At twenty, Gu Qingzi made her debut as the second female lead in an idol drama. Just as she was starting to gain some recognition, she was dragged onto the trending charts and roasted for an entire day.
The reason was that she had publicly left a message on Weibo for Zhou Weiqin, the young heir of Hong Kong City, affectionately calling him "hubby." Then she quickly deleted it, making it look all the more like a cover-up.
"Scheming women are doomed to fail!" Furious fans of the young heir flooded the comments with over a hundred thousand insults.
Even passersby joined in, accusing her of pulling the stunt for publicity.
As the scandal grew, Zhou Weiqin attended a charity gala the next day, and reporters swarmed him.
Facing a crowd of cameras and microphones, the aloof, dignified man lowered his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent.
"Sorry, I don't know this person, so I can't comment."
Later, Gu Qingzi became a sensation after starring in an arthouse film. She won three Best Actress awards at home and abroad, becoming a leading example of acting talent among the new generation of actresses.
When she was invited onto a relationship talk show, the host asked about the incident from years ago: "Can you tell us about what happened between you and Zhou Weiqin?"
Gu Qingzi visibly paused. "I'm not close to him. I just... forgot to switch to my alt account when I was fangirling."
As expected, the interview soon trended again.
Someone quickly dug up her rumored alt account, only to discover that her "hubby's" were scattered all over the world. Her latest crush was Yun Xiao, a rising singer and dancer.
The young heir from Hong Kong City had long since disappeared from her following list...
So much for not being close.
That night, Gu Qingzi got a call from Zhou Weiqin on set.
The man sounded a little displeased. She could almost hear him grinding his teeth. "Last night, when you begged me to slow down, didn't you say I was your only hubby? Baby, who is it you're not close to?"
