Legend has it, Mei Zihan’s fandom has tiers: watch one of his dramas, and you’re a casual fan; ten, a true fan; every single one? Hardcore to the bone. But on the road to fandom ascension, the most common shift isn’t from casual to true fan—it’s from fan to hater. Mei Zihan is a third-rate actor, stuck starring in cheesy rural melodramas and over-the-top war flicks—the kind where he kills three foreign soldiers during wartime with an earpick. All he wanted was a boyfriend to laze around with, but his lover dropped a stack of certificates: “I’ll teach you how to act!” Next thing he knew—boom! Fame. ╮(‵▽′)╭
