Luo Ling had been sworn enemies with Xiang Bian'an, the boy next door, ever since they were born.
They competed over who was born first, who was weaned first, and who ate faster. Later, they competed in sports, grades, and extracurricular classes. They kept pushing each other until they entered the entertainment industry, where they became two top-tier stars, still competing all the while.
Luo Ling made a cameo and won Best Supporting Actress, so Xiang Bian'an frantically took supporting male roles, determined not to miss out on a single award.
They were both too proud to back down, and even when they couldn't keep competing, they still talked big, threatening to outdo each other even if it killed them.
Both their fanbases were used to their idols' "flirting through bickering," so they linked arms and laughed together.
After all, they were childhood friends. If one of them got into trouble, the other would immediately step in. Once the problem was settled, they'd go right back to getting on each other's nerves, stubbornly and awkwardly.
After being forced to join a dating reality show, Luo Ling started repeatedly dreaming that she and Xiang Bian'an were dating! They were inseparable, all lovey-dovey, until she jolted awake.
She clutched her head in shock. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Xiang Bian'an had realized a long time ago that he always wanted to outdo her because he wanted her to focus only on him. But she was so outstanding that he had no choice but to become even more outstanding. Since neither of them could stand losing or admit how they felt, they started competing.
After joining the dating show, he repeatedly dreamed about married life with her. Thinking about those scenes from his dreams, he finally realized that being too stubborn could keep you from enjoying what was right under your nose.
In the end, he not only dreamed about her, but somehow they even began sharing each other's senses. After experiencing the misery of being too proud to back down, they bickered and stumbled their way into a relationship.
After a passionate night, he asked, "How does it feel to be with me?"
She gave a soft snort, still too stubborn to admit it. "Absolutely awful."
"Is that so?" He wasn't offended. "Because I feel twice as happy."
