Qi Ye debuted on the strength of his looks and family background. Although he was a newcomer, his family connections gave him access to excellent resources. He fell in love with Wen Ci at first sight on set and pursued him fiercely in private. Wen Ci was kindhearted and eventually gave in, half willingly, half reluctantly. And so Wen Ci became the second male lead.
Qi Ye had only just come of age that year, and Wen Ci was nineteen. They gave each other all their firsts without reservation.
Qi Ye suggested to his company that they promote them as a couple. After all, he and Wen Ci made a good match. The two starred in a danmei drama that became a huge hit.
After that, they often attended events together and acted in films and TV dramas together. Wen Ci became Qi Ye's regular fuck buddy. They grew more and more famous, all while carrying on a secret relationship. This arrangement lasted four years.
