This Damn Charm

Lu Qianqiao kept his nose clean and had no scandals anywhere online,

but after winning Best Actor, his acting took a nosedive, and he became the source of entertainment industry's gossip for the entire year.

After accidentally transmigrating, Lu Qianqiao returned to his own body a year later.

When he saw the state of things, his world collapsed.

During the year he was gone, the transmigrator who took over his body was a master of juggling relationships: a model boyfriend to the world, gentle and affectionate, but behind the scenes, wearing Lu Qianqiao's face, he secretly dated everyone in the industry he'd ever spoken to.

He didn't spare the Best Actress, rising stars, or comedians. At least three top-tier celebrities even became bitter enemies over him, so everywhere Lu Qianqiao goes now is a battlefield.

"Uh, there are three other scandals in someone's hands." His agent is just as helpless. "The only thing you can do now is..."

Lu Qianqiao: Publicly clarify that he's single!

Agent: Publicly announce your relationship.

Lu Qianqiao: "???"

His agent thinks having someone serve as a shield would help.

Lu Qianqiao refuses to accept it.

Fortunately, everyone was only hurt emotionally. Apart from money and feelings, no one suffered any more serious harm.

Lu Qianqiao soon cleared up all the romantic entanglements and announced that he had asked all his friends, and not one of them was his true love. People should stop speculating.

Until he accidentally sees Yue Chen's chat history while filming a show.

That quiet actor had always seemed aloof. Over the past year, Lu Qianqiao had fallen behind while Yue Chen steadily advanced, and now they were starting to compete for the same roles.

Lu Qianqiao doesn't know him well, but he knows Yue Chen is a blank slate. Yet the chat history is with Lu Qianqiao himself, and it seems to contain something they shouldn't let anyone see?

Lu Qianqiao feels suffocated. Could Yue Chen have fallen for the fake version of him, too?

Worse, there isn't the slightest trace of Yue Chen's relationship, and Lu Qianqiao actually overlooked him.

So in a hotel room, Yue Chen secretly asks him, "Want me to help you and pretend to be your lover?"

No way. He's so genuine. What exactly did Yue Chen get swindled out of, and can Lu Qianqiao really make it up to him?

Forget it. He'll just keep pretending.

-

The person Yue Chen had loved for years suddenly changed, but now that he'd finally gotten a chance to get close to him,

he didn't want to give it up.

After changing his hairstyle and adjusting his clothes, Yue Chen awkwardly edged closer, hoping to become one of Lu Qianqiao's many rumored lovers.

Sure enough, Lu Qianqiao treated him as a lover. Yue Chen was probably cheap and easy... that had to be it.

Theme: Nothing is impossible for those who persevere.
