By far the best Chinese drama in 2021 and really love how the drama is not scripted to be purely a romantic comedy with out-of-blue fantasy.
Fake fan
Sheng Sheng together with her best friend Tong Hua (Vian Wang Wei) is working as a team in the entertainment media company, trying to get more scoops and juicy news. She disguises herself as the longest supporting fan during Jiang Yi’s fan meeting and got the chance to share the same stage as him. Sheng Sheng requests a dinner date with him alone in order to get some news from him.
To save the reputation of the cold Jiang Yi, his manager encouraged him to show up to the dinner. Jiang Yi overheard Sheng Sheng talking to Tong Hua and knew that she is a fake fan, so the first dinner did not fall through. Having to wait alone in the restaurant, Sheng Sheng was furious when he did not show up at all.

Blessed with a support system and family, Sheng Sheng’s father is a good cook that loves to infuse herbal medicine into cuisines which hits Jiang Yi’s soft spot. While he inhales all the food place on the table, Sheng Sheng has to stick to salads to maintain the idol’s weight.
Finally back to normal

Chances of falling in love
