The Scheming Heiress Joins the Love Show

One day, Ivy Green receives a call from her popular older brother: \"My first love is joining a dating show. Look after her for me.\" (In other words, make sure to step in and cause a scene if you see her getting close with other male contestants.)

Ivy: That’s my specialty!

From childhood until now, causing chaos has been her number one skill.

But as Ivy keeps \"watching over\" her, she finds herself getting drawn in.

Her frustrated brother: “This is how you’re looking after her?”

In The Romance Guide for Stars, a reality show originally set up as a four-man contest for three women with all the expected drama, Ivy and Kate Stone’s unexpected chemistry soon captivates the audience. Fans quickly proclaim it the greatest sapphic romance ever on screen.

Kate, a former child star with over a decade of fame, is the darling of the entertainment world. Ivy, often labeled the “next Kate Stone” during her girl group audition days, used to find her fanbase frequently clashing with Kate’s.

Fan of the couple: “They’re a match made in heaven, perfect in every way!”

The two eventually reach a friendly agreement to play along with the fan interest.

After the show, however, they cease all public interactions.

Onlookers: “Guess it was just a publicity stunt.”

But soon after, they appear on another variety show together.

Fans glued to their screens: “They’re really together! Someone, close that closet door!”

Later, after numerous public displays of affection, the couple’s fans are worn out: “We’re done trying to suppress this—let’s just go with it.”

At an international awards ceremony, Kate takes the statuette for Best Actress. When asked what she most looks forward to next, she answers, “Getting married.”

The internet collectively swoons, crashing the trending servers.

Ivy and Kate\'s fan club nearly disbands in despair, the forums filled with heartbreak—until later that day, a surprising message appears.

@KateStone: I meant, marrying my wife.

Years later, fans look back on that show where their love story began, and the clues were there all along.

Snippet:

The two filmed a short story together, and on the day of its release, they livestream their reactions at the crew’s invitation. When certain scenes appear, Ivy turns beet red, hiding against Kate.

Fans watching: “Help! This is too much for me!”
