[Sharp-tongued saintly influencer uke x Reclusive genius musician seme]
Zhong Yi was once a top agent in the industry. After his own artists joined forces to stab him in the back, he was saddled with accusations of exploiting, harassing, and bullying them. He became public enemy number one among their fans.
Even his later attempts to set the record straight were repeatedly reported, and his account with a million followers was flooded with abuse.
Zhong Yi's final post read: Fine. After half a lifetime of hard work, all I have to show for it is infamy. Lao Ji, remember this: when everyone is out to get you, the only thing behind you is your own backside.
So he slunk back to his hometown to farm, and the account he'd worked so hard to build faded into obscurity.
He had no idea that someone had stubbornly walked through the darkness, only to find that the gray account would never reply again.

Three years later, an elderly family member suddenly fell ill. Desperate for money, Zhong Yi had no choice but to ask a friend in the industry for help.
His friend was stunned by how far he'd fallen. "Buddy, who's supposed to be helping who here? Every artist you used to manage has crashed and burned, while every artist you've roasted has gotten famous. Even the fortune sticks at the temple aren't as accurate as that mouth of yours."
Zhong Yi, whose wicked mouth seemed blessed with supernatural powers, said, "It must be a coincidence..."
So, despite the mockery, he became a razor-sharp commentary streamer. He praised popular celebrities for chasing clout, and went easy on lesser-known actors.
He thought his public persona would fall apart in no time, but...
He'd barely finished giving a stiff, half-hearted compliment to a bunch of celebrities before they all landed in scandals one after another.
Meanwhile, the little-known actors he'd roasted actually found their way into the public eye thanks to his commentary.
He told a young man who reeked of "zero-star potential" to try a challenging role, and the low-budget horror film ended up dazzling audiences.
"Staying in the wrong line of work is like wearing shoes that don't fit." One actor finally gave up acting and used his excellent speaking skills to earn a journalist's license.
The veteran actor who'd been jumping from one production to the next with nothing to show for all that effort finally settled down and put his heart into crafting a good work.
Zhong Yi only wanted to make quick money. Looking at his packed schedule, he wondered every day: when would this bizarre persona of his finally come crashing down?

At first, Zhong Yi only wanted to film celebrities at an awards banquet and ride their coattails for some attention. Little did he know he'd end up catching a big one!
The genius musician was said to appear and disappear like a dragon, winning award after award without ever showing up in person. Now he set aside his usual arrogance and leaned into Zhong Yi's camera, smiling warmly. His refined, distant face was full of shyness and bashfulness.
Wen Xuze's voice was deep and clear, every word utterly beguiling. "You can ride my coattails all you want. If it's you, you can do it for as long as you like."
Later, Zhong Yi's account lit up again. Fans of the "Xu Yi" ship flooded the comments, laughing and crying as they read his posts.
Zhong Yi, there's more behind you than your own backside. There's also Wen Xuze, who's lost because he can't find a way to contact you...
