Lin Guiyuan, the entertainment industry's top-tier star and its youngest-ever nominee for the Golden Rose Award for Best Actor, became the target of public outrage overnight, his reputation in ruins.
His A-list opportunities dwindled to the bottom of the industry. After the scandal broke, everything he dreaded began happening one after another.
At his lowest point, he appeared on the variety show he least wanted to join and ran into the ex he least wanted to see.
Jiang Minshen returned from studying abroad, poised to inherit his father's business, brimming with confidence and no trace of his former dejection.
He held out his hand to Lin Guiyuan, his gaze gentle, nothing like the obsession in his eyes years ago.
That summer when he was nineteen, Lin Guiyuan first met Jiang Minshen. He was crouched alone beside a wall covered in ivy, eyes bloodshot, withdrawn and willful.
At twenty, with a bright future ahead of him, Jiang Minshen cornered him backstage after a performance and kissed him. The brooding young man looked at him with devout eyes and called him "senior" one word at a time.
Now, at twenty-five, Lin Guiyuan was trapped in a desperate situation and covered in mud. The person he had loved so deeply in his youth reappeared before him, staying by his side through the hardest days.
"Xiao Jiang keeps calling Lin Guiyuan 'senior.' Did they know each other before? How long has it been since they last met?"
Lin Guiyuan: "More than two years."
Jiang Minshen: "One thousand and seventy-one days."
That night, the interview quietly made the trending list.
Rumors said Jiang Minshen had been violent and unruly in his youth, and had clashed with Lin Guiyuan. Fans assumed they were only pretending to get along for work, secretly at odds. Then one day, they suddenly noticed the two had matching pinky rings.

Eight years ago, Jiang Minshen met Lin Guiyuan and fell for him at first sight.
On a yellowed page, he had written: I love him shining so brightly.
Eight years later, Jiang Minshen smiled and added with his pen: I love him covered in mud, too.
His handwriting was bold and carefree, just like the reckless young man he had been when they first met.
A sweet romance with no real-life inspirations.
A scheming, black-hearted top who will use every trick to get what he wants x a cool-looking, sharp-tongued, drama-obsessed bottom with a rich inner life.
Theme: I love you shining so brightly, and I love you covered in mud.
Before reading the article, I want to express my feelings, okay? Author: "Yes" I would like to ask the author, Jiang Minshen, to stand behind me, please? "Lin Guiyuan, I am V God tonight, but at this moment on Jinjiang (kneeling down on one knee) you are my God."
Teacher, where are you busy recently? Can you fill in the gaps? Have you encountered any problems in real life? I miss you. Can you come back?
Didn't you say you won't give up?
!!!! After waiting for a long time, it's finally updated.
Please don't abandon the article
Wow wow wow, I really like your article. You should take good care of yourself (≧?≦)/
Are you still there? You won't seal the pen anymore, right?
Updates are too slow. Fatten up
You won't update a chapter every ten days, right? Updates are slow. I wish you will become cannon fodder through the book and meet a gay man (if you have the ability to hit me through the screen. Jpg)
Hehehe updated. Sweet articles are still good to read (a little bit sadistic), but I just read a sadistic article, which is a bit bloody. It takes a lifetime to heal. I would rather attack and suffer in love and kill each other. I also don't like Gong and Shou being together and taking care of their little lover (sorry for the twist)
