"It Turns Out I'm Not Handsome" is a comedy that revolves around the humorous and light-hearted characters, funny dialogues, and an engaging plot. It tells the story of a boy who always thought he was handsome but realizes in college that he's not as good-looking as he thought. In this realization, he receives a "nice guy card" from the campus beauty he admires, suffering the tragic blow of "indeed not handsome." This starts a series of hilarious events that have viewers laughing until they cry, with some even jokingly claiming it might cause a heart attack mid-way, necessitating a trip to the hospital for resuscitation.
Since he can remember, Xiaozhuang has always thought of himself as a handsome man. This belief isn't baseless; from childhood to adulthood, whether it's relatives, elders, or the boss of the food stall, everyone always sincerely called him "handsome," reinforcing his self-perception.
The person who shattered Xiaozhuang's illusion of being handsome were his two classmates and best friends: SiSi — a roommate full of quirky ideas, brimming with humor. As the vice president of the pigeon racing club, SiSi considers "Old Wang the Pigeon" his only confidant besides studying pigeon psychology. And Kang — a self-proclaimed playboy and founder and president of the pigeon research society. Despite having dated a few times, whenever Kang gives Xiaozhuang advice on love, following his advice never seems to end well, much to Xiaozhuang's frustration.
Xiaozhuang's connection with Cindy dates back before they entered university when they had an imperfect encounter. To win Cindy over, Xiaozhuang joined the gourmet club and mustered all his courage to confess his feelings. However, Cindy simply replied, "No," leaving Xiaozhuang feeling like he'd been shot in the chest. As he struggled to rise from the metaphorical blood pool, he asked why, to which Cindy responded, "Because you're too ugly." At that moment, Xiaozhuang felt another blow.
With Cindy and Xiaozhuang's complicated relationship further complicated by the addition of the beautiful Qiaoping forming a love triangle, SiSi, already dating the eccentric Pinxuan, finds himself unable to help Xiaozhuang anymore. Meanwhile, Kang faces the toughest love triangle of his life, while also dealing with the persistent romantic advances of Mann. Thus, these three brothers-in-arms weave a super romantic campus comedy filled with laughter through tears and exhaustion.
