Top-tier star Lu Jianxing has severe face blindness, so bad that he can't tell people from ghosts even when they're just ten meters away.
When he first debuted, he shot to fame with a pure-romance TV series in which he starred, becoming one half of the new generation's most beloved celebrity pairing with Lu Cheng.
Rumor had it that their ship fans made up half of the entertainment industry. At its peak, the pairing was all the rage.
At a live-streamed awards ceremony, he and Lu Cheng went onstage together to accept an award. The host asked him, "I hear Jianxing and Chengcheng are close in private, too. Since you're accepting an award together today, is there anything you'd like to say to Chengcheng?"
Lu Jianxing turned to the second male lead, who played a scheming green-tea character in the series, and said earnestly, "Thank you so much for supporting me all the way. Honestly, I never thought I would win an award... I'm so overwhelmed. Thank you."
Everyone: "...??????"
The whole internet exploded.
Reports about the breakup of the double-Lu pairing took over the headlines of every entertainment news outlet. Ship fans went wild, while solo fans launched furious attacks. The beloved celebrity couple of a generation came to an abrupt end.
From then on, Lu Jianxing and Lu Cheng became famous sworn enemies in the industry. Whenever footage showed the two of them together, the internet erupted into another storm. Even show producers deliberately avoided putting them in the same shot.
At an offline event, Lu Jianxing's manager told him to interact more with Best Actor Zhou and stir up some buzz.
Then, in front of a crowd, Lu Jianxing strode straight over to Lu Cheng and handed him a matching couple's ice cream. "Best Actor Zhou, have some ice cream."
Lu Cheng: "..."
Once again, this made the trending list.
#Holy crap! You little rascal, you can't handle it, so you sneak attack!#
#Does reheating old leftovers really taste good?#
Theme: Face life with a positive attitude
How should I put it, I don't feel that I like Gong's character very much, I just like him but I have never put myself in Shou's career and development, including when the public opinion exploded, and I have no explanation or anything. Now that I am participating in the show... Well, let's take a look.
No more updates? Is this going to be a trap? So sad
It's really beautiful. I hope the author won't cheat.
Haha, it's so funny. Why doesn't he explain that he is face-blind?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm sorry for you, baby
Gong's fans really perfectly match my stereotype of fandom, being mean, vicious, extreme, and unreasonable
Ah, this attack... Well, it makes people a little speechless.
How can a big one be short and small (?￣▽￣)?
Brother, your book is even worse...
Dear mother, I have been waiting for the completion of this book. It has been gathering dust in my favorites for a long time. I opened it with full expectation: Chapter 15. Seriously?
