[Selfish jerk who goes berserk whenever things don’t go his way x sharp-tongued, clingy menace]
“Young Master, that vase you hate so much has quit the production. The ‘one cutting remark a day’ script you asked me to prepare won’t be needed.”
“Good, she knows when to quit... But did she really leave that easily?”
“That’s exactly what I was about to tell you. She’s back, this time as the only screenwriter on the show.”
“?”
“She’s the screenwriter you admire most. Also, she added several scenes where you get beaten to a pulp on the ground.”
“...”
“Should I prepare a set of ‘one little move a day for post-injury rehab’ for you, too?”
“…”

Chu Jin is a C-list actress in showbiz: a resource-backed gossip magnet with a nasty tongue.
When everyone else in the industry was cultivating a sweet and innocent image, she went her own way and pioneered the unhinged persona: if something annoys her, she goes berserk whenever and wherever she pleases.
Host: “Could you share the secret to staying popular for so long?”
Chu Jin, expressionless: “Oh, because I’ll do whatever it takes to get famous.”
Netizens: “Chu Jin’s so rude. She’s such a diva!”
Chu Jin: “Thanks for asking. I’ve always been rude, and I’ve never missed. But today I just feel like insulting someone, so I’ll let you off for now.”
Lu Fang is a top-tier star and award-winning actor, a rich second-generation heir, sharp-tongued, arrogant, and self-obsessed.
The phrase “be gentle with women” doesn’t exist in his dictionary. Countless actors he’s worked with have been reduced to tears by his insults. Sweet, timid men and women flee at the mere mention of him.
When word got out that the two would be working together on a show, netizens rubbed their hands together, eager to watch Chu Jin get insulted into tears.
At their first meeting:
Lu Fang: “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
Chu Jin: “Why would I be afraid of you?”
Lu Fang: “What makes you think you don’t have to be afraid of me?!”
Chu Jin: “Because I’ve had my rabies shots.”
Lu Fang: “…”
Later, rumors spread that the two had fallen for each other while filming. That very day, both of them responded on Weibo.
Chu Jin: “Thanks for asking. I’m not blind yet.”
Lu Fang: “This is hilarious. There’s no way I’d ever like her. Chu Jin? She’s pretty average. What a joke. Plenty of people like me...” (Two hundred words omitted.)
That night, Lu Fang lay awake with his eyes open until dawn.
Finally unable to hold back, he rolled over in the middle of the night and wrapped his arms around the person beside him. “Can’t you at least give me a title?”
Chu Jin kicked him away. “I knew you were the one who started that rumor!”
