Meeting the Film Emperor on a Divorce Reality Show

Inn No. 111 is known as the Queen Mother of the variety show world, the Civil Affairs Bureau of food shows, except it only handles divorces.

Guests who appear on the show either get divorced or break up, without exception.

Before the guests for each season are announced, some fans go all out recommending their favorites, while others insist their favorites have nothing to do with the show.

Fans of the couples who actually appear on the show have it rough, but fans who ship couples on the show have it even worse.

When a new season of Inn No. 111 aired, viewers swore they absolutely wouldn't ship anyone this time.

But then they saw the new guests: young actor Lin Yueyi and award-winning actor Xie Yanchuan.

On the surface, they acted like strangers, polite and proper. When they first met, one called the other "Teacher Xie," and the other just nodded and said hello.

But no amount of detail escaped the viewers' sharp eyes.

Though it was supposedly their first meeting, Xie Yanchuan knew Lin Yueyi's likes and dislikes very well. Every day, he asked, "Where's Lin Yueyi?" like he was clocking in.

Their mouths said they weren't close, but their eyes were holding hands.

Xie Yanchuan: Resting his chin on his hand, staring.

Lin Yueyi (doubting himself): Who is he? How does he know so much? What does he want?

Viewers: Help me up, I can still ship them!

Meanwhile, the shippers were just like the stars themselves: one thing to their faces, another behind their backs. They started a betting pool on the fan forum.

Shippers: Place your bets! When will Lin Yueyi and Xie Yanchuan break up?

Shippers: Look at it another way. If they can break up, it proves they had a past! Come on, break up already, power!

Xie Yanchuan, secretly lurking: Let's not, thanks!

After finally escaping the wealthy family he'd been born into, Xie Yanchuan disappeared for six years. The first thing he did when he came back was hit on (not really) Lin Yueyi, who'd been kidnapped because of him back then.

He made an online account to secretly check in on him and send him little tokens of affection, intending to leave it at that.

But then, by accident, he appeared on a variety show with Lin Yueyi.

And then, by accident, they got shippers.

Xie Yanchuan was cool as a cucumber and not worried at all. Go ahead and ship them. Every sweet moment you're enjoying now will become tears later.

After all, Inn No. 111, the industry's divorce office, never closes!

But then, by yet another accident...

Xie Yanchuan used an alt account to ask on the fan forum:

Do Xie and Lin actually have a chance?

When will the bizarre rumors about Inn No. 111 finally die down?

So, how exactly is Xie Yanchuan supposed to pursue Lin Yueyi?
