Qi Xiao, a top-tier idol whose acting skills are regularly mocked by the entire internet, finds himself forced to join a dating reality show. His secret role? The “Liar”—the “scumbag” of the group.
To succeed as the Liar, he must:
1. Keep his identity hidden until the very end.
2. Avoid being voted out by the other participants.
3. Receive at least one confession of love.
Qi Xiao assumed he’d be voted out immediately given his “terrible” acting. Instead, the public’s logic took a strange turn:
Viewer 1: “Process of elimination: the Liar definitely isn’t Qi Xiao. He can’t act well enough to fake it.”
Viewer 2: “I’m a Qi Xiao anti-fan, so I’m voting for [Contestant X] just to spite him.”
Viewer 3: “Honestly, Qi Xiao is being so ‘real’ on this show. I’m voting for [Contestant Y].”
Qi Xiao: “???”
A few episodes later, the audience sentiment shifted drastically:
Viewer 1: “I’m sobbing! The ‘Qi-Yu’ CP is so sweet! Crying over this beautiful love again today!”
Viewer 2: “Stop joking, Xiao-Xiao clearly loves Film Emperor Lu! I’ve locked this ship and swallowed the key!”
Viewer 3: “Guys, don’t you think Qi Xiao might actually be the Liar?”
Viewers 1 & 2: “LOL, please. The eyes don’t lie! With Xiao-Xiao’s acting skills, there’s no way he could fake those looks of love!”
Viewer 3: “???”
When the finale finally aired, Qi Xiao’s name shattered the trending charts:
