Top-tier star Xiang Zhizhou's new drama premiered, with fellow top-tier star Lin Su as the female lead.
Even before filming began, this drama starring two top-tier stars had already dominated the trending searches. After it aired, it went on to break one viewing record after another.
The two worked hard to promote the show, but sharp-eyed netizens noticed something was up.
Netizen: "Xiang Zhizhou looks at Lin Su so tenderly, it's practically dripping with affection. He keeps calling her 'sis' so sweetly! There's definitely something going on between them!"
Xiang Zhizhou replied: [I'm shipping my own CP too.]
Lin Su also commented: [A CP this sweet is too good to miss.]
It was the first time in the Chinese entertainment industry that the stars themselves had joined in shipping their own CP.
Xiang Zhizhou and Lin Su became the hottest CP around.
During the livestream of the drama's wrap party, netizens urged them to work together again while the buzz was still hot.
Lin Su glanced at the person beside her, her tone thoroughly unkind. "My schedule's already been set for what's next. I can't get out of it."
Xiang Zhizhou put on a coy, innocent act. "If you don't want to, Sis, there's nothing I can do."
After that, every time Xiang Zhizhou said something, Lin Su snapped back. When Lin Su reached for a dish, Xiang Zhizhou spun the lazy Susan. The two acted like oil and water at the dinner table.
Netizens: "They're actually this hostile in private? The drama just ended, and now they're publicly tearing apart their CP themselves."
From then on, fans all knew the two couldn't stand each other.
Until one day, paparazzi photographed them leaving the civil affairs bureau.
Lin Su was leaning against Xiang Zhizhou's shoulder, holding up two red marriage certificates for a photo. They looked completely in love.
Netizens: "Holy crap, they got married?"
"One second they're refusing to work together again, the next they're heading to the bridal chamber?"
That day, Weibo's servers crashed.
Xiang Zhizhou posted a photo of their marriage certificate: [I've got my marriage license and reported for duty. Let me introduce my wife, @Lin Su.]
Netizens: "Why did you two refuse to work together again back then?"
Lin Su replied: "We argued during the honeymoon phase and I said I wouldn't talk to him. He was throwing a tantrum at me."
Netizens: "…"
