The Years My Dad Was a Heartthrob

Fei Zaiyi comes from a privileged family. Her grandfather is a leading figure in China’s electronics industry, while her mother graduated from an Ivy League school and has an exceptional business mind. She is widely considered the perfect heir in the industry.

As the only younger generation in the family, Fei Zaiyi is adored by everyone.

The only thing people gossip about is that her mother raised her on her own.

By chance, Fei Zaiyi discovers who her father is.

Hang Che was a hugely popular singer in the 1990s. At the height of his fame, he left the entertainment industry after getting caught up in a romance scandal, leaving his many fans heartbroken.

Many years later, in the age of online traffic, a new generation of internet users digs up the story.

The top-tier star who once left the industry for love never revealed a word about his rumored girlfriend, taking all the blame himself, and died young.

Later generations call Hang Che “the male entertainer whose early death is the greatest tragedy.” He also has another title:

“The last impossibly handsome man of the twenty-first century.”

Back in 2004, Fei Zaiyi decides to meet the “handsome legend” her fellow netizens call her dad.
