Steadfast and Honest (?) Top-Tier Star & Sharp-Tongued, Proud Little Nobody
You Qing signed on for a travel variety show.
For a little nobody like her, who had been in the industry for five years and still only played the nth-billed character in TV dramas, getting invited to any variety show was like her ancestors' graves smoking with good fortune. But they had actually invited her to be a regular MC?!
Mom, I've made it!
With the mindset that since you invited me, I had to repay you, You Qing took things extremely seriously. On the day of filming, she was in top form, full of energy.
That is, until the legendary mystery guest showed up.
Could someone tell her why the mystery guest was Shi Rui Ci?!
Shi Rui Ci, the entertainment industry's current top-tier star. She had worked her way up through one outstanding project after another, with a spotless record. In her five years since debut, she'd had zero scandals and zero dating rumors, and her fans were fiercely devoted.
During filming, everyone was inevitably afraid of offending her. Everyone except You Qing.
The one who said she'd take filming seriously, then turned into a sharp-tongued heckler the moment she saw Shi Rui Ci.
"Are you an idiot?"
"Your hands are shaking so badly. Do you have Parkinson's or something? If you're sick, go get treated. Don't just tough it out."
"If you don't understand, listen to the teacher. Careful, or you'll expose yourself as a primary school graduate."
"I want that one. Buy it for me."
"You carry this bag. I can't manage it anymore."
The staff were all sweating for You Qing: You're a nobody, not an idiot. Don't you know how fierce a top-tier star's fans can be? If you want to get famous by being controversial, don't pick on Shi Rui Ci!
Everyone thought You Qing was done for. But when the show aired, although topics like #YouQingGetsAwayWithBeingTerrible# #LittleStarThrowsHerWeightAround# #DontMistakeBadMannersForAQuirk# and #EvenBadPublicityIsPublicity# were trending, there were far more posts saying:
#YouQingAndShiRuiCiAreSoShippable#
#ShiRuiCiYoureBeingWayTooFondOfHer#
#YouQingAndShiRuiCiCantYouGetTogetherForMySake#
The Tattoo CP burst onto the scene. Still, some fans disliked You Qing and refused to acknowledge the pairing.
When a reporter asked Shi Rui Ci why You Qing kept picking on her,
Shi Rui Ci was silent for a few seconds, then answered honestly: "Maybe... because I'm her ex-girlfriend."
The fans who had known since Shi Rui Ci's debut that she had an ex-girlfriend: "?"
Was You Qing the so-called ex-wife?
The reporter asked, "Wasn't it awkward seeing You Qing again?"
Shi Rui Ci replied, "I hadn't really thought about it. It's just that I haven't seen her in years, and she's gotten even cuter."
The fans: "..."
A few fans who had been ready to take to their keyboards to defend their idol quietly set them down, then turned around and joined the shippers.
You Qing's name began appearing on the trending topics again and again. Her popularity soared, and invitations to major galas rolled in.
You Qing became a huge star.
But every trending topic seemed to come back to Shi Rui Ci.
You Qing's response: You want me to sell a CP with her?! I'd rather go back to my hometown and sell pigs!
Shi Rui Ci: Hmm? Aren't I your little piggy?
You Qing: ...
Warnings:
1. There will be on-screen comments.
2. Shi Rui Ci is an actress and can date. Everyone knows she has an ex-girlfriend; she has never hidden it.
