Chu Yinan and Lu Jinbai were sworn enemies, ruler and minister in the Great Yan dynasty. They both transmigrated to the modern world and were bound to a System, which tasked them with working together to become top-tier stars.
In private, they wanted to kill each other. On set, they pretended not to know one another.
Yet every night, they had to share a bed.
On a variety show, Chu Yinan lost a game and had to take a punishment. Lu Jinbai instinctively stepped in front of him.
[Viewer: If I didn't know that was a foam gun, I'd have thought it was real.]
Lu Jinbai: It's all for the mission.
While cooking in the kitchen, the two worked in perfect sync, each knowing exactly what to do.
[Viewer: There's no way they could do that unless they lived together.]
The two denied it outright and blamed each other.
The viewers got it. Oh, so they're an opposites-at-war couple! Time to ship them!
But they kept saying it was all for the mission, and that their couple act was just for show.
When Lu Jinbai's actions started crossing more and more lines, Chu Yinan asked suspiciously, "My lord Lu, you don't like men, do you?"
Lu Jinbai answered stubbornly, "Of course not. When I return, I still plan to marry the one I love."
As if that weren't enough, he swore solemnly, "Only a dog would like you."
Then rumors spread that Chu Yinan was involved with an award-winning actor.
The actor had come to the door to rehearse a scene with Chu Yinan.
Inside, Lu Jinbai pinned Chu Yinan against the door, desire and jealousy burning in his eyes. "Your Majesty, let's make our act real."
Chu Yinan pushed him away. "Weren't you going to marry the one you love?"
"I willingly bow my head and welcome you into my home, Your Majesty."
"Didn't you say only a dog would like me?"
Lu the Dog: "Then I'll be Your Majesty's dog."
