Handsome director x cool-headed, restrained, wealthy CEO
.
Six years into their marriage, Xue Sui agrees to sign the divorce papers on the condition that he take part in a divorce travel reality show. He's not trying to mend their broken relationship. He just wants to drum up publicity for his upcoming movie.
In front of the cameras, he plays the devoted, long-suffering husband, saying that without his muse, his beloved will never make another film.
Behind the cameras, he flirts with the handsome, wealthy CEO from another married couple, because he still hasn't found an investor for his next movie.
Once the cast list is announced, the first divorce reality show becomes a hit before it even airs. Alongside the heartbreaking director-and-actor pairing, there's another couple attracting plenty of attention.
One is an ordinary person; the other is a young CEO familiar to netizens. Rumor has it they married for business, and are together in name only.
Netizen 1: This setup feels so familiar. Am I sure I'm not reading a novel?
Netizen 2: Waiting for the premiere. Let the chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium arc hit like a storm!
But why are two handsome guys who both look like tops always hanging out together?
At first, netizens thought they were discussing how to win back their wives. Later, they thought the two losers were crying on each other's shoulders and comforting each other.
But how did they end up comforting each other all the way to a hotel?
Just as the new movie premieres, the director makes a big publicity stunt, and the CEO, finally able to go public with their relationship, posts: Yes, the director and I are together.
[Reader's guide]
1. Director x CEO, Xue Sui x Cheng Fuqing. The bottom is very devoted; the top returns his feelings. No switching or reversing. The top is not the bottom's first.
2. They were engaged a long time ago, but the top left his family to pursue his dream and broke off the engagement with the bottom.
The top doesn't love the actor; he's only obsessed with how the actor continually inspires him to make films, which is why they married in a flash. The bottom's marriage was a business arrangement, and they never slept together.
3. Before joining the show, both leads were already divorced! They just hadn't announced it! No cheating while married! (I want to write this on JJ so badly, but it's not allowed. This is so painful.)
4. Two awful people's honest feelings. Truly awful people, falsely sincere.
