Tang Fei, a pretty, obscure nobody from the bottom ranks of show business, marries Jin Bingheng, a top-tier star and award-winning actor from a wealthy family, in a contract marriage to pay off his debts.
On their wedding night, Jin Bingheng coldly lays down three rules: no falling in love, pay off the debt, and divorce when the contract expires.
Tang Fei grits his teeth and swears: He will never bend to capital!
The next day, the actor hands him a contract for an S+ boy group survival show. "Making you famous is part of the deal, too."
Tang Fei immediately signs: He just loves performing! (In his head: He's definitely not giving in to capital!)
After the show is announced, the whole internet mocks Tang Fei. He's called a pretty face with no talent, a has-been reheating old material, a mess in his private life, and someone who's been blacklisted. He's surrounded by scandals and haters.
At first, the online comments are full of abuse: "A scandal-ridden nobody thinks he can make a comeback? Can't wait to watch him get eliminated in the first round!"
But after the show airs, Tang Fei earns the first A on the opening stage, and his outstanding dancing wins unanimous praise.
Netizens: "That waist, those legs, that face! Mommy loves you! (drooling.jpg)"
Tang Fei's popularity skyrockets, and the show's producers arrange for him to be paired up with someone for publicity. But just as rumors begin to spread, Jin Bingheng publicly ruins their plans.
When Tang Fei interacts with a fellow contestant, the actor appears out of nowhere as a mentor to give him personal guidance.
When a senior takes Tang Fei under his wing, the actor turns into a peacock showing off, childishly competing for his attention.
Tang Fei breaks down: "What happened to the aloof award-winning actor? This persona fell apart faster than the show's scripted drama!"
Then Tang Fei discovers a faded portrait in the actor's study. The woman in it looks so much like him, in both appearance and bearing, that he finally comes to his senses.
Tang Fei sneers: "So I'm just a replacement for your white moonlight."
He signs the divorce papers without hesitation and turns to accept a candlelit dinner with a suitor. But late that night, Jin Bingheng corners him in the hallway and kisses him with domineering force. Tang Fei's eyes turn red from the kiss.
"When you were eight and stubbornly insisted on sleeping in my bed with me, why didn't you say you were a replacement?"
Tang Fei is stunned. "Wait, sleep with... with who?"
