Well, it’s certainly out with the old and in with the new. This week C-ent has seen another fight between the fandoms of Zhao Li Ying and Lin Geng Xin, the popular and successful costars of the xianxia romance drama The Legend of Shen Li which aired earlier this year. The CP shipping was strong for the drama both organic from viewers and of course buoyed by the respective fandoms as it’s always good buzz and keeps the stars high on searches and interest. Recently Lin Geng Xin has gone out of his way to basically dismantle the CP of Shen Li making it clear it’s not possible and the reason he did it proactively rather than let the ship die with time is that next month in June the big budget C-drama The Tale of Rose with Crystal Liu will air and he’s one of the four male leads. His team wants him free for any drama shipping on that drama to help the ratings and buzz and he’s fine with that, and all the single male leads of Rose are very respective to Crystal’s team and will let her side generating any CP shipping as wanted. This has upset of Zhao Li Ying’s fandom who are badmouthing Lin Geng Xin as a user who cuts the bridge down after he’s crossed it, i.e done using Zhao Li Ying and then cuts her loose.
