Love Hits the Limit

Lin Xingshi, an obscure contestant-turned-idol, is photographed at the airport with his phone screen clearly showing his stock holdings in a bull spread. Top comment: “Lin Xingshi thinks he can trade stocks with that brain of his? He’s bound to lose everything!” A week later, every stock in Lin Xingshi’s portfolio hits its daily limit. He gains hundreds of thousands of followers overnight, and A-share investors beg him to share his secret to making money. Top hedge fund trader Zhenliuke reposts his Weibo post with the comment: “So you’re President Heng’s wife? My apologies, my apologies.” Someone once left a comment on Song Boheng’s account: “How can I find out what President Heng is holding before it shows up on the Dragon and Tiger List?” Song Boheng, who rarely posts, replied: “Thanks for asking. I only share that in advance with my wife.” Lin Xingshi posts a clarification that very day: “Song Boheng and I have absolutely no connection. Rumors stop with the wise.” A few days later, Song Boheng’s purchase of Zhijian Media stock crosses the five-percent disclosure threshold, making him a public major shareholder. All the executives: “You’re still going to claim you don’t know Song Boheng?!” Lin Xingshi: “If I knew him, would I have spent the last three years as an obscure nobody?” Later, Song Boheng announces that he’ll appear on a dating reality show. “We don’t know each other, actually. But… I’d like to give it a try with him.” [This story has no real-life inspirations and is entirely fictional. Please don’t read it as relating to real life.
