A Deceased Couple Reignites Their Love

Immature, awkward, cool-guy gong x gentle, cunning beauty shou

Six years ago, the hottest CP in the Chinese entertainment industry, "Ye Chan," burst onto the scene. Cheng Jiaye and Chi Chan won countless fans and awards with their same-sex film Return to Dreams.

The film had a dark tone and ended in tragedy, making fans pray day and night for a happy ending off-screen, and search for romantic hints in every behind-the-scenes clip, interview, and promotional event.

But the more they shipped them, the more their hearts sank. Award-winning actor Cheng Jiaye was a clueless, completely straight man. He was cold toward Chi Chan's attempts to interact with him for publicity, even avoiding him.

He followed the whole cast on social media, but never followed Chi Chan back.

At promotional events, he deliberately stood diagonally opposite Chi Chan.

When he ran into Chi Chan outside of work and Chi Chan greeted him, he ignored him outright.

He never replied to Chi Chan, even when Chi Chan mentioned him in posts.

Chi Chan chose to announce their relationship at midnight on May 20. Fans were in an uproar, but less than two days later, Cheng Jiaye told the media before an interview that they were only together for work. He publicly humiliated Chi Chan.

The award-winning actor had personally broken up the CP. Now their relationship was truly over, both on and off screen.

For the next six years, "Ye Chan" topped the Chinese entertainment industry's list of most regrettable CPs. Whenever anyone brought them up, all people could do was sigh.

Time passed. The chicken had finished eating the rice, the dog had licked up the noodles, and the CP fans had cried the Great Wall down. Even Chi Chan had announced that he was about to join a dating show.

The handsome actor, so beautiful he looked like an AI-generated model, was asked about Cheng Jiaye in an interview. He only smiled and said, "Teacher? He's just a former colleague."

He always remained gracious. No matter how Cheng Jiaye had embarrassed him back then, he stayed gentle, because he genuinely didn't care.

But on the night the interview aired, fans noticed that Cheng Jiaye had posted an emo lyric on his secret Instagram account, only to delete it right away. Looking more closely, they found that in the Return to Dreams wrap-party photos from three years earlier, every single picture that included Chi Chan had been ruthlessly deleted.

#Cheng Jiaye, triggered#

Nobody knew if Cheng Jiaye was really triggered, but the fans of the long-dead CP came back to life in full force, joining forces to storm Cheng Jiaye's Weibo and Instagram.

"Teacher, don't bring our Xiao Ye to events like this again. Ever since he came back, he hasn't said a word. We thought he'd been ostracized, but it turns out he choked to death on jealousy!"

"How is he triggered? Our Xiao Ye has always been this sensitive little boy! He goes quiet on a show when he hears his ex's name, accidentally likes rumors with strategic finger slips, and gets so restless as soon as his ex goes on a dating show. Our baby has it hard too."

"Actually, if you look back at the old interviews, Xiao Chan really didn't care. Brother Ye was making a mountain out of a molehill and being all weird and resentful..."

"Lord Cheng, I heard you're still unmarried!"

Later, an accident happened during the dating show's filming, and a billboard struck Chi Chan. He was rushed to the hospital. His younger, puppy-like male partner took meticulous care of him, keeping busy at his side. Fans all remarked that remarriage really was better, just look at how caring his second husband was.

But unexpectedly, not long after, the trending searches exploded. On the night Chi Chan was discharged, the award-winning actor showed up at Chi Chan's door fully bundled up in a mask, hat, and scarf, his eyes red from the wind, and shouted, "Baby, please open the door. I'm begging you."

Even when begging, the award-winning actor was still domineering. "Open the damn door and get that bastard out of there!"
