Wen Chi is roped into a dating reality show and randomly paired with none other than the debut-legend-turned-Best-Actor, Jiang Siheng.
His manager is thrilled, Wen Chi is not. He collapses onto the sofa with a deadpan: "How wonderful." A few seconds later, his phone chimes, "Damn, time to work again :)"
With thoughts of contract penalties weighing on him, he reluctantly shoulders his tiny backpack and heads off to film.
On the show, he's surrounded by a glamorous starlet, a rich CEO, a top streamer-people with more fame, money, or fans. Knowing he can't compete, Wen Chi simply... gives up.
Others dress like show ponies. Wen Chi wears a loose tee, oversized shorts, flip-flops, and a kiddie water bottle, like a kindergartener on a school trip.
At first, viewers and the production team worry Jiang won't take Wen Chi seriously. But they quickly realize, they were overthinking.
While other couples complete missions together, Jiang Siheng does everything alone under the blazing sun. Wen Chi? He sits in the shade, bucket hat on, sipping water, gently clapping and cheering.
New viewers: "Why is Wen Chi not helping?"
Seasoned fans: "It's not that he won't, Jiang Siheng won't let him get even a little sun."
Jiang Siheng spoils Wen Chi to the point of absurdity, and the audience loves it.
After the show ends, fans weep over what they assume is a breakup. Until one red carpet livestream: Jiang Siheng's van arrives, but he doesn't head to the event. He bends to softly speak to someone inside.
Then out steps a very familiar "salted fish" Wen Chi, hand held sweetly by Jiang Siheng.
"Jiang Siheng, I'm so tired..."
"Be good. We'll go home after the award."
"This is your fault. I told you not so many times, my back is killing me."
"Mmm. I won't next time. You were amazing, baby."
Fans: Is there something going on that we're not allowed to know about?!
