Jing Yu, a little-known actress, is forced by her manager to join a dating show, where her partner is Ling Zheng.
The other couples hit it off at first sight and get along swimmingly, soon cooking together and showing off their affection on camera.
But when Ling Zheng and Jing Yu accidentally touch hands while cooking, they both go stiff for ages, looking awkward.
Viewers: It's obvious they don't know each other.
Their fame is on completely different levels. They probably have nothing to talk about.
Until one day, Jing Yu's stomach condition flares up. She lies in bed, breaking into a cold sweat. On camera, Ling Zheng carries a freshly brewed bowl of Chinese medicine upstairs and feeds it to her spoonful by spoonful, scolding her like an old married couple. "I told you ages ago, you can't handle spicy food."
Viewers: Woohoo!
After that night, Ling Zheng, the longtime bachelor, the entertainment industry's scandal-free star, the cold and restrained type, seems to unlock a whole new personality. He follows Jing Yu around every day, nagging her.
"You're allergic to eggs."
"Don't restrict your diet so much. At the very least, you need to eat breakfast."
"Let's go for a run tonight. Your immune system is too weak."
In high definition, Ling Zheng rolls up the sleeves of his six-figure shirt and crouches in the bathroom, hand-washing Jing Yu's jeans.
Viewers: Kill me so I can give this couple a little extra excitement.
Ever since Ling Zheng debuted, he has been labeled as restrained, professional, driven, cold, and proper.
No one could have imagined that, back when he was at the height of his fame, he had wanted to go public with his relationship and even marry her. But she left without a word and went abroad, gone for five years.
Five years later, she and he joined a dating show together.
Note: One-on-one romance, first loves, both inexperienced.
Theme: Partners should be honest with each other.
