After two TV dramas became smash hits, screenwriter Tao Yiren was investigated from top to bottom.
So the old story about how she'd made a grand romantic pursuit of Tan Yi in high school stayed on Weibo's trending topics for a whole day.
**
@Netizen Hungry Rabbit: Wow, Yiren is so cool! Seriously, what was Young Master Tan thinking?
@Netizen Never Wearing Long Johns: As expected, girls are the best at flirting with girls. I wish I could turn into a guy and have Big Sis Yiren pursue me once.
@Netizen Your Jungle Is My Home: Tagging my girlfriend. Take notes!
@Netizen Tan Yi Is My Husband: So my goddess and I have the same taste, ahhhhh!
Before the gossip-loving crowd could catch their breath, a post from Tan Yi that night sent the platform's servers crashing once again. He wrote:
You always reap what you sow. How about I tell everyone how I'm pursuing you now? @Tao Yiren

The whole internet: We'll take the PDA. Now get married already!!!
Platform staff: Does President Tan really have to post in the middle of the night?
Official account manager: Fine, I guess I'm not sleeping.
A beautiful, aloof, universally adored star screenwriter X a secretly passionate, icy, abstinent internet mogul
[Scene that sums it all up]
Tan Yi leaned against the balcony railing, his gaze deep and distant with a faint trace of drunkenness. "Yiren, I used to view the world with the greatest malice, and you were a ray of light slipping into my black-and-white world..."
"Oh, get lost," Tao Yiren said without a hint of courtesy. "Do you even know what you did to that ray of light that slipped in?"
At last Tao Yiren had cursed him out. Tan Yi was delighted. He chuckled twice, gazing fixedly at her with tender affection, then slowly licked his lips. "Be good. Don't swear."
