As reported on Sina, the news was revealed at the press conference of the said project, which was held recently and attended by both actors.

Dilraba will play the role of Qiao Jingjing, a celebrity who finds herself in trouble after being exposed as a bad gamer despite endorsing an online game, while Yang plays Yu Tu, a former crush of Qiao Jingjing of whom she meets again through a new online game.
