Sedemnásťročná Eliza Linová nie je napohľad ničím výnimočná, no má jedinečný dar. Vie skvele písať. Keď sa jedna z jej školských esejí o romantickom vzťahu s jej životnou láskou nečakane stane virálnou, celý jej život sa zo dňa na deň zmení. Odrazu má popularitu u spolužiakov na novej medzinárodnej škole v Pekingu, príležitosť na stáž v prestížnom časopise, ktorá odštartuje jej kariéru... a obrovské tajomstvo, ktoré musí udržať. Eliza si svoju esej vymyslela. Doteraz nemala žiadny vzťah a nebola ani zamilovaná. V snahe utajiť pravdu za každú cenu uzavrie dohodu so známym hercom zo svojej triedy, príťažlivým, ale vnútorne rezervovaným Cazom Sungom: ak sa bude vydávať za jej priateľa, pomôže mu s prihláškami na vysokú školu. Caz je v úlohe priateľa snov naozaj dokonalý – na hodinách jej píše lístočky, rozosmieva jej malú sestru a berie ju na motorke do najlepších stánkov s občerstvením po celom meste. Keď sa však vzťah s Cazom začne zdať príliš presvedčivý, všetky Elizine starostlivo pripravené plány sú v ohrození. Dokáže ešte nasledovať svoje sny, ak by znamenali zlomené srdce?
