Chapter 48, Analysis of CP Sweet Moments
The fervor surrounding this inexplicable celebration has grown beyond anyone's wildest imagination.
For several days in a row, the #MorningAndDusk# tag has remained high on the trending list of a well-known fan fiction platform, with related derivative works experiencing an explosive growth.
Tan Xi, one of the behind-the-scenes manipulators, kept his achievements and fame hidden.
As night deepened, she drifted off to sleep in bed, phone in hand. Just as she was about to wake, a piercing scream startled her, jolting her awake.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
My roommate was rolling around on the bed with her phone in her arms, "Our Chaomu CP has finally gone viral! The boys are so amazing, I'm so touched, sob sob..."
Tan Xi stared sleepily at the violently shaking bed frame on the upper bunk.
"You don't... still think Chaomu is some weirdo, do you?" My roommate suddenly poked her head out, waving her phone smugly. "Chaomu is the top star in the old Fu O world now!"
She had been in a state of excitement ever since she discovered the surge in like-minded people that afternoon. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized she had misspoke.
It's common knowledge in the class that Tan Xi likes Fang Yucheng, and she was even obsessed with the "Meng Xiang Cheng Zhen" CP a while ago.
Last time I recommended Chaomu, the other person's expression was unpleasant. Now, directly calling Chaomu a "top star" is like dancing on a landmine.
"Oh no, I didn't mean that top star, I meant..."
"They've really become very popular lately."
Tan Xi unlocked her phone and glanced at the time: "It's just that the fighting power of the two fan groups is not good enough. They don't react in time when something happens."
The roommate, who had been cautious, suddenly lit up and jumped up as if she had discovered a new continent, leaning close to Tan Xi's bedside: "Tell me honestly, have you also fallen for Chaomu?"
"..."
Tan Xi subconsciously looked away: "What are you doing?"
"If you were still like before, you would have gotten angry by now." Her roommate shook her shoulder excitedly. "Since we're all family, I'll share some of my best secrets with you!"
Before Tan Xi could refuse, her phone vibrated; her roommate had forwarded her a link.
//【Morning and Evening】Help! I came here just to gossip and chat, but how did I end up stepping into a pit and not being able to climb out?! (Includes many true stories of being proven wrong and getting slapped in the face)
Tan Xi glanced at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"that……"
My roommate quickly waved her hand and explained, "Don't look at the title! I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that this woman's emotional journey just happens to be like that... Anyway, her analysis is so good, you should check it out!"

Family members, does anyone understand?!
When I first saw the official announcement of "Our Past", I burst out laughing: even non-Fang Yucheng fans could feel that the production team was trying to ride on Fang Yucheng's popularity to the maximum extent. The person who managed to put Mu Jiu, Ling Zhao and Fang Yucheng in the same variety show is a genius.
However, I've been too busy with my current life, so I kept putting off the reaction until recently. Until I was kicked into a video by a strange comment from the Chaomu CP fans on the trending topics.
Yes, it's the one you're thinking of!
I clicked on "Our Past" with the mindset of "let's see what the production team is up to," and now it's 3 AM and I'm pounding my bed in frustration over the edited video!
Today, let's take a closer look at just how sinister this "Morning and Evening Couple" really is that made my face swell up like a pig's head!
P.S.: Spoiler alert! If you don't want to be spoiled, it's not too late to run away!
Also, I'm just a casual observer of this amazing couple, and I'm simply sharing my experience of getting hooked on this incredible pairing. I hope fellow fans will engage in friendly discussions and refrain from making disparaging remarks.
If there are any sweet treats I missed, please feel free to add them!

This is completely different from me!
At the beginning: Who exactly is shipping the morning and evening?
Later: Who hasn't been into morning and evening pills?

No, this is just too weird. I've never understood how people started shipping them. Don't you find it disgusting? One is a clingy simp, and the other is a cunning copycat. What's so great about that?

Life is getting better day by day, and even in small places, some people are drawn to the opportunity to acquire land.

I'm back!
In the first episode of "I'm Going," the very first scene shows all the guests, except for Chao Mu, arriving on time.
At the time, the poster was thinking, "These two are really daring to cause trouble, making two top celebrities and a group of talented artists just wait for them in the small house?"
When the scene suddenly changed, I was completely dumbfounded.
/picture
So that silly cover wasn't generated by AI?!
Who's the kind person who would step on a jack to change a tire on a dating reality show?
So, the reason why the fans of the Asagami/Murashi couple are so silly is because the celebrities themselves have some abnormal thoughts, right?
[OP's reply to OP]:
//I saw some people arguing in the thread, so I'll reiterate here: if you don't want spoilers, leave now, there's still time. Also, some people really shouldn't take advantage of the good temper of the Chaomu CP fans and promote their own products on other people's turf. I'll delete every single one of these posts I see here.

Pat the poster
Morning and evening are truly different (loud voice)
I really don't believe any other couple in the Chinese entertainment industry could create such a silly, unique, sweet yet slightly sarcastic, and slightly cheesy product.
[Original Poster]:
The original poster's message: I'm a seasoned shipper, don't think you can fool me with a little bit of artificial sweeteners.
The next second, we see Chaomu going grocery shopping with two top celebrities: (Image: A bewildered cat emoji)
The two scenarios were like a love story of reconciliation on one side and a burglary on the other. My mind was full of nitpicking, and I ended up laughing so hard I woke my parents up from their sleep next door in the middle of the night.
However, to be fair, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but when the other guests, including Ling Zhao, went to participate in the game, Mu Jiu, unaware of the situation, saw FYC downstairs and instinctively wanted to call out to Ling Zhao.
[00:05].mp4
To make it clearer for everyone, I've inserted a short, slow-motion clip.
I think I heard the pronunciation of "Ling" very clearly, and the mouth shape also showed that it was going to make a "Z" sound.
Because at this point, the poster hadn't seen what happened next, but just vaguely felt something was off. Once they saw what happened next, everyone would know.
[OP's reply to post #9]:
The main thing is that I've never seen anything so consistently abstract before.
[Original Poster]:
After all the trailers were released, the production team finally got to the point.
To summarize, here's a summary of my emotional journey while watching the show:
1. Fighting broke out, fighting broke out.
2. FYC and MSN seem to have a certain appeal.
3. Ling Zhaomu is actually her ex?!
4. This is pure industrial sugar...undiluted.
By the time I realized it, the scene in Chaomu's "Giant Sugar (or Giant Blade?)" was also the scene that got many people hooked: Ling Zhao's words after winning the beach volleyball match made me fall right into the bottom of Chaomu's pit.
As we all know, many variety shows are scripted.
However, I think that as long as the director is in the right mind, he would not have set up FYC to lose to Ling Zhao here. Moreover, FYC's fans should know better than us casual viewers how dedicated the idol is to his work. It is impossible that he deliberately threw the game.
And I agree with what the comments said. I can still believe Mu Jiu was acting, but Ling Zhao... don't they even consider whether he has any acting skills? /laughing and crying
Given this premise, I believe Ling Zhao was not prepared for victory at all.
That's why his words shocked me so much that I couldn't sleep all night and watched the recording again.

I became a fan during the part where I read the ex's letters. Although everyone who has climbed this thread should have seen Mu Jiu's expression when he saw the letters in a video, I still want to share it.
[Animated GIF].gif
So beautiful!!!
I hereby declare that Jiu Jiu is a pure and fragile fairy!
The unbelievable vulnerability of thinking I wasn't loved, only to discover that the other person actually loved me, coupled with the amazing background music in the show's edited version, made it impossible for me to know what had happened between the two of us, and I still burst into tears.
[OP's reply to post #12]:
Yes, this is a great place to watch.
However, I was still wary at the time, and kept thinking that the production team was trying to sabotage me. I behaved myself during the debriefing. /Sunglasses and crooked smile

Great post, I've bookmarked it and will be waiting for updates.
P.S.: Just borrowing this thread, does anyone have an analysis of the timeline of Chao Mu's romance? I've practically worn out all the edits and recordings of "I'm Going" by now.
If you want to do archaeology, you don't know where to start.

Replying to the upstairs post, pointing to the neighboring post // [Morning and Evening] Expired Candy Timeline Review - The child couldn't take it anymore after being ripped off, so expired candy is still candy (stuffed whole into mouth)
This post is dedicated to highlighting the matching items, Weibo posts, and sweet moments in interviews that Chaomu shared during their relationship.
Even if expired candy is still sweet, wouldn't the thought of them loving each other wholeheartedly and breaking up not because they stopped loving each other hurt them even more?
[15L replied to 14L]:
Doctor, you have a miracle cure!
I'd already had some candy next door and was feeling a bit better, but your comment made me feel unwell.
[Original Poster]:
Seeing that some people are analyzing the timeline, I'd also like to share my understanding of the two characters, Chao and Mu.
First of all, they're both awkward; they're actually stuck in the past and can't move on. They could pretend everything was fine until recently, but lately they're finding it increasingly difficult to keep up the act. /sarcasm
After watching these episodes, it's clear that Mu Jiu is the dominant one in the relationship.
Although both of them seemed fragile (?), Mu Jiu made a more decisive choice than Ling Zhao.
She took the initiative to confess her feelings, communicate with others, and even when they realized they couldn't continue the relationship, she was the one who initiated the breakup.
It's clear that Mu Jiu is very clear about what kind of relationship she wants and won't easily let external opinions influence her judgment. If a relationship can't continue, she won't belittle herself or her ex, demonstrating a high level of self-esteem.
Her attitude in comforting Xiang Wan on the show also shows that she doesn't get too caught up in internal conflicts.
People with these traits should theoretically be able to solve most problems in relationships, but she and Ling Zhao broke up.
Those who haven't watched the show might think Ling Zhao is a scumbag who has no feelings for Mu Jiu and treats her with cold violence. Or, knowing about the "son of a deadbeat" scandal, they might think this man is cowardly and irresponsible, which led to this ending.
But if I were to judge (this is purely subjective), Ling Zhao really is that kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't have the popularity he has now.
[Original Poster]:
Unlike Mu Jiu, Ling Zhao is the passive party in the relationship. From the fact that he proactively offered Mu Jiu a band-aid when he noticed her cut hand, and the gift he chose to give her in the third episode, it's clear that he is a very warm person.
Whether in everyday actions or in matters of the heart, he did his best to cooperate with Mu Jiu.
Incidentally, Ling Zhao showed absolutely no cooperation when facing the other female guests (this is another example of double standards).
Here I would also like to mention that many people suspect that the timing of the event was due to the script, and that Ling Zhao's interactions with the female guests in the early stages were too stiff.
I think it's precisely because he's very sensitive, has a strong sense of boundaries, and hasn't gotten over his previous relationship that he acts like a lifelong single, hopelessly straight man.
In addition, some people say that Ling Zhao hid behind Mu Jiu during Mu Jiu's live stream, but I think this is debatable.
I went through Ling Zhao's past social media accounts and found that since his debut, he has been smeared and defamed by marketing accounts five times (here we only count the account bought by a certain manager who recently had a scandal).
Ling Zhao publicly refuted the first three of these five rumors.
All I can say is, go look at the comments section of those debunking posts, and you'll see that no one says a word.
He has tried to express his views to the outside world, but it's clear he has never received a positive response. So, in his third year since his debut, he has stopped answering these public questions.
In addition, the trailer shows Ling Zhao thinking that Mu Jiu has "poor taste," which clearly shows his sense of unworthiness towards himself.
(Please don't get into arguments with FYC fans over this, since it seems like both companies are acting unethically. If we get involved in that discussion, we might be used as pawns.)

Didn't I come here for some sweets? Why did the poster suddenly shove a bag of knives into my mouth?!

!!
Everyone, hold off on reading the post for now! MG has released the ad and behind-the-scenes footage! This is divine!! I'm alive again after being torn apart by the latest episode's mix of sweetness and heartbreak!!!
Upon seeing this, Tan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and fragmented memories gradually returned.
Before she could react, her roommate, who had seen something, started jumping around and screaming, "Oh my god! MG is really my second parent!! Did Chaomu do it? This is what it looks like?!"
Tan Xi: "...Don't even think about things that can't pass censorship."
