After Debuting on a Talent Show, My Mortal Enemy and I Became a Couple

On the finale night of Starshine Idol Camp, Jiang Che takes the center spot by a landslide, with Lin Ye close behind as runner-up.

During a backstage interview, a reporter asks how they feel about being both rivals and teammates. Jiang Che smiles and says, “I’m looking forward to working together,” but Lin Ye responds coldly, “May the best man win.” The cameras capture every bit of their hostility.

On debut night, their “classic clapback moments” shoot to the top of the trending charts.

#YeChe At Each Other’s Throats# and #YeChe Off-the-Charts Chemistry# trend at the same time.

Fans split into rival camps of solo stans tearing into each other and CP fans celebrating wildly.

To ride the wave of attention, their company forces the two to appear together at events. In private, Lin Ye and Jiang Che keep sabotaging each other: deliberately talking over one another on livestreams, secretly competing onstage. Even the staff joke, “Those two really do hate each other.”
