Three years ago, Shi Zhouyao, a struggling actor, ruthlessly and decisively dumped the boyfriend he’d been with for years.

After the breakup, a car accident left him half comatose. When he woke up, he discovered that his career had completely fizzled out.

Then he found out that in those three years, his ex-boyfriend had become a newly crowned movie star adored by millions.

What Shi Zhouyao never expected was that his costar in his first drama after returning would be Sheng Lianzhao, the ex he had dumped three years ago.

Shi Zhouyao: The heavens want me dead.

He did everything he could to keep his distance, but never expected that after one drama together, the popularity of their ship would start to soar, growing hotter and hotter.

Shi Zhouyao clarified:

“We’re really not putting on a show. We’re really not manufacturing a ship.”

“We’re coworkers. We’re not together. We’re just friends.”

But before long, the internet was buzzing with:

#Zhaoyao spotted on a private date#

#Zhaoyao were high school roommates#

Fans of the ship:

Zhaoyao is real!

One cup of tea, one pack of cigarettes, and a whole day shipping this couple.jpg

It’s been proven beyond a doubt. When are you two going public?

I’m so tired of saying Zhaoyao is real. If anyone says they’re a PR ship, I’ll livestream myself eating cat food.

How about you just eat dog food instead? It’s quicker, easier, and more satisfying.

Later, someone asked the other person involved.

Sheng Lianzhao replied:

“We’re not putting on a show. We’re not manufacturing a ship.”

“We’re a couple. We’re together. He’s my boyfriend.”

Up next, Heatwave:

Chen Qingqing, an innocent, carefree rich young master, has done one truly outrageous thing in his life: strip completely naked, knock on Xu Xingnian’s door, and ask, “Director, am I your type?”

Xu Xingnian has met countless people trying to seduce him, but this is the first time someone so blunt and inexperienced has offered himself up. And he’s not after fame or money, openly admitting that he just wants to act in one of Xu Xingnian’s movies.

The next day, Chen Qingqing becomes the first person to land a leading role in a Xu Xingnian movie without an audition. Rumors fly around the set, and everyone knows how he got the role: he slept with the director.

Only Chen Qingqing knows that he went home exactly as he came, and the director didn’t sleep with him. Instead, he told him, “I have absolutely no interest in you.”

*

Chen Qingqing thought he was the one and only person Xu Xingnian had ever felt this way about, because Director Xu told him, “You’re the most innocent actor I’ve ever met.”

Later, he discovers that Xu Xingnian might like someone beautiful, someone melancholy, or someone with a story to tell.

But he could never like him.

So when Xu Xingnian tells him he’s in love, he’s surprised. Didn’t he say he wasn’t interested?

Xu Xingnian: I regret it.

Chen Qingqing: And that’s all it takes?

Xu Xingnian: Then how about I sleep with you right now?
