But when she tries to pull over a stunt aimed at wooing potential investors, her bluff is exposed and she loses her chance. That night, she gets drunk and stumbles into a “romantic” evening with her landlord – unaware that he is actually her college junior or that he has had feelings for her for years! Yan Yue is secretly a very successful voice actor. As destiny would have it, he is also a partner on a new project An Ran is about to start work on.
