After the car accident, Gu Qingtong regained her memories and realized that she was a supporting female character in a tragic romance novel.
The male protagonist, her fiancé in a marriage alliance, saw the female lead as a pure and innocent beauty. Despite his dislike for Gu Qingtong, he still agreed to marry her for the sake of benefits. Fearing that she would be dragged into the complicated relationship between the male and female leads, with him chasing after her and her trying to escape, Gu Qingtong swiftly ran away.
At that moment, the sister of her former fiancé, a famous actress named Yan Chi, inexplicably proposed a marriage alliance with Gu Qingtong. In the original novel, Yan Chi was a beautiful and aloof woman who remained indifferent to everyone. Clearly, both of them were driven by family interests and would not interfere with each other, making them the perfect couple for a mutually beneficial marriage.
After their secret marriage, Gu Qingtong, who used to be an obscure actress, became self-aware and rarely displayed her shrewd nature. She assured Yan Chi repeatedly, “I understand my place. We each take what we need, and I will never disturb your life or affect your career.” Yan Chi’s gaze swept over her and finally stopped on the mole at the corner of Gu Qingtong’s eye. She responded with her usual cold and distant tone.
What Gu Qingtong didn’t know was that Yan Chi had dreamt countless times about those eyes, with teardrops falling on that mole, vivid and seductive. All the coincidences were meticulously orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives.

The news of the top actress and an unknown actor starring as a celebrity couple on a popular love variety show hit the top trending searches. Fans and netizens angrily criticized Gu Qingtong, accusing her of using Yan Chi for publicity. After the show aired, it became apparent that the couple was forcibly paired by the production team. Due to Gu Qingtong’s deliberate distance from Yan Chi, their couple name became a joke among the viewers, known as “Silent Gaze.”
While other couples were actively showing affection, fans of the “Silent Gaze” couple could only witness their beautiful and intimate interactions in edited videos by talented fans.
It was only after a certain recording session ended that the production team arranged a hidden camera live broadcast in the backstage resting area. All the viewers saw Gu Qingtong’s eyes turn red the moment she saw Yan Chi and pointed at her waist, full of grievances, saying, “I told you we had to record today! My waist has been aching all day…”
Yan Chi, being familiar with her needs, comforted her delicate partner, saying, “It’s my fault. I won’t act in fanfiction next time.”
The entire online audience was buzzing with excitement: “Tell us more, what fanfiction? Can I watch it for free?!”
