原来我不帅

Original title

Ever since he could remember, Zhuang Junwei (Lin Junjie) had always considered himself a handsome guy, and this belief was not entirely unfounded. From childhood onward, whether it was relatives and elders, the proprietress of a snack stall, a girl filling out a questionnaire, an uncle soliciting clients, an aunt scalping tickets, or a classmate borrowing his report to copy, everyone would always sincerely call him "handsome." So he truly believed he was handsome. The person who awakened Xiaozhuang from this handsome-guy dream was his two classmates and close friends: Jin Sisi (Li Jiuze)—a scatterbrained roommate brimming with bizarre ideas, hilarious from head to toe. As vice president of the Racing Pigeon Research Club, Sisi stated that aside from his dedication to studying the educational psychology of racing pigeons, the pigeon "Old Wang" was his only soulmate. Fang Wenkang (Zhang Xunjie)—a self-styled romantic rogue who fancied himself a ladies' man, and was also the founder and president of the Racing Pigeon Research Club. Having dated a few times, Ah Kang loved to act as Xiaozhuang's love analyst, but what drove Xiaozhuang crazy was that whenever he followed Ah Kang's advice, the results never seemed to turn out right. In fact, Xiaozhuang's connection with Cindy Xu Xinting (Zeng Kaixuan) went back quite a while—two months earlier, he had already had an imperfect encounter with Cindy. And when Xiaozhuang mustered all his courage to confess his feelings to Cindy, Cindy simply uttered two words: "No." Xiaozhuang felt as if he had been shot in the chest. He struggled to climb up from the "pool of blood" and, with his last ounce of strength, asked why. Cindy glanced at Xiaozhuang and said, "Because you're 'too ugly.'" In that instant, Xiaozhuang felt as if he had been shot again. The tangled, unresolvable love between Cindy and Xiaozhuang grew even more complicated with the arrival of the beauty Cai Qiaoping (Yao Anqi), and it also plunged Ah Kang into the most baffling love triangle of his life. The helpless Ah Kang still had the clingy Shen Manman (Lu Jiaxin) to deal with romantically, while Sisi, already dating the eccentric girl Liu Pinxuan (Zhong Xinyi), had no time left for Xiaozhuang. All three boys found themselves trapped at the "love checkpoint," and so these three hapless brothers wove together a romantic campus comedy that blends laughter through tears and tears through laughter.
