Shen Jiu was a cockatiel who died young. Fifteen years after his death, an old immortal brought him back to life as a human and formed him into a boy band to earn offerings for himself.
Shen Jiu refused to be an idol working a 996 schedule. Just as he was about to pack up and run away, he looked up and saw the TV broadcasting the awards ceremony where He Haibin was named a triple-category Best Actor.
Shen Jiu QAQ: That's my little master, all grown up!
To get close to his master, the little parrot took it upon himself to be the group's leader and did his best to help them debut.
But who knew his bandmates would all be animals who had gained human form, and every one of them was a disaster: a sharp-tongued white cat who dared to curse out their investors, a Labrador so depressed he kept running into walls, and a former racehorse who privately messaged fans every day.
Shen Jiu led his bandmates to their debut, and at last got to work with He Haibin. He immediately transformed into the actor's number-one fan, bringing him soup and water every day, asking where he'd lost weight and when he'd slept too little. He was even more diligent than an assistant.
After finally getting the drunk actor home, Shen Jiu was so exhausted that he reverted to his original form. He was about to go plop onto the floor when a pair of large hands caught him and cradled him against the man's chest.
He Haibin laughed with abandon, his eyes completely sober. "Aren't you going to call me Master?"
.
He Haibin lost his mother when he was young. His biological father didn't care for him, and his stepmother was vicious.
In his cold home, only a cockatiel kept him company.
It would gently peck his cup to remind him to drink, rub its fluffy little head against his palm, bring him tissues when he cried, and sing him his mother's lullaby.
But his stepmother cruelly killed this one source of comfort and threw it in the trash.
He Haibin gritted his teeth and clawed his way to the top, making them pay. But when he looked back, he found himself an empty shell, tormented by nightmares day and night.
When he met Shen Jiu, he felt a familiar pang, as though something had struck him in the chest.
When this timid little leader sang a song only he knew, He Haibin's heart was whole again.
His little parrot had come back.
Everyone else sees only my glamorous side. Only you help me escape my nightmares and rediscover the joy of living.
