Superstar Luo Binghe au. All the directors beg him to be in their movies because his fame will immediately assure success for anything they make. Heโs handsome, charming, dedicated, and most of all, extremely talented. He even does his own stunts!! Women love him, and men who say they hate him will still watch his movies so they can figure out how to be more like him.ย
The only weird thing about Binghe as an actor is that he refuses to star in romantic films. He wonโt kiss anyone, wonโt pretend to date someone on screen, wonโt even let another actor take over his role for the scenes he doesnโt want to do. His reason? Heโs completely loyal to his husband.
Everyone thinks itโs stupid, obviously. You arenโt โcheatingโ by pretending to love someone else, itโs literally your job! Luo Binghe still refuses and says even heโs not good enough an actor to make anyone believe he could ever love someone other than Yuan-ge.
His fans hate this mysterious Yuan-ge. Because of his (probably insecure and jealous) spouse, all of Bingheโs fangirls cant see him sweep some y/n character off their feet. Itโs even worse because they donโt know anything about this guy. Whenever someone asks to see or learn about Bingheโs husband, the star says heโll never reveal Yuan-ge to the public, because heโs too beautiful and he doesnโt want everyone falling in love with him.ย
People kind of run with the idea that obviously this guy must be a total weirdo who Binghe is embarrassed to be seen with. That has to be the explanation, because no matter how perfect someone is, how can they have such a chokehold on THE LUO BINGHE??
Then, one day, years after Luo Bingheโs initial rise to fameโฆ. He goes on a talkshow. With his husband Shen Yuan.ย
Obviously EVERYONE tunes in. No one uses TVs anymore bc of the internet, but just for this show, viewer ratings are the highest theyve ever been. Everyone wants to know what the fuss is all about with this guy to have Luo Binghe so down horrible.ย
And Shen Yuan isnโt a weirdo. Heโs also not some pretty yesman. He makes jokes that make the audience burst into laughter. Heโs opinionated, which is really refreshing when every other celebrity stays neutral on every topic to avoid losing fans. Heโs polite, but heโs not a pushover. Heโs likeable, but heโs not a try-hard about it. Referencing memes makes him an instant hit with the younger generations, and the calm gentle way he talks makes him a hit with the older ones. All of a sudden everyone is going, okay we see why Luo Binghe is obsessed with him.ย
Exceptโฆ while shen yuan was making jokes and charming everyone, Luo Binghe was at his side, pathetically pawing at his husband for attention. The actor keeps whining every two minutes to be reassured yuan-ge still likes him. Whenever Shen Yuan compliments the host, Binghe looks like heโs about to cry. Whenever Luo Binghe jealously wraps his arms around shen Yuan everyone watching just rolls their eyes.ย Seeing them together people realizeโฆ shen yuan is the one thatโs out of Luo Bingheโs league.
In just one hour public opinion goes from โno one can be worth binghe acting like that forโ to โluo binghe is so annoying, let shen yuan talk!!โย
The next day someone finds shen yuanโs twitter and it blows up. He has his own fan pages now. Thereโs no pictures of him online other than the footage from the talkshow, so the fan accounts just post that over and over again. Shen yuan retweets a post about him with the caption โi never realized she was holding a plate of corn in this sceneโ and everyone loses their mind. Everything he says immediately goes viral bc thatโs luo bingheโs attic wife.
People start nagging Binghe to post about Shen Yuan bc theyre so attached after his one and only publicized appearance. Binghe is super possessive, but yuan-ge tells him not to worry, so he relents and posts pictures of him and shen yuan on vacation. Theyโre together, holding handsโฆ but shen yuanโs face and body are blurred out. Itโs HORRIFYING. He looks like an eldritch monster bc luo binghe refuses to let anyone look at his yuan-ge in a swim suit, go away you perverts!! His instragram is now just full of pics of shen yuan where his eyes are blacked out so noone else can see how pretty they are. Itโs nightmare fuel
Shen Yuan is unfortunately too unbothered to post pictures of himself. Everyoneโs tired of Luo Binghe for โhogging shen yuan all to himselfโ when Shen Yuan is practically an internet celebrity now.ย
People go to watch movies and their theatre conversations sound like this:
โOh, Luo Bingheโs in this one!โ
โYou know Shen Yuanโs annoying husband?โ
