Child star Li Yueyan lands the female lead role in a drama during a low point in her acting career.
Playing the male lead is Gu Zhouxing, a childhood star who rose to fame at a young age, debuted as a singer and dancer, then transitioned to acting. He's a hot celebrity, a national idol, a top traffic star, a ratings savior, and much more.
The drama later becomes a huge hit, and Li Yueyan shoots to fame thanks to it.
Fans of the couple start calling out to the "Yanxing Couple": "Please, please get together!"
An insider reveals that popular young actress Li Yueyan and Gu Zhouxing have actually known each other for many years, and are very close in private.
Another source claims that Gu Zhouxing joined the entertainment industry for Li Yueyan.
Sharp-eyed fans notice that Li Yueyan is the first person Gu Zhouxing followed on Weibo.
On top of that, fans edit together clips of the two attending various events. The way they look at and interact with each other could inspire a hundred sweet romances.
At one interview, a reporter asks Gu Zhouxing, "Are you and Yueyue really that close?"
The man lowers his eyes, concealing a fleeting change in his expression, and smiles warmly. "You should ask her."
Not long afterward, Li Yueyan says in an interview that the male star she is least likely to date is Gu Zhouxing.
A month later, paparazzi spot the two at a convenience store.
Li Yueyan is wearing pink pajamas and a fluffy hat. Gu Zhouxing, in casual clothes with his hands in his pockets, walks beside her. After a few steps, he crouches down to tie her shoelace.
After the news breaks, the fans take it in stride: the two are just the perfect brother-and-sister duo. Would you fall in love with your brother?
