[A play-the-pig-to-eat-the-tiger, drama-loving actress x a calm, reserved, secretly passionate business tycoon]
After an accident, Ning Qixue woke up a changed person, much to the distress of her family.
But no one knew that the Ning Qixue of today was actually Su Yue, reborn after death.
In her previous life, Su Yue was treated by Gu Huai as a stand-in for his beloved Qin Yufei for six whole years, and ultimately died with a heart full of hatred.
Reborn in a new life, she became Ning Qixue, the fiancee of Gu Yansheng, Gu Huai's future sister-in-law.
Using Ning Qixue's identity, she became one of the hottest actresses in the entertainment industry in just a year.
Ning Qixue's three rules for making it in showbiz: Take Qin Yufei's leading roles, take Gu Huai's commercial endorsements, and refuse any script that isn't a feel-good story!
Gu Yansheng finds her feel-good scripts, and Gu Huai sends her top-tier commercial endorsements.
The opportunities Qin Yufei thinks are hers keep slipping away. It's like swallowing bitter herbs: she has no way to express her grievances.
As the saying goes, fame brings trouble. Ning Qixue's sudden rise has made plenty of rivals jealous.
So rumors about her are everywhere, especially the endless gossip linking her to her brother-in-law, Gu Huai.
Ning Qixue's response: Please believe the rumors and spread the gossip. The truth is, Director Gu and I really are very close.
Everyone says Ning Qixue has no shame. She doesn't care about the flood of abuse directed at her online.
Just when everyone thinks Ning Qixue is determined to marry Gu Huai, news breaks that she is about to get engaged to the eldest Gu son.
What surprises them even more is that the movie star Gu Huai crashes the wedding to stop it. The wealthy family's feud over one woman between two brothers has officially begun.
Bonus Scene
"Miss Ning, when are you going to give me a title? You and Gu Huai are always exchanging glances, and it makes me very unhappy." The man's possessive eyes roamed over her face.
Ning Qixue squeezed his hand in return, smiling brightly. "What's wrong, Eldest Master Gu? Are you jealous? I was young and foolish before, and fell for the wrong person. Besides, I only like you now. He and I are just acting, acting, understand?"
Gu Yansheng gave a cold laugh. The television suddenly came on, and a square-faced host spoke with crisp diction: "According to an insider, the popular movie star Gu Huai had a six-year relationship with the late actress Miss Su Yue. Unable to bear being alone, Director Gu cheated on her, and the two broke up. This was also one of the reasons Miss Su Yue fell into the sea and died."
Just then, Ning Qixue leaned toward him and whispered in his ear, "Eldest Master Gu, it's time to give you a title. Happy?"
