Yi Jiming is a twenty-seven-year-old actor who has experienced three separate peaks in fame followed by equally steep declines. Known for his exceptional acting skills and malleability, he has earned significant wealth for his agency but struggles to maintain a lasting public persona, often leaving audiences remembering his characters rather than himself. Currently facing a career drought with no work for nearly three months, Yi Jiming adopts a detached, almost indifferent attitude toward the entertainment industry's pressures. His agent, Li Lin, a flamboyant and protective manager, constantly urges him to rebuild his reputation before he is considered too old to compete with younger stars.
The narrative shifts when Yi Jiming accidentally enters the wrong vehicle, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, driven by Huo Lou, the entertainment industry's most dominant superstar. Huo Lou, a second-generation wealthy heir who rose to fame overnight, is revealed to be a former devoted fan of Yi Jiming. Ten years prior, Huo Lou maintained an anonymous alt account under the name "Ji Ming Qie Zhe, Yi Shi Yi Ren," expressing intense admiration for the actor. The accidental encounter leads to a paparazzi chase, during which Huo Lou drives Yi Jiming home. Upon learning Yi Jiming is his former idol, Huo Lou becomes visibly flustered and speeds away.
The situation escalates when Huo Lou's old alt account is dug up and goes viral, placing both men on the trending searches. While Yi Jiming's team fears the exposure could damage his career by associating him with a "simp" image, Huo Lou publicly admits to his past fangirling on his main Weibo account, declaring his devotion to Yi Jiming. This bold move generates massive online buzz, with fans creating memes and shipping the two as a couple. The incident forces the two managers, Li Lin and Ah Luo, to collaborate on damage control, leading to a meeting at Yi Jiming's home where Huo Lou displays nervous, schoolboy-like behavior around his idol.
Despite Yi Jiming's preference for a low-profile life and his dislike of manufactured hype, the accidental publicity forces him back into the spotlight. Huo Lou, determined to reconnect, navigates various social and professional obstacles, including his strict father and a nutritionist enforcing a healthy diet. He attempts to bridge the gap between them by arranging meals and maintaining constant digital communication, often misinterpreting Yi Jiming's polite responses as signs of affection. Meanwhile, it becomes apparent that the leak of Huo Lou's alt account was a calculated attack by rivals aiming to discredit him. Huo Lou decides to use the controversy to his advantage, planning to draw out his enemies while using the proximity to Yi Jiming to further his own goals. The story follows the developing dynamic between the aloof, professional actor and the enthusiastic, wealthy superstar as they navigate their unexpected connection within the high-stakes entertainment industry.
