At the annual Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, just twenty-two-year-old Jiao Shuoyuan won Best Actor for a literary film. The unfamiliar name immediately sparked widespread debate, and that very night, news about him shot to the top of Weibo's trending topics.

As the discussion grew, curious onlookers dug into his past. Those who had questioned the result and refused to accept it discovered that this recent college graduate was actually an obscure child actor with eighteen years of acting experience!

Public opinion on Weibo quickly turned around. Onlookers flocked to follow this talented actor, who rarely courted publicity or promoted himself. In just one week, Jiao Shuoyuan's Weibo followers increased more than fivefold.

After acting in obscurity for eighteen years, Jiao Shuoyuan finally became an overnight sensation.

Then, two months later, two images posted by a small Weibo account quietly climbed the trending list. The caption read: [J-surname male actor, newly famous, gets drunk and fights at night]

The images were pitch-black, but two figures standing very close together could just barely be made out. One was pinned firmly against the outside wall of a building. The person who posted the images helpfully added an arrow pointing to the person outside, labeling him with a high-resolution headshot of Jiao Shuoyuan.

Five minutes later, Jiao Shuoyuan immediately posted a clarification on Weibo.

@JiaoShuoyuan_sy: We weren't fighting. We were kissing.

He also tagged another Weibo user at the end of the post.

Within seconds, two hashtags shot straight to the top, both marked as explosive.

Everyone clicked in and was instantly stunned:

What? It was the younger brother of the female lead in the movie that won Jiao Shuoyuan the Best Actor award: Chi Xuan, the legendary actress who's one of the most talked-about figures in the entertainment industry!

Then the user tagged by Jiao Shuoyuan posted a new Weibo of their own.

@Cc_Colin: I can confirm. They really were kissing.

In an instant, Weibo crashed.

A slow-burn, easygoing top who spends half his life acting and half studying x a frivolous rich second-generation bottom who loves misusing idioms.

One-on-one, happy ending, a silly and sweet story you can read without thinking too hard.

Theme: Love at first sight and love that grows over time.
