Manhua

The comic adapted from the novel! It follows the novel’s storyline impressively closely given censorship. It originally had an official English TL online via Bilibili, but as Bilibili’s English site closed down, the only official TL is the English physical copy releasing soon.

The audio drama currently has no English translation, official or unofficial. However, you can buy the audio drama straight from the OG sight and listen to it while reading the novel or manhua! It’s only $3.30 per season.

A lighthearted romantic comedy about two rookie actors who learn they’re being shipped online.

Wei Yanzi and Gu Yiliang debuted together three years ago, from the same agency, so it was inevitable that they’d be considered rivals by their fans. Unfortunately for Wei Yanzi, while Gu Yiliang has phenomenal acting skills to go with his idol-tier good looks…Wei Yanzi only has the idol-tier good looks. He’s so tired of reading online hate comments accusing him of scheming to undermine Gu Yiliang that when he stumbles across a community of people who fervently believe the two actors are an item, it’s not just a shock—it’s a relief! Moved by these fans’ passion and thrilled to find a community where nobody’s trash-talking him, Wei Yanzi becomes addicted to their posts analyzing his and Gu Yiliang’s every move for shipping fuel.Of course there’s nothing actually going on between the two of them…but as he spends more time with Gu Yiliang on the period drama they’re filming together, why is Wei Yanzi starting to feel like the shippers might actually be onto something?!cr: penguin random house

Wei Yanzi / 卫言梓

C-lister celebrity who has fans mainly for his looks, and lacks acting ability. Ships Niangzi CP, the couple pairing of himself & his “rival” Gu Yiliang.

Gu Yiliang / 顾依凉

B-lister talented actor who debuted at the same time & in the same company as Wei Yanzi, which ended up with the two of them becoming “rivals”. Clueless about Wei Yanzi shipping them together.
