[A captivating, glamorous queen of playing villains vs. the nation's beloved, old-school actor. Weibo: @Jinjiang Mu Xiaobu]
Lin Mi is a specialist in playing villains. Her acting is so brilliant that people can't separate her from her characters, and she often gets sent razor blades in the mail.
Jiang Yuzhou is an old-school actor whose upright image is deeply ingrained in people's minds. Millions of internet users hail him as the nation's ideal husband.
Three years ago, Lin Mi and Jiang Yuzhou married by agreement. Their announcement sent shockwaves across the internet.
One was a glamorous black rose, the other a tranquil, ink-washed celestial being.
From looks and temperament to the roles they played, they seemed mismatched in every way. Internet users voted them the hardest couple in showbiz to ship.
Three years later, their agreement expired. On the day they divorced, Lin Mi and Jiang Yuzhou emerged from the Civil Affairs Bureau beneath a sky darkened by clouds, with gale-force winds all around them.
The mood was perfectly set. Looking at the green booklet in her hand, Lin Mi sighed with relief. "Finally, I'm free."
Jiang Yuzhou nodded in agreement. "You can say that again."
Lin Mi: "Now your fans won't DM me anymore to call me names and say I'm riding on your coattails. What a relief."
Jiang Yuzhou: "And your fans won't say in the comments that I'm holding back your career. That's great."
Lin Mi: "Then let's never meet again. I wish you all the best, Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Yuzhou: "Same to you, Teacher Lin."
They turned away in perfect sync, got into their own supercars, and drove off in opposite directions.
Three months after the divorce, Lin Mi joined a dating reality show called Springtime for the Sisters. Jiang Yuzhou was one of the in-studio commentators.
Internet users all said: An ex-husband watching his ex-wife date, with new and old loves gathered in one place. What kind of massive battleground is this? The production crew knows how to stir things up.
For the first two episodes, Jiang Yuzhou was so calm it seemed unbelievable.
That is, until a young actor from their company took Lin Mi up a mountain late at night for a romantic outing, where they braved the cold wind and he poured her a full glass of red wine. Jiang Yuzhou couldn't sit still any longer. He called the young actor right there on set, his voice stern and furious.
"Your former sister-in-law has a cold constitution and an alcohol allergy. You didn't even know that. How could I trust you with her?"
Lin Mi, hearing the news: ?
At the next recording, a well-dressed man appeared beside Lin Mi.
"A bad new boyfriend could hurt my ex-wife's reputation, so I have to vet him for Teacher Lin."
Lin Mi draped one arm over Jiang Yuzhou's shoulder, her expression suggestive. "Sure, Teacher Jiang. Remember to tell me when you get a new girlfriend, too. Same reason."
Several days later, an audio recording leaked by paparazzi sent shockwaves across the internet.
"Jiang Yuzhou, I told you to kiss me, not bite me!"
"Sorry, I'm inexperienced at this. Did I hurt you?"
"You must not have watched enough movies... How are you going to make it up to me?"
"Lie down and let me bite you back."
Internet users all said: We're shipping them! The divorced couple is the best couple of all. Please get remarried. We'll pay for the wedding gifts!
