From childhood onward, Fang Qixia seems never to have been treated normally.

His stepmother's slap leaves a red mark on his face, but his father turns a blind eye, with eyes only for his outstanding younger brother.

His younger siblings order him around as they please, and the servants in the house treat him like he's invisible.

His fiance squeezes every last bit of value out of him, then kicks him to the curb.

He debuts as a singer, only to be mocked mercilessly by others.

He releases a new song and is accused of being jealous and unable to stand seeing his younger brother succeed. He receives a nomination for an award and is accused of throwing his family's weight around and acting like a diva. On his birthday, he receives no well wishes at all, only to be framed with a humiliating photo. The entire internet curses him, and the scandal shoots to the top of the trending charts, branding his private life as disgusting.

The entire entertainment industry treats him as a joke.

Only after a car accident leaves him on the verge of death does Fang Qixia learn that he's nothing but a universally despised cannon-fodder character in a book. No matter how obedient and considerate he is, all he gets in the end is contemptuous looks and abuse.

Fang Qixia is tired.

When he wakes up in the hospital, he feels that nothing matters anymore.

He stops trying to please everyone, and becomes truly free, with no one by his side.

But just then, everything changes. The people who once hurt him all come looking for him, begging for his forgiveness.

His ex is turned away at the door. His father searches half the country to find him. His younger sister sobs until she shakes when she sees him appear on screen.

He switches to acting, but a misleading photo of him kissing someone makes him the actor's mysterious rumored boyfriend. He becomes famous without even showing his face.

On a day off from filming, someone posts a photo of him softly strumming a ukulele on a mountaintop. His gentle, languid voice and beautiful face make the photo an instant hit, earning him countless new fans.

When all his old secrets are made public, he once again becomes the focus of public opinion. This time, though, he becomes the best version of Fang Qixia.

Later, Fang Qixia chooses to leave the entertainment industry at the height of his fame.

Overnight, all the information on his personal account disappears, and the internet erases every trace of him.

No one knows where he is or where he is going. Once again, he leaves without a trace, as if the world had never had him in it.

An insider does reveal that the home of Zhou Jianwei, the rising actor who became the youngest Best Actor in film history and has tens of millions of followers, seems to have gained a beautiful wife.
