Trending With You

With twenty thousand followers on Instagram, a growing travel vlog channel on YouTube, and trips across Asia documenting food, culture, and hidden destinations, Raenerys Cortez is slowly building a name in the travel content world.

She's not a superstar and she's not extremely famous, but she's happy that she's achieving her dream step by step, traveling to different places and sharing them with others. Even though she has only visited a few countries so far, some people already recognize her from time to time.

She's already happy with that. But she would be even happier if more people watched her videos, which is why she truly puts effort into her vlogs.

Until the day came.

She was invited to a luxury brand event in Manila. She isn't really fond of fancy social gatherings and big crowds, but for the sake of her vlogging channel, she needed to attend. Besides, it would be a waste to miss the opportunity. She might even get sponsorships or partnerships there. She has always dreamed of that.

Until she accidentally and literally trips into Elian Ruiz Liu.

Yep, that Elian Ruiz Liu. The internationally famous runway model with millions of fans, luxury campaigns, and a reputation that follows him everywhere.

All it takes is one perfectly framed photo, and boom! They're both trending. And not just trending, but trending because of a dating scandal. That definitely wasn't what Rae expected to gain from that event.

To control the rumors and protect their reputations, both of their teams come up with a solution: fake the relationship.

Just for three months.

"It's only acting," they said.

But the longer they pretend for the cameras, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends. Because falling in love was never part of the plan.

But the internet already believes their love story. And sometimes... the most convincing lies are the ones that start feeling real.
