[The whole world ships me with my husband, except for me]
[Former ship/current married couple]
[Marriage first, love later / Love grows over time]
[1]
Two years after leaving show business, former top-tier idol Jiang Zhan signed on for a new variety show.
On the day the interview segment was pre-recorded, the other celebrities were promoting new dramas, showing off their kids, and flaunting their relationships.
Her newly hired manager was frantic and offered her a suggestion: "Didn't you get married during those two years? Hurry up and talk about that."
Jiang Zhan told the truth. "For the past two years, I've been home alone every day. They call it a 'widow-style marriage'..."
Before filming officially began, the program's mentor was suddenly replaced by award-winning actor Sheng Yi.
At the news, viewers eagerly grabbed their popcorn.
After all, when Sheng Yi first debuted, he and Jiang Zhan had appeared together on a dating show.
Later, one left show business and got married, while the other switched careers at the peak of his fame. They vanished from public view at almost the same time.
For countless fans, this pairing became a dream that never came true.

At the filming location, everyone's attention was fixed on the man and woman.
Sheng Yi watched Jiang Zhan's interview and slowly darkened his expression.
When the show aired, the comments exploded.
Ship fans: Ahhh, he must be worried about her! He's regretting not confessing his feelings back then!
Male lead's fans: Boo! My guy is clearly embarrassed on someone else's behalf. Using his private life to attract attention is so tacky!
Female lead's fans: Ha, what does any of this have to do with Sheng? He's always trying to attach himself to my sister!
No one expected that...
That night, the tension in their hotel room was even thicker than it was online.
Sheng Yi furrowed his brow and asked, enunciating every word, "A 'widow-style marriage'?"
Jiang Zhan: "..."
Jiang Zhan: "Honey, I was just joking."
