Crush Episode 1 introduces Sang Wuyan, a college senior preparing to graduate who dreams of becoming a radio presenter. Working as an assistant at a radio station, she is passionate about broadcasting and deeply admires a mysterious songwriter known by the pen name Yi Jin. Her routine takes an unexpected turn when Nie Xi, the host of the station's Golden Hits programme, is delayed and Wuyan is asked to step in and handle the live broadcast. Despite her nervousness, Wuyan changes parts of the prepared script and brings her own personality to the programme. Her spontaneous approach catches attention, although the incident also leads to criticism from the station after the regular host returns. Meanwhile, Su Nianqin, a gifted and highly sought-after songwriter who works under the name Yi Jin, is dealing with professional disagreements. He has chosen to give one of his new songs to a relatively unknown singer rather than the popular singer Xu Guanchun. Xu and his team are unhappy with the decision, but Su Nianqin remains firm in his artistic judgment. His assistant, Yu Xiaolu, tries to manage the situation while he seeks a little peace away from the pressure surrounding his work. Behind his quiet and distant personality is a man whose musical talent and visual impairment shape the way he experiences life. After her radio shift, Wuyan encounters Wei Hao, a man from her past who attempts to clear up the misunderstanding between them. Their interaction leaves her frustrated, and she eventually walks away to a nearby park. There, she sits on a bench listening to music and begins singing along without realising how badly she is going off-key. Nearby, Su Nianqin is enjoying music and is disturbed by the unexpected interruption. The two cross paths without Wuyan knowing his real identity or understanding the challenges he faces because of his visual impairment. She notices his striking appearance, and their brief encounter leaves a memorable impression on her. Wuyan's admiration for Yi Jin grows as she listens to his music and talks enthusiastically about his work. However, a sensational online story soon claims that a woman is the mysterious songwriter Yi Jin and that she is romantically involved with Xu Guanchun. For Wuyan, who has long admired the elusive musician, the allegation is difficult to believe. She strongly suspects that the woman is an impostor, while the controversy threatens to damage the reputation of the real songwriter and misrepresent the meaning behind his music. Nie Xi, who knows more about Yi Jin's identity, becomes determined to invite the real songwriter onto her programme and put an end to the confusion. Although Su Nianqin initially has little interest in responding to the gossip, the situation becomes harder to ignore when the false claims threaten the integrity of his work. With encouragement from Yu Xiaolu and the radio host's persistence, he begins to reconsider the possibility of appearing on the programme. At the same time, Wuyan must deal with complications in her personal relationships and think about her future beyond the radio station. Her passion for broadcasting remains strong, even as university responsibilities and questions about her career begin to shape her next steps. An unexpected opportunity brings her close to Su Nianqin once again, but she narrowly misses the chance to meet him properly. Their paths are about to cross in a way neither of them could have anticipated. Episode 1 establishes the central romance between an optimistic aspiring broadcaster and a talented, guarded songwriter who lives with visual impairment. Through music, chance encounters and a growing mystery surrounding Yi Jin's identity, the story begins bringing Sang Wuyan and Su Nianqin into each other's lives. What starts as admiration from a distance is the beginning of a relationship that will challenge their assumptions, uncover hidden pain and change the direction of both their futures.
