The eagerly awaited emotional autobiography by bestselling author "Zhaomu," Say You Love Me, is being adapted into a movie starring two women, and nationwide auditions have officially begun.

The two leads, a top award-winning actress known for serious dramas and a popular idol who returned from overseas and can both sing and dance, have backgrounds that couldn't be more different. They have practically nothing in common.

From her very first audition, Ji Xueyu felt that something was off about the young actress named Jiang Xuan. Very off.

What was with those smiling eyes that lit up whenever she saw Ji Xueyu? Ji could practically see Jiang Xuan's fox tail swishing back and forth, as if it would wag right off!

Was this woman here to act, or to follow her around?

Faced with Jiang Xuan's "long-planned" advances, Ji Xueyu instinctively bristled with icy spikes, keeping her at arm's length.

But the teacher known as the "Ice Queen" could never have imagined that one day the little fox she had once been so wary of would be pinned beneath her on the bed, and she would never be able to get enough of kissing her.

After they confirmed their feelings, she even forcefully made the little fox swear never to betray her.

Jiang Xuan, anyone can betray me. You are the one person who can't.

Otherwise, I'll drag you to hell with me.

The moment Jiang Xuan found out she would co-star with Ji Xueyu in the two-lead movie Say You Love Me, she was happier than if she'd won three hundred billion. Even when the nasty comments on the trending page nearly buried her alive, she just figured that everyone gains some things and loses others, and there was no point arguing with fools. She kept smiling, unbothered.

Until she saw one particularly vicious comment:

[So money really can buy anything. Jiang Xuan, how could you secretly become the dog of a vicious woman like Ji Xueyu? Have you got no self-respect? What a shameless loser!]

To Jiang Xuan, that comment was obviously just sour grapes!

The little fox was so furious she couldn't sleep. She practically rolled her eyes to the ceiling, logged into her alt account in the middle of the night, and pounded away at the keyboard, hitting back hard:

[Do you know her? Do you understand her? What gives you the right to call her vicious?!]

[So what if I want to be her dog? Do you know how many people out there are lining up to be Ji Xueyu's dog? This is a blessing Jiang Xuan could only dream of! You tasteless idiot!]

This is so annoying! What do these people know? They don't understand her sister at all!

That's right, her sister.

The beautiful older girl who had bought her ice cream fifteen years ago, whom Jiang Xuan had known since then.

The sister she had stumbled along after for fifteen years, just to finally have the chance to stand by her side.

The sister she would never betray, even if she had to go to hell.

Only, her sister didn't remember her.

One night, Ji Xueyu, burning with a high fever, knocked on Jiang Xuan's door.

"Teacher Ji? Why are you..."

"I feel awful."

"You have a fever? The hallway is cold. Go back to your room first. I'll call your assistant and the crew doctor and have them come take care of you."

Ji Xueyu grabbed Jiang Xuan by the wrist, her voice cold and stubborn. "Why can't you take care of me?"

Jiang Xuan fell silent for a second, then replied gently, "Because you don't want me to take care of you."

"I never said that."

"You've been keeping your distance from me these past few days."

"...I've changed my mind."

Before Jiang Xuan could react, Ji Xueyu pushed her way into the room, pulled back the covers, and climbed into bed. With complete assurance, she said, "I feel awful. Take care of me."

"..."

The staff around Ji Xueyu had been having a pretty rough time lately.

Ever since filming began on Say You Love Me, their icy boss had become a completely different person. One minute, she wanted to shove Jiang Xuan eight feet away; the next, she wanted to tie her to her own waistband. One minute, she was cold and looked down on everyone; the next, she was so obviously jealous it showed right on her face. Now her possessiveness had fully bloomed: she wanted Jiang Xuan to work, eat, and sleep with her, deliberately throwing tantrums so Jiang Xuan would coax her, and even started aggressively dealing with Jiang Xuan's admirers...

Was this really okay?!

Was this courtship or kidnapping?

When had their boss become like this? And what right did she have to do all this?

Most importantly, Jiang Xuan was only in her early twenties. Who didn't want to have fun at that age? If their boss kept controlling her like this, wouldn't Jiang Xuan get angry?

If Jiang Xuan left in a fit of anger, wouldn't their boss freeze them all into icicles?

If it really came to that, they were all done for!

For the sake of their careers and personal safety, the team discussed the matter all night and decided to split into two groups and tackle it from both sides.

The veteran manager who had worked with Ji Xueyu for years was nominated for the most difficult and dangerous task of all: pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth.

She steeled herself and went to Ji Xueyu, testing the waters cautiously. "...I heard from Teacher Jiang's assistant that Teacher Jiang has been especially busy lately, running between work commitments and the set. She hardly seems to have any time to rest."

"What did Jiang Xuan tell you?"

"Nothing, nothing! Teacher Jiang didn't tell me anything. You know what she's like. Our team is just worrying too much on its own, afraid she'll get too tired. Nobody's made of iron, after all. The team was wondering... do you think Teacher Jiang could go back and rest a little earlier now and then? She practically has no time to herself anymore. If this goes on, I'm afraid she'll..."

Ji Xueyu looked up at her. "She'll what?"

The manager froze. Of course she didn't dare say, "I'm afraid she'll run away." She swallowed and hurriedly changed course. "I'm afraid her health won't be able to take it."

Ji Xueyu was silent for a while, then nodded. "You're right. She really is too tired."

"?!"

Oh my God! She actually listened?!

The manager was ecstatic inside, hardly able to believe her ears. She thanked every deity she could think of, and was just about to seize this golden opportunity to tactfully ask for some personal time for Jiang Xuan when Ji Xueyu said:

"Have someone move Jiang Xuan's lounge into mine this afternoon. Her lounge is too far from mine. If she moves in, she won't have to run back and forth for rehearsals, which will save time. And when she's tired from work, I can make sure she rests. It's a win-win."

"???"

The manager turned to stone on the spot.

Too far? Save time?

Boss, do you really know what you're saying? It takes less than ten seconds to walk between your lounges. How is that far?!

The manager opened her mouth, still trying to fight back. "But...if she moves in, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Teacher Jiang? After all..."

"It'll be convenient." Ji Xueyu cut her off, no longer looking at her. "Go take care of it."

The manager had nothing left to say. As she left the room, she wanted to die.

She'd only meant to get Jiang Xuan a little breathing room. How had she ended up delivering her straight into the tiger's den?!

1. Happy ending, both physically and emotionally pure, secret love turns into a relationship, a dream come true.

2. No doting older woman, no crazy younger woman. (They're both pretty crazy.)

3. The older lead is 99% cold-hearted, iron-fisted, and indifferent to others. Both leads have 99.99% obsessive possessiveness. Please don't read if that's not your thing.
