The Beautifully Unhinged Shou: Fang Yi
The Sunny-Seeming, Depressed Madman Gong: Cheng Yi
In the era of short-video platforms, Fang Yi, a little-known entertainer, unexpectedly went viral. His company bundled him up and sent him to a dating reality show, calling it a stepping stone to fame and promising that the traffic would come rolling in!
And so Fang Yi was sent to the dating-show house as a guest in a daze, beginning his daily routine of watching and being watched.

At the house's first meeting, during introductions:
Female guest: I work in Chinese language education. What about you?
Fang Yi: Modeling is my side job. Getting laughs is my real profession.
The observers in the studio:
Observer No. 1: He's pretty funny. He smoothly breaks the ice when everyone's still unfamiliar with one another.
Observer No. 2: Fang Yi has this puppy-like vibe that's really endearing.
Cheng Yi, who'd been silent the whole time: All smiles, no seriousness.
On the dating show, everyone else hoped to be chosen by a female guest. Fang Yi clasped his hands together and prayed every time: "Please don't pick me. I want to sleep in."
After five days and four nights of filming, the show aired its finale. To everyone's surprise, Fang Yi gained a huge following thanks to his extraordinarily beautiful, unhinged state of mind.
From then on, he joined the ranks of popular young stars, walked the red carpet with established celebrities, and partnered with breakout actor Cheng Yi. Somehow, the two of them kept crossing paths more and more, in ways that seemed increasingly abnormal.

At a later movie press conference, Cheng Yi, who never kept up with online trends, said something shocking and went straight for the jugular, blurting out a string of embarrassing old stories.
Every single one came from short videos so old that even some fans didn't know about them.
As the person involved, Fang Yi silently admitted to the humiliating incidents, mentally jotting them down in his little notebook so he could settle the score in private afterward.
Fang Yi: Why are you saving all these videos?! (silent scream)
"Reader's Guide"
1. Some of the plot is just internet-fueled madness, and the logic isn't meant to be scrutinized. Just enjoy the ride.
2. I'm not part of the entertainment fandom, so if anything clashes with reality, please consider it author-created lore. Thanks for understanding.
3. I'm trying out a tragic, beautiful, and formidable character type. It may not work out perfectly, so if that's not your thing, please don't read~
Premise: Love life
