Finally became a shining star.

But…

Are you still blaming me?

Do you still remember me?

I've gotten used to this kind of life already.

But some people's presence…

is just like candy.

You think you've long forgotten how it tastes,

only to realize…

it's already ingrained in your bones.

Take a deep breath, follow my rhythm.

When…

will I finally find you?

"Candy"

(Episode 1: No Crying After Candy)

It's reported that your studio is suspected of issuing fake invoices.

Lin Can,

the amount of tax evasion exceeds seven figures.

Is this how you purchased that limited edition luxury car?

During the tax scandal,

you still showed up publicly.

Tell us, are you taunting the public?

And the rumors about you and your agent Si Han...

the lesbian gossip is everywhere.

Is it true or not?

Regarding these questions,

the studio will appoint

a dedicated legal team to handle them.

We cannot disclose specific details.

If you care about Lin Can's work, how about...

What about snatching the female lead role from actress Jiang Wan?

How do you explain that?

Yeah!

Answer that!

Answer us!

You were seen on the new drama set

being intimate with a married director,

with repeated physical contact.

So…

are all your leading roles

obtained through such improper behavior?

I never thought Lin Can was so rotten.

I've wasted all these years supporting her.

Everyone, friends from the media,

regarding these online rumors,

we've prepared statements from our lawyers.

We won't respond to personal questions.

Top star Lin Can flees in guilt!

Where is she?

Over there!

After her!

Hurry!

(Si Han: When you've gotten somewhere safe, send your location.

The company strongly warns you against responding to the media.)

Xiao He.

Come here!

Nuannuan.

Where are you?

Sorry, sorry.

Had enough filming?

Filming secretly is a violation of privacy...

it's illegal.

Want me to call the police?

I...

What a thorough disguise.

Let me see

what you've filmed.

I didn't...

I didn't film anything.

I didn't film a thing.

I was just buying groceries and heading home.

Dressed like that…

for groceries?

I was just hiding from my landlord.

Oh, right.

What did you say earlier?

You're a celebrity?

You don't know me?

My bad.

I misunderstood.

How about…

I give you an autograph?

No, thanks.

A photo?

A photo then?

No need.

I really don't know you.

I'll head back now.

Fine.

Don't know me, huh?

Now you know me?

I still don't know you.

I'm still going home.

Xiao He.

It's so good to see you.

But…

We're not in the same world anymore.

She went into this alley.

After her!

Go that way.

Quick, quick!

Don't be scared.

I'll take you away.

Don't be scared.

I'll take you away.

Hurry!

We're here.

Go that way.

Okay.

So-sorry...

Did I grip too tight?

Didn't you say you don't know me?

Why help me out then?

Give me your phone.

When did you move back?

(Three years earlier)

Who are you?

What are you doing loitering outside my door?

Where's the previous resident here?

Moved out long ago.

It's my place now.

My aunt sold my house.

I barely managed to rent it back.

This was originally your parents' home.

They lived here,

yet dared to sell it?

Are you a rabbit?

All vegetables.

So skinny.

Don't you eat anything decent?

It's just that…

Wen Nuannuan, open up!

I know you're home.

Oh no.

The landlord's here for rent.

Open up!

I'll handle it.

Hurry, open up!

No need.

You can hide today, but not forever.

I know...

I'll handle it.

You just graduated, no job.

Why not just follow me?

Rent's free.

I'll take you out to eat every day.

Who are you?

I'm her creditor.

You're a creditor too?

Wen Nuannuan,

how come you owe everyone?

If you don't pay the rent today,

pack your things and get out.

I know...

you just graduated, no job.

Why not just follow me?

Rent's free.

I'll take you out to eat every day.

You're recording me?

About the rent...

someone will contact you today to settle it.

If you harass her again,

this recording

goes to my lawyer.

Hey, miss...

let's talk this out nicely.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

But…

when did you become my creditor?

Huh?

Did you forget everything from before?

Please give me your bank number.

Once I find a job and save enough,

I'll pay you back the rent.

Wen Nuannuan,

can you really repay what you owe me?

Forget it.

Consider it hush money.

What happened today…

don't tell anyone.

Got it.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone what happened today.

And in the future, I won't...

I'll send you the location.

Okay.

See you soon.

What did you say?

I said…

I won't bother you in the future either.

Bye.

You…

All grown up and you're still crying like this?

Isn't it embarrassing?

Alright.

Have some candy.

No more crying.

Xiao He,

let's go!

Coming!

Hurry up.

What's got you so happy?

Do you still remember that person I told you about before?

Your…

never-started, already-over first love?

Don't tell me you…

Life, huh.

Notify HR.

I need a new assistant.

Okay.

Wen Nuannuan,

starting today,

your easy days are over.

Xiao He,

it was so good to see you.

But we probably won't meet again.

[*searching up Lin Can*]

So pretty.

They say she has a big shot backing her.

Otherwise, she'd be finished.

Can Can's been quietly doing charity all along.

Can't the gossip get any fresher?

If you don't know the truth,

don't talk nonsense.

That limited edition motorcycle of hers

could last a regular person a lifetime.

You worker ants

shouldn't bother pitying celebrities making millions.

Lin Can and her agent Si Han…

I could ship that.

They look so good together.

But…

it's none of my business.

Star Entertainment.

Isn't that Xiao He's company?

No.

I can't go.

But next month's rent…

I wonder if I'll get hired this time.

But dear God,

please don't let me run into Lin Can.

[Auntie]

Hello, Auntie.

Nuannuan, I have some good news.

Your cousin is getting married.

Congratulations to him.

The girl's from the city.

The bride price is 300,000.

As the older sister,

you should contribute 88,000.

Only fair, right?

Auntie,

it's not that I don't want to help,

but I really don't have that kind of money.

Besides, our cousin is so outstanding...

any girl would be lucky to have him.

Why would he need a bride price?

Don't give me that.

Have a conscience.

Since you were little,

how much have we spent on you?

Auntie,

I really don't have time right now.

Let's talk another day.

I have to go to an interview.

If I don't do well in this interview,

not only can't I give you money,

I might have to rely on you.

Hello?

Auntie?

Auntie?

Did you see the recent hot searches?

I heard Lin Can's about to be canceled.

But even in this state,

I heard she still snatched Jiang Wan's lead role.

Exactly.

It's trending everywhere.

The tag “Lin Can Get Out of Entertainment”

has over a billion views.

And that gossip about her and her agent Si Han...

is it true or not?

Don't know.

But honestly, they do look good together.

You all know so much gossip.

Is it even real?

Who knows?

But that's what's online.

The way you talk,

I thought you saw it yourselves.

Wha— what's it to you?

We can say whatever we want.

None of your business.

It's not my business.

But I just think…

you don't need to worry so much.

After all, Lin Can isn't blind.

She…

would never pick any of you as assistants.

Right, little girl?

Lin Can.

She's even more beautiful in person.

Probably spent a fortune on that face.

Can't even take care of yourself.

How will you take care of me?

Just like a little puppy.

Lin Can!

Stop right there!

Lin Can!

Why did you steal my lead role?

You've been my supporting actress for years.

Still not used to it?

You're just jealous!

The director said

the female lead needs someone like me...

with a perfect waist-to-hip ratio.

Too bad.

Great body, no brains.

You...

Jiang Wan.

Si Han.

Take the next interviewee to the meeting room.

Today's interviews end here.

Other applicants

may leave.

Miss Jiang,

if you have any issues with the casting,

take it up with Mr. Shen.

As for now…

please mind where you are.

Let's go.

Lin Can,

don't get too cocky.

I hear the tax bureau

will be visiting soon.

Better memorize your supporting actress lines.

Please enjoy the anger-relief exercise.

Are you crazy?

Teacher Jiang Wan,

you instructed me before:

next time you get angry,

play this anger-relief exercise.

Don't be troubled, don't be troubled.

Trouble will make you die early.

Lin Can!

I'll kill you!

Come in.

Hello, interviewers.

My name is Wen Nuannuan.

I'm here for the interview.

Have a seat.

This is my resume.

So your career plan is to be…

an instant noodle blogger,

or…

a moving company worker?

No, no, no.

I'm applying to be a celebrity assistant.

Any salary expectations?

Um…

Enough for rent is fine.

Please take another look.

Look at this...

this is my “Box Moving King” award

from the moving company.

And also…

my special guide for solo hunger situations...

Instant Noodle Strategies.

Air-fryer crispy noodles,

crayfish mixed noodles,

spicy sour noodles,

cold tossed noodles,

curry seafood noodles…

Sign here.

Stamp here.

Okay.

Alright.

Welcome.

You're hired.

It's…

that simple?

You…

Look...

I still have lots of skills to show.

Not needed.

Starting today,

you are Teacher Lin Can's assistant.

Lin Can?

I really can't do this.

Come on.

I'm not cut out for this.

Let me show you around.

I really can't, miss.

Miss…

I...

Miss, I really can't.

This is your supervisor's office.

This is the boss's office.

Over here

is the company pantry.

Now let me tell you...

Can… can you find someone else?

I really can't be Lin Can's assistant.

Trying to run?

Let me tell you,

the contract is signed.

No turning back.

I didn't know that was a contract.

No probation period.

Direct full-time hire.

Full-time?

Salary's good too.

This much.

Five figures?

First things first...

you must address Lin Can as “Teacher Lin Can.”

Next, listen carefully.

You need to remember these rules.

First,

Teacher Lin Can's assistant

must be available 24/7.

Second,

she treats her motorcycle better than her own mother.

The last assistant

got the maintenance date wrong

and was fired on the spot.

And also…

never, ever ask if she has someone she likes.

The assistant before the last one

asked about her relationship status

and later…

Wh-what happened to her?

I heard

after leaving,

she was mentally traumatized.

Needed six months of therapy.

She's probably recovered by now.

Wen Nuannuan,

good luck.

And the rumors about you and your agent Si Han...

the lesbian gossip is everywhere.

Is it true or not?

Lin Can!

Why did you steal my lead role?

Nuannuan,

all settled with onboarding?

I've signed away my body.

Good.

Your first day starts with work.

Sorry about that.

But Lin Can is missing right now.

I have an important meeting soon.

It's urgent.

I need you to help me immediately

to find Lin Can as soon as possible.

Okay.

I'll text you her location.

Contact me if anything.

Good luck,

Wen Nuannuan.

Teacher Lin Can.

Teacher Lin Can.

Teacher Lin Can.

Teacher Lin Can.

I'm coming in.

Teacher Lin Can.

Must be home by 3 a.m.

Watch your mouth in front of the media.

No posting sad essays after drinking.

Going faster than eighty...

no alcohol for a week.

Teacher Lin Can.

Are you in there?

I'm coming in.

Xiao He.

Teacher Lin Can.

Teacher Lin Can.

Xiao He.

What's wrong?

Oh no.

Is she… dead?

No.

I need to call 911.

So-sorry, Teacher Lin Can.

I didn't mean it.

I thought you were…

After disappearing for so long,

you're finally back.

If I died,

would you be sad?

Yes.

I don't want to lose my job on day one.

So…

you don't want anything to happen to me.

Of course.

I mean…

I don't want to be

the primary suspect.

So you still care about me, right?

What's with Lin Can today?

Um… Teacher Lin Can,

It was Si Han who sent me.

I'm your new assistant.

Wen Nuannuan.

Have you figured out how you're going to repay what you owe me?

What do I do?

Did she plan how to torture me?

Don't go.

Don't leave me.

(Easter egg)

Let's go, hurry.

Hurry, it's about to rain.
