Gentle, fatherly genius actor seme x sharp-tongued genius singer uke
Shi Yu became a nationwide sensation at eighteen with a single song, then disappeared from the spotlight for three years. At twenty-one, he finally released a second single.
That very night, Shi Yu shot back up the trending charts: #Awful#
He had made a fool of himself in the music world, but his fame throughout the entertainment industry had steadily risen. Thanks to his stunning, androgynous looks, offers for web dramas and TV series came one after another.
Shi Yu was so devastated he could have spat up three liters of blood, but only an idiot turns down a chance to make money.
He packed his things and joined the cast!

His new project was a male-led drama. The lead was Huo Minglu, a newly crowned Best Actor who had debuted through a talent competition and was the same age as Shi Yu.
Huo Minglu had a powerful background and a cool personality. Shi Yu’s manager warned him again and again to keep his foul mouth in check and not shoot his way into a fight with the award-winning actor.
Shi Yu was very obedient. He conscientiously played a minor sweetheart role until...
The production suddenly added a scene where Shi Yu had to dance alone beneath the moon and sing.
Shi Yu shook his head like a rattle drum, horrified. “I can sing, but I can’t dance!”
Huo Minglu, who had been pretending to doze nearby, suddenly looked up and said with certainty, “You can.”
In his distress, Shi Yu forgot his manager’s warning and yelled, “Are you fucking psychic? Just because you say I can, that means I can?! There isn’t even a dance teacher. Are you planning to teach me yourself, or do you expect me to go up there and perform an exorcism?!”
Shi Yu revealed his true nature for the first time on set, earning horrified looks from everyone.
Only Huo Minglu raised an eyebrow and smiled at him meaningfully.
“Sure. I’ll teach you, Teacher Shi.”
Shi Yu, whose scalp prickled at that smile: ...Does nobody realize there’s a corpse on this set...?

Ever since Huo Minglu was eighteen, he had been a huge fan of a young singer.
The young singer sang beautifully, and even his insults sounded wonderful.
...That singer was so cute.
Thesis: Pursue your dreams.
