Pairing Up With a Gorgeous Actress on a Dating Show

Younger puppy (×) dog x gorgeous movie star, with a ten-year age gap Also known as Love at Its Height Movie star Li Yinong has been in the industry for over a decade. She's always been surrounded by scandals and has a poor reputation. More than once, rumors have spread that she likes to seduce handsome young newcomers just starting out. One day, news suddenly breaks that Li Yinong is the mysterious final guest who has yet to be announced on the dating show We're in Love. The production team has announced three male guests: a 33-year-old actor in the midst of a career transition, a 29-year-old rising star in the music world, and... the 20-year-old all-around idol and fresh-faced heartthrob Sui Er, who seems completely out of place on a dating show. Thinking of the rumors about Li Yinong, netizens can't help feeling nervous for the only young heartthrob among the three, Sui Er: @Sui Er, run!!! When the show airs, viewers aren't surprised to see that Sui Er has indeed been paired with Li Yinong. The whole internet: Poor Sui Er. Please protect yourself and don't let her take too many liberties QAQ After the show airs. Seeing how proactive Sui Er is throughout, netizens complain indignantly: This must be a script Li Yinong arranged! Wasn't acting in dramas enough for you? Now you have to make a young heartthrob play the role of someone throwing himself at you on a dating show. Does it feel good? Just a couple of episodes later Netizens: Damn, I think I'm starting to understand why Li Yinong enjoys this. Soon Netizens: Girls, I'm not giving in, but I think this might actually be kind of fun to ship... In the final episode, Sui Er confesses: "Li Yinong, I like you." Li Yinong pauses, then smiles. "What does a 20-year-old kid know about love?" The show ends, and the two don't leave together. Given how everyone had been hoping things would go before the show started, netizens should be relieved that Sui Er escaped unscathed. But somehow, the mood is completely different. [@Li Yinong, were all those years of acting for nothing? When the male lead confesses to you, all you have to do is say yes!] [Waaah, poor Sui Er. Li Yinong, you have no heart! Why didn't you say yes? You heartless woman!] [You loved having a young heartthrob pursue you, but when he confesses, you call him a kid. Li Yinong, what a fickle woman!] [The ship I sailed sank] For a long time after the show ends, Sui Er and Li Yinong have no public interactions whatsoever. Even the one time they eventually cross paths, they act like strangers, radiating the heartbreak of a doomed romance. At last, the fans who had still been holding on to a shred of hope give up. Yet in this very situation, the day after Sui Er's 22nd birthday, an entertainment reporter photographs Li Yinong and Sui Er registering their marriage. The news spreads online. Netizens witness this scene: After leaving the civil affairs office with her husband, who has only just reached the legal age for marriage, Li Yinong doesn't even have time to get into the car before Sui Er pins her against the car door and kisses her fiercely. After a long moment, he bites her lip and says, "Big sis, wife, do you feel how a 22-year-old man loves you now?" The whole internet explodes. * On the show, Sui Er once gave Li Yinong a concert confession. Onstage, before tens of thousands of people, he loudly declared, "The only person I would ever choose as a partner is Li Yinong." Later, beyond the cameras, with their lives seemingly unconnected, no one knows that Li Yinong secretly went to one of his concerts. As she watches Sui Er shine onstage, she seems to see the moment she first fell for him. Theme: Don't worry about what other people think. Be the best version of yourself.
