Forced Love

Cheng Yun, 32 years old: A calm and low-key handsome man, an award-winning art film actor. Praised for his acting skills but niche and not widely popular. Shen Zhuoyan, 26 years old: Breathtakingly beautiful + weak acting + low EQ, a controversial top idol. Cheng Yun once guest-starred in a drama featuring Shen Zhuoyan and was shocked by his terrible acting. Their styles clashed, and they otherwise had no interaction. Until one day, a fan editor wanted to make a mocking video about the "wooden-faced idol," only to be stunned—despite Shen Zhuoyan’s dead-fish eyes throughout the entire drama, his gaze was full of longing whenever he looked at Cheng Yun’s guest villain role. Editor: "?????" The fan-made video opened the door to a new world. "WTF..." "Is this attraction?! This has to be attraction?! The ML is totally smitten with the villain, right???" "How does Shen Zhuoyan manage to be icy toward everyone yet so tender toward the boss???" "So Shen Zhuoyan *can* act??? (Even if he’s acting for the wrong role.)" "How have we never noticed how well they match before?!" "Wait, they were playing *father and son* here??? With *this* level of fiery eye contact???" *** Cheng Yun never imagined that, after winning multiple awards to zero fanfare, he’d finally go viral—for being shipped in fan edits. Fans: "We beg for a real collab, give the people what they want!" Cheng Yun: But have they even had a "first collab" to begin with? Meanwhile, the aloof, sharp-looking-but-awkwardly-clumsy top idol Shen Zhuoyan is seriously pondering one question: Has the secret crush he worked so hard to hide really been *this* obvious all along? The composed, handsome art-film emperor (bottom) × top-tier idol airhead beauty (top)=w= Short and sweet. No deep plot. Do not associate with real people~
