Shen Yuning was a nobody in the entertainment industry, so obscure that her cat shed more often than she trended online.
Then, at a glamorous celebrity gala, she got drunk and clung to a “pillar” in the hotel corridor, sobbing:
“I don’t even dare dip my hot pot in sesame paste! Why am I still not famous?”
“And you! Why are you so cold and aloof? You look just like the dog belonging to my trashy ex-boyfriend!”
The “pillar” froze.
When Shen Yuning sobered up, she discovered that it was Lu Feiyan, the top-tier star who had just returned from abroad, was so hated online he was practically canceled, and was rumored to be cold and abstinent.
Even worse, the very next day he was supposed to costar with her as the male lead in a sweet romance drama.
The whole internet was waiting for Lu Feiyan to announce that he was backing out.
But Lu Feiyan didn’t withdraw. Instead, he began making “mistakes” with suspicious frequency.
When asked about his ideal type in an interview, he stared into the camera. “Someone who cries in front of me.”
During a variety show game, he deliberately lost, then declared without a trace of shame, “She won. I let her.”
When fans lamented that their beloved star must have been kidnapped, he reposted the post and commented, “I wasn’t kidnapped. I volunteered.”
Panicking, Shen Yuning posted a clarification on Weibo in the middle of the night: [We’re just colleagues!!]
Lu Feiyan immediately reposted it: [Right, colleagues.]
Then he added: [But you can pursue a colleague, too.]
The topic exploded across the trending charts.
Shen Yuning called him in a panic. “Lu Feiyan, have you lost your mind?!”
The man on the other end of the phone chuckled lazily. “Yeah, I have. Ever since the day you said I looked like a dog.”
