A Match Made in Spite [Showbiz]

Title: A Match Made in Misery [Entertainment Industry] [Complete. Bonus extras will probably start coming out in about a week. For now, only regular extras can be set up.] When Gu Yanjin and Shao Tingyang first fell in love, one was a director with a modest reputation, while the other was still a college student working to cover his living expenses. Before they knew it, five years of marriage had passed. Gu Yanjin had swept the country's major film awards, and Shao Tingyang had become a famous actor with fifty million fans. "Let's get divorced," Shao Tingyang said. "We're incompatible." Gu Yanjin scoffed. What kind of bullshit was that? They'd been married for five years, and only now he realized they were incompatible? What had they been doing all those previous years? So one insisted on divorcing, while the other refused to budge. They fought for over half a year, glaring at each other as if they couldn't stand the sight of one another. Both felt utterly fed up with their life together. Fine, then. If they were getting divorced, they might as well head straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the paperwork done. Once they had their divorce certificates, things got easy. Both of them finally settled down. · A few months after the divorce, neither of them expected to meet again on a variety show. Shao Tingyang greeted him politely. "Good to see you, Director Gu." Director Gu put on a fake smile, too. "Xiao Shao, long time no see." They both pretended they hardly knew each other, but the sparks were flying. Eventually, everyone could see it. But there was nothing anyone could do about it, so they could only shut their eyes and watch the two of them put on a show of civility. ...Wait, do these two have some kind of grudge or something? Could you please go outside and fight already? No one expected that after the show aired, their ship would inexplicably become popular. "You people lack imagination. I've never seen a ship go so hard at avoiding each other that they end up losing it. This is delicious." "This is hilarious. I really found a divorced couple to ship. They have that gloomy, love-turned-to-hate vibe. You know what I mean." "If you two would just kiss each other once, neither of you would be so stubborn." Gu Yanjin: ...? We're divorced already. What are you shipping us for? What's there to ship? Shao Tingyang: I don't think it's entirely out of the question. Theme: Give sincerity in return for sincerity. Communication is the best way to express love.
