This Darned Couple Chemistry

Ying Shisheng, a well-known rising star.

Jiang Lin, a top-tier star.

In real life, they have nothing to do with each other. Their only connection is a photo of them captured passing each other backstage at a charity gala.

But fan editors have already paired them up 108 times:

Domineering CEO x sweet, delicate wife

Undercover agent biding his time x villain's daughter

General who guards the nation x power-wielding princess

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, every imaginable CP has been put together, starring in a tragic and beautiful love story spanning three lifetimes.

All because their looks and aura are an exceptionally good match, and... that damn CP chemistry!

When rumors unexpectedly spread and CP fans clamored for them to work together, they each responded:

Ying Shisheng: "I really like Teacher Jiang's work, but I'm still single."

Jiang Lin helped clear things up: "I hope we get the chance to work together."

Polite yet distant, as if the words "we don't know each other" were written all over their faces.

But in private, Ying Shisheng posted the WeChat account she'd had blocked for eight hundred years and sent over several article links in a row:

"The Ex's Guide to Self-Improvement"

"A Look at My Terrible Ex-Boyfriend"

"Men Who Won't Take No for an Answer Are Pathetic"

The other side didn't reply, only sent her a picture.

It showed the latest comment-control task posted in a paid-troll group:

[They don't suit each other at all. Ying Shisheng, stop trying to ride his coattails, okay? (Five mao per post. Delete the words in parentheses.)]

#What does it feel like to have the best CP chemistry with your ex?#

#What CP chemistry? They look like a married couple#

1. No real-life inspirations, no real-life inspirations, no real-life inspirations. Please don't associate them with real people. (On my knees, thank you.)

2. Lots of forum posts and comment-style sections.

3. The central idea was recorded in October 2020.

A highly upvoted reply to the topic "What's it like when everyone in your family is a teacher?":

Jumping in uninvited. In a word: young love is completely impossible!

As a Mary Sue girl who grew up immersed in all kinds of idol dramas, I've always wanted a passionate and tragic young romance.

But my parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, uncle, and aunt are all teachers. Everyone in my huge family is a teacher except me, and they mercilessly snuff out every sign of young love.

In elementary school, I wanted to draw a picture to show my desk mate how I felt. Before I could give it to him, someone reported me to my mom, who was the homeroom teacher.

In middle school, I planned to confess to the class monitor using the heart-shaped function of Descartes. My dad caught me halfway through, confiscated it, and laughed at me for getting the formula wrong.

In high school, my uncle intercepted the love letter I'd written to the math class representative and passed it along to the Chinese teacher next door as a gift. The result: my uncle got a wife, and his niece is still single to this day.

The unfortunate thing is, all of the above happened to the same person!

Even more unfortunately, he's now my direct supervisor!

Much later, someone stumbled across this post. "So I was just the prop you used to have a passionate and tragic young romance?"

To keep the difficult man from making a big deal out of it, Meng Yining racked her brain for an excuse.

But Cheng Yi calmly said, "Looks like young love never ends well. Good thing I didn't confess to you back then."

Meng Yining: "...What?"
