Among the newly crowned “Four Young Dan Actresses,” Qin Lan and Jiang Yan are the most famous rivals in the entertainment industry. Their styles are similar, and their fans are constantly comparing them, dragging one to lift the other, and fighting incessantly.
The stars themselves harbor a hatred as deep as the sea. Rumor has it that back in university, they fought over a single meal in the cafeteria, stole each other’s suitors, sent out smear campaigns to blacken each other’s names, and even got into physical hair-pulling brawls on film sets.
One day, the blatant fighting suddenly stopped. They moved from open conflict to a state of “never speaking again.” While fans speculated on the cause, the truth was hidden in a hotel room where one of them sighed: How do you deal with accidentally sleeping with your archnemesis?
A nemesis is a nemesis, after all. A nemesis cannot become a wife. If she becomes your wife, you can’t snatch her roles or her endorsements anymore. If she becomes your wife, you can only crawl into the “bed of love and lust” together at night…
Qin Lan was determined never to crawl into that bed with that dead woman again. She slapped down a stack of bank cards: “Woman, take this money and get out.” Jiang Yan sneered, threw the cards back in her face, dressed, and walked away.
Three years later, while Qin Lan is auditioning, Jiang Yan suddenly storms in and steals her role. The two face off again for the first time in years. Qin Lan curses: “Didn’t we agree never to meet again?”
Jiang Yan pins her against the wall: “I regretted it. I want to crawl into the ‘bed of love and lust’ with you tonight.”
As the “solo fans” of both sides were busy fighting, they suddenly realized something was wrong with their idols. It looked as if… through all that hating, they had fallen in love.
While the fans screamed, crawled, and hissed in despair, the idols were busy collaborating, collaborating, and collaborating. They filmed intimate scenes in dramas, shared deep kisses in movies, and gazed longingly at each other on variety shows.
While the fans twitched and growled in denial, the idols walked red carpets together, made finger-hearts at each other, and stood on award stages side-by-side.
Just when the fans were at their wits’ end, news broke that Qin Lan and Jiang Yan had allegedly broken up. Within a week, Jiang Yan was seen out with eight different directors and producers, while Qin Lan was photographed at a bar sharing drinks with a blonde model.
The heartbroken fans finally posted: “Stop it, babies! We agree to you being with that woman, okay? Just stop!”
On that night when thousands of fans were heartbroken, Empress Qin picked up the microphone: “Let me introduce the lady beside me, Ms. Jiang. Former archnemesis, current girlfriend.”
Jiang Yan took the mic: “And I’ll introduce Teacher Qin. Former crush, current wife.”
