*Five years ago, Wen An and Fu Lingyuan came from different worlds.
Fu Lingyuan was untouchable, admired by countless people.
She was insecure and sensitive, always walking on eggshells around him. She couldn't even look at him for too long, let alone confess that she liked him.
Then she saw the top trending post on Weibo: #Fu Lingyuan spotted checking into a hotel with a mysterious girlfriend, spending three days and two nights together#
The fingertips tucked into Wen An's sleeves trembled. She was terrified that someone else would snatch Fu Lingyuan away first, and nervously, hopefully, she held out the love letter she'd carefully prepared
But Fu Lingyuan regarded it like a flea and tossed the pale pink letter into the trash with disgust, giving her no chance at all. He lifted his cold, contemptuous eyes and said:
"Absurd."
"Don't ever show your face in front of me again."
*Years later, they met again at a film production's opening ceremony. The promising young director Wen An had finished her studies and returned to China to pursue her career. When she saw Fu Lingyuan, the youthful flutter she'd once felt was long gone, leaving only calm indifference.
On the cramped, confined set, Fu Lingyuan's white shirt collar was undone, with a fake lipstick mark lingering on his long neck. The scene called for an intimate moment between the leading man and woman.
Director Wen watched the footage frame by frame without changing her expression, all business.
"Cut. Mr. Fu, could you get back into character and do it again?"
The handsome features on camera suddenly moved closer. Wen An leaned back, but he caught her slender wrist. Fu Lingyuan's gaze was sharp, his voice deep and magnetic as he leaned against her fragrant shoulder and spoke:
"Director Wen, you know when I'm at my best."

A secret love may mean that I hope you are partial to me, but it just isn't the case.
