Jiang Lanyue was a washed-up nobody actress mired in scandals. To make money, she took a gig on an obscure, low-key livestreaming reality show that barely anyone had heard of.
A nobody actress on a nobody show. Jiang Lanyue thought it had a nice ring to it.
At least, if she messed up on camera, hardly anyone would know.
Being irrelevant was the best disguise.
But then her ex-boyfriend, a top-tier star and award-winning actor, suddenly showed up.
Oh no. The show couldn't stay obscure anymore. It became a hit!
Her ex-boyfriend served her food on camera, tied her shoes, deliberately messed around on a motorcycle so she'd have to hug him, and cheated in a game in front of everyone just to help her win. When asked who was the prettiest in the industry, he said it was her. When asked who had the best character, he said it was her...
Netizens shipped them like crazy, and the hot searches were flooded every day.

Host: "The whole internet is shipping you two. On behalf of everyone, let me ask: do you like Jiang Lanyue?"
Xiao Moran gave a soft laugh. "Take out the 'do you' and the answer is yes."
Weibo crashed that day.
Sensitive, kind-hearted, washed-up actress vs. devoted, warmhearted award-winning actor
Your appearance taught me what it means to have your heart skip a beat. / My birthday wish is to grow old with you. I've made that wish for so many years, until we truly grew old together.
--Xiao Moran

[Blurb]
Lü Muyuan thought she was the happiest woman in the world. She had married Lu Mingcheng, the man she'd admired since childhood.
He was the famous eldest son of the Lu family, one of Jingzhou's most prominent wealthy clans, and the powerful president of Hongyu Real Estate Group. Everyone looked up to him.
After they married, Lu Mingcheng was attentive to every detail, considerate and caring, and constantly surprised her with romantic gestures.
He thought of everything for her. Like a princess, she was cherished in the palm of his hand every day, and everyone envied her.
Lü Muyuan thought she was the happiest woman in the world.
Until one day, she discovered that Lu Mingcheng's decision to marry her, his kindness toward her, and everything he had done for her were all carefully planned. It had all been part of a scheme to maximize his own advantage.
So everything had been done for a reason.
So love could be faked.
A few days later, Lü Muyuan threw the divorce papers at Lu Mingcheng.
Her voice wavered with tears, but her words were firm.
"Divorce!"
-
Lu Mingcheng, eldest son of the powerful Lu family, had been ambitious since childhood, determined to become chairman of Hongyu Real Estate Group.
He had followed his father through one high-society gathering after another from a young age. Mature beyond his years, he was accustomed to planning ahead and scheming.
Even his marriage was a move on the chessboard he'd laid out.
Until one day, divorce papers hit him.
His usually gentle and understanding wife held back tears and said, one word at a time:
"Divorce!"
The man who was always composed and unruffled by any storm panicked.
And so began a dramatic, bittersweet journey to win his wife back.
Dark, calculating, and always several steps ahead, the heir to a wealthy family vs. a gentle, refined heiress who never backs down when it matters
Lu Mingcheng had planned for everything and kept it all under control. Gradually, he learned that some things can't be planned or controlled, and love is one of them.
A little scene:
To win his wife back, Lu Mingcheng tried every trick in the book.
His secretary, whose marriage was blissful, offered some advice: "To win a woman's heart, first win her stomach."
So Lu Mingcheng, who had never set foot in a kitchen and couldn't even handle basic chores, nearly blew up the kitchen before finally learning how to cook. He insisted on making and delivering her meals every day, rain or shine, even though Lü Muyuan wouldn't touch the lunchbox.
Realizing he had little talent for cooking and that the food tasted too mediocre to make his wife take a second look, Lu Mingcheng was about to give up. But that very day, he noticed that one piece of braised pork ribs was missing from the returned lunchbox.
His wife's best friend sent him a message: "Muyuan ate one of the ribs today. She said it was edible."
And so, every day, the kitchen saw the impeccably dressed young master in an apron, working on his cooking.
The Lu family's chef: "??? Oh no, they might be out of a job."
No one would have imagined that Lu Mingcheng, a lofty, pampered president whose fingers had never been sullied by household chores, could one day make a table full of delicious dishes.
But Lu Mingcheng said he would cook for only one person in his life.
For the woman in his heart.
For his wife.
Reading guide:
1. This is a sweet romance, with plenty of satisfying moments too. The hero will suffer while trying to win his wife back later on, and will pay for his mistakes! In the little scene, the heroine eating his cooking doesn't mean she's forgiven him.
2. The hero is quite dark and calculating at first, with his eyes fixed only on profit and ambition! He will change gradually. If you have high moral standards for the hero throughout, this may not be for you!
3. The hero's perspective is Marriage Before Love followed by a quest to win his wife back; the heroine's perspective is a childhood crush come true.
4. Both leads are pure, with no romantic or sexual history and only each other in their hearts. The ending is extra sweet and happy.
