Xie Jiaojiao debuted as a member of a girl group six years ago. She has stayed popular ever since, and is famous as an idol with no flaws.
That reputation extends beyond her flawless singing and dancing onstage and impeccable expression control. She is just as flawless in how she deals with people offstage and in her romantic life.
Eighteen paparazzi could follow her around and still fail to dig up a single scandal.
Until one utterly unremarkable afternoon, award-winning actress Wang Tong posted a message on Weibo.
[ Xie Jiao! If you've got the nerve, stop blocking me! Are we still together or not? If not, let's break up! @Xie Jiaojiao ]
The gossip-hungry crowd perked up and rushed over at the first hint of drama, crashing the servers.
#The Biggest Scandal of the Year! Oscar-Winning Actress and Top Idol Tear Each Other Apart! Public Breakup Showdown!#
Gossip Fan 1: And I didn't even know when they blocked each other.
Gossip Fan 2: And I didn't even know when they started dating.
Gossip Fan 3: And I didn't even know when they met.
With all eyes on her, Xie Jiaojiao posted twice in a row.
[We broke up a year ago. Could you please stop coming to me every time you wake up from a nightmare?]

[Our daughter is asleep. I post a new photo of her once a week. If you want to see her, check my Weibo. Stop sending me private messages. I've blocked you on Weibo too, so use an alt account.]

Wang Tong admits that she's a terrible person.
Apart from being good enough at acting to win a Golden Globe, she's good for nothing. Apart from a little pleasure in the moment, she has nothing.
When she first pursued Xie Jiaojiao, she was lying when she said they'd be together forever.
But skipping the Best Actress awards ceremony to take her to see the ocean was real. So was giving her a precious Evil God's eye to skip across the water, and rounding up ten vampires to play a haunted-castle adventure with her.
Having to see you when I wake from a nightmare was real.
Telling you I love you before my SAN value hit zero was real.

No infinite-flow game arcs, just realistic romance. Not scary.
