At the Carrara Academy of Fine Arts in Tuscany, Italy, a young artist named Li Ying is immersed in the ocean of art. This historic and modern institution has witnessed his youth. During the years of studying abroad, Li Ying not only sketched his dreams on the canvas, but also relied on the wave of the Internet and the wind of the "movement" to become a star in the Chinese Internet world with the unique online name "Teacher Li is not your teacher", which is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
At a Chinese gathering, Li Ying met Zhang Yue, a newly arrived Shanghai girl, who was born in the 2000s and also had an artistic dream. Zhang Yue had heard of Li Ying's online image for a long time, and the two quickly established a deep friendship because of their common value pursuit. Li Ying used her online reputation to help Zhang Yue expand her social circle in the overseas Chinese community.
Zhang Yue was deeply attracted by Li Ying's charm as an opinion leader, and the two briefly sparked an emotional spark in a heated discussion about artistic freedom. However, as she got to know Li Ying better, Zhang Yue was saddened to find that she was just a passer-by in Li Ying's many relationships.
Later, Li Ying became fascinated with Indian food and met Lakshmi, a waiter at an Indian restaurant. Despite the language barrier, Li Ying easily overcame the obstacle with the economic strength brought by network traffic, frequently visited the restaurant, and quietly entered Lakshmi's life.
The rich aroma of curry inadvertently revealed the secret, and Zhang Yue noticed something strange. Although she knew that she was not the only one for Li Ying, such blatant behavior still made her feel deeply uneasy. Gradually, Zhang Yue began to wake up and realized that her relationship with Li Ying was far from a simple emotional relationship, but more like being in a complex game. Although the halo of KOL is dazzling, it cannot cover up the reality of shallow emotions and infidelity. In the end, Zhang Yue mustered up the courage to choose to quit the game and embark on the journey of regaining self-worth and independence.
