CompletedA 28-year-old top celebrity actress Jiang Mo, entangled in a massive compensation scandal after a brand endorsement failed, saw her career plummet.
Tapping through occult posts she uncovered one advice: 'Grow ginger, cultivate Lù Gēn, recite Tao Te Ching to change fortune.'
She secretly buried ginger blocks on her balcony and chanted daily to her flower pots.
Forced onto a variety show 'Science Meets Art' she entered the National Data Science Center, paired with the 32-year-old chief researcher Shen Zhiyan — a man adept at knitting sweaters, brewing养生汤(herbal soups), and writing statistical love poetry.
Production aimed to capture clash between a humanities artist and scientist but instead captured scenes like —
Jiang Mo prostrating before her ginger chanting: 'The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao….'
Shen Zhiyan handing over a report: '30-day observation; correlation between root growth and humidity is 0.7.'
When capital schemed to suppress her again, Shen launched modeling software: 'To break the deadlock, we must first prove the probability that you love me exceeds 0.5.'
