Fu Bo was never the long-term-commitment type.

As a child, he had hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, dogs...

Every time, he would excitedly bring one home and take care of it with great enthusiasm, only to give it away less than a week later.

After graduating, he neither did what his mother wanted and joined his father's company to fight for his father's favor against his half-brother, nor became a designer. Instead, he made niche suspense films and became a director.

What's the point of being devoted?

Life is short. Might as well live it up!

Yan Beigui was Fu Bo's assistant for three years, taking care of him with all his heart.

Then Fu Bo paid him off with a bank card.

"Fu Bo, you have no heart."

Yan Beigui's face was cold enough to drip water.

Fu Bo grinned without a care. "Yan Beigui, is this your first day knowing me?"

Fu Bo became "famous."

His "scandalous photos" with Yan Beigui spread all over the industry. His father slapped him and disowned him.

His older brother withdrew the funding for his film, bringing the production to a halt.

At a certain estate: "Boss, should we take down the trending searches?"

A certain boss rolled up his sleeves and snipped grapes from the vines with a pair of scissors, sneering. "Take them down? The bigger this gets, the better."

Before the poor little guy could come begging, the certain boss couldn't hold out any longer himself.

He showed up at his door and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Everyone says we're dating. When are you going to make it official?"

Ever since his debut, Ji Qing, a hugely popular idol from a boy band known as the "Nation's Little Brother," has been offered a major ensemble gay romance film starring the currently famous movie star Lu Dongnan. Ji Qing plays...

After the film was officially announced, the two leads' striking looks and their adorable twelve-year age gap instantly won them a huge number of CP fans.

The individual fans of both stars weren't having it, and started fighting like the world was ending.

#What old man is this? How dare he think he can get with my precious boy and form a CP with him! Is the whole directing team blind? #

#Damn! That washed-up movie star is acting up again! He keeps tying my baby to himself and trending every day. #

#An old man? Your thirty-three-year-old idol is an old man? Hello, how old are you, miss? Did you ever go to school? #

#Today's baffling comment. When our guy was winning awards, yours might still have been wearing diapers. Who's riding whose coattails? #

Later, both groups of individual fans admitted: Okay, we get it now.

Everyone knows that Movie Star Lu hates CP marketing. Every entertainer who has dared to tie themselves to him for a CP has faded into obscurity without exception.

Ji Qing, a 5G-savvy internet surfer, watches Bilibili edits of himself and Movie Star Lu and figures he probably won't be popular for much longer.

Ji Qing starts quietly keeping his distance from the movie star.

The young man who used to cling to him every day after filming to rehearse their scenes together now disappears as soon as filming wraps.

Movie Star Lu's expression gets uglier by the day.

Finally, one day after filming, the Big Bad Wolf, Lu, the scheming movie star, knocks on the door of the innocent little rabbit, Ji Qing.

"Kid, are you avoiding me?"

Ji Qing: "I'm not! I didn't! Teacher Lu, you've got it wrong!"

Movie Star Lu: "Oh. Then let's run through tomorrow's kissing scene."

Ji Qing: "!!!"
