Wen Yuan was born with a face so beautiful it seemed Nuwa had made it just to show off. His eyes and brows were alluring, and he became the first person to trend solely on looks.
He joined an entertainment company's trainee auditions, where some of the other straight contestants harassed him backstage. "I'll turn gay for you, so you're responsible for me."
Wen Yuan knocked the guy flat with one punch, pulled a brick from his bag, and crushed it with his bare hands. "Do you still want me to take responsibility?"
From then on, Wen Yuan's image as a macho, fox-spirit-like homophobe took off.
One day,
rumors spread that Wen Yuan had a secret crush on Wen Zijue, the entertainment industry's overwhelmingly popular, unattainable superstar.
The trainees were afraid Wen Yuan would lose his temper and hurt innocent bystanders, so they hid backstage. There, they saw the perpetually icy, abstinent superstar gently ruffle the hair of the person in front of him, his face full of affection. "You're homophobic, and you hate being linked to me in rumors?"
Wen Yuan's face turned scarlet. His voice was so soft it hardly seemed like his own as he rubbed against the superstar's palm. "I don't like men, but you're the exception."

Before becoming an idol, Wen Yuan was a streamer. His number-one supporter was so rich that he nearly bought the streaming platform just to pursue him.
Wen Yuan: "Stop throwing money around. I have a one-sided love, the superstar Wen Zijue. He'd never like you, so give up!"
To stop his top supporter from pestering him, Wen Yuan came up with new ways to confess his love to Wen Zijue every day, hoping to make the guy back off.
Later,
Wen Zijue's collaborator was exposed in a scandal and left the industry. Wen Yuan took part in the auditions to fill the vacancy and work with him. Before he could enjoy the news, a rival exposed his crush on Wen Zijue. Fans dragged him onto the trending page and demanded he leave the industry and stay away from Wen Zijue.
Then,
an even bigger trending topic shot to the top, rocking the entire entertainment industry.
In the trending video, Wen Yuan was playing a game with his number-one supporter. Behind the supporter's username was Wen Zijue.
Wen Zijue: "What a coincidence. I've had a crush on you for a long time, too."
Wen Yuan: ...Damn, I can't show my face anymore.

Wen Yuan had no connections. When he auditioned to become a trainee at an entertainment company, the company's top-tier star used backstage influence to steal his spot and give it to someone else.
The top-tier star had his eye on the hugely popular music streamer "WY," whose every song became a hit. When WY refused his high-priced offer to buy a song, the star directed his fans to attack WY online.
Fan: "Heaven is fair. WY never shows his face and is so talented, so he must be too ugly to be seen."
Fan: "Our idol is only offering to pay for your song because he thinks you're worth it. If you're too ugly to show your face and sing, you should let someone else sing it."
The very next second, "WY" showed his face and flipped off the screen. "I'd rather let my song rot than sell it to a thief."
Wen Yuan = WY. The anti-fans were dumbfounded: "What the hell, Heaven, come out and explain yourself!"
