Eighteenth-tier actress You Tao was on the verge of a dismal retirement from the entertainment industry when she was approached by the hottest Yuri dating show, Secret Heartbeat House. She was completely bewildered:
“What I’m lacking is money, not love, okay?”
Furthermore, the guests this season are notoriously difficult to get along with.
On her first day, she was assigned to the same dorm as a cold, ascetic older sister from a prestigious medical family. She was greeted by a hand in a white glove wielding a bottle of disinfectant, spraying her from head to toe. The beauty’s long eyes remained indifferent as she added, “I’m asexual. A friend signed me up as a prank. We can just be friends.”
On the second day, a cool girl with blue hair driving a multimillion-dollar supercar gave her a ride to go shopping. After receiving You Tao’s thank-you text that night, the girl hooked her chin like she was playing with a pet and spoke with pure narcissism, “I’m just here to have some fun, don’t take it seriously. Besides, the one I’m interested in isn’t you.”
There was also the teacher who seemed gentle and beautiful at first glance but hid a secret side, the popular idol who came solely for her company’s sake and the traffic, and the mixed-race younger sister forced by her family to make friends in the industry.
As the only person there without a powerful background, You Tao looked at the roles the production team assigned her: Trouble Maker, Professional Ship-Builder, Matchmaker, and Creator of Sweetest Fantasies.
You Tao: “Oh! So I don’t actually have to fall in love myself? What a deal!”
When the doctor didn’t want to date, You Tao became a counselor, painting a picture of love’s most beautiful form and highlighting the charms of the other guests. When the rich socialite couldn’t win someone over, You Tao stayed up drinking with her, providing comfort late into the night and telling her there are plenty of fish in the sea.
She accompanied the teacher to the disco to release work stress, taught the mixed-race girl how to use ancient poetry for a confession, and stayed up all night rehearsing romantic scenes with the superstar. She did everything possible to ensure these guests would pair up quickly so she could collect her matchmaker bonus and leave.
That is, until the eve of Confession Night.
You Tao clutched her confession card, preparing to head out, only to be stopped by the cool girl. The girl cleared her throat and tossed a card to her, “Surely no one is looking for you, right? I guess I’ll have to force myself to go on a date with you.”
“Who says no one is?” The doctor pulled off her gloves, walked over, and locked fingers with You Tao. “Even though I still don’t want to date anyone else, if that person is you…”
“There is no ‘if.’ For me, you are the only option.” The superstar walked toward her, dressed in dazzling finery.
The teacher politely presented a card to her, while the mixed-race girl simply snatched You Tao’s own card away, asking in perfect Mandarin, “Sister, I’m the only one you’ll choose, right?”
You Tao, suddenly caught in the middle of a battlefield: “…”
Wait? How did you all end up falling for me?
