A Heart on Fire

Cheng Mei: Do you believe in love at first sight?

Xia Zhen: I believe in being attracted to someone’s looks.

One winter evening, Xia Zhen nearly poked her own eyes out when she fell in love at first sight with a soldier named He Ran... Ahem, when she was attracted to his looks.

He wasn’t easy to win over.

For instance, the first time she lied that she’d left her phone behind and got him to cover a little over ten yuan for her, her phone started ringing as soon as she walked out the door.

And then there was the first time she was formally introduced to him. He looked at her and smiled politely, though beautifully. "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law."

Then, the first time she confessed, Xia Zhen went on and on about how her job was flexible and easy, and how they were a match made in heaven. The next second, her waterlogged phone started acting up, and her editor’s voice came through in fits and starts: "You’ve... missed... seven... days... Are you trying... to summon... the dragon? Don’t... sleep... tonight!"

Xia Zhen was exhausted, but she loved him so much.

Blurb:

When Tang Yan saw Ning Hen again, she didn’t dare rush up and say she knew him. There was a good reason: he was now a top-tier star, popular for both his acting and singing.

If she went up to him now and started reminiscing about the past, even she wouldn’t believe that she wasn’t trying to ride his coattails. Besides, celebrities were especially wary of old acquaintances, even though he didn’t have any scandals to worry about... And even if he didn’t mind any of that, they’d first met when they were six or seven. What if he didn’t even remember her? Wouldn’t that just be awkward?

She was doing a fine job of avoiding him, but when she looked up, the top star was standing right in front of her. Without a hint of hesitation, he smiled in front of everyone. "When did you change your name?"

Later, the college entrance exam became a hot topic online and set the trending lists ablaze. Videos of celebrities behaving "stupidly" on variety shows in the past were made, and netizens gleefully dragged them all over again every day.

A variety show called Taking on the College Entrance Exam emerged in response to all that attention, and netizens went wild.

Then they discovered that Ning Shen, who could act and sing, could also solve exam questions?

[Sob, my husband is the best!]

[Help, which window did God close on him?]

[A top student whose brilliance was overshadowed by acting!]

[Reporting for duty: one of the clumps of clay Nuwa casually flicked away while sculpting Ning Shen...]

As they watched, netizens realized something was off about their Ning Shen.

Wait, why does he always ask that screenwriter for help from offstage?
