The Perfect Hidden Marriage [Entertainment Industry]

RAW  ¦  NU

Synopsis:

1.

NEVER has been together for three years. Despite having plenty of talent, they remain so unpopular that they’ve fallen all the way to the eighteenth tier.

During their first appearance on a variety show, they happen to run into international film emperor Pei Yuxing, who has come to visit the filming set.

As the team leader, Yan Xi steels himself and approaches him to ask for an autograph for his teammate.

“Hello. My teammate really likes you. Could you please give him an autograph?”

Everyone knows that Pei Yuxing never interacts with fans during his private time. The people on set look at Yan Xi with amused expressions, clearly waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Yet Pei Yuxing calmly takes the paper and pen and casually asks,

“What about you? Do you like me?”

—

Pei Yuxing has stood at the very top of the entertainment industry since his debut. He has won countless major awards and is known for being cold, aloof, and unwilling to let anyone get close to him. With a powerful background that makes him impossible to offend, he has made countless people with ulterior motives back away.

The media has even named him the man least likely to ever get married.

Yet one morning, Pei Yuxing posts a photo of his marriage certificate on Weibo. The wedding ring on his ring finger is understated and simple.

The caption reads:

Happy newlywed life.

After his marriage announcement, the news immediately explodes onto the hot searches. Netizens collectively suffer heartbreak, while fans cry their eyes out.

Speculation spreads across the internet. Just who exactly was the newly revealed Mrs. Pei?

Even Yan Xi’s teammates can’t resist gossiping with him about it.

“I heard Teacher Pei and his partner got married for business reasons and only announced it because they were pressured to. Is that true?”

Yan Xi looks at his teammate and answers gently but firmly:

“False”

2.

The variety show Chinese Poetry and Culture Conference becomes a huge hit, and a CP between Yan Xi and the leader of a hugely popular boy group suddenly explodes in popularity. Netizens go crazy shipping them.

Later, during a red-carpet interview, a reporter jokingly asks the film emperor to send his blessings to the two team leaders.

To everyone’s surprise, the usually indifferent Pei Yuxing speaks unusually sternly:

“Artists should focus on improving their abilities. Don’t always think about using hype to attract attention.”

Media: Pei Yuxing harshly criticizes Yan Xi for using hype to climb the ladder!

That night, Yan Xi gently pushes the man away and says flatly,

“Mr. Pei, please have some self-respect. I don’t want to use hype to climb the ladder.”

The man’s voice is low and husky as he leans close to his ear, thick with jealousy.

“Teacher Yan, if you want to stir up a CP with me, I’ll take your position.”

3.

One day, the media photographs Yan Xi stumbling out of Pei Yuxing’s room wearing a bathrobe, the corners of his eyes red and his expression aggrieved. It appears that his attempt to climb into Pei Yuxing’s bed has failed.

The internet immediately erupts with discussion and speculation.

#YanXiTheOtherMan shoots to the top of the hot searches.

Pei Yuxing: False.

Not long afterward, Pei Yuxing makes a surprise appearance at NEVER’s concert.

Amid the uproar, the man stands in the center of the stage and looks at Yan Xi.

“Wishing my love a successful concert. May I forever be blessed with his love.”

The giant screen behind them shows them a close-up.

The two hold hands, and the diamond rings on their ring fingers are exactly the same.
