I Got Addicted to Pretending It Was Real [Entertainment Industry]

Zhou Shili had liked Qin Yang for years, but he drifted through a crowd of lovers, leaving none untouched, and never liked her in return.

Yet as her boss, Qin Yang always took exceptional care of Zhou Shili, giving her the very best resources. Her debut role was in an S+ production, playing the female lead's friend. Excellent scripts were never in short supply, and his efforts to suppress rumors and promote her were both swift and effective.

He was so thoughtful and thorough that Zhou Shili couldn't stop herself from falling for him.

Until he asked her to pair up with Chen Qi, a popular singer from the same company, and staged a scene for the paparazzi, arranging for the two of them to enter and leave a hotel together.

At last, Zhou Shili's heart went cold toward him. She decided she wanted to live as carelessly as Qin Yang did.

In the middle of the night, on a whim, she knocked on Chen Qi's door. Looking at his restrained yet flustered expression, she asked, "Want to make our fake relationship real?"

For all these years, Chen Qi had been like Zhou Shili's shadow. Wherever she went, he followed.

He joined the entertainment industry so he wouldn't lose track of her. He fought to get onto the same variety show so he could talk to her more. He even helped her create opportunities because she liked Qin Yang.

When Zhou Shili knocked on his door, he finally became a shadow that could step into the light.

But he approached her more and more cautiously with every step, hiding his feelings carefully.

Because he knew Zhou Shili seemed to dislike serious relationships more and more.

Bonus scene:

At a company dinner, a group of longtime coworkers drank their fill, and the conversation grew increasingly daring.

Someone said Zhou Shili was so aloof and innocent that she probably hadn't watched porn, despite being in her twenties.

Chen Qi tightened his grip on his glass. Across from him, Zhou Shili said frankly, "How could I never have watched any? I just like watching stuff aimed at women."

Everyone was surprised. Only Chen Qi sat quietly beside her.

A few days later, a sasaeng fan found Chen Qi's phone at the airport. People discovered that his browser was full of viewing records for content aimed at women, and his notes app was packed with detailed analyses of male protagonists from that kind of content.

Everyone gaped in shock: So the aloof, unapproachable male singer is into this kind of thing in private?!
