Resilient, cool-headed children's music teacher x Distinguished, devoted top-tier star
Wooden-headed woman x Peacock-like man | Rekindled romance
Blurb: Rain pours down as Cheng Youchun and her colleague are stranded at a bus stop, unable to go anywhere.
"Look, it's Jiang Yishen!" Her colleague points to the giant poster at the bus stop.
The man in the poster wears a red, deep-V suit, with a silver rattlesnake necklace coiled around his neck and trailing down his chest.
He debuted at twenty and reached the top immediately. He's consistently swept up music's biggest awards, and luxury brands have changed their rules for him. And yet this man has had not a single dating scandal in four years since his debut.
A reporter, unable to contain their curiosity, asks what kind of girl he likes.
Jiang Yishen's gaze is cool. "Love? Only an idiot would believe it exists."
In an instant, the hashtag #JiangYishenHasSwornOffLove# surges to the top of every entertainment app's trending list, where it stays for ten days and nights.
Everyone says that anyone could fall in love, except Jiang Yishen.
Cheng Youchun watches her excited colleague and nods along.
Her colleague suddenly remembers something and asks, "Jiang Yishen went to the same high school as you. Did you know him back then?"
She knew him all too well. She was the one who dumped him.
Cheng Youchun: "No."
Her colleague: "What a shame."
Cheng Youchun will always remember that day. Jiang Yishen begged her not to break up with him, but she said it anyway. She watched his eyes grow dim, little by little, until hatred took their place.
He said, "Cheng Youchun, don't let me see you again for the rest of my life."
She looks back at the bus stop, then at the CBD in Jing City. Every electronic billboard is covered with Jiang Yishen's face.
Yes, he won't see her, but she keeps seeing him.

After three straight days of torrential rain in Nancheng, the water and power supplies in Cheng Youchun's residential complex become unstable. At home, she hears a hurried knock at the door.
She peers through the peephole. A face she never expected to see appears before her: Jiang Yishen.
"Hello, is anyone home?"
After much hesitation, Cheng Youchun opens the door. The man looks at her as if he doesn't know her.
"The water and electricity just went out while I was washing up. Would it be all right if I showered at your place?"
"There'll be a female staff member here to ensure your safety."
The man's wet hair hangs over his head. His white shirt is soaked and clings to his body, revealing glimpses of his abs. His black trousers hug his long legs.
Cheng Youchun's breath catches.

At one awards ceremony, Jiang Yishen is sitting in the audience when someone catches a glimpse of a girl's silhouette on his phone's lock screen.
The image gets posted, and the whole internet explodes!
[What a joke! I'd believe a pig could climb a tree before I'd believe Jiang Yishen could fall in love!]
[It's photoshopped, it has to be! You can't even see the girl's face, and I don't buy it!]
[Jiang Yishen? The guy who said only an idiot would believe in love? How could he possibly be dating someone!]
As the news keeps spreading online, Jiang Yishen posts on Weibo at one in the morning.
[Jiang Yishen V: Yes, I'm married.]
[Jiang Yishen V: She's the girl I wanted to marry back in high school, and now I have. [Hehe]]
[Jiang Yishen V: Everything I wanted to do with her in high school, I've finally done, one by one!]
He attaches a marriage certificate with the girl's face hidden.
Every major entertainment app crashes.
Everyone: !!!!
#JiangYishenIsAnIdiot#, #SoHeNeverDatedBecauseHeHadAWhiteMoonlight#, and #OnlyTheWhiteMoonlightCanDefeatTheWhiteMoonlight# all trend at once.

After Cheng Youchun rejects him again and again, Jiang Yishen considers giving up on liking her, on loving her.
He can't. He just can't.
Giving her up would hurt even more than hating her.
If that's the case, then he'll stay in her world and make sure she can't open her eyes without seeing him.
He'll come back into her life and make her fall in love with him.
