Lin Yan refused without even thinking. “I’m currently on the rise now, and you’ve caused others to think badly on our relationship. What marriage? Which popular newcomer do you see getting married? Are you even thinking about me?”

Liu Jie was not content. In the last life, Lin Yan and Qiao Zixin got married at the end of this year. Lin Yan won the best male award for his movie and proposed to Qiao Zixin in public. After getting married, he often posed for photos with Qiao Zixin. Qiao Zixin also withdrew from the entertainment circle after getting married and had his son. But when it came to her, Lin Yan had this kind of attitude?

Liu Jie secretly took a deep breath, bowed her head and spoke in a somewhat lost voice: “You always misunderstand me. I am being scolded so badly by your fans. If I marry you at this time, I will certainly be scolded even more. What good can I do? I’m saying this just for your sake. Many people on the Internet have accused you of not taking responsibility for me. You have to stand up and show your attitude. But innocuous clarification won’t work at all, and those photos will certainly become a part of our scandal history.”

Lin Yan nodded thoughtfully, “Oh, so you mean getting married as a sign of true love?”

“Yes, and fame alone can’t last long. You are now filming ‘Double Agent’, which can be regarded as a piece of art. Isn’t it just the right time to set up short-term the image of you being a good man? Everyone will think that you’re different from other newcomers, and you are likely to make a successful transformation. As long as we seem to be a loving couple, your good man image will absolutely please people over a long period of time. ” Liu Jie wiped her tears, sat down on the side of the single-seater sofa, and whispered, “Do you also think, like your agent, that I am just with you for fame? I’ll only be able to take fewer jobs after getting married, have to put family first, and quit showbiz.”

Lin Yan’s heart was touched greatly, and his expression softened. He drew Liu Jie to his side, hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. He laughed, “Fool, why would I think that? It’s just that I’ve been bored and in a bad mood these days. Don’t be angry. In fact, you’re right, everyone likes unswerving love. As long as we love each other with kindness and gentleness, everyone will think that these photos are fake in the future. Because we are each other’s first love since our freshman year and can be regarded as living a real-life romantic fairy tale. Many people are willing to believe in fairy tales.”

Most of the fans are girls, of course, they like the ‘wife-protecting fanatic’ type who is affectionate and single-minded. As long as they portray this image, fans will automatically filter out the information they don’t want to believe and instead believe in them. This is indeed the best way now, otherwise, they would be powerless to do anything in the future.

Lin Yan called his agent and told him his plan after he decided on it. His agent thought he was blind. He didn’t want a nice person like Qiao Zixin, but Liu Jie, the scheming green tea b***h. However, as soon as his agent advised Lin Yan, he had to listen to his impatient voice. He swallowed his words silently and told the company according to Lin Yan’s will.

Lin Yan was an entertainer under Xingchen Entertainment and Xingchen’s new cash cow. Now that things had turned out like this, the public relations department did not have a good plan in place either. Just as the two wished, they let him marry and have a good man and a good father image, so that he can go further in the circle.

Soon Liu Jie became Mrs. Lin contentedly. Both of them were busy with their work and didn’t have a wedding, but they posted their red books on Weibo. Fans of both sides immediately boiled! They were in full swing. Why did the two suddenly get married? Wasn’t this hitting them in the face? All of the fans were angry in their hearts. Their hearts hurt half to death. Some of them couldn’t stand it. So, they stopped following and became anti-fans.

(TNote: Red book = something like a family registry/’legal proof of marriage’ kind of book, usually new couples get them. It looks like a red passport.)

However, after Lin Yan sent a long microblog about their beautiful relationship, many people’s hearts began to be moved by their relationship and new fans who liked their serious relationship joined. The total number of fans of these two people was not insignificant, and they both gave them a beautiful name; ‘First Love Couple’.

[I am very proud of them, and he is very responsible. Our boyfriend is very powerful. I like him very much!]

[Yan Yan turned out to be a reliable and towering tree. To spoil your wife like this is really a clean act in the entertainment circle. For small fresh meat, getting married is not something just anyone can do. There is no doubt about their true love. I hope the ‘first love couple’ will stay together for a long time.]

[So those scandals are fake? The two have a good relationship. If they are true, and they are with each other, how can they still get married in such a loving way? Impossible! So those must be from someone who wanted to hurt them]

[I believe in love again! When they were 18 years old, both of them were each other’s first love. When they entered the entertainment circle, they were not captivated by the world of flowers. They still loved each other so much. They couldn’t leave each other in the face of turmoil. My God, I want to fall in love! The ‘first love couple’ have to be together for a lifetime!]

[Liu Liu is a treasured faithful wife, our newly-promoted flower has no status and is easily bullied, but she has a good husband who is popular and will protect his wife. Are those who spread scandals about Liu Liu just jealous and angry?]

[Do you really believe them? The photo is there. I don’t believe what they both say. They are both just rotten apples. They are just right for each other.]

[Comment above, go away! It’s already been clarified 800 times and it’s said and done. You must be a water army member. Did you make a good profit of 50 cents?]

[No fan battles, no scandals. I hope it can stop this time, no matter what happened before, now that they are married, I hope these two will be able to live and cherish each other.]

As soon as Lin Yan and Liu Jie got married, the online hostility came to an abrupt end. Some stopped being fans, some questioned, some saw through it and did not speak. In short, all the other voices disappeared and lost interest in them, and the rest were just blessings from fans, which became the new hot topic, this time in the name of husband and wife, they established a positive image.

Qiao Zixin now had a calm view on online comments, so she would occasionally browse Weibo for new news. When she saw Lin Yan and Liu Jie ‘s marriage book, she was really stunned and froze for a while. Xu Zifan looked at her and raised his eyebrows. “Why? Can’t let him go?”

“No, I just thought that the gap between these two people was really big. When I was with Lin Yan, he would always say that he would not make our relationship public, he wouldn’t even take a photo. Now when it came to Liu Jie, they not only made it public, they directly got married. If they are such a loving couple, why did he chase me at the beginning?”

“What else? He used you to get fame. Now that he’s popular, he can stand on his own. Just in time for his ‘first love’ to look back at him and satisfy his vanity. Of course, seeing you is not pleasing to him. This kind of person is not worth thinking about.”

“Well, at least I know that it’s true that he was kept for two years. It’s disgusting to think about.” Qiao Zixin shrugged her shoulder and logged out of Weibo. She smiled at Xu Zifan. “Thank you. I think they would be very happy in marriage. They are just right for each other. They won’t need to harm others anymore.”

Xu Zifan looked at her helplessly. “Don’t say thank you any more, I am your agent now, this is what I should do, don’t be so polite. Come on, look at this script. This is the initial choice. If you think there’s no problems with it, we will be ready to start shooting. “

They both found many scripts these past few days, but they didn’t think those were brilliant enough. Moreover, their current contacts didn’t have access to well-known screenwriters and big intellectual properties, so their option pool was much smaller. Currently, Xu Zifan found a novel on Jinjiang Novel Site, and the score was not very good. However, he thought that the integrity of the story was very high and the setting was very good. The film adaptation should be very suitable for Qiao Zixin’s come back.

(TNote: Jinjiang Literature is a real novel reading site from China, you may have come across it if you like to read Chinese novels, they rate books by scores or stars from readers.)

The novel was about the recovery of abducted children. The heroine was cowardly at first and was often subjected to domestic violence. One time her husband was drunk and wounded her head. Her four-year-old son was frightened when he saw it, he ran out crying. As a result, he disappeared. The heroine was devastated by the loss of her son. Unable to find her son, she got into a big fight with her husband, and after divorce, she began to search for her son on her own.

She had no money and no education, so she took three odd jobs a day. Then, she printed leaflets and distributed them everywhere. Searching for any magazine and television station she could find and begged them to help find her son. At first, everyone sympathized with her and helped her, but there was no news of the child, and gradually people stopped paying attention to her. Some people even took advantage of fake news to deceive her. She saved money frugally. Even if she was cheated, she would still believe the next person that came. She didn’t want to miss the tiniest possibility of finding her child.

That was until one time, several men not only cheated her out of her money but also rap*d her in turns. She tried her best to cut them with a knife and ran away. She collapsed and cried again, but suddenly when she had hit rock bottom, she rebounded, becoming stronger and stronger from despair. She joined a ‘search for missing children’ organization, looking for her own son and helping others to find their children. She worked part-time during the day and went to night school, trying hard to learn the skills needed to help others. She often did good deeds and only hoped that the good fortune could be accumulated for her son. As a result, many people were willing to help her keep an eye out for her son because of their good relationship with her, and help spread the news.

Finally, she rescued a little girl from a mountain village who was almost abducted and learned from the little girl that there was a foreign child in their village who looked like her son. In five years, a child could change greatly, and the little girl was not familiar with the foreign child and was not very sure. However, the mother did not dare to neglect any tiny fact. She immediately asked for a long vacation to prepare for a visit to the mountain village. The unit dismissed her for taking a long vacation, and she believed she was no longer vulnerable and believed she could solve any difficulty. A woman who is a mother is strong, which was interpreted incisively and vividly through her.

After that, she did find her son in the mountain village. Her son was nine years old, but he looked malnourished. She knew from the little girl that the family bought her son from human traffickers because they could not have a child. However in the end, they gave birth to a son the next year, and the adoptive mother held a bad attitude towards her son. She made him do all the hard work and did not give him enough to eat.

The woman went to negotiate with them and failed to exchange money for her son. She was driven out of the village. The police arrested her and found that the badlands police could not handle her. The woman began to expose the evils of the village through various methods and ran into the village secretly to protect her son. After six months of hardships, she finally attracted the attention of the upper class who sent two groups of armed police to the village to rescue all the abducted women and children and she finally reunited with her son.

After that, the woman did not stop what she had been doing for many years. She devoted her life to cracking down on criminals who abducted and trafficked women and children, founded a non-governmental organization to help women and children, trained her son into an outstanding talent, and gave back to society with kindness. She became a legendary figure.

Qiao Zixin was silent for a long time after reading the novel; she could not get out of her depressed mood. This novel reflected a real problem, the problem that everyone was powerless. She had never acted in this type of drama before. Not to mention that the early image of the heroine was not bright, but depressed, miserable, crazy, and on the verge of collapse… All the things that she had never came into contact with before. This kind of script pays more attention to psychological drama and must be performed with tension to move people, to make people cry, to make people feel, to make people think, it was very difficult to act out.

After suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, Qiao Zixin looked up at Xu Zifan, “I want to play this character. No matter how it does in the box office, I want to do it, and I want to do it well.”
