Nan Shu and Tan Jinyan are absolutely the most devastatingly doomed CP in Chinese entertainment.
They both shot to top-tier star status with one film: a breathtaking romance onscreen, and endless public feuding offscreen.
Other couples meet at the top and act all lovey-dovey. These two meet at the top and go for each other's throats, each refusing to acknowledge the other.
Their solo fans cheer, while their CP fans cry, "Mom and Dad, please make up!"
Two years of fan wars aimed at separating them finally came to an end when the news broke: #TanJinyanPhotographedSpendingTheNightAtAHotelWithAWoman#.
No one knew that the mysterious woman photographed at the hotel was Nan Shu.

Their wealthy families had been friends for generations. Under pressure to marry for the sake of an alliance, Nan Shu and Tan Jinyan secretly registered their marriage.
At first, neither of them took the marriage seriously.
When Nan Shu held hands with another man for work,
Tan Jinyan looked on coolly: "Just putting on a show."
When another man swept Nan Shu up in his arms,
Tan Jinyan smiled and applauded: "No sense of style."
When Nan Shu held a rose in her mouth with another man on a variety show,
Tan Jinyan dug up a double-standard sweet-moment edit made by CP fans and gave it a like, causing an uproar.

After getting married, Nan Shu kept up her usual work, giving every onscreen couple equal fan service.
The male lead of her new drama had no decency. He spread rumors that her private life was a mess and that she had a string of boyfriends, throwing public opinion into turmoil.
Backstage at an awards ceremony, Nan Shu and Tan Jinyan passed each other while pretending not to know one another.
A reporter got right in Tan Jinyan's face and asked what he thought about rumors concerning the private life of a former costar.
Rarely, Tan Jinyan let his smile fade in front of the cameras. "I should know my wife better than any of you."
Nan Shu whipped around like a fierce warrior: o.O??
She accidentally stepped on her dress and stumbled backward.
Tan Jinyan reacted quickly and caught her in his arms:
"Your act is so tacky. You pulled the same stunt in the dressing room this morning, deliberately falling into my arms."
Nan Shu: You shameless green tea, you left your collar open just to get me.

Two top-tier stars from wealthy families // enemies-to-lovers marriage // SC
A proud, gorgeous, hilarious woman × a green-tea man who acts like the legitimate husband but is fiercely competitive for her
Neither lead is a good person. They are not based on anyone real. Please don't mention real people.
