An obscure, low-tier actress and a lazy, haughty, easygoing, scheming big shot
1. At a dazzling Michelin-starred restaurant, Qi Zhan meets the woman he's been set up to marry.
Ruan Shiran has a graceful, open expression and an elegant bearing. A warm, perfect eight-tooth smile stays on her lips.
As she rises to say goodbye, calm and bright as moonlight, Qi Zhan, who had looked down on the arranged marriage, suddenly has a change of heart.
"As long as we don't interfere in each other's lives after we marry, that's fine, right?"
2. Ruan Shiran is a newcomer to the entertainment industry. As soon as she debuts, she offends a popular actress who bought her way into the business and gets crushed until she's broke and desperate.
Without hesitation, she takes a job standing in for a wealthy young lady who is too hungover to attend her arranged marriage meeting.
It's all acting anyway. With this much makeup on, there's no way the other party will recognize her.
But one day, when Qi Zhan kisses Ruan Shiran until she can barely breathe, she regrets it.
Kissing scenes and stand-ins don't cost the same...
[Bonus scene]
At a Hengdian film set, a luxury car waits in the night to visit someone on set.
In the cramped back seat of a Bugatti, with fog misting the windows, Ruan Shiran's hands are pinned above her head. Electricity shoots up her back, making her tremble.
She takes a deep breath and decides to come clean.
"I'm a stand-in for the woman you're supposed to marry. I'm just acting... Mm..."
Qi Zhan ignores Ruan Shiran's tearful pleas and kisses her with no room for refusal.
Only after he's had his fill does he gasp and bite her collarbone.
"Miss Ruan, you like acting?"
"I'll act along with you to the very end..."
