Could this be a pairing? (Please add to your favorites)

The plan was clear and precise. The immortal cheerfully took the responsibility for uncovering Lu Yiqing’s secrets. With the immortal’s promise in hand, Su Yunjin’s life continued in an orderly manner over the next few days.

After the second episode of the "Center Girl Group" ended, she immediately threw herself into preparations for the third. Within a week, Su Yunjin had mastered her tasks, handling both work and daily life with ease.

Occasionally, she glanced at news online. Yet, nothing particularly noteworthy surfaced in the past few days. A few entertainment industry tidbits piqued her interest—she brought them up with Liang Feiyue and the others as idle conversation.

The rule in showbiz was to never discuss the circle’s affairs with outsiders, but for those within, gossip was a leisurely pastime. After all, celebrities are just people—human curiosity is inevitable. Especially when so close to the action, to claim ignorance like a nun unaffected by the world was something 99% could never achieve.

Su Yunjin, raised with a disciplined mind, could take or leave such gossip and rumors. Yet, now that she was immersed in worldly affairs, she preferred to know more—it gave her common ground for conversation.

“You mean that Yifeng?” Liang Feiyue scoffed. “He’s so arrogant. Back when I was in the same crew as him, you wouldn’t believe it—he had over ten assistants by his side.”

The person in trouble was Liu Yifeng, nominally an actor but in truth a celebrity riding the wave of popularity. His scandal was no different from others in the circle—money had led him astray.

Romantic scandals were a blow for anyone, but especially so in entertainment, where everything happened under the spotlight. Even minor actions could be amplified endlessly; something as trivial as spitting in public could be interpreted as a sign of poor character.

This time, Liu Yifeng’s scandal triggered a wave of ridicule across the internet. Fans abandoned him, his fan club replaced their avatars with black images, and the entire web was ablaze.

Su Yunjin had intended only to chat casually, but had not expected Liang Feiyue to have worked with him.

“Ten assistants? Was he running a care home?” Su Yunjin was incredulous. Though she knew the entertainment world was restless, she hadn’t realized it could be this excessive.

Even the Seven Sects, with their vast domains, never had anyone requiring ten assistants. The most popular branches, Grandpa Five’s Medical Hall and Grandpa Three’s Daoist Hall, only had two or three disciples handling daily chores.

Ten assistants… Was this madness?

Su Yunjin gasped in astonishment, her expression amusing Liang Feiyue. “That’s nothing. There are far more outrageous cases.

Some treat themselves like princesses in hotels, forbidding assistants from eating or sleeping. Others bring their entire household onto set, filming with a dozen people in tow—including their nanny.”

“And the crews indulge them?” Su Yunjin was speechless.

“They don’t want to, but there’s no choice. Nowadays in China, popularity is king, especially in the film industry.” Liang Feiyue smiled wryly, recalling the sordid affairs in the circle, her face full of helplessness.

Su Yunjin refrained from probing further, and the topic of Liu Yifeng’s scandal faded.

That night, Su Yunjin went online to catch up on the drama. The incident was so serious that all of Liu Yifeng’s films and shows were taken offline.

Fortunately, after becoming famous, Liu Yifeng hadn’t focused much on work. Of his few projects, only one or two were beloved by viewers.

His breakout role was excluded—it had been taken down thanks to another actress’s involvement.

Still, many fans felt wronged on behalf of the supporting actors in the other works. Clearly, it was Liu Yifeng’s fault, yet their favorite actors had to bear the consequences—this was hard to accept.

The uproar was intense, and Su Yunjin relished the spectacle, fully embracing her role as an onlooker. She soon noticed an interesting phenomenon: while Liu Yifeng was at the center of the scandal, the real winner was a certain actress.

Interviews with her about “being picky with scripts, teams, and people” were everywhere. No one knew where these interviews originated, but tonight their views soared.

The drama lasted through the night. By ten o’clock, Su Yunjin’s eyes could barely stay open, yet the online frenzy showed no sign of waning.

The next day, after her morning routine, Su Yunjin went online again—only to discover that Liu Yifeng’s official girlfriend had emerged!

Whether out of revenge or not, she published a lengthy post fiercely denouncing her scumbag boyfriend.

This added yet another label to Liu Yifeng’s already tarnished reputation.

Su Yunjin, entertained, admired the girlfriend’s eloquence—though her tone was somewhat resentful.

With little spare time each day, following Liu Yifeng’s scandal had already consumed nearly two days.

Beyond the online rumors, she had heard even more explosive inside information from her friends.

Compared to ex-girlfriend drama online, the news from Liang Feiyue was far juicier.

Especially since Wang Tao loved a lively discussion, the group soon unearthed every shocking detail.

By now, however, things had settled down.

Su Yunjin ceased being a mere spectator and returned her focus to daily life.

On the eighth, Su Yunjin finally received the immortal’s file.

“Darling, what’s going on? Are you sure your grandparents really knew everything when they arranged your marriage? I feel like they’re no different from ordinary elders.”

As soon as Su Yunjin got the file, the immortal called, nearly in tears with frustration.

“Hm? What do you mean?” Su Yunjin was puzzled.

The immortal continued her lament, “Look at the file—Lu Yiqing has never had a girlfriend in over twenty years.

Darling, honestly, it’s the twenty-first century. A man, a rich heir, and not a single girlfriend in twenty years? What’s that about? He’s probably gay, right?”

“No girlfriend?” Su Yunjin was shocked, opening the file at once.

Sure enough, the first item on Lu Yiqing was a record of zero romantic history.

Su Yunjin was stunned. “How is that possible? I thought he had some secret love and resented me for intruding.”

“Darling, secret loves can be male or female, you know.” The immortal was speechless.

Today, she was truly baffled—a man who’s been single for twenty years defies explanation.

Moreover, throughout Lu Yiqing’s life, that Pei Xuan was always by his side.

Over the past twenty years, Pei Xuan had countless women around him, but none lasted more than a month.

Only Lu Yiqing had stayed—childhood friends, both boys. That’s not impossible at all!
