At twenty-five, Jiang Lin is a washed-up idol in the prime of his life. After turning his fellow disciple into a top-tier star, one day he's thrown under the bus by that very star, who smears him with rumors that he's secretly in love with the movie emperor Lu Yu and wants to use him for publicity.
As if things couldn't get any worse, that same day, his boyfriend of one year, whom he'd met online, breaks up with him.
Jiang Lin: "Aha, life really is one fall after another..."
The hugely popular movie emperor Lu Yu is aloof and proud, a man of few words whose imposing aura keeps people at a distance. That world-weary look as he ties his tie in front of a mirror in a film has driven his fans wild.
But in real life, he's more like: "I don't go where there are crowds," "Stop freaking staring at me," and "Who hired this new production assistant? They're suffocating." To hell with that world-weary look. He's just socially anxious.
Socially anxious Lu Yu finally manages to start dating someone, only it's an online relationship where neither of them knows who the other is. Then his partner suggests meeting in person, and he panics and breaks up with him.
When faced with the washed-up idol's attempt to use him for publicity, movie emperor Lu Yu doesn't want to get involved at all, until one day he realizes that the person on the other end... might be his online boyfriend.
@Lu Yu: "There's no publicity stunt. We're all friends."
Jiang Lin, who never imagined things would take this turn, pauses for a moment, then politely and distantly replies in a private message: "Thank you, Teacher Lu. I'll handle this. We won't be in touch again."
A few seconds later, Jiang Lin gets a reply: "We have to stay in touch. The company has a KPI for helping others."
Jiang Lin: "...Aha?"
Later, Jiang Lin joins a variety show, and Lu Yu joins too. Number of guests: sixteen.
Lu Yu, who's about to lose his mind, won't eat at the same table as anyone, won't share a room with anyone, and answers everyone with just one word: "Mm," "Sure," or "Oh"...
Netizens: "So he really is cold and aloof!"
But later, they spot him riding behind Jiang Lin on a jet ski, one hand around Jiang Lin's waist, his handsome face wearing a strangely lovestruck grin.
He even leans close to Jiang Lin's ear and quietly asks, "I'm afraid I'll fall off. Can I hold you tighter?"
Netizens: "??????"
