[Noble Director x Acting Student]
When Bai Yuan first arrived in Beijing, his family entrusted him to the care of a wealthy family they knew.
That was when his misfortune began. Because he was too beautiful, the young master of the family bullied and ostracized him.
Living under someone else's roof, Bai Yuan couldn't afford to offend the spoiled rich kids of the capital, so he silently endured it.
In Beijing, the one thing that made Bai Yuan happy was meeting a top student on a friend-making app.
The online friend was gentle and doted on him, patiently helping him study, keeping him company late into the night, and showering him with gifts...
Bai Yuan: Want to meet in person?
His online friend suddenly fell silent.
The next day, the young master's older brother, the true heir to the wealthy family, returned from overseas.
**
Ye Siyan, the heir to the wealthy family who had been living overseas, graduated from film directing school. His debut work swept the awards, and now he was returning home to take over the family business.
Before coming home, he discovered that his good-for-nothing younger brother had used his identity to sign up for a friend-making app.
And in his friends list was the pretty kid staying at their house?
Ye Siyan had no choice but to step in and clean up the mess, pretending to be the online friend who was a hardworking top student from a poor family and chatting with Bai Yuan.
At first, Ye Siyan treated it as a farce, just humoring a kid.
He had always been a carefree playboy. Why would he take it seriously?
Until Bai Yuan said he wanted to meet.
**
Bai Yuan thought the heir to the Ye family, who had just returned from overseas, was a carefree young gentleman, lofty and out of reach.
After all, in the week since they'd first met, they'd exchanged fewer than ten words.
Then came the day they met in person after falling in love online.
Bai Yuan was in a sorry state. On a rainy evening, he hid at a bus stop and sent a voice message, his voice trembling with tears: "Could you come see me, just once?"
He waited without hope for the online friend who was supposedly from a poor family.
Instead, a Maybach arrived, and Ye Siyan came through the rain-soaked city just to give him a hug.
Theme: Life is a play, but make-believe love can become real.
