Handsome but unwell x aloof, temperamental, teasing type
Jiang Qingzhuo is a beautiful young actor with three major awards to his name, and a notorious heartbreaker in the entertainment industry. With a face that looks cold and disinterested, he has turned down enough suitors in his eight years in the business to circle Hengdian ten times.
His fans love how serious and professional he is. His haters call him an arrogant snob.
Then one day, the cold beauty is announced as a contestant on a dating show, paired with Xie Jiao, the entertainment industry's notorious playboy, whose reputation is so wrecked there's not even a house left to collapse.
#Hot! Jiang Qingzhuo and Xie Jiao may be falling for each other on a dating show#
#Breaking! Xie Jiao spotted at a hotel late at night with a woman on each arm, suspected of having a threesome with escorts!#
"…"
Fans are devastated. "Damn it! Which show's production team picked this couple? I'm calling the cops and having you arrested!"
The actor's fans set their keyboards on fire, ready to curse Xie Jiao for stealing their cabbage without even keeping himself in line. The pop star's fans sneer and fight back. War is about to break out.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the first episode finally airs.
Their date is at a flower-filled cafe with soothing music. Little pop star Xie Jiao, whose scandal broke just the night before, shows up late and winks at Jiang Qingzhuo with a sleazy grin.
The award-winning actor stands up with his usual cool demeanor, but accidentally kicks the corner of the table and stumbles forward.
The playboy freezes. The fragrance of the beauty in his arms vanishes in a flash.
Jiang Qingzhuo says coolly, "Sorry. I was in a hurry and forgot my contact lenses."
Comments: ... Why is that playboy blushing?
By the third episode, the fans of both Jiang and Xie have gone from being at each other's throats, to looking completely lost, to silently making peace. Every Saturday night, they gather in front of their phones, computers, and tablets to watch the prodigal turn into a golden retriever and the cool beauty tame a flirtatious playboy.
Three months later, the dating show ends, and the other three couples announce their relationships as soon as filming wraps.
Xie Jiao happily waits until 5:20 to tag Jiang Qingzhuo and shower him with public displays of affection, only to freeze when he discovers he's already been blocked.
Not long after, the trending topics explode. News that Jiang Qingzhuo met up late at night with the young heir of a famous conglomerate, behaving intimately, shoots to the top of the list.
The notorious playboy, experiencing heartbreak for the first time, turns green with rage and storms over to the hotel where Jiang Qingzhuo is staying that very night.

"You were using me to make my brother jealous, weren't you?"
In the brightly lit hotel suite, Xie Jiao brushes the sweat-damp hair at his companion's temple aside and forces him to look up, holding a photo from seven years ago beneath his trembling lashes.
"Did you really think I wouldn't recognize you?"
His movements grow more forceful. Jiang Qingzhuo turns deathly pale and grabs the curtains in front of him, hearing Xie Jiao speak each word slowly and distinctly.
"Is it exciting to sleep with your husband's little brother, sister-in-law?"

Xie Jiao is really miserable and deserves it [fear]
Although Xiao betrayed Jiang, he knew Jiang quite well. Maybe Jiang was really a person who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. Although there was no quarrel like before, in fact, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He had complicated feelings about Xie having an affair with him immediately after breaking up with him. He felt guilty, but it was still a little more uncomfortable. Many times they were Saying that Xie is a scumbag, even if Jiang and Xie talk about it, they will still have a stereotype in their minds, not to mention that he is such a vengeful person, and although Xie is usually unconventional and a straight-shooting love brain, he has always been a pampered eldest son and is used to being self-centered. Jiang is very annoyed by this kind of surprise without prior discussion, and feels that it will not succeed 🤔
Is this foreshadowing? I'm so scared. Ww

The young couple can finally fall in love happily 💪
It started to sound sweet, and finally we had a good chat, but I haven't explained the thing that my brother doesn't want. I hope it doesn't cause thunder later 🥺
[Clown] Brother, don't be like this, just coax people well. You originally used people as a tool to compete with your brother. You shouldn't take revenge on others if you don't do something right. This is not an ordinary couple's quarrel. Now you are doing this because people like you. Coax people well. Brother, look at what you have done now. You beat people up when you are angry. You follow them shamelessly. Now you are acting with a former ambiguous partner. Brother, you really do all sorts of things because A Miao likes you [Clown][Clown][Clown] (No harm to the author, come on, teacher)
You really don't think the fire is enough [clown][clown][clown]
Ah, it's a bad idea. To be honest, I don't know what kind of personality my boyfriend is like. If I mess it up directly, it will be ruined.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Xiao Xie, and sometimes I feel sorry for Xiao Jiang T^T
