Older fox spirit Song Yanxi and younger, innocent little bunny Lin Qing
Lin Qing had only just returned to Yingjiang and started working at a TV station when her supervisor, Li Fei, assigned her to take the new hire, Meng Chuan, to interview the hugely popular actress Song Yanxi.
But even veteran reporters have their mishaps.
Lin Qing had just managed to get out of the crowd. Before she could enjoy her relief for even a few seconds, the crowd pushed her to the ground.
Just as Lin Qing was about to get up, she looked up and saw Song Yanxi standing in front of her. When had she come over? She bent down and reached out to help Lin Qing up. “As long as you're okay. Be more careful next time.”
Lin Qing hurriedly got to her feet on her own and thanked her politely but distantly. “I can get up by myself. Thank you for the offer, Miss Song.”
Fortunately, the interview went smoothly in the end.
Only after returning to the TV station did she learn that a reporter had captured that moment and posted it online. It had even become a trending topic, sparking heated discussion among netizens.
Most of them were shipping her with Song Yanxi, though there were plenty of negative comments too.
It brought a lot of trouble into Lin Qing's life. She had returned to Yingjiang hoping to live quietly on her own, but now she had become the center of attention.
Lin Qing thought Song Yanxi would clarify things before long, but the buzz kept growing, and Song Yanxi never issued a statement.
Worse, because of the incident, Liu Shumeng found out that Lin Qing had returned to Yingjiang without telling her.
She called to demand an explanation and insisted Lin Qing come home.
Lin Qing remembered that she had to face her stepfather, and all the fear from the past came rushing back.
What she never expected was to find out she also had a younger brother more than 20 years her junior. After she had dealt with her family, Song Yanxi approached Lin Qing and suggested they pretend to be an on-screen couple for a year.
She promised it would only be for a year, just to capitalize on the publicity, and that Lin Qing would receive a generous fee when the year was up.
They would also end their fake relationship.
Out of spite and rebelliousness, Lin Qing agreed.
Song Yanxi believed that after spending a long time together, Lin Qing would eventually develop feelings for her.
And during that time, Lin Qing really did begin to feel something different for her.
