As the domineering CEO everyone admired from afar, Gu Jiayi was like an untouchable flower atop a high peak.

Yet on Valentine's Day, he reposted a Weibo post: What's it like to like someone who's so outstanding?

Netizens immediately got excited, determined to dig up the identity of Gu Jiayi's dream girl, but they found nothing.

On Qixi Festival,

the famous Weibo comedy blogger @NotTangButSugar posted: Seeking a spouse online. Requirements: 1. Richer than me. 2. Good-looking. Anyone who qualifies, sign up!

And then,

domineering CEO Gu Jiayi reposted it immediately and commented: Sign me up!!!

Blurb for Bright and Fair

Ruan Jiao had a crush on Ye Zhuoxuan for seven years, spanning her entire youth.

On the day the college entrance exam ended, she finally worked up the courage to confess, only to discover that he didn't even remember her name.

Heartbroken after becoming the laughingstock of No. 7 High School, Ruan Jiao decided to go abroad.

Seven years later, international supermodel Ruan Jiao returned to China for a charity event.

Only then did she learn that her youthful idol had become a national heartthrob, and was still unmarried.

Rumor had it that it was all because he was still thinking about the girl who had gone abroad after middle school, his one true love.

Ruan Jiao, who had never quite given up on her feelings for him, felt her heart sink.

She resolved to cut off her feelings once and for all.

Ye Zhuoxuan had secretly loved a girl for fourteen years, but his own assumptions had made him miss his chances again and again.

At last, she returned to the country.

The little girl who used to seek him out all the time seemed like a different person.

At the banquet where they met again, Ye Zhuoxuan summoned his courage and said, “Long time no see.”

Ruan Jiao replied with a cold expression: “Sorry, have we met before?”

When the two were photographed having dinner together by paparazzi,

netizens wondered if she was the one true love Ye Zhuoxuan had cherished for years.

Ruan Jiao immediately took to Weibo to debunk the rumor: We didn't know each other before, and we're not close now.

We're working together. Don't make things up.

Her firm attitude put a stop to the hopeful shipping fans, who mocked themselves for inventing a couple.

Then one day, a deep dive into Ye Zhuoxuan's school days went viral.

One after another, people claiming to have been his classmates in middle and high school came forward with revelations.

Bystander No. 1: “I heard that in middle school, the big shot skipped chemistry class with the head teacher to watch his one true love perform, and got a major demerit.”

Bystander No. 2: “Word is, he could have gone to a provincial key high school after the middle school exams, but he chose City Experimental because it was close to his one true love's home.”

Bystander No. 3: “They say that in high school, he heard some punk from the same school roll his eyes at his one true love, so he beat the guy badly enough to land him in the hospital and nearly got expelled!”

Bystander No. 4: “I heard...”

Ruan Jiao: Wait, wait, hold on...

Why do these stories sound so familiar?
