Please add it to your favorites, mwah~ - Blurb (CP: a lazy, slow-to-catch-on nobody bottom x a cold, handsome, double-standard Best Actor who thinks everyone but the bottom is beneath notice) - Liang Yi is the youngest Best Actor to achieve a grand slam, and has topped the National Diamond Bachelor List for three consecutive years. But people say he’s a cold work machine. He has countless admirers in the industry, yet never gives any of them a second glance. Outside of filming, he supposedly has no personal life at all. “Is the Best Actor really that good at acting? He must have traded his feelings for it.” - Ran Cheng has been washed up for five years. He’s a nobody who gets moved wherever he’s needed, and every day he asks himself three questions: Who am I? Where am I? What should I have for lunch? He watched an awards ceremony on TV, swinging his legs, and casually said to his manager, “That Liang Yi who won? He was my mortal enemy in high school.” His manager scoffed and told him to go make keys. People would ask if he could do it, and how many he could make. - A school reunion variety show put the two of them in front of the audience together. When the cast was announced, everyone naturally imagined a story of “washed-up nobody grovels to the Best Actor,” and the insults and mockery came pouring in. The comments flooded the screen: “Can’t wait for the fake publicity stunt,” “Can’t wait for him to cling to a big name,” “Keep this scandal-ridden nobody away from Liang Yi.” Ran Cheng: Great! Off on a trip! - It wasn’t until the show aired that viewers began to wonder if this little nobody was a bit odd. While everyone else scrambled to suck up to Liang Yi, he asked when they were wrapping for the day. While everyone else fought tooth and nail for screen time, he spent the whole day fishing by himself, leaving the cameraman squatting until his legs went numb. Everyone else worked diligently to beg the Best Actor for connections. This guy alone casually said, “Teacher Liang, you still owe me a beating from the day we graduated high school.” The director, the guests, his manager watching at home, and the viewers all mourned in unison, convinced this was the day the little nobody’s screen career came to an end. They watched as the Best Actor rolled up his sleeves... And straightened Ran Cheng’s rumpled collar. “You misunderstood. I was trying to confess to you that day, not insult you.” “...” #Shocking! Yi Cheng Bu Ran Is Real# Later, at his comeback concert, Ran Cheng leaned down toward someone in the front row in front of tens of thousands of fans and asked, “Teacher Liang Yi, does what you said in high school still count?” Beneath the glittering stage lights, a small patch of pale collarbone was especially alluring. ※ The protagonists are not perfect.

Xia Zhi: (sweating soybean). - Xia Zhi is a sunny, handsome film academy student, and also a part-time streamer who tells stories on a children’s livestream channel. One day, he noticed a lavish “number one fan” drop into his peaceful livestream, showering him with money and gifts without blinking. Xia Zhi stared at the storybook in his hands, "The Little Duckling Looks for His Mama", and fell silent. After he accepted the request to connect, a cool yet childish little face appeared on screen. The “big spender” said “Hello” in a babyish voice. Xia Zhi told this “big spender,” who clearly had stolen a parent’s card, to hand the phone to an adult. After a long pause, the camera turned toward a handsome man who looked half asleep. The man squinted at the screen and mumbled groggily, “Damn, my scumbag ex.” “...” The parents watching the livestream and Xia Zhi both recognized the wildly popular top-tier star, Bai Yue. Bai Yue was blessed by the heavens: tall, long-legged, and handsome, with a career that had taken off from the moment he debuted and an exceptionally prominent family background. But he was short-tempered and difficult to get along with. His only weakness was his introverted young nephew, left in his care by his late sister. - The next day, Bai Yue’s assistant found Xia Zhi and said that Bai Yue’s nephew liked him very much. They invited him to join a parenting variety show, and insisted he clarify that Bai Yue had simply misspoken during the livestream. Xia Yi: “Sorry, a good ex should be as if he were dead.” The assistant came prepared and pulled out a limited-edition signed album by the famous international director Bai Qingya. Xia Zhi fell silent for a moment. “Actually, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to come back to life once in a while.” He could also clear up the serious misunderstanding his ex had about him, one that was doing real damage to his reputation. - Before the livestream, Bai Yue said coldly, “I’m only doing this for my nephew. Don’t push your luck.” During the livestream, everyone stared in shock as Bai Yue, all bark and no bite, did everything Xia Zhi said. And there was a child following behind them, too. After the livestream, Xia Zhi said, “...Bai Yue, don’t block the door. I’m just going to the supermarket.” 1. No characters are based on real people. This old-fashioned author doesn’t follow celebrities. 2. The child is his nephew. 3. The main focus is the romance between the protagonists. 4. The misunderstanding isn’t completely cleared up, but they end up with a happy ending. Theme: Hard work makes for a better life.
