The Paranoid Film Queen Hooked Me, and I Fell in Love

Before entering the industry, Xu Zhiyan had once been obsessed with shipping other people’s romances, indulging in sweet fantasies to the point of near delusion.

But after stepping into the entertainment world, she looked back at her past self and felt as if all those emotions had been fed to the dogs. Who still believed in CPs? Only fools!

Then came her first film, where she starred alongside the rising film queen, Shen Buhui. A mere fifteen-second interaction between them on screen took the internet by storm, catapulting her to newfound fame. In an instant, an outspoken CP fandom was born.

Faced with fans screaming about how sweet and perfect they were together, Xu Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of affection for them.

Only she knew the truth—that Shen Buhui, draped in a slit cheongsam, appearing soft and boneless as she leaned intimately against her, was not as seductive as she seemed. In the unseen corners beyond the camera’s reach, those eyes, which should have been filled with charm and affection, were instead cold and distant.

Determined not to let her CP fans suffer heartbreak, Xu Zhiyan made a bold decision—to take the initiative and win over the beauty herself. She was going to turn their scripted romance into a real happy ending!

Shen Buhui had always known that something was wrong with her.

She wanted to keep the person she loved by her side, to ensure that in those starry eyes, there was only her.

But in the end, the weight of distant love crushed all the dark, twisted, and inhuman thoughts that lurked within her.

Until the day she saw Xu Zhiyan on set—smiling radiantly, as warm and dazzling as the sun.

The beast in her heart stirred, the leash holding it back barely hanging by a thread.

“I love you, so I must stay away from you.”

“I love you, so I must restrain myself.”

Until the moment you love me in return—then I will have nowhere left to retreat. My gloom and obsession will come to light, yet you will hold me close instead.
