Three years after his debut, Lu Xuetu was still a nobody in the industry. Searching social media with his full name turned up, at most, a few comments calling him a "pretty face."
Lu Xuetu: Isn't that just a compliment on how handsome I am?
His company came up with a new approach and told him to sell a BL image.
Lu Xuetu's eyes lit up. He slapped the table. "Then I want to do it with Xu Qingheng!"
His agent couldn't take it anymore and rapped him on the head. "You're both nobodies. Are you going to piggyback on each other's lack of popularity?"
Xu Qingheng, Lu Xuetu's sworn rival, was intensely homophobic. Doing a BL promotion with him would disgust him to death.
When Xu Qingheng was told about the "collaboration," he looked disdainful and reluctantly said, "Whatever."
Lu Xuetu: What a poser. Just watch me disgust you to death.
Xu Qingheng sneered: Whoever dodges the rumors is gay.
And so the two of them began their days of pinching their noses in disgust while putting on a fake show for the cameras.
Yesterday's number-one trending topic: Xu Qingheng and Lu Xuetu gaze sweetly at each other! Love at first sight, so sweet, waah!
Netizens: Could you at least take your act seriously? Maybe stop rolling your eyes?
Today's number-three trending topic: Xu Qingheng is way too doting, he's been peeling grapes for Tutu!
Netizens: ? Did you watch the whole clip? Xu ate all of them himself.
After three months of hard work, they got this review: You two are terrible at selling a BL ship, but your failure is so entertaining. A melon forced off the vine isn't sweet, but it's funny!
Lu Xuetu no longer had time to worry about what the fans thought. The longer he kept up the act, the more something felt off.
Why the hell did Xu Qingheng say he thought of him while writing that song? Why did he call him cute? Why, when there were so many excellent actors onstage, did he say Lu Xuetu was his favorite actor? Ahhh...
Dude, aren't you homophobic? Weren't you supposed to hate this? Why are you so smooth and natural about doing this with me?
Lu Xuetu was devastated to discover that he'd sold the act so well, he'd turned himself gay.
Could someone tell him why he looked at Xu Qingheng with such tender, flirtatious eyes?
To hide this secret crush, Lu Xuetu started keeping his distance. In public, he acted like they weren't close; behind the scenes, he avoided him, not daring to meet his gaze for fear the ship fans would expose his improper feelings.
The more the ship fans analyzed things, the more confused they got. This is getting weird. Don't tell us you've really fallen in love? Are you actually taking your jobs seriously? How are you being so careless?
This avoidance only made their popularity even more unstoppable. The people here for the laughs roared: You dodged the rumors so hard you became the top ship! Who said you couldn't do this? This is delicious!
Lu Xuetu's sudden awkwardness became too much for Xu Qingheng, who cornered him in the lounge and demanded, "What do you mean, avoiding rumors with me?"
Lu Xuetu suddenly remembered their agreement, "Whoever dodges the rumors is gay," and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm not!"
Xu Qingheng: "Oh. I am."
Lu Xuetu asked timidly, "Aren't you homophobic?"
Xu Qingheng was about to die of anger. It was because Lu Xuetu smiled at him every day, and looked so good doing it, that he had turned into the very kind of person he hated most. And Lu Xuetu still had the nerve to say that!
Couple: A terrible actor and idol, the bottom x a good-for-nothing singer who can't sing or dance, the top
(Bubbly, innocent little ray of sunshine x aloof, tsundere king)
Also known as: The National Top Ship Construction Plan
Reading guide:
1. Both are pure, and these are each other's first love. They are the only ones for each other, body and soul.
2. An argumentative couple whose daily routine is bickering and trading barbs.
3. The entertainment industry details are completely made up. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. If anything is too unrealistic, that's because I got carried away ( ). At heart, this is a sweet little story.
4. The characters aren't perfect and have their flaws. They'll grow, so please be a little patient with this couple.
Theme: Growing together and bringing out the best in each other.

A melancholic, young and thin-muscled singer, this character is so delicious. Who is this Lu Ying who can think of such a delicious character? . . . Are you a newbie, but your writing style doesn't feel like a novice's? If so, then you are so talented [continue][continue][continue]
Girls, this wave is so cute. I really want to see the two of them find out that things are getting worse and worse later on.
