1. After years as a nobody, Shi Wanyi finally landed a role as a breathtakingly seductive courtesan. She never expected her kissing scene to be with Song Zhen, her best friend's younger brother!

During the scene, Song Zhen said, “Sis, the director told us to do it.”

Much later, the younger man pleaded pitifully for her to make their relationship official, his voice hoarse. “Sis, you stole my first kiss. You have to take responsibility.”

2. During Shi Wanyi's appearance on a variety show, a secret clip of a washed-up actor pressing her with the question, “Do you still love me? Will you come back to me?” quietly leaked, setting the entire internet ablaze.

Soon after, guest star Song Zhen reposted the show's official Weibo post and “accidentally” included a photo of their marriage certificate. He deleted it seconds later, posted an apology claiming it was a mistake, then replied in the comments, “The certificate is real! We're legally married!”

Weibo exploded. Netizens exclaimed, “Holy crap! That's the status of the legitimate wife, the tactics of a concubine, and the antics of a courtesan!”
