Ming Xiao, a little-known actor from the fringes of the industry, gets lucky and lands a role in a big-budget danmei drama, starring alongside top-tier star Ye Jingqiao.
After the drama airs, their pairing becomes an overnight sensation. But no matter how desperately the fans beg them to promote the pairing together, neither of them budges.
The reason is simple: Ming Xiao is far below Ye Jingqiao in status, and was forced to sign an agreement forbidding them from appearing together publicly or riding on Ye's fame.
Just as Ming Xiao is at home dreaming of a boost to his career, he learns that his promotional partner Ye Jingqiao has had an accident on set and fallen from a great height.
Ming Xiao rushes to the hospital. To his surprise, the moment Ye Jingqiao sees him, his eyes glisten with tears and he throws his arms around him. “Wifey, you're finally here! QAQ!”
Ming Xiao: ? What's this supposed to be?
The doctor says Ye Jingqiao has injured his brain and his memories are jumbled. He's convinced he's Qin Ye, the character he played in the drama.
In this unfamiliar world, he recognizes no one but Ming Xiao, whose face is identical to his character's wife.
To avoid a media storm, Ye's manager solemnly dumps him on Ming Xiao and asks him to look after Ye for a while, until his memory returns.
Ming Xiao, not interested in being someone's free, 24-hour personal caretaker, gives him a frosty look. “I'm afraid I can't do that. We agreed to keep our distance.”
The manager immediately tears up the agreement forbidding them from appearing together. “Name your price. A million-yuan endorsement deal and the lead role in an S-tier project. Is that enough?”
Ming Xiao's eyes light up. “I'm in!”

Ye Jingqiao is handsome and a great actor, and has both fame and fortune in the industry, with countless devoted fans. But in Ming Xiao's eyes, he's nothing but a complete scumbag.
During filming, Ye Jingqiao treated him with great care and flirted with him until the inexperienced newcomer fell for him. The night the production wrapped, Ming Xiao almost confessed, but accidentally caught him meeting his “secret girlfriend” late at night.
Ming Xiao realized he'd been a fool for getting so carried away with the role. He walked away at once and blocked Ye that very night.
Now the amnesiac Ye Jingqiao has fallen into his hands, and has eyes only for him, calling him “wifey” every other breath.
But Ming Xiao is unmoved, thinking only of how to take advantage of the situation.
If there's buzz to be had, why not ride it? He'd better ride it until Ye is completely bald!
So the pair, who previously had zero public interactions, are photographed by paparazzi shopping for groceries together, livestreaming sweet moments, and visiting their parents together. Even their pet parrot calls them “Mommy and Daddy”...
They pull out one promotional stunt after another, and seem to be in a blissful relationship.
Their fans celebrate every day, shipping them until they faint. “Who started the rumor that these two signed an agreement not to appear together? They're clearly living together, sharing a room, and sleeping in the same bed!”

Not long after, Ye Jingqiao regains his memory. Afraid he'll settle the score after all the publicity Ming Xiao milked from him, Ming Xiao moves out of Ye's place in the middle of the night.
He thinks everything is about to return to normal, but not long afterward Ye Jingqiao knocks on his door again, looking at him with pleading eyes. “Wifey, I've lost my memory again. Can you take me in one more time?”
Ming Xiao doesn't notice the flash of cunning in his eyes and inexplicably agrees once again.
Ming Xiao thinks this time living together will be no different from last time. Then, one late night, Ye Jingqiao barges into his room and pins him in his arms, kissing him fiercely. His hot, alcohol-scented breath brushes Ming Xiao's neck, and his voice is hoarse:
“Who was that man who brought you home today?”
“Why did he call you baby?”
“Wifey, are you cheating on me?”

【Cool and composed on the outside, inner monologue going wild: aloof, tsundere, little-known actor bottom
X Peacock showing off while chasing his love: self-deluded top-tier star top】
【Reader's Guide】
1. The top is faking his second bout of amnesia to throw himself at the bottom. The so-called “secret girlfriend” was purely a misunderstanding by the bottom. She's actually the top's maternal half-sister. If you dislike this ridiculous misunderstanding trope, proceed with caution!
2. Both are each other's first love, devoted in mind and body, one-on-one, happy ending. Their ship name is A Leaf of Spring Twilight, a pun on “one-night stand.” Ye Jingqiao is the top and Ming Xiao is the bottom. Neither is perfect, but the couple loves each other. No breaking up the pairing or reversing the roles.
3. A silly, fluffy story where everything serves the romance. Contains lots of descriptions of fans shipping real-life celebrities. Not suitable for readers who are 【genuinely devoted solo stans】 or 【top/bottom stans】. Please steer clear if that's not for you.
4. This is my take on the entertainment industry. Danmei dramas can be filmed and aired, with lots of fictional details. The characters are entirely fictional, with no real-life inspirations, no real-life inspirations, no real-life inspirations! Please don't mention unrelated people in the comments, speculate about the author's fan affiliations, or use A Leaf of Spring Twilight as a face-swapped stand-in for real people! Please respect one another. Comments that bring up unrelated topics will be deleted.
5. I drew the cover myself. Please don't steal it. The original image is on my Weibo account, @ShengchengChuwu. Come say hi!

Bro, Drop Some Coins!
-
Xu Yangjin is a broke college student who pinches every penny and is famous around campus as the ultimate work-study king. He envies every well-off classmate equally.
At this cold and uncaring school, the one person who gives him comfort is his roommate, Song Yu'an, who also receives financial aid for needy students.
One day, Xu Yangjin faints from overwork while on the job. When he wakes up, he has gained a strange superpower: he can see the numbers representing other people's bank balances above their heads.
Xu Yangjin stares speechlessly at the 52.8 above his own head. Is this power just here to humiliate him?
Maybe he should look at someone poorer and cheer himself up.
But when he looks up at the bed across from his, a golden light blinds him. Wait, hold on!
Why is the number above Song Yu'an's head 9999999999999...
Is it unlimited?!
How the hell does this guy have the nerve to apply for financial aid for needy students?!
-
Even more surprising, Xu Yangjin discovers that Song Yu'an has a coin-generating ability: the closer someone is to him, the bigger their bank balance grows.
Xu Yangjin's eyes light up. Why keep working? He'll get rich by clinging to his roommate!
Unfortunately, Song Yu'an is aloof and keeps people at a distance, so Xu Yangjin has to pull out all the stops to ingratiate himself with him.
He brings him meals every day, saves up his wages to buy him a birthday gift, and stays up all night helping him repair a damaged competition entry...
Even on Valentine's Day, afraid Song Yu'an will be lonely, he selflessly keeps him company for the whole day.
At dinner, Xu Yangjin accidentally drinks too much. On the way back, Song Yu'an kisses him beneath the streetlights.
Xu Yangjin is stunned. “Why did you kiss me?”
Song Yu'an: “Aren't you trying to win me over?”
Xu Yangjin is just about to explain when the number above his head suddenly increases by 999.
He rejoices. “Damn! So a kiss from you is worth that much? You should've told me, bro! Come here and let me kiss you ten more times!”
Xu Yangjin: ^3^
Song Yu'an: (///><///)
