The first film that Feng Qi debuted in was with Li Zexuan. They played the lead roles of a couple torn apart by national grievances and personal vendettas, a love story filled with conflict. The film became a hit, spawning a large fanbase of shippers.
At that time, I visited the set, and a scene where Li Zexuan, wearing a wig and heavy costume, knelt down to help me put on my shoes was captured by fans. I was just a minor internet celebrity known for making skits, and before my marriage to Li Zexuan was revealed, many online disapproved of me. The shippers adored Li Zexuan and felt pity for Feng Qi, directing their hatred towards me.
Coincidentally, there was a villainous female supporting character in the film who repeatedly tried to break up the leads and ultimately met her end through Death by Dismemberment. That group of people edited my face onto the villain’s and created various grotesque and bloody videos. I filed a lawsuit against them, but it backfired as they mocked me for trying to ride on the wave of popularity.
Li Zexuan posted on Weibo to support me, but shippers accused him of being coerced by me. Now the production team had invited Feng Qi, clearly aiming to stir up controversy. Everyone present was sharp-witted; regardless of their true feelings, they had to put on a welcoming facade—except for me.
I turned to observe Li Zexuan's expression. If he looked pleased to see Feng Qi, I would immediately bring up divorce. After all these years, all his acting fees and endorsement earnings were deposited into my account; there was no opportunity for asset transfer. I couldn't end up with nothing.
"What's wrong?" Li Zexuan didn’t look at her; he simply reached out and gently pressed on the spot on my head where a pigeon had pecked me. Seeing my pained expression made him slightly smile.
"Weren't you hurt? Let’s go back to the room; I'll apply some medicine for you."
The greetings around us were intentionally ignored, causing Feng Qi's expression to stiffen before she forced a more polite smile. "Zexuan Ge."
Li Zexuan turned to her with an indifferent look. "You’re here."
Just those four words sent the shippers into a frenzy in the comments section.
"Oh my god, why does it feel so heartbreaking? So much to say but only able to avoid your gaze and say 'you’re here.'"
"Lin Yue is just a third-rate internet celebrity with gaudy looks; how can she compare to Feng Qi?"
"The way she looks at him is one of regret for missed opportunities; his gaze towards her is one of love abandoned."
"Can we stop with the absurdity? No matter how unlikable Lin Yue is, she’s still Li Zexuan's wife, protected by our laws."
Feng Qi seemed pleased as she smiled at me. "Yueyue, are you hurt? Go apply some medicine; we have an event tonight."
I ignored her and headed upstairs on my own.
"Lin Yue is so rude; she doesn’t even pretend in front of the camera."
"Feng Qi is coveting her husband; why would she greet her with a smile?"
"Is it really necessary to be so harsh? Feng Qi just said hello; are you that competitive?"
After entering the room, I took out my phone.
My best friend, Xiao Zhi, sent me a message: "Babe, don’t feel wronged. I'm replying to the comments one by one."
I sniffled and replied, "Li Zexuan and I might really be getting a divorce."
"Is it because of Feng Qi?"
"No. It’s just that some things aren’t quite what I imagined."
Just as I finished typing, Li Zexuan pushed the door open and walked in.
I quickly put my phone down. "I’m going to take a shower first."
He nodded. "I brought the ointment. Once you’re ready, I’ll help you apply it."
After finishing my shower, I realized I hadn’t brought any clean clothes, so I had to wrap myself in a towel that barely covered me.
Li Zexuan was standing by the table when he heard the noise and turned around abruptly.
I watched as his ears gradually turned crimson. "Uh... sorry, I forgot to grab some clean clothes."
Li Zexuan fell silent.
After a moment, he softly said, "Don’t... be so polite."
"How about you step outside while I change?"
Li Zexuan stared at me intently, pressed his lips together and nodded before turning to leave the room.
In that instant, his expression seemed oddly pained.
Suddenly, I recalled what those shippers had said and thought of Feng Qi’s earlier appearance. Was this what they meant by the pain of unrequited love and meeting too late?
After dinner, everyone gathered in the large living room of the villa, drinking beer and chatting casually.
As the host, Feng Qi intentionally steered the conversation towards various amusing incidents encountered during filming.
With Chen Xing and Zhao Yu chiming in, everyone joined in with lively banter, creating a warm atmosphere—everyone except me.
The joys of filming and experiences on set were foreign to me; I could only lean against Li Zexuan while drinking and playing with his fingers.
He slightly lowered his head and gently reminded me, "Drink less; you can’t handle your liquor."
As soon as he finished speaking, I deliberately took several big gulps and raised an eyebrow at him triumphantly.
Li Zexuan could only smile helplessly.
The conversation shifted to kissing scenes.
Feng Qi’s face suddenly flushed as she spoke softly, "I’ve never been in a relationship before. When I filmed my first kissing scene, I was really shy and even thought about using a stand-in."
She had considered it but ended up not doing so; she actually kissed him.
It was well-known that her first role after debuting was alongside Li Zexuan.
It didn’t take much imagination to know that the shippers were probably going wild in the comments right now.
I let out a cold laugh as I thought about the few intimate moments Li Zexuan and I had shared.
Five years into our marriage, he had probably kissed me less than he did during filming with Feng Qi.
The sudden irritation made me pull away from his embrace and sit beside Yuning. The comments from the fans in the chat were filled with glee.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Biao must be furious."
"Someone who can't even make it on stage shouldn't complain; if she's unhappy, she should just act."
"LOL, what a fake face, she gives off such a sleazy vibe; she can only play a Nightclub Girl at most."
Feng Qi seemed satisfied with his goal achieved. I couldn't directly confront her, so I sulked and drank heavily instead.
Li Zexuan said lightly, "At first, it's awkward to film kissing scenes, but you get used to it after a while; it's just work."
Yuning watched coldly and suddenly spoke up, "Zexuan and Yueyue got married so early; they must be each other's first loves, right?"
Li Zexuan turned to look at me. I made a face at him, what are you staring at?
Then he suddenly stood up. "Sorry, Yueyue is drunk; I'll take her upstairs." He firmly pulled me over and picked me up. I protested, "Don't say nonsense; I'm not drunk; I can still—"
But the rest of my words were cut off as he leaned down and kissed me.
The chat went wild.
"Ahhh, Lin Biao did that on purpose! I'm so mad; my heart is breaking for Feng Qi."
"I must be out of my mind; I actually think this kiss is sweet."
"Why am I shipping this? Li Zexuan must be worried about Lin Yue saying something inappropriate again."
Li Zexuan avoided the camera as he carried me upstairs and laid me on the bed, covering me with a blanket. I was already too drunk to think straight, touching his face in a daze.
"Handsome, you look like my first love..."
