The entertainment industry is experiencing an earthquake!
Jiang Shenwei, the veteran Movie Queen, and Jian Yu, the notorious “Acting Jinx,” are actually collaborating for the first time in history. Even more shocking? They are playing mother and daughter in a high-tension, “forbidden” stepmother-themed drama.
As soon as the official announcement dropped, the industry went wild. Trending topics like #JiangShenweiHasALateLifeChild and #JianYuIAmFree exploded:
-
1st Floor: “Sister Jiang, playing a mom at your age… isn’t that a bit too realistic? (Crying emoji)” [742 Likes]
-
2nd Floor: “You old woman! You want to play our Yu-bao’s mom? Get in line! You’re just grabbing anyone off the street to claim kin, what kind of wild tactic is this!” [351 Likes]
Weibo instantly turned into a bloody battlefield between fans and haters. To regain control, the crew quickly organized a press conference to clarify one thing: The two actresses are on great terms and enjoying their collaboration.
However, backstage at the press conference… The manager was frantically trying to contact the leads, but they were nowhere to be found. Little did anyone know, they were hidden in the back of the dressing room—
“Be good, don’t hide,” Jiang Shenwei said with a lazy, playful smile. “Jiang… mmm, stop it, we’re going to be late for the press conference.” Jian Yu’s protest was easily silenced. Her carefully applied lipstick was smeared, and in the breathless gaps of their heated exchange, ambiguous traces of moisture stained the corners of her lips.
The manager’s “emergency calls” rang incessantly, but the phone screens only reflected two figures lost in a passionate embrace—Jiang Shenwei’s hand gripping the back of Jian Yu’s neck, and Jian Yu leaning weakly against her, lost in suffocatingly warm kisses.
They were supposed to be “arch-rivals,” yet in this moment, there was nothing but the fire of desire in their eyes.
At the press conference, Jiang Shenwei responded to the reporters’ sharp questions exactly as the script dictated: “Teacher Jian and I have a very good relationship—” “How good?” So good that they can wear the same clothes. Calling her “Mom” on set during the day, and calling her “Mom” in the bedroom at night.
In the “story within a story,” the characters Shen Manci and Su Zhixi have a “Jinjiang-style” stepmother-stepdaughter relationship. There is no blood relation; Shen Manci never officially registered a marriage with Su’s father. The specific details of their connection will be revealed in the text. There is no incestuous relationship, and Su Zhixi is a legal adult.
Jiang Yuan prides herself on being a woman among women, an alpha among alphas, and the ultimate “straight girl powerhouse.” After seeing her niece, Jiang Shenwei, lose all her dignity and composure after getting a wife, Jiang Yuan vowed to remain a career-driven woman. She would be the heroine of her own life, a “Super Strong Woman” who would never let romance dictate her path!
Unexpectedly, she got overtaken on a curve. Chi Yiyuan, a new artist recruited by her company, walked up to her after a cocktail party. She politely handed over her business card and asked, in a tone as casual as buying vegetables at a market: “President Jiang, I was wondering… can I be ‘sponsored’ (hidden rules) by you?”
Jiang Yuan, a woman of principle, showed off her sparkling, diamond-encrusted manicure and replied: “I’m sorry, I’m straight.”
She thought she had successfully defended her rational, “strong female lead” persona. But she didn’t count on Chi Yiyuan being a master chef, a talented artist, and a designer. Chi Yiyuan painted cute cartoons on her nails and designed a cool, badass tattoo for her. Furthermore, Chi Yiyuan was incredible at massages—though her technique felt… different from professional masseuses.
Chi Yiyuan would say mysteriously: “Sister, only I can give you this kind of massage. No one else is allowed.”
It wasn’t until Jiang Yuan accidentally walked in on Jiang Shenwei and Jian Yu “doing it” that she realized the truth. At first, she thought Jiang Shenwei was just giving Jian Yu a massage. She remarked: “That’s normal, Chi Yiyuan massages me all the time too.”
Jiang Shenwei raised an eyebrow and looked at her aunt with a fox-like, mocking smile: “Auntie… back in school, was your sex education taught by a PE teacher?” As Jiang Yuan looked on in confusion, Jiang Shenwei chuckled: “That is definitely not a massage.”
Jiang Yuan’s world collapsed.
