[Mutual Secret Crush] [Livestreaming Dating Show] [Sweet Showbiz Romance] [Same-Sex Marriage Is Legal]
Qiao Tingwan, a member of a hugely popular girl group, rose to the top as soon as she debuted.
She had always worked diligently to maintain her perfect image. Then suddenly, she was dropped into a hit dating show streamed live to the entire nation, where she was told to fake a couple with Song Jiayuan, the most popular artist at her agency.
Song Jiayuan had won Best Actress three years in a row, earning the media's praise as the industry's "uncrowned queen."
She was also the older girl next door whom Qiao Tingwan had secretly loved for ten years.

The production team, tipped off in advance by the agency, arranged for the two of them to share a room on the show's first night.
Nervous to be sharing a bed with her crush, Qiao Tingwan's palms grew sweaty. She quietly inched closer to Song Jiayuan, trying to get just a little nearer.
Suddenly, a pair of soft, delicate hands wrapped around her waist and drew her into an embrace. Pressed against that warm chest, Qiao Tingwan clearly heard her say:
"It's been three years. Don't you recognize me anymore, Wanwan?"
Qiao Tingwan's wildly beating heart stopped for a second.

Song Jiayuan had a secret no one knew.
She had liked the girl next door for a long time. Ever since they were children, she'd wanted to lure her home.
As luck would have it, the dating show's producer invited her to join the show. After negotiating with her agency, she finally got her wish and was able to appear on a program with Qiao Tingwan.
She knew she had become just like countless other fans, utterly captivated by that superstar admired by everyone.
