Main cast
[edit]| Actor | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chen Feiyu | Li Xun | A computer genius and top scorer in science in the national college entrance exam. Proud and sharp-tongued, he is more mature than his peers due to his unique experiences, though he is deeply emotional and irrational when it comes to love. He meets and falls in love with Zhu Yun by chance and they later run the LP company together.[7] |
| Zhang Jingyi | Zhu Yun | Seen by others as a well-behaved girl with ideals and ambitions. She refuses to follow the path planned by her mother and falls deeply in love with Li Xun. After several unexpected events, she goes abroad but never truly lets go of Li Xun. She returns to Shanghai and reunites with him to reclaim their company, standing firmly by his side despite his prickly nature. They jointly operate the LP company.[8] |
| Zhao Zhiwei | Gao Jianhong | A university classmate of Zhu Yun and Li Xun, cunning and jealous of Li Xun’s talent. The three formed a close trio during college, but Gao secretly envied Li Xun and resented him especially since the girl he liked also liked Li Xun. Later, he stole Li Xun’s achievements and took over the LP company founded by Li Xun and Zhu Yun, viewing Li Xun as an enemy.[9] |

After entering society, he becomes Gao Jianhong’s partner and accomplice but is more rational compared to Gao’s nearly insane hatred toward Li Xun.[11] |
