other's first love

An innocent, wicked mixed-race heiress vs. a keyboardist who's self-conscious and sensitive around her but cocky and sharp-tongued with everyone else, a guard-dog type with a fierce attack and weak defenses

Theme: I want both my dreams and you
