Take Ling Zifeng for example. He hadn't thought of him before, but after seeing the news, he remembered that he was the female lead's cute little puppy.
According to the book, Yan Zimeng had also gotten to know Ling Zifeng in this drama back then. Then, Ling Zifeng had fallen for the female lead. However, he knew that he, who had no background and relied on luck and speculation to get to his position, was not worthy of Yan Zimeng at all, let alone dare to go against Nangong Jue. Hence, he willingly became Yan Zimeng's follower.
Later on, during one of the shoots, there was a problem with the wires. Yan Zimeng fell and Ling Zifeng became her cushion. It could be said that he sacrificed himself to save her. His arm was broken, but the female lead was extremely touched.
