Li Jing'an never imagined that the top student who had always been his archenemy in high school would become an award-winning actor during the five years he spent abroad.
He never imagined, either, that the first variety show he signed on for after returning home would pair him with that very archenemy.
The director gave him two scripts.
One: play brothers with that guy Gu Heng? Ha, absolutely not! Pass!
Two: Keep out of each other's way? That sounds good.
So on the first day of filming, everyone watched the returning top-tier star and the newly crowned award-winning actor go head-to-head the moment they met, and understood.
The production team hadn't invited two big shots. They'd invited two spoiled princes.
The hashtag #LiJingAnGuHuanKeepOutOfEachOthersWay immediately shot to the top of the trending list, drawing countless passersby in to watch the drama.
But as they kept watching, the fans started to sense something was off.
Weren't they supposed to be archenemies? Actor, how do you know so much about the top-tier star's little quirks? Could you be any more attentive when pouring his tea?
Top-tier star, I thought you'd open the actor's cup. How did you end up leaning over and drinking from his hand? Is this really the same star who picks fights with the whole world?
He could be even more attentive, but Gu Huan was afraid Li Jing'an would think he'd poisoned him.
Their rivalry in high school had been completely genuine.
When did things change? Maybe it was the unexpected night after their high school graduation celebration. Or maybe it was earlier, all the way back to the day they first met and got into a vicious fight.
Later, that free-spirited young master shone with dazzling brilliance on a stage beyond his reach, becoming a top-tier star adored by everyone.
So he spent years forcibly twisting the two parallel lines, which should have had nothing more to do with each other after graduation, until they finally crossed.
"We meet again." My young master.
At their reunion, amid the sharp words they traded, only Gu Huan knew the depth of his mad love.
What was supposed to be a relaxing variety show got stranger and stranger as filming went on.

Li Jing'an: I want to know too!
I never would've guessed my archenemy had a crush on me, not in a million years!
So was Gu Huan doing it on purpose that night?
Fine, Gu Huan, you're dead!
Director: Don't kill him, please! Just let me film something we can actually air.
Top-tier star x award-winning actor
Naive, sweet young master x a black-hearted, two-faced scheming wolf
