After My Fake Romance Backfired on the Variety Show

Chu Yueyi is a spirited and talented up-and-coming actress, but she’s always just short of hitting it big. On her agent’s advice, she finally decides to boost her popularity by appearing on a dating reality show and stirring up some buzz with a celebrity couple pairing!

Her partner is Shi Guanghua, a handsome and gifted musician. His only flaw? He’s terrible at communication and utterly unromantic – a reality show disaster waiting to happen.

Director: Yueyi, you’re a great actress. Help guide Guanghua – he’s new to the entertainment world.

Chu Yueyi: No problem, I’ve got this. I’m a pro carrying a newbie.

Faced with her cold, wooden co-star, Yueyi works overtime to set the mood and turn things around. Against all odds, she manages to make their on-screen romance go viral, turning herself and Guanghua into the internet’s favorite TV couple!

As the dating show wraps up, both of their careers reach new heights. But when it comes time to end their on-screen relationship, problems arise.

Shi Guanghua: So you reel me in, get bored, and now you’re planning to dump me?

Chu Yueyi: ?

After the show ends, when reporters ask if their relationship was real, the former on-screen lovebirds suddenly change their tune, giving completely different answers.

Chu Yueyi: It was all just for the show.

Shi Guanghua: We’re actually together for real.

Chu Yueyi: ??

During the dating show, Chu Yueyi played her part perfectly while Shi Guanghua remained unmoved.

After the show, Chu Yueyi desperately tries to distance herself while Shi Guanghua goes all-in on their relationship.

Chu Yueyi: Stop shipping us! Stop it! My publicity stunt has backfired!
