Stirring Up Trouble

Cheng Niannian, a hugely popular top-tier star, began her career as a child actress. With fair skin, stunning looks, and long legs, she has starred in hit after hit and boasts over 70 million fans. Her popularity and buzz are through the roof, yet her merciless habit of breaking up fan pairings has earned her the nickname "CP Thanos."

Jiang Sheng, an actor whose films have grossed tens of billions at the box office, made a sudden splash three years ago. He releases one major action movie a year, has no studio handling his public image, and leaves his Weibo account dormant. He doesn't sign autographs, take photos with fans, or attend events. Cool, aloof, and low-key, he has never been involved in a dating rumor.

Across the vast internet, the two have absolutely no connection. The only people who bring them together are a few fan editors making videos to admire their looks.

That is, until they meet while filming the same movie, and their shipping fandom starts to take off.

[During the face-slapping scene, Teacher Jiang held Niannian's face and looked so concerned. And Niannian didn't push him away!]

[What's the big deal? Niannian went to an event, refused to let her male co-star help her, and picked up her own skirt as she strode off. Teacher Jiang smiled. I'm screaming, I'm screaming!]

[Turns out the movie is adapted from a novel with the same name, and that novel has tons of steamy scenes. Go roll around already! (As in, roll around in bed.)]

[They're both so aloof in real life. Their steamy scenes are going to be incredible!]

[The rumors are everywhere, but CP Thanos hasn't denied them as fiercely as she used to. It must be true.]

[Aaaaaah, when are my ship going to make it official?!]
