The film marks the directorial feature debut of scriptwriter-director Wu Yawen. During the premiere, she revealed that the inspiration for the movie came from a popular internet catchphrase that humorously suggests smart people should avoid falling in love too easily.

Wu explained, "An interesting survey found that some people lie dozens of times a day. This is especially true for women, who often feel compelled to say things they don't truly mean in various situations, making it difficult for them to be fully themselves. That's why I initially focused on crafting the female character, aiming to reflect the dilemmas and struggles of women, as well as their inner longing for true love."
