"Readers have been tearing apart the romance scenes I write for eight years. So I'm going on a dating show to find inspiration."

Lu Zhou, owner of Xingzhou Entertainment, the web's hottest online novelist "Zhou Shangren," and the mysterious screenwriter "Screenwriter Z."

But in real life, he's been single for twenty-six years and has zero dating experience.

After his agent and the editor-in-chief conspire to trick him, he steps onto the livestreamed dating show Heartbeat House 2026 under the pretext of "experiencing life."

He thinks he's hidden his identity well.

Until the first episode airs and the live comments explode:

"Isn't that Zhou Shangren's face???"

"Wait, that figurine... Is he Screenwriter Z?"

"Isn't his company Xingzhou Entertainment???"

Lu Zhou: ...

What he didn't expect was that the quiet girl drawing under the same roof, Su Nian, is an art editor at a publishing house. She's gentle and easygoing, never competing for attention.

But one night, he accidentally catches sight of her drawing board.

On it is her drawing of his "Zhou Shangren" character, delicately rendered, with gentle eyes. Every line seems to say, "I've known you for a long time."

He freezes.

"Nian Nian Bu Wang," the illustrator with 320,000 followers, the official cover artist for Dragon Raja, and the kindred spirit he's followed for three years without ever meeting...

Is actually sitting right across from him, head down as she draws, pretending nothing happened.

Su Nian is just as stunned.

She came on the dating show only to spend thirty quiet days drawing.

But the guy sitting across the dining table, who just put a serving of food on her plate...

Why does he look more and more like the web novelist she's been following for five years?
