1. Qiao Mai is a photography blogger with a notorious nickname among fans of the Chinese entertainment industry: the top-tier star slayer.
Every top-tier star she photographs ends up disgraced, without exception.
After taking down eight top-tier stars in a row, Qiao Mai posted a new photo late one night.
The airport was bustling. A young man in a black baseball cap held his chin slightly up, keeping his distance from the crowd.
As if sensing something, he suddenly looked up, his long, cool eyes fixed on the camera.
The crowd around him faded into nothing. The tall, upright young man became the center of the world, his God-given looks the only beam of light in the dark photograph.
In less than half an hour, "Warning: Shi Yuxi is about to be exposed" shot up the trending charts.
Shi Yuxi had debuted at the top and held the number-one spot on every major chart for six consecutive years. He had never been involved in a dating scandal and had no negative news to his name.
The topic exploded that night, and no one could sleep, afraid Shi Yuxi really would be exposed.
2. Before long, the biggest video platform launched a celebrity livestream dating show.
The entertainment industry was swept up in a frenzy, and fan-favorite tragic pairings and the couples most wanted for a reunion all made the nomination list.
The most absurd nomination was the most troublemaking pairing of all: Shi Yuxi and Qiao Mai.
The anti-fans pushed this pairing to the top of the comments with their own efforts.
Fans wore cold expressions: Shi Yuxi is preparing to start filming, don't bring him into this.
A month later, Shi Yuxi appeared on the livestream dating show.
He held out his hand to the slightly awkward young woman and said in a low voice, "Hello, Qiao Mai."
3. In high school, Qiao Mai had a boy she liked.
Later, the person she liked became an untouchable superstar.
The distance between them was like the speed of light. No matter how hard she chased after him, light would always travel at 300,000 kilometers per second, impossible to overtake.
She had never imagined that one day this light would shine on her.
When Shi Yuxi confessed to her, he looked at her reddened eyes and asked softly, "I'm a superstar now. Could you think about liking me?"
One summer afternoon in high school, Shi Yuxi eavesdropped as the girl he liked chatted with a friend.
Her friend asked, Mai Mai, what kind of boys do you like?
Qiao Mai said, I like people who shine wherever they go, like... celebrities?
Qiao Mai, I'm a superstar now.
Could you like me?
