Second chance romance / Two actors / No real-life inspirations whatsoever, please do not read into reality /
[Everyone's Beloved White Moonlight X Mad Dog Top-Tier Star]
Song Zhuye and Zhong Yining were arguably the most tragically doomed on-screen couple in the entertainment industry.
When they were nineteen, they played a supporting couple in a smash-hit drama. Their incredible chemistry and stunning performances had audiences shipping them like crazy. They even eclipsed the leads and became the undisputed Best Couple of the Year.
Everyone happily waited for them to fall for each other while filming and get together off-screen, but just six months later, they began distancing themselves from the pairing in unspoken agreement.
They unfollowed each other on every social media account, and even mentioning each other's names became taboo at work.
Then Song Zhuye said, "We're not close," in an interview, sending their fans straight to hell and extinguishing their last shred of hope.
…
…
Seven years have passed. There is no trace of either one in the other's life, and they each have other hugely popular pairings now. Their once-bustling fan forum has long since grown quiet, with hardly anyone visiting.
Then one day, the overgrown forum suddenly came back to life.
Post after post flooded in, pushing the "Ming Zhong Zhu Ding" ship forum to the top of the rankings, just like the old days.
It all started when Zhong Yining, who had recently denied false dating rumors, posted a simple photo.

It was a screenshot from Song Zhuye's latest movie.
#Mom, my ship is alive again!!!#
#The original CP is back, everyone move aside#
#Repost this, and even your BE ship can start serving you again after seven years#
#Live long enough and you'll see anything, as long as you're willing to wait#

Zhong Yining finally gave up on Song Zhuye in the third year after their breakup, the day she discovered he had gotten rid of the matching tattoos they got together at nineteen.
She traced the two intertwined initials on her shoulder blade, gritted her teeth, and blocked every one of Song Zhuye's contact details.
But in the fifth year after their breakup, she realized she had been wrong.
Song Zhuye had removed the tattoo from his shoulder blade.
He had it tattooed above his chest, closer to his heart.
