Shoutout to nyanmaru for the commission!
@LawStudentXiaoZhao, a top law Ph.D. from a leading domestic university, gained fame on a legal education program due to his good looks and solid expertise. Although he rarely updates due to academic commitments, his followers have only increased.
Now, with his latest post involving a hot topic, it quickly soared to trending.
【@LawStudentXiaoZhao: I hadn’t been online for a while, and only just found out there was another big stir in the entertainment industry. It wasn’t related to me, but seeing so many people saying Ye Yunqing is an orphan and comes from ‘poor origins,’ and is unworthy of someone, it made me laugh! Sorry, but according to that outdated feudal theory you have, Ye Yunqing’s background is much more ‘noble’ than some people’s!
First of all, Director Chu and Ye Yunqing’s parents are not only old acquaintances but also social friends.
Ye Yunqing’s mother came from an artistic family; his grandparents were renowned conductors and pianists. /image×2
I vaguely remember Sun Ruru, a guest on ‘The Wonderful Moon,’ once said in an interview that her idol was Ye Yunqing’s grandmother. Yet, she was rather sarcastic about Ye Yunqing on the show. I wonder what she thinks now that she knows the truth.
Speaking of Ye Yunqing’s mother, she studied ballet from a young age, went abroad thirty years ago, and became a principal dancer in an internationally renowned ballet troupe, bringing glory to the country. Later, she returned to China when she was pregnant, teaching at the capital University of Art, and her photo is still displayed on the honor wall at the capital’s University of Art. /image×2】
Ye Yunqing’s father is a firefighter who has received top honors and first-class merit for his bravery in multiple rescue missions.
Twenty years ago, during a major explosion at a factory in City A, uncle was a frontline fire commander who discovered the risk of a secondary explosion early on. He took urgent measures to minimize casualties and damage. Nineteen years ago, during a severe mountain flood disaster in County X, City A, uncle sacrificed his life while saving others and was buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery. All these events are supported by news reports and certificates of honor. Insulting martyrs and their families is punishable by law, so please be aware!
So, what do you think? According to some people’s standards of social status, isn’t Ye Yunqing’s background more “noble” than many others? His father was a hero who sacrificed his life to protect the people, yet you mock him as an orphan—how brazen!
Don’t use your ignorance to excuse yourself. If you don’t know, why make judgments and point fingers?
Now let’s talk about Ye Yunqing himself. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the top student in his grade. He won numerous awards in dance from a young age and entered the capital’s University of Art with top scores in both cultural and professional subjects. /image×2
Later, due to health reasons, he had to give up dance. On the advice of his professor, he switched to performance studies and graduated last year with top marks in his major. His first film role won him the Best Newcomer Award. Isn’t that outstanding? /image×2
Some people disparage him endlessly, but why don’t you show us your own achievements and qualifications?
Finally, I advise some people not to view the world through the lens of “I am the world” or to speculate about others using conspiracy theories from the entertainment industry. If Ye Yunqing were really “seeking fame and profit,” wouldn’t he use any of the above points to gain publicity?
Being an actor is just a profession. He quietly acts in films and happily married and raised a child. He is not obligated to be responsible for all your likes and dislikes just because you spent a few dollars on a movie ticket.
Faced with the overwhelming evidence of news reports and award photos, netizens reacted with shock, and critics fell silent.
Fans liked, commented, and shared extensively while expressing sympathy for Ye Yunqing’s background, and they turned their anger on those who criticized him.
@LawStudentXiaoZhao also replied to two comments:
@LawStudentXiaoZhao replied to @YSomebodyQuitEntertainment: “I’m not a fan, and I’m not trying to gain attention. As a senior of Ye Yunqing and Cheng Jingyao from high school, and knowing Ye Yunqing’s father’s comrades, am I not qualified to clarify this for him?”
@LawStudentXiaoZhao replied to @AntiFanGoAway: “Ye Yunqing’s grandparents, I suggest you don’t investigate them.”
The more some people were advised not to dig, the more they dug. But when they really looked, they found no clues, which was quite disturbing.
Netizens had to believe Xiao Zhao’s words. Ye Yunqing’s background was even more impressive than they had imagined. If he really relied on his background to make a name in the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t allow himself to be blackened repeatedly, nor would he need to “seduce” Cheng Jingyao for resources.
Xiao Zhao’s Weibo post was made with good intentions. He had contacted Ye Yunqing beforehand. Ye Yunqing hadn’t planned to publicly reveal his family background, but the malicious speculation and defamation made him uncomfortable. Since a friend was willing to help, he appreciated the gesture and thanked him privately, leaving the subsequent handling to his manager.
Cheng Jingyao then shared and liked the post with his main account and did not respond further.
As Xiao Zhao’s post gained traction, Ye Yunqing’s fans were relieved and discovered new things.
【Ah, Qingqing’s family genes are so superior! Handsome men and beautiful women, wife is stunning beyond measure.】
【To those who spread rumors about Ye Yunqing having plastic surgery, open your eyes and see! Ye Yunqing clearly inherited his father’s handsomeness and his mother’s beauty, with all the best features!】
【Wait! I just realized something?! Ye Yunqing’s father is named Ye Xiangyang, and the name of Ye Yunqing’s first film is ‘Xiangyang’!】
【Indeed! I just thought of the movie poster’s tagline, which is said to be Ye Yunqing’s idea.】
【May every child be born and live in Sunshine.】
【May every child be born and live in Sunshine.】×9
【Thinking about Ye Yunqing’s background, I suddenly understand the meaning of this phrase: After losing his parents, he has always used them as a model, living in Sunshine.】
【Wuwu, wife, I’ll go beat up the haters a hundred times.】
【Suddenly, I understand why my wife adopted Tuntun. Though my wife seems aloof, he has a really soft heart.】
【Wow! CP fans, come quickly! Someone dug up my wife’s high school grades and even found old fan fiction about the Jingxing Qingyun couple. Haha……】
【??? So, Jingxing was already into this couple early on?】
【@JingxingQingyun, bow to the family’s ancestors, please bless us with food.】
【Forwarding @JingxingQingyun: #TwinStarsCampusHeartthrobs# ‘The top student doesn’t have to be me, but it must be my wife’ (sweet and clear)……】
【What is it? What is it! That makes the current Jingxing so popular?】
【It’s us! It’s us who are eagerly waiting!】

The next morning, at the Chu family house, the family was having breakfast.
The Chu family’s housekeeper made top-notch Cantonese-style dim sum pastries. Each time Tuntun came over, she made all the pastries in small sizes so he could try a variety.
Tuntun, who loved them, happily wiggled his little feet as he ate.
Chu Lan, seeing him enjoy the food, was also happy and gave him a piece of coconut cake. Her phone suddenly vibrated with a video call invitation.
Chu Lan frowned slightly, glanced at her son, and let the phone ring for a while before answering, positioning the camera towards Tuntun: “Come, Tuntun, say hello to Grandpa.”
Cheng Jingyao hesitated for a moment, picked up a bowl, and sat on the other side of Ye Yunqing, refusing to be on camera.
On the other end of the video call, Cheng Hui noticed Cheng Jingyao’s figure briefly appear in the frame. His expression momentarily stiffened but quickly regained composure, with a gentle smile and a particularly warm tone: “Tuntun, do you remember Grandpa?”
Tuntun blinked, his gaze somewhat unfamiliar, but he soon remembered, smiling sweetly, “Grandpa~”
“Eh!” Cheng Hui smiled and began chatting with Tuntun, “What did you have for breakfast, dear?”
Tuntun: “I had cakes, porridge, and shrimp dumplings…”
At the other end of the table, Ye Yunqing covered Cheng Jingyao’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
At this moment, Cheng Jingyao’s WeChat also received a video call invitation from his older brother, Cheng Jingxuan.
It was evening on Cheng Jingxuan’s side. He was wearing a bathrobe, seemingly preparing for bed. His appearance was between Cheng Hui and Cheng Jingyao—softer than the former and more mature than the latter. He wore a pair of rimless glasses and smiled slightly upon seeing Cheng Jingyao and Ye Yunqing.
Cheng Jingxuan: “Are you at Mom’s place?”
Cheng Jingyao: “Yes.”
Cheng Jingxuan: “How have you been lately? Have you encountered any trouble?”
Cheng Jingyao: “Not much, everything’s fine.”
Cheng Jingxuan: “Then why is someone crossing the ocean to make trouble for you in front of Dad and me?”
Cheng Jingyao frowned: “What do you mean?”
Cheng Jingxuan curled his lips, “They said you wanted to ‘usurp the throne.'”
