Unrestrained [Entertainment Industry]

[Published in simplified Chinese under the new title "True Colors". The print edition is now available on various platforms!]

At only 22, Tang Ruoyao wins the Best Actress award and has a bright future ahead. The next day, media outlets flood the internet with press releases hailing her as “the next Qin Yinong.”

Tang Ruoyao’s fans are furious. Qin Yinong has a face that could topple kingdoms and a terrible reputation in the industry. Rumor has it that half the entertainment world has been her lover, and that she had a child out of wedlock years ago! Shame on these unscrupulous media outlets for insulting our idol!

Qin Yinong’s fans are just as outraged. Their idol has won Best Actress awards at home and abroad time and again. Tang Ruoyao isn’t even fit to carry her shoes. This is blatant clout-chasing!

A reporter looking for a scoop interviews the two women separately about what they think of each other.

Qin Yinong smiles like a fox. “We’re not close.”

Tang Ruoyao replies in a polite, formal tone, “Actress Qin is a senior I greatly respect. I hope I’ll have the chance to work with her.”

Not long afterward, reliable news breaks that Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao will co-star in a film. The gossip-loving public expects sparks, but after filming wraps, the two have no contact at all.

Their fans fight bitterly, becoming sworn enemies, while Qin and Tang remain like kings who never meet.

Later, Qin Yinong appears on a show with her daughter. The host asks, “I hear you and Ms. Tang don’t get along?”

A giant photo of Tang Ruoyao appears on the screen.

Qin Yinong smiles faintly, just about to answer.

The little girl in her arms has sparkling eyes. Pointing at Tang Ruoyao’s photo, she calls out brightly, “Mommy!”

The host and the entire audience: “!!!”

The entertainment industry... explodes.
