My Cold-Hearted Boss Wants to Marry Me

Lin Ruijiao dies with nothing but regret—and wakes up on the night she signed her soul away to Huarui Entertainment. In her past life, she was just a replacement, a white moonlight substitute for the company's ice-cold film empress Ye Ruihuan. Now she's back at square one: broke, desperate, and staring at the same contract that once destroyed her dreams. But this time, she knows the game. Armed with knowledge of the future, Lin Ruijiao rockets to stardom, becoming the hottest rising actress in the industry. Yet something's different—Ye Ruihuan, the untouchable award-winning actress known for her aloof perfection, is acting... strange. On set, Ye Ruihuan personally "coaches" her through intimate night rehearsals. During a reality dating show, she manipulates the producers to eliminate the male guest and takes Lin Ruijiao on romantic island dates herself. In a wilderness survival program, she ensures they're partnered together, sealing their "partnership" with a cold kiss that leaves Lin Ruijiao's lips tingling... Meanwhile, Ye Ruihuan—the crowned film empress who's never shown interest in anyone—finds herself dreaming of Lin Ruijiao every night, waking up with a racing heart and flushed cheeks. She knows Lin Ruijiao resembles her—the woman from her past—but she also knows Lin Ruijiao isn't really her. Ye Ruihuan can see through Lin Ruijiao's perfect act, the way she plays innocent and compliant. But that's exactly what draws her in: watching this clever little rabbit navigate the predator-filled entertainment world with such beautiful, calculated vulnerability. It isn't until one dream becomes too real, too passionate, that Ye Ruihuan realizes the terrifying truth—she's actually fallen for Lin Ruijiao herself. The internet thinks they're enemies. Huarui Entertainment's two biggest stars, locked in a power struggle as the rising newcomer threatens to dethrone the reigning queen. Their fandoms wage constant war, convinced their idols despise each other. Then Lin Ruijiao goes live, and Ye Ruihuan appears on camera, casually pressing a kiss to her lips: "Wife, give me a kiss." The internet explodes. --- After Ye Ruihuan finally confesses her feelings directly: Lin Ruijiao: "Sorry, but I'm frigid. I can't do romance." Later, watching Lin Ruijiao cling to her passionately in the throes of desire: Ye Ruihuan: "What happened to being frigid?!" Romance is optional, but marriage is mandatory.
