The first episode of To Be Hero X, titled ‘Nice,’ began as Lin Ling, a young advertising employee, presented a promotional video about the hero Nice. However, he is fired for emphasizing that anyone can be a hero. After being dismissed, Lin Ling witnesses Nice leap from a billboard and vanish.

He’s taken by Miss J., who reveals Nice is gone and selects Lin Ling as his replacement due to their resemblance. Using public trust, Lin Ling gains Nice’s powers. While adapting to his new identity, he defeats his former boss on live TV. Later, he finds Moon – Nice’s girlfriend – dead in his room.
