Secretly Dating My Mortal-Enemy Actress

In college, Lian Siyun was the finance department's belle, a genius with an exceptionally high IQ who always ranked first in her major courses. She came from an illustrious family, was breathtakingly beautiful, and seemed untouchable. Yet her beauty was the least remarkable of her many charms.

In college, Bai Zhiyan was also a department belle, but her reputation was the polar opposite of Lian Siyun's. The most-liked comment on A University's forum read: “Bai Zhiyan may be beautiful, but she's an empty-headed vase, shallow and vulgar.”

Bai Zhiyan thought the assessment was fair. She really was shallow and vulgar.

She loved money. As long as she could earn it, she would do anything within her limits.

One day, Bai Zhiyan got a part-time job.

Under the bar's dim lights, a love triangle drew everyone's attention. Following instructions, she stood beside her employer and wept pitifully, sabotaging the romance between the two women and delivering a spectacularly melodramatic performance.

From a sofa booth not far away, a seated woman watched her silently through the haze of smoke.

Bai Zhiyan had attended a general-education class with Lian Siyun and had even been assigned to the same group as her. Now she was so mortified her toes curled, and she felt like crying: “I'm so screwed!”

She frantically prayed that Lian Siyun wouldn't remember her, but her worst fears came true. The next day, Lian Siyun cornered her in the women's restroom.

“Break up with her. How about being my girlfriend?”

“What? Dating a woman? I've never done that before.”

Bai Zhiyan played dumb, convinced that Lian Siyun was deliberately humiliating her.

Lian Siyun watched her in silence. “Ten thousand a month...”

Smiling, Bai Zhiyan took Lian Siyun's hand and bent to kiss it. “My dear girlfriend, what would you like me to do for you? Your humble servant can do anything.”

Bai Zhiyan thought: Ha, what could one woman possibly do to me?

Lian Siyun smiled: There's plenty one woman can do to another.

That ridiculous college romance didn't last long. Their relationship, held together by money, quickly ended when Lian Siyun went abroad. But after “dating” Lian Siyun, Bai Zhiyan felt that even her sexual orientation had changed.

Still, she was determined to believe she was straight. She just hadn't met a man who made her heart flutter yet.

Years later, Bai Zhiyan entered the entertainment industry, where a male actor she worked with pursued her. He was handsome and refined, and the beauty mark beneath his eye looked quite appealing. So she agreed to date him.

(P.S. The female lead only drunkenly accepted the male supporting character's confession on her phone out of spite. She didn't genuinely want to date him.)

What infuriated her was that the scumbag actor started cheating on her almost as soon as they began dating, and the person he cheated with was Lian Siyun.

Damn it, was she never going to get away from Lian Siyun in this life?

And when did Lian Siyun turn straight? Wasn't she supposed to be a damn lesbian?

The more Bai Zhiyan thought about it, the angrier she got. She went to politely confront the scumbag actor.

But when she arrived, she saw him with a bruised and swollen face, rubbing his hands together as he begged Lian Siyun. “Auntie, I did everything you told me to! Please let me go! I'm begging you, I swear I didn't even touch a single hair on her head!”

Bai Zhiyan: “???”

Lian Siyun glanced over. Her smile was gentle, with madness lurking beneath it. As she smiled, the beauty mark beneath her eye seemed to shimmer, utterly bewitching.

“Sweetheart, now that you've seen everything, why aren't you running?”

Bai Zhiyan looked down at her body, held firmly in place, and felt helpless, weak, and pitiful: I would if I could...

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that three-time Golden Awards Best Actress Lian Siyun and rising star Bai Zhiyan were bitter rivals who never appeared in the same frame.

Until one variety show dared to invite both of them.

Later, unreleased footage from the show was leaked.

They acted like rivals, refusing to look at each other all day. But beneath the table, where no one could see, the tip of Lian Siyun's high heel was slowly tracing its way up Bai Zhiyan's calf...
