Keep Running 14: Fate Slapped Me in the Face

[One woman, two male leads, ambiguous romance, adored by all, realistic, mildly comedic]

Xu Youli started out as a child actor. From the early days of Keep Running, she was known among the cast as their unofficial little sister.

The cast of Keep Running changed again and again, but Xu Youli stayed in touch with everyone. Whenever she had time, she would drop by to help out. She was praised for giving every task her all and for tactfully stepping in to smooth things over for everyone.

Since Xu Youli was busy acting, she also had another “dad” in Sha Yi.

“Youli, come help us out, okay? Dad Sha needs you.”

As soon as she got Sha Yi’s message, Xu Youli set off without a second thought. She never expected to join Running Man 14 as a guest, only to end up becoming a regular.

The Running Man cast had a new powerhouse calling the shots.

The unofficial little sister suddenly got an official spot, but Li Chen and Zheng Kai only found out that day.

The two older brothers took one look at the [new] regular and felt their spirits sink. Why had nobody told them in advance?

But the contract was already signed, so bring her on. They all knew each other anyway.

Fan Chengcheng?

Her sharp-tongued childhood friend, with whom she had a little argument every other day and a big one every three days.

“Fourteen years, and you finally got an official spot? I got mine two years before you.”

Li Yunrui?

A thoughtful older brother she had worked with often and liked quite a bit, with plenty of fans shipping them.

“Even if it seems like you don’t really need me, remember to come to me if you do.”

Anything that differs from reality is the author’s invention. The male leads are Fan Chengcheng and Li Yunrui, and the story takes an ambiguous-romance approach.

Zhang Zhenyuan and the heroine are purely a bickering senior-junior pair. He’s the number one fan of shipping her with someone.
