Ye Qingyuan and Lin Hezhi debuted in the same year. Their styles, looks, and career paths kept overlapping until they naturally became rivals.
A year ago, both wanted to change their image, and they fought tooth and nail over the male lead in a movie. Their companies fabricated and embellished dirt on each other without the slightest restraint, from rumors that Ye Qingyuan had a secret child to claims that Lin Hezhi had cheated with both a man and a woman. The scandal flooded the internet.
In the end, neither of them got the leading role. Instead, a rookie who had just debuted snatched it up.
Their careers plummeted, and they became sworn enemies, focusing on smearing each other for the next hundred years. They were one step away from taking their fight offline.
A year later, X TV invited both of them to be regular guests on the same variety show just to drum up attention.
Ye Qingyuan started sharpening his knives, ready to take his revenge.

According to gossip, that bastard was afraid of gay people. With a wicked idea in mind, Ye Qingyuan decided to make him squirm on the show.
On the show:
When Lin Hezhi ate, Ye Qingyuan helped serve him food.
When Lin Hezhi worked, Ye Qingyuan helped wipe away his sweat.
When Lin Hezhi showered, Ye Qingyuan knocked on the door to bring him soap.
When Lin Hezhi slept, Ye Qingyuan got up in the middle of the night to tuck him in, then slipped under the covers too.
The livestream chat exploded:
[Has Ye Qingyuan gone crazy trying to get famous?]
[That's not how you promote a ship. What did Lin Hezhi do to deserve being hounded until he looks ready to cut someone with his eyes?]
[Come on, Ye Qingyuan, stand up for yourself! If you're going to push a ship, pick someone who's willing. Lin Hezhi's deadpan face is impossible to ship with anyone.]
[Got to hand it to him, Ye Qingyuan managed to force this ship into existence. It's even number one on the fan forum rankings.]
[Isn't this just enemies-to-lovers? Tell me, isn't it delicious?]
After reading the comments, Ye Qingyuan addressed the camera:
I'm not promoting a ship. You have no idea how much Lin Hezhi loves me.
He won't eat the food I serve him? Then I must have picked something he doesn't like. If I keep trying, he'll love me even more.
He kicked me out of bed? He was just embarrassed. You have no idea how hot his body was under those covers.
Anyway, we're not a promotional ship. We're true love.
Lin Hezhi decided he had to have a serious talk with Ye Qingyuan, so he stopped him in the hallway.
The next second, Ye Qingyuan leaned against the wall, looking coy. “If you want to pin me against the wall, just do it. I won't resist.”
Lin Hezhi's hair stood on end, and he fled in a panic.
One day, a comment floated across the livestream:
[Anyone else think Ye Qingyuan has lovesick delusions?]
The viewers searched for the meaning of lovesick delusions. When they came back, they all agreed that Ye Qingyuan's belief that Lin Hezhi was in love with him was exactly that.
With his lovesick delusions, Ye Qingyuan got even bolder, coming up with one little trick after another. Lin Hezhi went from fleeing in a panic, to accepting it with a cold face, to getting jealous just because Ye Qingyuan poured someone else a glass of water.

Lin Hezhi knew he'd fallen for him. The second time he saw Ye Qingyuan making breakfast for someone else, he couldn't hold back anymore. He cornered him in the storage room and kissed him fiercely.
He didn't get to kiss those soft lips. The next moment, he was on the floor after being thrown over Ye Qingyuan's shoulder.
Ye Qingyuan crouched down, patted Lin Hezhi's face, and grinned smugly. “Sorry. My lovesick delusions are cured.”

Much later.
Ye Qingyuan was tied to Lin Hezhi's bed with his hands bound behind his back. He struggled and cursed at Lin Hezhi. “You animal! You pervert!”
Lin Hezhi grabbed his kicking foot and gently rubbed his fingers over Ye Qingyuan's ankle. “Teacher Ye, I think I've got lovesick delusions now too. You infected me, so shouldn't you take responsibility?”
