[Showbiz | Love Triangle Chaos | Men Competing for Her]
Ye Lai is a washed-up actress who can only get supporting roles in low-budget web dramas and blend into the background on variety shows. But she gets a monthly allowance, can eat whatever she wants, and often gets to travel on the company dime. All in all, life is pretty sweet.
That is, until she gets bound to a romance System.
Reject romance: go bankrupt, have your bank balance wiped clean, lose her contract and become an ordinary person, or work as a street cleaner from dawn till dusk every day until she can retire at 65.
Accept romance: romance points can be exchanged for fame, beauty, and cash, and even for a chance to experience immersive story scenarios!
Ye Lai: Ahem, I really had no choice.
At first, she figured dating one guy would be enough. But the System was always nagging in her ear:
"Host! There's an S-rank man nearby. Get him, now!"
"You're in a long-distance relationship. The romance points you get from chatting on your phone aren't nearly enough. You don't want to go bankrupt tomorrow, do you? So let's find another guy!"
"He's obviously into you. Free romance points are free romance points. Go for it!"
And so, after all that, she became a woman dating three men at once.
Boyfriend No. 1 is a gifted award-winning actor, highly praised in the industry for both his talent and integrity, who won all kinds of awards before he was even thirty. He waits for three hours in the cold wind so he can go on a date with her as soon as she finishes filming.
Boyfriend No. 2 is a Hong Kong financial tycoon, a career-driven workaholic who's restrained and indifferent to romance. But after getting together with her, he turns into a lovesick fool, buying her all sorts of things and even sending her a private jet to make her filming schedule more convenient.
Boyfriend No. 3 is a cool, aloof writer who wears glasses. He has an eccentric streak and rarely appears in public. Even an internationally renowned film director has to contact him six months in advance to discuss a collaboration. Yet for her, he personally writes a historical romance drama script and even stays with the production the whole time.
Those three are the ones with official status. There are countless other flirtations besides them...
With the System's help, Ye Lai plays her men off against one another, her career takes off, and life remains as sweet as ever.
But if you keep walking by the river, sooner or later you'll get your shoes wet. At a certain banquet, all three of her boyfriends show up at once and meet after being introduced.
Actor / Sugar daddy / Writer: My girlfriend is the cutest, most considerate girl in the whole world.
Their phones ring. All three take them out, only to discover the same person on each of their lock screens. They also receive the same message at the same time.
Ye Lai: Darling, I have a night shoot tonight, so don't wait up for me. Love you, mwah (finger heart)
The three stare at one another.
"What a coincidence. Your girlfriend's name is Ye Lai too?"
