Just as Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan were enjoying smooth sailing in the entertainment industry, a sudden crisis quietly descended, like a storm, instantly shattering their peaceful performing life.
One day, rumors began circulating in the capital about Ling Yichen. It was said that a wealthy young lady had fallen head over heels for him after seeing his performance, and began frequently visiting the opera troupe, showering him with attention. There were even rumors that Ling Yichen had been seen meeting this young lady alone late at night, behaving intimately. These rumors spread like wildfire throughout the capital, quickly becoming the talk of the town.
When Jun Mo Ran first heard these rumors, he didn't pay much attention. He trusted Ling Yi Chen's character and thought they were just baseless rumors. However, as the rumors spread, he realized things weren't so simple. The opera troupe's performances began to be affected; some scheduled shows were canceled, and the audience's attitude changed noticeably. They whispered among themselves, pointed at Ling Yi Chen, and some even shouted at the opera troupe's entrance, demanding that Ling Yi Chen come out and explain.
Ling Yichen was deeply troubled, knowing full well the immense damage these rumors had caused to his and the opera troupe's reputation. He tried to explain to everyone that it was merely a chance encounter, and that he had no special relationship with the young lady. But faced with the vortex of public opinion, his explanations seemed utterly weak and powerless.
Amidst this scandal, fans of the Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran couple were severely impacted. Some fans began to waver, unable to accept that their perfect couple was embroiled in rumors. In various social settings and fan gathering places, discussions about their couple were no longer filled with sweetness and anticipation, but rather with doubt and arguments.
"I always thought that Young Master Ling and Young Master Jun were truly in love, but I never expected that Young Master Ling would have an affair with someone else." A fan of the couple said disappointedly.
“Maybe we’ve all been fooled by their performance; the so-called CP (couple pairing) is just a publicity stunt,” another fan chimed in.
A split has emerged within the CP (couple) fan community. Some choose to continue believing in them, convinced that it's just a misunderstanding; while others angrily unfollow them and even start posting defamatory comments about Ling Yichen and Jun Moran online.
Jun Mo Ran watched all this with deep concern. He knew that if this crisis wasn't resolved in time, not only would Ling Yi Chen's acting career suffer a severe blow, but their friendship and the carefully cultivated on-screen couple image would also be destroyed. Therefore, he decided to step forward, help Ling Yi Chen find out the truth, and clear his name.
Jun Mo Ran began to inquire about the background and whereabouts of the wealthy heiress. He discovered that this heiress was named Su Yao, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital, who was always willful and spoiled and loved chasing after celebrities. Jun Mo Ran suspected that all of this might have been deliberately arranged to damage Ling Yi Chen's reputation.
During the investigation, Jun Mo Ran discovered some clues. It turned out that Su Yao had a close relationship with another artist, Lin Yu. Lin Yu had always been jealous of Ling Yi Chen and Jun Mo Ran's popularity, especially their on-screen couple status, making him feel overshadowed. Jun Mo Ran speculated that Lin Yu might have instructed Su Yao to deliberately create rumors to smear Ling Yi Chen.
Jun Mo Ran found Lin Yu and confronted him about whether he was involved in the scandal. Lin Yu initially denied it, but after Jun Mo Ran presented some evidence, he finally admitted to his actions.
"Jun Mo Ran, what makes you think you can monopolize the limelight in the entertainment industry? I just want to teach Ling Yi Chen a lesson, to let him know that not just anyone can thrive in this circle," Lin Yu said viciously.
Jun Mo Ran said angrily, "Lin Yu, your behavior is utterly despicable and shameless. Do you think you can suppress us with such means? You are wrong. We will definitely expose your conspiracy and make you receive the punishment you deserve."
Jun Mo Ran exposed Lin Yu's conspiracy to the public. At the same time, Ling Yi Chen also stepped forward and explained in detail the true situation between him and Su Yao. It turned out that Su Yao did come to see him that night, but only to ask him to perform at her family banquet. Due to the tight schedule, they discussed the details late at night, and the so-called intimate behavior was just a misunderstanding.
As the truth came to light, public opinion gradually shifted. Some audience members who had initially been skeptical of Ling Yichen began to re-evaluate him, and the troupe's performances gradually returned to normal. However, the crisis still left them with some lingering effects.
Although most of the CP fans have returned, a shadow still lingers in their hearts. They have become more sensitive and vulnerable, paying closer attention to Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran's words and actions, fearing a similar crisis might occur again. Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran also realize that although their positions in the entertainment industry seem stable, they are actually full of uncertainties, and any slight disturbance could cause a huge uproar.
To repair their relationship with their CP (couple) fans, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran decided to hold a fan meeting. At the meeting, they sincerely apologized to their fans and thanked them for their support and trust during the crisis. Ling Yichen said, "This incident has made us deeply realize that every action we take can affect everyone's feelings. We will cherish everyone's love even more and strive to bring you more and better works."
Jun Mo Ran also stated, "Our friendship is real and unwavering, and the CP image is not just a publicity stunt, but rather an emotional resonance we show in our performances. We hope everyone can continue to believe in us and walk with us on our future acting journey."
The fans were touched by their sincerity, and enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience. This fan meeting alleviated the CP crisis to some extent, but Ling Yichen and Jun Moran knew that they needed to work even harder to maintain their image and reputation in order to have a long-term foothold in the complex and ever-changing ancient entertainment industry.
After weathering this scandal in the entertainment industry, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran became more mature and cautious. They understood that the path in the entertainment industry is full of thorns and challenges, and only by staying true to their original aspirations and supporting each other could they forge ahead through the storms and continue writing their own glorious chapter. Their relationship with their CP fans was also tested and strengthened during this crisis, becoming a vital force for their continued progress in the entertainment industry.
