Sharp-tongued, flirtatious director and screenwriter x equally sharp-tongued, foul-mouthed popular author
Bickering couple / shamelessly flirtatious / sweet romance / fighting is a sign of affection
1.
As the youngest A-list director, Li Yize is handsome, tall, and full of youthful confidence. Every film he directs is a masterpiece.
Li Chu's novels have two extremes: they're either hailed as the best of the best or completely unknown.
The two meet when one of Li Chu's books is adapted for the screen. They can't stand each other, constantly trading barbs and taking shots at everyone. Even if they spot each other on the street, they turn away in unison. Just one more look would be an assault on their eyes.

A reporter visiting the set asks Li Yize, "Director Li, what do you think of this work?"
Li Yize: "If you want to adapt the original and make it a hit, you'd better keep only the leads' names. The plot is garbage, and the logic makes no sense."
That evening, Li Yize added on Weibo: "Sorry, I forced myself to finish the original despite being sleepy. You can't even keep the leads' names. They're awful and have no depth."
Li Chu reposted: "Director Li is openly breaking the law by infringing on the original author's right to protect the integrity of their work."

During filming, the two often trend because of their insults, and netizens jokingly call them "the Li family's sworn enemies."
Both of them make it clear they hate the name.
A reporter asks Li Yize what he plans to do next. He answers lazily, "Change my surname."
Meanwhile, another reporter asks Li Chu the same question. Thinking of the latest trending topic, Li Chu replies, "Take my mother's surname."

Later, Li Yize gets married. His spouse is Li Chu.
His Weibo bio instantly changes to: My wife's novels are the best! (*^▽^*)
*A goofy comedy
Theme: As long as it's fun
