Ruan Jiayu and Lu Beifeng, two top-tier stars in the entertainment industry, had been married for three years. They spent little time together, and one day each heard that the other had found someone new. They both accepted it with understanding and agreed to divorce amicably.
However, their agency took a hard line. To keep the divorce from hurting Ruan Jiayu's popularity, they gave her a suggestion: cultivate a devoted-lover image and pin the blame on Lu Beifeng.
So Ruan Jiayu posted a handwritten statement on her own, on crumpled paper faintly marked with tears: [Our journey together has ended. Those who come after may still be pursued. I wish you well.]
She paired it with a photo of the enormous diamond Lu Beifeng had used to propose, with the signed auction agreement in the background.
Just as expected, the statement topped the trending searches, and fans rushed to express their sympathy.
[She's even auctioning off her wedding ring? That scumbag @LuBeifengV must have let our fish down!]
[Waaaaah, don't be sad, Fishy. Mom loves you.]
[Sell it quickly, so you can get the next one.]
[Her handwriting is so pretty, respect. Mom loves you!]
An hour later, @LuBeifengV posted in reply: [Heh, I'm auctioning off our marital home!] The attached photo showed their luxurious mountaintop love nest.
The trending searches exploded. After heated discussion between both fandoms, everyone reached a consensus, and the two topics merged into one at the top of the rankings: [We loved each other. @RuanJiayuV @LuBeifengV]
At a livestreamed variety show, Ruan Jiayu linked arms with her young male companion and adjusted her sunglasses. Behind Lu Beifeng, his girlfriend and assistant followed, handing him a thermos with a warm design.
Ruan Jiayu spoke first. "My ex-husband is still as handsome as ever."
Lu Beifeng glanced at the young man beside her. "Your taste isn't that great."
"..."
That afternoon, Lu Beifeng cornered Ruan Jiayu where the cameras couldn't see. "So, between me and that pretty boy, who's better?"
Ruan Jiayu: "H-Hubby... my mic is still on..."
[An old flame rekindling story. They didn't exactly break up, they just grew distant. Getting back together, happily ever after, lighthearted and sweet.]
[After writing heavy, angsty stories for too long, the author just wants to let loose for a change.]
