As the first person in the entertainment industry to bankroll her own projects, Zhuang Ji's Dark Night Game series has been called a female-led version of Mission: Impossible. It is filmed all over the world, with a different gorgeous leading man in every installment.
The eagerly anticipated fourth film hadn't even come out when news broke that Zhuang Ji had secretly married. Public records showed her spouse was Shang Yao, the president of Fengxing Group, the company behind Dark Night Game.
But after hours of digging, no one could find a single photo online. Speculation about Zhuang Ji's husband ranged from a wealthy businessman in his forties to an octogenarian, but everyone reached the same conclusion: their marriage was definitely a business arrangement, with not a shred of affection between them.
A month later, a couples' survival reality show invited them to join. A handsome young man with a slender build opened the door and welcomed the crew inside.
The compatibility quiz in the preview episode would decide their fate:
"Do you remember where you first met?"
Zhuang Ji: "Uh..."
Shang Yao: "We've known each other since before we can remember."
"What food does your partner hate most?"
Zhuang Ji: "He... seems to eat just about anything..."
Shang Yao: "Fatty meat, offal, and broccoli."
"What's the date of your anniversary?"
Zhuang Ji and Shang Yao: "..."
"What about your wedding anniversary?"
Shang Yao: "June 20, 2022."
Zhuang Ji kept coasting: "...Yeah, June 20."
"Can you describe what your partner wore at the wedding?"
Zhuang Ji: "Uh... a suit."
Shang Yao smiled. "A white satin wedding dress with a train, and pearls at the neckline."
Their compatibility score came back as zero. Three days later, they were sent off to an ancient village in Qiandongnan.
Staring at the dilapidated earthen house before them, the young couple, both born with silver spoons in their mouths, stood frozen for a long time.
Forced to accept reality, Shang Yao stayed behind to clean the house while Zhuang Ji went out to find out what was going on.
A minute later, she burst through the door and jumped into his arms. "A pig! A pig got out!"
