Lin Ranran, a hugely popular young actress, has always cultivated the image of a career-minded woman who stays single.

Then one day, it comes to light that the profile picture she used on a social media site in college was a matching couple avatar!

The other person has only one blurry, heavily compressed image online, and their identity is a mystery.

During an interview, the host asks Lin Ranran about the matching avatars.

Her carefully crafted facade wavers:

I was blind when I was young. My exes all looked good but were useless.

Behind the screen, Ji Huanci's gaze darkens.

The next day, the industry-recognized golden boy and Ji Corporation CEO Ji Huanci, who never gives interviews, unexpectedly agrees to one.

The host reads from the script:

What's the most memorable thing from your student days?

Ji Huanci: The matching profile pictures I took with my girlfriend went viral for some reason. After that, a lot of people started using them.

The host looks at the refined man before him and finds him more and more reminiscent of recent gossip, so he slyly asks:

If you could say something to your ex right now, what would you say?

Ji Huanci, with pointed meaning: I look good and I'm useful, too.

[My Childhood Nemesis Has Secretly Loved Me for Ten Years]

Zhou Qingyi never imagined that she would work on a documentary with her sworn enemy, Jiang Qingyan.

Back when she briefly stayed at his house, he was still called Jiang Qingyan.

The young man was handsome and carefree, rebellious to the core, and a firm believer in gods and Buddhas. He traveled far and wide just to get a fortune told.

The fortune teller said he lacked water in his destiny, so he changed his name to Jiang Qingyan.

She found this baffling, and couldn't stand the Buddhist beads on his wrist either.

The two of them keep a polite distance on set, as if by unspoken agreement.

-

At a cast dinner, Zhou Qingyi hears that Jiang Qingyan firmly believes in the fortune that prompted him to change his name. Curious, she asks, “Was that fortune about changing your name really accurate?”

Jiang Qingyan's eyes are half-bright, half-dark. “Of course.”

She offers a polite compliment: “Have your achievements as a director also been helped by the name change bringing good luck?”

He swirls the wine in his glass, neither confirming nor denying it. “Back then, I wasn't asking about my career.”

She doesn't understand. “Then what were you asking about?”

A smile plays at the corner of Jiang Qingyan's mouth. “Love.”

He lacked water in his destiny. What he lacked was the water radical in Zhou Qingyi's name.
