This young man was called Zhou Yi. He had just turned 19 years old. He originally debuted three years ago as the lead singer of a talent show idol group that was popular all over the country. Later, because he didn't have the skills to keep up, he took the initiative to leave the group. After that, he got into acting.
He mostly played fresh and likable supporting characters, like the female lead's comical and ignorant sidekick, or the type of character who was poor and pitiful yet still good and kind-hearted.
His skills were average, but he had good connections and gave off a very sincere feel. His naturally pitiful appearance in particular made one think of a cute little puppy, and he attracted a lot of fans who viewed him like a little brother or son.
It was because of these big sister and mom fans, who had raised funds like crazy, that he had been able to debut in the talent show back then.
