The Couple on Set

As two actresses who had never quite made it big, Jiang Shiwan and Xu Chiyi shot a girl-love drama together and saw their popularity soar. Now they're working together again.

But working on their second drama didn't go smoothly. The urban drama had so many kissing scenes, and the director's demands for beautiful cinematography and sincere emotion were so strict that they had to do take after take.

At last, the director broke down. "Please, just date each other! Seriously, fall in love, and you'll be able to act like a couple."

After days of being tortured by retakes, Jiang Shiwan couldn't take it anymore. She found Xu Chiyi and said, "Well... how about we pretend to be a couple while we're filming?"

Xu Chiyi, surprised but agreeable: "Okay."

A couple for the duration of filming: doing everything couples do, acting like a real couple, then going their separate ways once filming wraps.

So at last, the two leads didn't have to limit themselves to brief, beautiful kisses in front of everyone. Behind closed doors, they could take things further and be as uninhibited as they wanted.

Once filming wrapped, they did indeed go their separate ways. But later... one of them wasn't content with being a couple only on set.

A short story. If you notice that the protagonists' names here match the names of supporting characters in one of my older stories, that's because this author is terrible at coming up with names and didn't want to waste the ones I worked so hard to pick...
