Xu Tingyun is a top influencer, beautiful with a sweet voice. He calls fans of every age "sis," and his adoring fans call him their darling Tingting.
Under pressure from his company, he takes on a dating competition show and films videos with four men the company has selected.
The people picked are Xu Tingyun's close friends, two mid-tier influencers.
The last contestant is the guy he had a crush on in high school, Jiang Huaize, now a top knowledge influencer on a short-video platform.
Remembering how bluntly Jiang Huaize rejected him back then, Xu Tingyun feels flustered. He decides to get close only to the other three and act as if Jiang Huaize doesn't exist. But the former crush he used to go out of his way to avoid now keeps showing up in his line of sight.
While Xu Tingyun is filming with his friends, Jiang Huaize appears on camera under the pretext of helping out, turning that episode into a three-person feature.
During a group livestream dinner, Jiang Huaize keeps bringing up Xu Tingyun's likes. That night, posts speculating that they used to date flood the internet.
When one contestant asks him to film an escape room video, Jiang Huaize suddenly starts a livestream, putting the plan on hold.
Suspecting that Jiang Huaize is trying to sabotage him, Xu Tingyun angrily goes to confront him. He's just about to ask if Jiang Huaize is messing with him when he sees his own photos covering Jiang Huaize's room. Jiang Huaize is in the bathroom, playing a video of Xu Tingyun made for his female fans. The muscles in his arms disappear beneath the water, sending ripples across its surface.
The moment their eyes meet, that predatory gaze sends a shiver through Xu Tingyun. He turns to run, but the dripping-wet man catches him and pins him against the wall.
Their foreheads touch. Jiang Huaize's breathing turns ragged. "You saw something private. You think you can just leave without paying for it?"
Jiang Huaize was raised from childhood to be an heir. Dating young was absolutely forbidden, and liking a man was even more unacceptable.
In his second year of high school, he rejected Xu Tingyun's confession. He turned him down several more times afterward, thinking he could hold back his inexplicable desire.
But only when Xu Tingyun gave up on him did he finally understand.
Winning the dating competition show would let him run a couples account with Xu Tingyun for a month. It was Jiang Huaize's only chance.
So the once-cool male idol humbled himself and tried every means he could to get Xu Tingyun's attention.
"I'll make up for the love I missed tenfold. Will you give me another chance to win your heart?"
