Ming Yu transmigrates into a book, landing in the live filming of a novel soon to be adapted as Heartbeat Coordinates. The good news: she’s alive. The bad news: she has to play an innocent, lovestruck CEO. Watching herself on camera in a suit, the tips of her ears red, Ming Yu is a rich second-generation playboy who changes partners more often than handbags in real life. Now, in this girls’ romance reality-show novel, her mission is to play the “innocent CEO” who falls for the heroine, Qin Qing’an, at first sight: she has to stammer nervously, tremble when giving gifts, and blush after three seconds of eye contact. If she goes out of character more than three times, she’ll be erased.
To stay alive, Ming Yu grits her teeth and pretends to be innocent.
When she first meets Qin Qing’an, she wants to say, “You’re so beautiful, sis,” but her tongue slips and she says, “Your painting... has a pretty rebellious color palette.” The comments explode: “Why is this CEO kind of adorably sharp-tongued?”
When the other guests fight over Qin Qing’an’s props, she’s supposed to protect them clumsily, but instead she snaps, “Before you snatch someone else’s things, take a look at whether you’re even worthy.” #CEO Ming is so cool# trends online.
The System warns her: [Innocence score -50]. Forced to try some domineering-CEO lines, she says, “Woman, you’ve caught my attention.” Qin Qing’an raises an eyebrow and asks, “And then?” Ming Yu’s stammering gets edited into a viral meme video with over a hundred million views.
She thinks she’s ruined her performance, unaware that the whole thing has already gone off the rails.
The show’s director begs her every day to pick more fights, saying, “This is the real, unfiltered personality the audience wants.”
Two new female guests arrive, both set their sights on Ming Yu, and openly announce that they came here specifically to steal her away. Their blunt provocation sets the whole show ablaze!
Qin Qing’an’s possessiveness spirals out of control. Late at night, she knocks on Ming Yu’s door and runs a fingertip over her Adam’s apple. “How long are you going to keep acting ‘innocent,’ CEO Ming?”
After Qin Qing’an exposes the truth about Ming Yu’s transmigration and the two reunite, they join forces to turn the script against itself, rewriting the story live and refusing to stick to their assigned roles. The comments go wild: #Love that breaks the mold!#
From then on, the dating show is completely out of control. The innocent CEO turns into a bold, flirtatious playboy, while the aloof heroine becomes a fiercely protective girlfriend.
Ming Yu never expected to fall for the cool, reserved artist in the end?
