[A sharp-tongued tsundere bottom vs. a scheming, calculating top]
Last winter, the wuxia drama Capital's Famous Constables, starring Xia Ningran and Tang Jingming as its two male leads, became a huge hit.
Their CP fandom, “Jingran Is Real,” became active on all the major rankings, making a huge contribution to Xia Ningran and Tang Jingming's stats.
At the beginning of spring, the celebrity dating variety show Let's Fall in Love This Spring sent the two of them invitations.
Xia Ningran turned down the invitation: Who the hell wants to go on a dating show with him!
His agent got furious: You'd better behave yourself! You're still in your promotional period and already trying to break up the CP? Don't you want to turn the CP fans into solo fans?
Tang Jingming accepted the invitation: My career is just getting started, and I still need the CP fans' support. I have to join this dating show.
His agent was pleased: My people know how to behave.
And so Xia Ningran and Tang Jingming dragged their suitcases into the dating villa together and began a three-month romance.

To win the CP fans' affection and prepare to convert them into solo fans in the future, Xia Ningran did his best to play the perfect boyfriend and follow the script to the letter.
Xia Ningran: When it comes to acting, I'm a professional!
However, Xia Ningran hadn't expected Tang Jingming to be even more “calculating” than he was. He went all out with every little romantic detail and was always one step ahead in every romantic moment.
Xia Ningran: Damn it! I can't out-act this guy Tang Jingming!
It wasn't until one night, when Tang Jingming covered the camera in their room and pinned him to the bed, that Xia Ningran finally realized: Holy crap, Tang Jingming, you're actually serious!
After the dating show ended, the CP fans went wild: Ahhh! Jingran is real!
