Summary
1.
Qin Mang is a famously beautiful but often dismissed as just a « vase » celebrity in the entertainment industry, who skyrocketed to fame after a dance video went viral.
Amid the desert winds, a young woman in a sheer red water-sleeve dress danced gracefully atop a majestic, snow-white lion—barefoot, with enchanting eyes and a mesmerizing waist, radiating an intoxicating allure. That one dance made her legendary, earning her the title of the entertainment industry’s top enchantress.
He Lingji, the head of the prestigious He family in Shencheng and a dominant figure in high society, stands at the pinnacle of the名利场 (glittering social scene) yet remains an anomaly amidst the extravagance.
With the refined beauty of a classical scholar but a ruthlessly decisive demeanor, he exudes danger and aggression, drawing countless women like moths to a flame. Yet, he remains rigidly disciplined in matters of the heart, as if untouched by worldly desires—like an unyielding glacier, impervious to any attempt to melt him.
In short, these two were never supposed to cross paths. Even the most avid shippers on CP forums never imagined pairing them together.
They were simply too mismatched!
Until one day.
An official blog announced that the illustrious He family patriarch would be joining Qin Mang in a reality show documenting celebrity couples’ lives.
The public: *Who with who? As a couple?!*
Just like that?
They went *public*?!

No one could have imagined that a man like He Lingji—devoutly restrained, with gentlemanly propriety etched into his bones—would one day be entangled with a woman as bewitchingly seductive as Qin Mang, their affection so intimate it was almost scandalous.
Later, during the filming of the show, the crew launched a surprise live broadcast.
As the cameraman approached the master bedroom, the half-open door revealed a suggestive exchange between the couple—apparently rehearsing lines.
Qin Mang, half-buried in the blankets, murmured in a soft, nasal voice, * »Hmm? I thought you were just helping me rehearse? »*
The supposedly indifferent He Lingji leaned in, one knee pressed against the mattress beside her, his expression lazily sensual as he replied, * »Mrs. He, have you ever heard of a saying? »*
* »Fake It… Until you make it. »*
