You're Not Worth Much, Top-Tier Star

[A top-tier star who's a perfect gentleman on the surface but shamelessly flirtatious underneath, and gets jealous easily × A beautiful, tragic voice actor who's sharp-tongued and loves to play hard to get]

Jiang Zaihe is the only person who has ever voiced the actor Song Huaiting in film and television productions, and has voiced him in countless works. Fans in the industry jokingly call him Song Huaiting's "exclusive voice actor," so viewers have always believed the two got along well, or at least admired each other.

That is, until behind-the-scenes footage leaked from a variety show where voice actors and screen actors swapped jobs. "Jiang Zaihe gives Song Huaiting the cold shoulder and throws things at him" immediately became a hot topic.

Song Huaiting had been known since his debut as a refined, cultured gentleman. His fans simply refused to believe he would have provoked Jiang Zaihe. It was obvious Jiang Zaihe was picking a fight. Before long, fans on both sides were at each other's throats, but Song Huaiting posted:

[@Song Huaiting: Teacher Jiang is so shy. He gave me a present and then ran off [wink/]]

The tone of the post left all of Song's fans utterly bewildered. It didn't sound sarcastic so much as oddly... desperate.

When airport footage showed Song Huaiting holding a parasol over Jiang Zaihe, and Song's fans criticized Jiang Zaihe for acting spoiled, Song Huaiting doubled down.

[@Song Huaiting: I was the one who tagged along under Teacher Xiao Jiang's umbrella. It's only right [cute/]]

Fans wondered whether Jiang Zaihe had hacked Song Huaiting's account, since he kept trying to clear his name.

The truth came out: Song Huaiting was probably still hung up on the past.

It was no secret that Song Huaiting had a former flame he still cherished. They were said to have dated in high school, and careful internet sleuths later realized that the person in question seemed to be Jiang Zaihe, the voice actor behind more than half of his works, who was also buried under a mountain of scandals.

Over the years, Jiang Zaihe had been cursed at enough to fill four classic books on the art of online abuse. Gossiping netizens guessed that Jiang Zaihe had dumped Song Huaiting, then couldn't bear to give up his money and good looks, and shamelessly kept voicing his roles despite the risk of being hated.

But the top-tier star proved through his actions that he was the one most desperate to get back together, and the one with the least self-respect.

For a while, gossiping netizens couldn't tell who had dumped whom.

One day, after Song Huaiting posted about dealing with yet another wave of online haters, he turned around and pleaded for credit, all aggrieved: "So, Teacher Jiang, when are you going to accept my offer to make up and go public?"

Jiang Zaihe watched as the posts that had been calling him shameless just moments earlier disappeared from his phone, and didn't even spare the other man a glance. "In the eyes of listeners and viewers, my voice and your face are a perfect match. That's enough. As for all that overwhelming malice, does it matter? Oh, wait, it does. After all, you're the one who caused it. If it gets under your skin and makes you uncomfortable, then I'll be happy~"
