A black SUV pulled up in the open space before the villa. The doors opened, and a man and woman stepped out one after the other—the last pair of real married guests from the production team.

The man was Jiang Beinian, and the woman was Chen Yi. They had played the male and female leads in an extremely popular youth film five years ago. The film's protagonists had lost to reality and ultimately failed to end up together, but Chen Yi and Jiang Beinian, who had met through that film, fell in love and eventually entered into marriage. Naturally, viewers who had been unable to move on from the film's ending became Chen Yi and Jiang Beinian's CP fans.

They were the only married couple in the entertainment industry with over ten million CP fans. Their CP fans even outnumbered their individual fans, and fans called them the Year Couple.

After getting married, Jiang Beinian and Chen Yi often shared snippets of their married life with fans. The little details they casually revealed were like something out of an idol drama, sweet enough to exceed the limit. Netizens therefore called them the sweetest couple in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Beinian pushed open the villa's front door for Chen Yi and bent slightly at the waist. "Ladies first."

Chen Yi froze for a moment before walking into the villa. Seemingly embarrassed, she said, "Hurry up and stand straight. We're already an old married couple—don't let people laugh at us."

Jiang Beinian quickly caught up, half-wrapping an arm around Chen Yi. He patted her head and said, "You're my wife. Serving you is only natural. Other people would be jealous if anything."

A flood of pink bullet comments swept across the screen—

[Ahhh! As expected of our Year Couple! That natural, unspoken understanding that belongs only to the two of them, those interactions that look like mutual disgust but are actually flirting—so sweet!]

[The Year Couple really never disappoints! Everyone, I believe in love again!]

[Friends, you absolutely won't regret becoming Year CP fans! Real married couples will never break up! Raise the CP banner and charge!]

Jiang Beinian and Chen Yi were the same age. Five years ago, they had both been in their early twenties, while now they were twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He looked refined, so declarations that sounded like something a domineering CEO would say did not come across as greasy. Instead, they seemed somewhat humorous and charming.

A producer came over carrying a box. "Teachers, phones can't be used during filming. Sorry for the trouble, but please place your phones in here. We'll keep them safe for you."

Jiang Beinian and Chen Yi already knew about this rule and nodded.

They put their phones inside, but Jiang Beinian suddenly remembered something. "Wait, I just remembered that I haven't called my mother to let her know I'm safe yet. Can I make a call first?"

The producer nodded and handed his phone back to him.

Jiang Beinian took the phone. Perhaps mindful of the cameras, he went out into the courtyard before making the call.

"Mom, Chen Yi and I have arrived."

"Mm, don't worry. Chen Yi is here—she'll take good care of me."

The man's voice drifted from the first-floor courtyard in all directions, slipping through a half-open window on the third floor.

Chu Xiyue heard the unfamiliar voice and glanced outside, only to see an unfamiliar man below.

He was probably a new guest.

Not particularly interested, Chu Xiyue pulled her head back in and continued catching up on gossip online.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Another artist has come forward to accuse Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin of forcing artists to entertain clients with drinks. This makes twelve already, doesn't it?"

"The identities of all those President Wangs, President Lius, President Hes, and President Xiaos in the chat logs seem to have been dug up. Huh? This President He is actually Azure Sea Entertainment's vice president. He used to constantly market himself online as a henpecked husband, but who knew he was this kind of person behind the scenes? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"This President Liu married into his wife's family! Now that this has been exposed, his father-in-law and mother-in-law directly kicked him out of the company. He totally deserved it!"

Just as Chu Xiyue was immersed in the gossip, she noticed that the content of the phone call downstairs seemed to have changed.

"Darling, I'm going abroad on a business trip for a while. Let's talk again in half a month."

"I'll bring you a gift when I get back. Remember to miss me."

Chu Xiyue assumed it was another staff member making a call. Still absorbed in the gossip, she did not pay it any attention.

It was not until a staff member knocked on her door to remind her that filming was about to begin that Chu Xiyue reluctantly went downstairs.

Chu Xiyue found that there was now an extra man and woman in the living room. After thinking for two seconds, she realized that they should be the new guests arriving today.

With an obedient expression, Chu Xiyue greeted the new guests. "Hello, teachers. I'm Chu Xiyue. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."

"Hello, I'm Chen Yi." Chen Yi waved at Chu Xiyue. Her gaze landed on Chu Xiyue's face, and undisguised amazement filled her expression. "You're really beautiful."

Jiang Beinian glanced at Chu Xiyue's features, then looked away and gave her a polite nod. "Hello, I'm Jiang Beinian."

Chu Xiyue's expression suddenly turned a little strange. "System, why does his voice sound familiar?"

[Ah, Host, isn't he the person who was just making a phone call in the courtyard? Isn't his wife here? Then who was the darling he called on the phone?]

Chu Xiyue did not know, but she could smell gossip!

The system muttered to itself as it looked up information. After a while, it suddenly said excitedly, [Host, this married couple has some juicy gossip!]

[This couple, known as the sweetest couple in the entertainment industry, is actually going through divorce proceedings recently. This man is a mama's boy. Not only is he a mama's boy, he's also unfaithful and often flirts with other women online. A few days ago, his wife caught him red-handed. She had long since had enough of him, so she took the opportunity to ask for a divorce. Once this show ends, they'll go get their divorce certificate.]

[Jiang Beinian was just calling the person he'd been flirting with. But he doesn't know that the person he thinks is an innocent female college student has set an online scam tea-seller trap for him. The other party is actually a burly man who picks at his feet!]

(Start of reverse VIP chapters)

A burly man who picked at his feet?

Chu Xiyue's gaze fell on Jiang Beinian's face. Thinking of how he had called that flirting partner darling over and over on the phone earlier, her expression immediately became somewhat subtle.

Chu Xiyue curiously asked the system, "Is Jiang Beinian planning to marry that flirting partner after his divorce?"
