Rising star and award-winning actor Shi Jianshen reached the top at twenty. In just five years in the industry, he has won countless awards. Beyond his superb acting, he is known for his exacting standards and razor-sharp eye. More than one sweet, innocent actress who acted opposite him has been reduced to tears by his criticism, without him uttering a single swear word.
During a crying scene, he would say icily, “That was terrible.”
During a romantic scene, he would remain unmoved. “Are you made of wood?”
When it came to kissing scenes, he would have the other actor replaced outright, without even giving them a close-up.
For his new drama, the hugely popular actress Gu Mian was cast opposite him.
She came from a girl group and, like him, shot to the top as soon as she debuted. She is a powerhouse who won Best Actress for her very first film.
Rumor had it Shi Jianshen was a classically trained actor who despised sweet, innocent actresses who got conceited over their popularity.
The two had no connection off-screen beyond acting together, yet a photo of them posing side by side at an awards ceremony, with their refined-villain couple vibe, went viral.
In the photo, Shi Jianshen looked cool and aloof, his long legs crossed, while Gu Mian stood beside him in a black dress, radiating icy confidence.
Fans went wild for the power-couple pairing, clamoring: [Get together already!!]
A poll even started trending: [Who do you think is more dominant, Shi Jianshen or Gu Mian?]
One commenter said: [Shi Jianshen, probably. He has a reputation for being proper, disciplined, and faithful, with high standards. Even when it comes to Gu Mian, he definitely has the upper hand.]
Someone else said: [But Gu Mian is widely known as the dominant one. In the drama, she plays the one Shi Jianshen has a secret crush on, so in real life, he’s definitely the one on the receiving end.]
Just as the fans were losing all sense of direction over the pairing, a Weibo topic involving Shi Jianshen himself shot up the trending list
Poll: [If they were role-playing, who do you think would be more vicious in a fight, Shi Jianshen or Gu Mian? Nothing explicit, keep it wholesome.]
Shi Jianshen himself voted: [Teacher Gu.]
Fans: What the hell?? Did our favorite accidentally log into the wrong account? What kind of dream scenario is this?
Gu Mian soon replied: [Why are you bringing me into this?]
[Shi Jianshen: Given how much everyone wants to know the truth, I feel obliged to tell you what really happens.]
[Gu Mian: The truth is, ]
Beep! Profanity rejected. Personal attacks are not allowed.
Later, fans not only found out that the two were a real-life couple after filming, but also accidentally caught Gu Mian kissing a gorgeous male star beside a car, the man visiting her on set and quietly holding her hand, and a couple’s diamond ring on his ring finger during a variety show…
At last, the fans asked Shi Jianshen what was up with his matching ring.
The weary-looking man gave a quiet “Oh.” “It belongs to your Teacher Gu.”
Fans: !!!
They were… married!
[When you blossom quietly, the whole world begins to bloom. That is the sound of my heart falling for you.]
Cool and aloof, a foul-mouthed actor who acts tough / A socially fearless, scene-stealing actress
Showbiz / He pursues her / Mutual power couple / Both romantically inexperienced
Theme: Helping each other succeed
Although, I still felt that the ending was a little rushed.
Why not after marriage! ! ! !
After reading it, I feel like two people who are very gentle inside should be together well.

Help, help, it's so sweet that I'm begging for help.
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers~
Ah ah ah it's over. I like it so much.
This is the end, open another one
Finished spreading flowers! ! ! I simply can't get enough of it! I want to look after the teacher to be jealous (?) I like the jealousy package setting so much! ! ! Extra Modo Modo! ! ! ! ! ! !
So fast?, But I think Teacher Shi is still very insecure.
