My Rival Has Been Scheming to Win Me Over

Fang Yezi is beautiful and glamorous, and she's a regular villainess in the entertainment industry.

Her rival, Qiu Ruichu, is always the pitiful girl bullied by the villains Fang plays: framed, slapped, and splashed with coffee...

Their fans fight like crazy every day. Qiu Ruichu's fans even suspect that Fang Yezi bullies her off-screen, too.

But in truth, Fang Yezi has admired Qiu Ruichu for a long time. After all, they have exactly the same taste in scripts, so it's obvious they'd get along.

If Qiu Ruichu weren't always so cool and distant off-camera, hurrying from place to place and making Fang Yezi hesitate to approach her, they might have become friends long ago.

After working together for the nth time, Fang Yezi, who was socially awkward off-camera, finally mustered the courage to stop Qiu Ruichu and ask to exchange contact information.

But Qiu Ruichu's gaze was so cold that Fang Yezi's courage immediately evaporated. After hesitating for a long moment, she asked in a timid voice, "C-could you..."

"Sure."

Qiu Ruichu lifted her eyes. Before Fang Yezi could finish stammering, she leaned her face toward her and said calmly, "Go ahead and slap me."

Fang Yezi: "...Huh?"

-

Qiu Ruichu has a crush on someone.

She's gentle, kind, and beautiful, and she always kept to herself at school.

To pursue her, Qiu Ruichu lost her head and entered the entertainment industry too, spending a fortune to follow her and join the same productions just after she did.

But their relationship made no progress. Whether on-screen or off, Fang Yezi still looked at her as if she were a dog.

Qiu Ruichu realized that the person she had a crush on didn't seem interested in ordinary people.

Tossing and turning over it, she gritted her teeth and secretly studied all sorts of material, then surreptitiously tried to seduce her both on-screen and off.

At last, Fang Yezi's gaze began landing on her more and more often, and she took the initiative to send her a signal.

Qiu Ruichu suppressed her excitement and leaned her face toward her.
