Swipe Your Black Card [Entertainment Industry]

Updates every other day, at 9 a.m. or 6 p.m. Before going premium, updates follow the rankings. Gu Qiaoqiao, a sophisticated tech tycoon who is sweet on the outside and cold within, with a self-serving streak, pairs with top star Quan Zhilong, who is cold on the outside and sweet within and thinks romance-brained people are beneath him. Gu Qiaoqiao was an orphan. From a young age, she knew her looks could make certain things easier for her, so she didn’t mind playing the sympathy card sometimes. But she really was poor. She had to support herself and find a way to support everyone at the orphanage, too. A regular job wouldn’t cut it, so she had to start a business! She scrimped and saved and worked hard every day, yet whenever she checked her bank balance, she felt like she was just taking up space in this world. After spending a few days at school, Gu Qiaoqiao finally realized something was off. The money on the card never seemed to go down, even though she always got a notification that her purchases had gone through. After a great deal of inner turmoil, Gu Qiaoqiao pulled up her statements and did the math. She added up every single charge. If someone came looking, she’d pay them back. If no one did, well, there was nothing she could do. She didn’t even know whose card she’d been using. Over in Korea, Quan Zhilong looked at the little charges appearing each day: 700, 1,000, even 20. What could you buy with 20 won? Had he even spent that much? He opened the details. Every small purchase had been made in Jinling. Was his card being stolen, or…? Contacting the bank did no good. The small charges kept coming. Gradually, Quan Zhilong developed a habit of guessing what his “thief” had eaten or done that day based on their purchases. The amounts were too small to make him abandon his work and fly to Jinling to search for someone in a sea of people. He thought things would go on like that until the incident happened and everyone started blaming him. Would the person spending his money blame him, too? He bought a plane ticket and flew to Jinling without a moment’s hesitation. Q&A: :Joanna, you even opened an entertainment division for GD. Netizens say you’re so hopelessly in love, it doesn’t fit your image as a tech tycoon. Qiaoqiao: GD is really good at making money. Long: She really loves me so much, I’m in tears… Qiaoqiao: This is all money I spent on your card. I invested it afterward. I rounded it up, so just consider the extra an interest payment. Content warnings: 1. The leads aren’t each other’s only partners. The heroine will date other people. As for Long, who’d believe me if I said he hadn’t dated anyone by then? 2. The heroine’s self-serving side only shows up once she’s achieved a little success. 3. The relationship won’t progress especially quickly. The heroine only wants to make money, and there will be a breakup. 4. The heroine’s path to wealth is a little melodramatic. It’s fiction, so don’t expect too much realism. 5. The heroine won’t enter the entertainment industry. She’s a straightforward businesswoman. 6. They can’t meet in person at first, so there will be chapters from both perspectives. They meet after accidentally inhaling something in Japan. Theme: Love where both people move toward each other
