Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story that follows aerospace engineer Yu Tu and the shining star Qiao Jingjing. A decision to start gaming in order to save her endorsement deal brings her face to face with an old crush. As they grow closer, the two forge ahead to become each other's glory.

Being a well-known celebrity, Qiao Jingjing (Dilraba Dilmurat) has to keep up appearances to maintain her multi-faceted image. Alas, one starts to crack when someone leaks a video of her playing an online game and being terrible at it which is completely inconsistent with the image she has created for herself as the game's ambassador. Since her agent is worried that Qiao Jingijing might lose the endorsement, she has to join a gaming competition to prove her skills.

Qiao Jingjing decides to use all of her free time towards improving her game and her decision leads her to reconnect with her old high school classmate Yu Tu (Yang Yang) whom she once had a crush on. He was a legend at their school, outstanding in everything that he does while Qiao Jingjing was just your average girl. Yu Tu has gone on to become an aerospace engineer who is also an expert gamer. It seems that the online game has brought them together once more so she asks him to become her gaming coach.
