When Shi Xu joined the hottest variety show of the moment while embroiled in scandals, everyone thought she was trying to clear her name. Nobody expected her performance on the show to leave them utterly dumbfounded.

Facing a Best Actress who had won every major award, she said, "Your waist is stiffer than my grandma's cane. You really have to learn to accept your age."

Facing a three-time Golden Melody Award winner, she said, "You've had too many injections. Your facial muscles are stiff. Singing and performing onstage aren't for you."

Facing a top-tier star, she said, "Raising your hand isn't an apology. You still need to practice, girl."

Facing an acclaimed actress from a prestigious family, she said, "Did someone put razor blades down your throat? We're all friends here. Don't say a word."

At first, her haters thought she was acting this way on purpose to attract attention. They even came up with the perfect insults to use against her. Then they realized she was equal-opportunity annihilation.

Simple insults, maximum satisfaction.

Viewers who were used to the social niceties of showbiz ended up becoming fans of her bluntness, and fans of all the various pairings were going wild.

But in the great shipping stew, there was just one pairing no one shipped: Shi Xu and Jian Zhi. Everyone knew how incompatible they were.

During the group variety show after the program ended, everyone gathered to watch a horror movie. The young actress was so scared she lost all composure and burrowed into Jian Zhi's arms. Shi Xu marched over and shoved her aside with her butt.

"Do you even know how to hug her? Move over, let me do it."

Then she naturally snuggled into the actress's arms and blinked like a puppy.

"Big Sister, hug me."

Fans: ?

Viewers: ?!

Fans of every other pairing: ?!!

From then on, the two women's shipping fandom rapidly grew, surpassing the combined numbers of all the other shipping fandoms.

Fans jokingly called them the "love-hate couple," specializing in loving and tormenting each other.

Everyone thought they would keep their distance to avoid rumors, but they became even closer instead. The paparazzi even caught Shi Xu going to Jian Zhi's place late at night and staying for a whole week.

The shipping fans went wild, quickly taking over Weibo supertopics and all the major short-video platforms. Their stats shot to the top, leaving everyone else in the dust.

That night, the number one trending topic was "love-hate couple," and number two was "Spring has come for the shippers."

In the presidential suite on the hotel's top floor, Shi Xu put down her phone, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, and wrapped her arms around Jian Zhi. Pressing her lips to Jian Zhi's ear, she asked, "Big Sister, when will my spring come?"
