The Fandom's Top Fan Turns Out to Be the Star Themself

Yin Yan writes fanfiction, and he has one rule when writing: the characters must never go out of character! Fictional characters have established personalities, but in real life... who can tell whether the person behind a shiny public image is a saint or a monster? Yin Yan can't resist shipping a popular movie star with someone. He stops writing for two years and joins the entertainment industry, all to find out what this couple is really like. Later, Yin Yan becomes famous. In public, he's an up-and-coming actor known for his talent. In private, he's a legendary RPS real-person shipper in the entertainment industry. The fans who are passionately invested in the ship say: Anything written by Jin Yu Liang Yan is guaranteed to be great! Yin Yan looks at his small account, which has over a hundred thousand followers, and sighs silently. He created it for the ship between movie star Yu Xiangwen and young actor Meng Liang. Only after entering the industry did he learn how vicious people could be. The so-called couple was nothing but one-sided publicity from Meng Liang's team. So "Jin Yu Liang Yan" has never published fanfiction about Yu Xiangwen x Meng Liang. Nobody knows what the ID originally meant. They just think he's a kindhearted multi-shipper who serves up a little something for everyone. Until one day, Yin Yan becomes fodder for someone else's matchmaking edits. A fan editor named "Full and Warm, Then Thinking of Yin and Yu" appears out of nowhere. Skilled and quiet, they single-handedly make the "Literary Language" ship famous. The fun-loving shippers who ship everyone: This is so good! I love it! More, please, editor! The shippers: Wait! Jin Yu Liang Yan is also the name of this ship! @Jin Yu Liang Yan, please write something! We're begging you! Yin Yan opens the flood of notifications and sees his and Yu Xiangwen's faces in a slickly edited video. Yin Yan: ... Yin Yan: We're not close. Really, we're not. In his three years in the industry, Yin Yan has only seen Yu Xiangwen twice. He silently closes the absurd ship edit, then opens it again a little later. One more look. Yin Yan: ...Maybe this ship is kind of good. Later, thanks to a divine fan editor's work, the ship that won over countless fans finally ends up on the same variety show. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Xiangwen walks calmly over to Yin Yan and says evenly, "Hi, wife." Yin Yan: ... The shippers watching on-screen: !!?? (OOC: Out of character) (RPS: A real-person ship) (Real-life setting fanfiction: A work based on real-life circumstances) A naturally absent-minded homebody shou who randomly switches between social anxiety and being outgoing x a smoldering movie-star gong who chooses to die of embarrassment rather than be social Reader's Guide: 1. One-on-one romance, double secret identities. Yu Xiangwen is the fan editor "Full and Warm, Then Thinking of Yin and Yu." Everything was planned from the start! (His thought process is abnormal, so don't hold it against him.) 2. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. 3. The shou joins the industry because of the gong, but not actually to ship couples. Meng Liang is just a background passerby with no scenes. The whole story serves the romance between the gong and shou, and the logic is questionable. If you can't keep reading, don't force yourself. You don't have to tell me if you drop it. Thank you~ Preparing to start soon: The Immortal (Classic formula) Powerful yet tragic, obsessive disciple gong x powerful yet tragic, cool and aloof master shou Theme: Face life with a positive attitude and find happiness in the little things.
