Film star Jian Ningyi transmigrates into a novel written by an anti-fan, becoming a useless, short-lived cannon fodder who constantly opposes the protagonist. After transmigrating, when filming begins, Jian Ningyi realizes that the actor playing his beloved mentor is Qi Yu—the box-office superstar who was his unrequited love in the original story. The whole world knows Jian Ningyi is madly in love with Qi Yu, relentlessly pursuing him despite Qi Yu’s disgusted avoidance. Having died from overwork in his past life, Jian Ningyi now sees through worldly desires and only wants to focus on his health. But Qi Yu doesn’t believe it. Faced with Qi Yu’s suspicious glare, Jian Ningyi remains indifferent, sipping red date tea from his thermos, bundled in hats, thermal leggings, and a thick coat, never staying a second past work hours. Witnessing Jian Ningyi’s unusual behavior, Qi Yu—like everyone else—assumes he must be playing hard to get. Sure enough, during filming, Jian Ningyi clutches Qi Yu’s sleeve, sobbing uncontrollably, pleading with tearful eyes for him not to leave. Qi Yu coldly shakes him off and walks away without looking back. Everyone believes Jian Ningyi, whose acting was previously deemed terrible, must love Qi Yu deeply to cry so convincingly—moving even the hardest hearts. Even Qi Yu feels a pang of guilt and considers softening his attitude. But as soon as the cameras stop rolling, Jian Ningyi dries his tears in an instant, toasts his own brilliant acting skills with a sip from his thermos, and walks off. Qi Yu, holding out tissues to comfort him: ? *** Qi Yu before filming: *"You’ll do anything to get my attention, won’t you?"* Qi Yu after filming: *"Man, why did your heart change so fast?"* Fans, mimicking their idol: At first—Qi Yu’s fans: *"Toxic leech! Stay away from our brother! No more fake publicity!"* Later—Qi Yu’s fans: *"Useless Qi Yu, can’t you stop staring at him?! He loves him so much! Jian Ningyi, PLEASE look at Qi Yu just once!"*
