Xiao Yu is a nobody muddling along in show business. After getting lucky and enjoying a brief moment in the spotlight, he gets shoved onto a variety show as a bit player, where he runs into his popular ex-boyfriend, Zhou Anlin, whom he broke up with years ago.
They fell for each other while working on a drama, but their breakup afterward was far from amicable. Awkward and guilty, Xiao Yu tries to keep a low profile on camera and avoids Zhou Anlin off camera, terrified of meeting his ex's gaze for even a second.
He thinks he's already doing a good enough job of blending into the background. He never expects the viewers watching off camera to suddenly ship the pair who keep looking away and barely exchange a word: They worked together and now act like strangers, so they must be for real!!
After finally making it through the variety show's recording, Xiao Yu thinks he can return to his comfortable life as a nobody. But his hardworking company has landed him another big job.
The good news: It's a major production.
The bad news: Zhou Anlin is the male lead.
The good news: Xiao Yu is a minor male supporting character. He can run off as soon as filming wraps!
Xiao Yu is overjoyed, happily riding the coattails of the major production. He doesn't even have his suitcase with him when another bombshell hits:
His minor role is a fan-favorite character trapped in the spiderweb of the story, the male lead's beloved who inspires both hatred and love, and his tragic ending is destined to make him an unforgettable lost love.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Anlin holds the script and says expressionlessly, "Let's talk about the plot."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Does it really have to be in the middle of the night?!
