Introduction to the novel
When a poor boy who "pretends to be sunny" meets a noble man who is "hard-tongued and soft-hearted," the two lonely souls stumble upon the gentlest redemption amidst misunderstandings and temptations.
Ye Chenzhou, a new artist discovered by talent scouts from a game anchor, is used to covering up his vulnerability with a smile. He comes from a poor family, and even pursues his dreams with caution and embarrassment; Shang Shixu, the top boy band ACE, the eldest son of the Shang Group, hides a sensitivity that longs for recognition under his sinister and vicious shell.
The first time they met in the practice room, it was his "natural familiarity" that collided with his "keep away from strangers"; they accidentally collaborated on a BL drama, and the way he shivered with cold in the rain scene made him unable to take his eyes away for the first time; the high fever and guardianship in the hotel late at night was the first time the two hedgehogs took off their spikes and saw each other's embarrassment under disguise.
The harsh words "I'm afraid you'll hurt me if you die" hide unacknowledged concern; a cup of coffee to say thank you opened the prelude of "silent help". From the crew to the variety show, from tit-for-tat to walking side by side, they finally understood: It turned out that those "dislikes" were all the heartbeat of "seeing another self"; those days of "hard work" had quietly turned into the peace of mind of "having someone by their side" due to the appearance of the other person.
This is the two-way rush of two lonely people - you warm me with your smile, and I protect you with silence. The most touching redemption is never dramatic, but that I understand your disguise and am willing to give you a glimmer of light that will not be exposed.
Concept: Two lonely souls wrapped in hard shells, silently supporting each other with a tacit understanding that cannot be broken, passing glimmers of light in corners where each other cannot see, and finally turning the days of struggling alone into salvation with someone side by side.
