After Marrying the Actress Who Was My White Moonlight by Contract

Shen Shengsheng, newly crowned Best TV Actress, the queen of variety-show comedy, and a top-tier star at the height of her fame. Her hit dramas dominate the screens, and the slightest bit of activity sends her soaring up the trending charts.

Si Si, a former child star and double Best Actress winner, is the entertainment industry's beloved moonlight. After making her name, she mostly stepped away from acting, taking a laid-back approach to choosing roles and making appearances.

Five years ago, newcomer Shen Shengsheng got incredibly lucky and starred alongside Best Actress Si Si in the same major-IP drama. She shot to fame with her outstanding performance, but because she was accused of "shipping herself" with Si Si, she was branded a clout-chaser and torn apart by Si Si's then-rampant fans, the "Luosifen."

Though Shen Shengsheng's fans, the "Sashimi," were still young and naive and mostly took the abuse without fighting back, the two fanbases ended up becoming bitter enemies.

The two actresses themselves never worked together again.

Five years later, Si Si is laid-back, and her fans are too. The old fans have been replaced several times over. The fandom is peaceful, with no arguments or fan wars, and everyone waits eagerly for Si Si to make an appearance.

Meanwhile, Shen Shengsheng has transformed into a top-tier star.

So when Si Si accepted an invitation to appear as a guest on Shen Shengsheng's regular variety show...

Sashimi, still holding a grudge: Heh. Shengsheng is a star now, and your washed-up actress could never measure up to her.

Luosifen, can't be bothered to fight: Sob, sob... As long as she's active, that's all that matters! As long as she's active!

Fans of the ship from the tiniest corner of the fandom, celebrating New Year: !!!

Everyone in the industry knows that Si Si is an immersive, method-style actor. The upside is that she becomes whatever she plays. The downside is that she gets too deep into character and struggles to come out of it.

But no one knows that after finishing that major-IP drama, Si Si married Shen Shengsheng in a marriage of convenience.

Shen Shengsheng always thought Si Si couldn't move on from her role, and was loving her as the character she'd played in the drama.

Later, she realized she was wrong:

"The moon she had desperately chased, so distant and unreachable, had long since bathed her in its pure light."

During the years she was secretly married to the Best Actress, Shen Shengsheng had to bear a lot.

Dodging paparazzi, suppressing trending topics, and putting up with the Best Actress eating luosifen.

At first, Shen Shengsheng refused with all her might. Later, jealous of that horde of luosifen-loving fans, she tried some luosifen to get back at them.

Ah, it's delicious!

During the years she was secretly married to the Best TV Actress, Si Si had to bear a lot.

Dodging paparazzi, suppressing trending topics, and helping the Best TV Actress fulfill her dream of taking photographs.

The Best TV Actress wrote her own scripts and pouted and pleaded with Si Si to pose for her. Then she kept the beautiful photos to herself and casually posted the scripts in their tiny ship's fan forum, being a saint and bringing joy to the masses.

At first, Si Si thought it was too much trouble. But the Best TV Actress used her cool, elegant face to act cute and even called her "sis"...

How could anyone resist that?
