01
An acting workshop variety show was turned down by movie emperor Jiang Qinzhou, who didn't think much of it.
Later, a clip from a promotional interview went viral and broke out of its niche.
In the video, a man named He Yi was aloof and taciturn.
At the very end of the interview, the director asked off camera, “Which teacher in the industry do you most want to work with?”
He Yi lowered his eyes and smiled. “I want to work with Teacher Jiang Qinzhou.”
“...I've liked Teacher Jiang for many years.”
When the video reached Jiang Qinzhou, he was furiously arguing with haters from a burner account.
After three hundred rounds, he won the argument but still wasn't happy.
That damned He Yi.
He was the ex-boyfriend who had once stabbed him in the back.
A jerk like that belonged in the trash, lying there dead.
But Jiang Qinzhou had found something more entertaining to do. He sneered and called the director.
He'd take the gig.

The variety show premiered.
Jiang Qinzhou made no effort to hide his irritation, openly mocking He Yi and throwing shade at him.
But He Yi stayed good-natured, responding to every single thing he said. His double standard couldn't have been clearer.
With everyone else: “Mm. Okay. No.”
With Teacher Jiang: “Are you cold? Are you hungry? You don't like sleeping on your right side, so you can have the bed on the left...”
The dedicated fans and CP fans, who were at each other's throats over every little thing: silent.
Casual viewers: Wait, He Yi has Teacher Jiang pinned at the top of his WeChat? I'm a fan now!
Later, people dug up more and more.
They even uncovered that the two had dated before.
As behind-the-scenes clips flooded the internet and fans went wild shipping them,
Jiang Qinzhou posted a clarification on Weibo in the early hours of the morning: [We've broken up]
Attached was a meme: a black garbage bag being shoved into a trash can, with the caption “ex-boyfriend” on the bag.
The mockery was downright savage.
The celebrity himself had dismantled the ship. The CP fans wailed, the solo fans rejoiced, and casual viewers gobbled up the crumbs and watched the drama...
Everyone was jumping around, and the whole affair was a lively spectacle.
Just as the buzz started to die down, during a live awards ceremony, in a corner caught by a roaming camera,
Jiang Qinzhou leaned in close to He Yi with a smirk and whispered in his ear, then dragged him into the elevator in a fit of temper.
Inside the glass-walled elevator, the two men, who looked like sworn enemies, kissed passionately.
Everyone watching the livestream: ???
Weren't they supposed to have a bad ending???
So did they confess and get back together after all?!
Only He Yi knew what Jiang Qinzhou had whispered: a knife that pierced the heart without drawing blood.
“Trying to use underhanded tricks to steal resources again? Why not just get back together with me?”
“Three months. The male lead in this drama is yours. What do you say?”
tip: No real-life basis. Don't read into it.
At heart, it's a sweet little bedtime story~
