Fang Yibai was a pampered, treasured fake young master from a wealthy family. Then he fell from grace overnight and was kicked out by the real young master. Even the person he loved left without a word, forcing him to enter the entertainment industry to make a living. And yet Fang Yibai still became the envy of everyone.
His looks are bewitching to the extreme, and he has a natural knack for becoming a sensation. He is widely recognized as the industry's most sought-after CP partner: whoever gets paired with him becomes a hit.
He runs into a washed-up singer at the airport, and one shared glance and smile sets the internet ablaze. The singer makes a comeback and becomes a top-tier star.
At a chaotic film set, his sincere, innocent gaze meets that of a rising director explaining a scene, and a teacher-student CP appears out of nowhere.
In a scene where he fights with the male lead's younger brother over the female lead, he brings out the doomed feeling of two brothers in love with someone they can never have. Their brother CP floods short-video platforms...
Everyone wants to be paired with him, except one person.
Xu Nuo is a popular award-winning actor, reserved and aloof, and never gets involved in industry drama. Whenever he trends, it's always because of Fang Yibai, with hashtags like "can't stand each other," "sworn enemies," or "competing for an endorsement."
Fans of the two have turned them into the entertainment industry's number-one nemeses.
Then one day, a shocking video surfaces.
In a dim, narrow stairwell, Fang Yibai faces a tall man closing in on him. His eyes are red-rimmed, his expression furious. The next second, he punches the man in the face.
The trending topics explode that day!
Fans of every CP rush to comment: "How dare you bully our precious brother?" "Hey, you-know-who, get over here! Your wife is being bullied!!" "Why does Brother reward him? Hit me instead, I'm tougher than he is!"
Onlookers leave a comment: "Is that Fang Yibai's sworn enemy, Xu Nuo? Is he jumping on the bandwagon too?"
Xu Nuo's fans immediately fire back: "Don't make baseless accusations! Our brother keeps himself pure. Don't drag him into CP marketing, thanks."
Just as the two fandoms are tearing into each other, both men announce that they will appear on a dating reality show.
The cast also includes a top-tier singer, an up-and-coming director, and a popular actor.
Fans of every CP are ecstatic: "Let our brothers compete for him, hahaha!!!"
Xu Nuo's fans sneer: "What a joke. Who'd want to be paired with that little minx?"
But the show gradually takes an unexpected turn.
When Fang Yibai teams up with the singer for his debut performance of their duet, Xu Nuo looks on coldly. "You can't carry a tune. If you can't sing, don't."
When the director invites him to star as the male lead in a sure-fire hit, Xu Nuo pours cold water on the idea. "This show won't be a hit. Don't get your hopes up."
When the popular actor knocks on his door late at night, Xu Nuo warns him outright. "You two are both bottoms. Don't get the wrong idea."
Fang Yibai's fans: "Shamelessly jealous."
Xu Nuo's fans: "Our brother is kind-hearted, unlike certain people who spend all day showing off like peacocks."
The fan war is about to erupt, but after the show airs, everything spirals out of control.
During the roommate selection, Xu Nuo presses close to Fang Yibai until their noses touch. "Will you share a room with me tonight?"
During an outdoor adventure, Fang Yibai lies across Xu Nuo's back, clutching his neck and ordering him, "Watch your step! You're jostling me so much my butt hurts!"
Late at night, a heavy breath suddenly comes through the recording equipment in Fang Yibai's bedroom. "Can I hold you while we sleep?"
Both fandoms fall silent. The cold, career-minded award-winning actor has become a lovesick fool, and his fans are heartbroken.
Only the CP fans are ecstatic: "What kind of new CP-marketing strategy is this? Why is it even more delicious now!!!"
After the dating show ends, the rest of the shocking video comes out.
After the punch, Xu Nuo pins Fang Yibai in a corner and kisses him until his legs go weak. When Xu Nuo looks down at him, his eyes brim with affection. "Baby, let's make up. Please."
Fang Yibai sneers. "Fine. Come on the dating show with me, and I'll think about it."
The truth comes out, and fans everywhere are heartbroken: "So we were all just part of your little game!!"
Only the CP fans howl at the sky: "I never thought I'd see the day I'd ship a real couple!!!! Daddy, Mommy, we're hungry, feed us ^_^"
Everyone thinks they're sworn enemies. Only the two of them know the truth: one was dumped years ago and is still waiting, while the other is determined to trick him into joining the dating show and publicly expose their relationship. They use all their acting skills on each other.
A top-tier succubus, a teasing little minx of a bottom × an intensely possessive, scheming, secretly flirtatious top
