Professor Xu and Her Top-Tier Star Ex-Husband

[Weibo: @Zhuang Qianchen Bu Chen The companion story *She Came to My Lecture Again* is now available. Please add it to your reading list~] While doing fieldwork in Africa, Xu Qingyou married a Chinese man, then promptly forgot all about him. Only after returning to China did she discover that he was a celebrity. He’d even said in an interview that he was married, but netizens had taken it as a joke. Si Chao was handsome, rich, and talented, and he ruled the entertainment industry. The people he followed on Weibo were either famous directors or award-winning actors and actresses. Until one day, Si Chao logged on and followed @EyesOpenToTheWorld1234, then spent half an hour liking every post on the blogger’s account! “Did someone hack his account? Why is he following an anthropology blogger?” “Hahaha, I bet this blogger’s over forty. Their posts look just like my advisor’s Moments.” “I remember him saying his dad’s a university professor. Is this his dad’s account? What a good son!” After Si Chao’s Weibo was supposedly “hacked,” his studio’s style changed too. One day, they posted a lecture poster. “Did someone hack the studio too? If I didn’t look at the profile picture, I’d think it was our university’s official account.” “Big Brother must be preparing for a new role. So dedicated!” “He’s promoting his dad’s lecture, obviously!” … Si Chao: “Open your eyes and look! This! Is! Me! Being romantic!” This is a bittersweet story about a man saying, “I’m telling the truth, but the media won’t believe me,” and “I’m clearly being romantic, but my fans won’t buy it.” A lighthearted, silly story. Don’t overanalyze it~ Cool and aloof but secretly clueless anthropologist VS handsome, flirtatious top celebrity Next contemporary romance: *I’ll Give You an Idol*. Blurb below Professor Lu of the philosophy department is handsome and refined, with an otherworldly air. Unfortunately, he has no worldly desires and cares only about academic research. He gets up early to practice tai chi, brews goji berries in his thermos, and has settled into the standard lifestyle of a senior professor years ahead of schedule. Until a student spots him at a concert by the popular singer Luo Ning. The man is holding a fan light sign that reads, “Wife, I love you!” Before the student can recover from the shock, Luo Ning blushes on stage and clears her throat. “Hey, you! Put the sign down. We’ll talk about it at home.” Luo Ning joined a reality talent show and became a sensation overnight thanks to her sweet looks and outstanding singing. Right then, news broke online that she was married. Her husband was a bald old man with neither money nor looks. Heartbroken netizens urged her every day on Weibo to wake up and get a divorce, and recommended their own handsome, rich idol to her. Not long afterward, a video of a professor’s speech at the university’s opening ceremony went viral. Just as netizens were marveling at the heavenly being before them, Luo Ning reposted it with the caption: “Do you think it’d be okay if I divorced him?” Netizens: “…I don’t think so!” The newlywed life of a little idol and an old (crossed out) professor. Five-star sweetness. Premise:
