Lin Jinshu is an award-winning national favorite who made his debut on the big screen. Huo Zhirui is a top-tier star who debuted as the center of his group. Their career paths have little overlap, yet everyone knows they can't stand each other.
Lin Jinshu's elegant assessment of Huo Zhirui: "He has the bearing of a tribal chieftain from the Old Stone Age."
Huo Zhirui gave a languid scoff. "A sanctimonious hypocrite. Such a pain in the ass."
Their mutual dislike was blatant. No one knew that the award-winning actor Lin and the top star Huo had grown up together, let alone that their families had forced them into marriage, until a well-known entertainment paparazzo released a series of photos. Their fans went wild.
Photo one: Lin Jinshu and Huo Zhirui walked out of the civil affairs bureau in matching suits, holding their little red marriage certificates. They gazed at each other in the sunlight, smiling like they were about to tear each other apart.
The paparazzo said: Their eyes are full of sweetness.
Photo two: Huo Zhirui bent down to help Lin Jinshu fasten his seat belt.
The paparazzo said: I thought he was going to kiss him.
Photo three: Lin Jinshu and Huo Zhirui went back to Rongyuan together.
The paparazzo said: As everyone knows, top star Huo lives at Rongyuan, while award-winning actor Lin lives at Changyuan.
Lin Jinshu and Huo Zhirui had no choice but to announce their marriage and put on a show, reluctantly.
Lin Jinshu V: It's true.
Huo Zhirui V: Mm.

After the announcement, their public act went smoothly, and offers for joint projects came pouring in.
A couples' variety show, a dual-male-lead movie, a magazine cover together. Lin Jinshu made a surprise appearance at Huo Zhirui's concert, while Huo Zhirui made a high-profile visit to his set...
Just as the fans were gradually accepting that "rivals had become family" and shipping them like crazy, another paparazzo released a video. In it...
Lin Jinshu, calm and composed: We'll divorce as soon as our joint project is over. Don't get any ideas.
Huo Zhirui scoffed: Don't worry. With a face like yours, I can't get it up.
Lin Jinshu: Our marriage must stay secret. Watch what you say in front of the cameras, and don't cause trouble for me.
Huo Zhirui: Likewise.
The fans went completely crazy all over again.
Lin Jinshu pulled out the divorce papers and gave a faint smile. "Perfect."
Huo Zhirui anxiously pinned Lin Jinshu down and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Lin Jinshu, I don't care how many good little paparazzi you've got. Get this straight: for the rest of your life, you belong to me, alive or dead. Pull another stunt and I'll kill you."
After that, Huo Zhirui took a close-up photo of Lin Jinshu and posted it on Weibo.
Huo Zhirui V: Mine [heart]
Lin Jinshu V: Oh.
The wild, brash, domineering, handsome top × the refined, particular hypocrite bottom
