The CP Everyone Ships Online Came True

News broke that the hit wuxia IP Jianghu was going into production. The role of the refined, aloof senior disciple was, without question, going to the acclaimed actor Yan. But in the heavily shipped senior-and-junior disciple pairing, the junior disciple was unexpectedly cast with an unknown newcomer. Rumors and criticism about him being a pretty face who’d landed the role through shady deals soon ran rampant. Until a behind-the-scenes clip emerged: After the junior disciple’s dramatic revenge and death scene, the actor Yan couldn’t shake off the role. He sat alone on set, his expression icy, while everyone nervously kept their distance. Only the bright-smiling Shen Youchuan, playing the junior disciple, sauntered over and sat down, his hands still smeared with blood, under everyone’s admiring gaze. “Senior Brother, can I borrow a wet wipe?” The chilly Yan slowly raised his eyes. As everyone held their breath in suspense, he personally and meticulously wiped Shen Youchuan’s hands clean. After finishing one hand, then the other, Shen Youchuan handed him the second as well. He took the calming tea his assistant had hurriedly brought over and shoved the straw straight into the mouth of the expressionless, unresponsive Yan Liangzhou. Netizens: W-what’s going on? Why is this kind of adorable? * On a laid-back country-life variety show, Shen Youchuan walked along a village path, “yellow hound in one hand, goose in the other,” excitedly trading songs with the guests ahead. He didn’t notice that his bulging pocket had a hole in it, and things were falling out as he walked. Yan Liangzhou couldn’t bear to spoil his fun by interrupting him, so he bent down and picked things up all the way along the road. Comments: [When has Actor Yan ever bent over like this!] [Damn it! You guys aren’t actually for real, are you?] * When Yan Liangzhou’s life was utterly destroyed in his previous life, he met Shen Youchuan, who had also been dealt a cruel hand by fate but had never given in. Even in his final moments, Shen Youchuan left him a gift of good fortune. After being reborn, Yan Liangzhou looked at the young man, who had yet to be hurt by the world’s filth, and resolved that this time, he would be the one to become Shen Youchuan’s good fortune. As the online cries of “Get together!” grew louder and louder, Yan Liangzhou finally recognized his feelings and confessed. Shen Youchuan propped his chin on one hand, looking relaxed and cheerful as he smiled. “Sure. But, Teacher Yan, could you first tell me who you’ve been looking at through me all this time?” Seemingly carefree but sharp as a tack, with a hint of natural darkness, gong × aloof, beautiful, rich, and pampered shou who turns into a clingy, love-struck hypocrite PS: The gong acts all whimpery on the outside and cackles on the inside (not really). The shou isn’t in the best state of mind (sigh). Shen Youchuan × Yan Liangzhou Third-person narration, mostly from the gong’s perspective; they dote on each other. [Coming soon: The Fake and Real Young Masters Are Staying Together, Please Add It to Your Reading List!] The moment he learned at a family banquet that he was the fake young master, facing the crowd’s mocking, secretly delighted, and fearful gazes, Yong Lulou felt only a sense of relief. At last, he could cast off the muddy shackles of his family and, without a shred of guilt, send a few rotten people to their deaths. Out of sympathy and basic decency, before leaving, he decided to give a hand to the real young master, who was surrounded by wolves without having the slightest idea, and whose eyes were as innocent and warm as a puppy’s. He never expected the puppy to latch onto him. Before long, helping him had turned into taking care of him in bed. The morning after a one-night stand brought on by an accident, Yong Lulou woke up and looked down woodenly at the pair of sparkling puppy eyes resting on his chest. Li Fangjin grimaced as he sat up, holding his back. He pulled Yong Lulou’s head into his arms and declared loudly, “Bro! Don’t worry! I’ll take responsibility for you!” Yong Lulou, caught off guard and forced to bury his face in the puppy’s belly: ... One day, Li Fangjin suddenly asked, “Bro, neither of us knows the exact time we were born, so why am I the one who calls you big brother?” Yong Lulou calmly lifted his gaze from the documents. “So, do you want me to call you big brother?” Li Fangjin jolted, sat bolt upright, and smiled obediently in an instant. “O-of course not. I mean, you deserve to be called Daddy.” Yong Lulou’s temple twitched. He took a deep breath and smiled too. “Fine. I’ll let you call me that to your heart’s content tonight.” Theme: Love gives people the courage to face their fate
