[A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, deeply devoted gong who can’t tolerate a speck of dirt × a shou who would rather be misunderstood than explain himself, and doesn’t realize he likes men]
Two years ago, an audio recording secretly made by a scheming person destroyed the trust that had only just begun to grow between Jiang Yichen, an obscure actor, and Qu Ran, a top star. The feelings Qu Ran had hidden deep in his heart burned into him like a branding iron, leaving a mark he could never erase.
…
Two years later, the two meet again on a drama set, playing a couple. The plot turns out to be strikingly similar to the humiliating experience Qu Ran went through two years ago.
During filming, Qu Ran uses his character’s lines to viciously mock Jiang Yichen. The misunderstanding from their past has become an impossible knot to untangle. Not even half of the anger he has held onto for two years has faded when disaster strikes the filming location. And just then, he finally learns the truth…
After learning the truth, the two start dating through their characters.
When behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot airs, plenty of viewers and fans notice that Qu Ran, usually so aloof, is unusually gentle with Jiang Yichen. They suspect the two are dating and eagerly ship them.
Rumors of their relationship spread across every major platform. Wang Yu, who has long had a crush on Qu Ran, grows jealous and pays marketing accounts to push Jiang Yichen into the maelstrom of online gossip. Then he posts an audio recording he secretly made three years ago, throwing Jiang Yichen straight into the path of an online mob…
① Both the gong and the shou have flaws; neither is a perfect character.
② Their relationship is plagued by misunderstandings, but there is no groveling redemption arc.
③ This is not a second-chance romance.
④ The plot differs from reality to some extent.
Super beautiful, very touching 🥰🥰
