Xue Li is the heiress to a wealthy family, a rare swan-like beauty with snow-white skin and an elegant, slender neck. A video of her performing water ballet alongside dolphins goes viral. In it, her face looks refined and world-weary, her gaze cool and aloof, like a mountain snow lotus that no one could ever bend. Her graceful movements and flawless technique earn her the media's pick as ballet's rising star, with limitless prospects.
But at the height of her fame, Xue Li suddenly announces that she's quitting ballet to compete in a girl group survival show.
Everyone thinks she's throwing away her future, desperate for fame, and that a girl who can only dance ballet has no business trying to make it in a girl group. Then, on the day Xue Li fights her way through the competition and claims the center position...
At the debut group's finale, the host asks eagerly, "Did you give up ballet to join the girl group because you wanted to chase your dream?"
Xue Li's expression is languid. "No."
"My ex liked a video of a girl who didn't make it into the group."
"I'm taking first place just to make him mad."

Luo Beizhi is a top-tier star and an acclaimed actor, with striking features and a bewitching, dangerous charm. A tiny cinnabar-red mole at the end of his eyebrow captivates the heart. A classic scene from his debut year, in which a white-haired demon in a bloodstained robe kisses a lychee beneath a cliff with tears in his eyes, became the unattainable ideal of countless fans.
Yet at the peak of his fame, the actor stepped behind the scenes and became a film producer.
A gossip account claims Luo Beizhi once had a secret lover. The young woman got jealous, so he personally quit the industry to soothe her.
What's more, while they were dating, Luo Beizhi bought her a private jet solely to transport fresh lychees. He gave her anything she asked for, holding her in his hands and cherishing her in his heart.
The two recently broke up, and their chances of getting back together are supposedly zero. Actor Luo has gone to mentor a girl group survival show, planning to make his comeback.
Fans: Stop spreading rumors! Our brother has had a heart of stone and no scandals to this day. He wouldn't even look twice at a goddess!
Later, at the survival show's backstage area, reporters catch Luo Beizhi peeling a lychee for a girl and feeding her a piece, then coaxing her.
His voice is low and amused, his patience and tenderness unlike anything anyone has seen before.
"Still mad? I told you it was an accidental like. I don't even know her."
"Come on, sweetheart, give me some attention."
"If you won't get back together with me, I'll kiss you, hmm?"
In an interview, Luo Beizhi once revealed what he wanted in a partner:
Sweet, sweeter than lychees.
Clingy, spoiled, and fond of sticking close to him.
Neither quality fits the Xue Li everyone else sees.
Only Luo Beizhi knows how she clings to him when they're alone, making him addicted and unable to control himself.
On the day they make their relationship public, the trending topics recount their seven-year romance. Just as netizens had assumed, from falling in love to loving each other deeply, their relationship lasted only seven years.
In truth, when Xue Li was ten, her family moved into a new home.
The first time Luo Beizhi saw her dancing beneath the trees in a white ballet dress, he wanted to hide her away and make her his own little sweet lychee.
A cool on the outside, warmhearted, clingy little troublemaker x a devoted, secretly calculating actor who left the industry
Proud and aloof x loyal to a fault
