Brooding, flirtatious actor gong x cheerful, oblivious wage-slave CEO shou
Ning Chengxue x Yu Wan
Yu Wan is known as the entertainment industry's money tree. Every TV drama he produces or invests in becomes a smash hit, and he has a sharp eye for success. Yet he himself is a cheerful, oblivious office drone.
Fresh from winning a vacation, CEO Yu heads to Hengcheng, a city full of stars, ready to go with the flow and scout some talent on set. If he doesn't find some new faces soon, Jianshan Entertainment will go bankrupt before it can even make it to the next generation of the family!
While sipping a 9.9-yuan group-buy coffee in Hengcheng, CEO Yu runs into actor Ning Chengxue, who's sneaking a drink of coffee and looking half-dead.
CEO Yu: What's wrong with him?
Assistant: He's allergic to cheap coffee beans.
CEO Yu: So he's allergic to being poor?
Ning Chengxue: ? Someone sold me cheap beans at an inflated price. I was just scammed!
With Ning Chengxue's inexplicable support, CEO Yu works diligently on set, hauling bricks day after day. He fails to recruit a single actor, but somehow turns himself into the male lead of a short-form drama.
Sometimes you really have to wonder how a person can be this lucky.
CEO Yu goes further and further off course and is about to wrap up and leave when he unexpectedly receives a script for a high-quality short-form drama with two male leads. The script is excellent, and it's the latest work by the director who has been helping him along all this time. After much soul-searching, he decides to finish filming it before leaving.
Only after joining the cast does he realize: wait, his CP is actor Ning Chengxue? Who? Who's playing a CP with the actor? Me? I'm playing a CP with him?
Theme: People should take control of their own fate
