Energetic, adorable artist of traditional Chinese-style comics x cool, alluring musician and drummer

A cat brings them together: how did my traditional Chinese-style music idol become my fake boyfriend, and my childhood sweetheart older brother, too?

Song Zhiyou never imagined her cat would escape through the window and bring home a handsome new neighbor.

With her family pressuring her to go on blind dates, she had no choice but to lie and say she already had a boyfriend.

Once she'd told that lie, she really needed to find a boyfriend to bring home.

Her best friend encouraged her to "make the most of living next door."

So she knocked on the neighbor's door and asked him for a favor. To her surprise, the handsome neighbor readily agreed.

There's a mysterious musician in the traditional Chinese-style music scene who goes by the stage name Qiyu. He's never shown his face, letting his work speak for itself.

Song Zhiyou has imagined countless times what kind of gentle, handsome person could write such music.

Until Qiyu's first in-person interview aired.

Song Zhiyou froze

The person on screen was clearly the neighbor living next door!

After Qiyu became a sensation, the public grew curious about his private life.

At the end of his first solo concert, with the spotlights sweeping across the venue, he suddenly picked up the microphone and calmly responded to all the rumors.

"I know everyone is curious about my love life, so let me say this."

"My girlfriend is here tonight."

The whole venue erupted in astonishment.

The big screen searched across the audience, then settled on Song Zhiyou.
