Gentle and gorgeous × rebellious and unruly / both from wealthy families / the young lady never bends

1) Shang Xu became famous at a young age, winning the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor at nineteen and taking home an international accolade at twenty-one. He was born with an extraordinary face and dazzling talent. Of course, he gave people plenty to criticize too: he was antisocial, quick-tempered, and ready to tear into anyone who crossed him, never repeating the same insult twice.

A true genius, and truly difficult to deal with.

People in the industry all said, “If only he had a better personality, no one of his generation could compete with him.”

Shang Xu never took that to heart.

Wen Wan was nothing like him. Gentle, gorgeous, and talented, she ranked among the best of the new generation of actresses in every respect.

In the six years since their debuts, they had never appeared in the same frame. Just as everyone expected, the two of them belonged to completely different worlds.

2) One spring, a shocking relationship announcement brought the fiery and the gentle together. Their names shot to the top of the trending searches that day, and the entire internet cried that the pairing was all wrong and they weren't compatible at all. Even Shang Xu thought so himself.

But Wen Wan was happy. After six years, she had finally made it to his side, at her very best.

3) The following Valentine's Day, the film Addiction opened to eager anticipation. Its first-day box office passed 100 million, leading the Valentine's Day releases.

The “Double A” couple flirted with each other, and fans and passersby alike asked, “Am I seeing this without paying?”

A month later, as the film's run was nearing its end, Shang Xu suddenly logged on to Weibo.

@Shang Xu: My addiction, @Wen Wan

Fans and passersby: ??? Has Brother Xu's account been hacked?

Two minutes later, Wen Wan responded sweetly.

@Wen Wan: I want to love you a little more every day. @Shang Xu

The hashtag #ShangXuWenWanRelationshipRevealed# immediately set the trending topics on fire…

A love poem split in two: one half I give to you, the other I quietly keep, so when our hair turns white, we can finish it together.

Both heirs to wealthy families / both each other's first love / male lead is a model of gentlemanly virtue
