Title: Have You Noticed That Every Celebrity Who Has Worked with Shen Yuan Ends Up Blowing Up?
Post 1, Original Poster:
At last year’s Venice Film Festival, Bian Mei wore a full set of ruby jewelry—and she ended up winning Best Actress against all odds! [Image]
Post 2, Original Poster:
Lu Xinyao, who became popular this year because of Little Sweetness—that drama was sponsored by Shen Yuan’s studio, and all the jewelry in the entire series was produced by them. Before it aired, who even knew this show existed? After it aired, ratings shot past 2%, and Lu Xinyao topped the V-ranking. That’s basically overnight fame, right? [Image]

He Jing doesn’t even need an introduction. One of the classic collaborations. Though to be fair, He Jing already showed signs of taking off back then. Now he’s long since become top-tier traffic. I’ve kept these GIFs all this time—they’re seriously dreamy and beautiful. [Image][Image][Image]

Shen Yuan personally designed jewelry for two historical dramas—one when he was still a sophomore in college, and one after founding his studio. How popular those two shows were doesn’t even need to be said. They’re still being rerun to this day. [Image][Image]

That ruby set was really gorgeous… it fit Bian Mei’s naturally seductive aura perfectly. Too bad there’s no lower-priced version sold in his shop.

When I first watched Chronicles of the Deep Palace, I didn’t even realize it at the time—who goes out of their way to look at props? But I remember thinking the production quality was amazing. Every set of jewelry the female lead wore was beautiful, and the hair and makeup were very classical. Not like so many historical dramas that just shove plastic feathers onto people’s heads.

I think there’s a jewelry shop in the Hanfu circle on Taobao whose designs look a lot like what Shen Yuan made for Chronicles of the Deep Palace. They just tweaked it a bit, and sales are insanely good… I’ve already emailed his studio, not sure if it’ll help. Piracy is disgusting! He should just sell official versions himself—I’d definitely buy them.

Official versions? Can you even afford the official stuff from his shop? Even the cheapest new items are six or seven hundred. Where are you getting anything for a hundred or less?

Wow, the trash antis in Post 6 showed up fast. Please—He Jing became popular because of his own hard work, okay? Gold shines sooner or later. What does that have to do with working with Shen Yuan? Tons of people have worked with He Jing. Stop trying to ride his coattails for clout. He’s already a married man, and there are still people forcing their CP—it’s unbearable.

The fans and antis are really fast, huh? Does the person above even understand what they read? No one said Shen Yuan made He Jing famous. Why are you so sensitive?

I just went to pour myself a glass of water—how did the thread derail this badly? He Jing fans and antis, stop hogging the thread, okay? This is a thread about Shen Yuan. I’ve deleted the image-spamming posts above.

Let me try to steer things back on topic. Here’s a promo photo from Shen Yuan’s solo exhibition at the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. He’s so handsome I want him to have my children. [Image]

Holy crap… I just wandered in here out of curiosity. I didn’t even know who this guy was. If you hadn’t told me, I’d have thought this was a still from some retro-era movie. That face and that figure… an industry outsider??? What a waste of talent!

Compared to him, I like his son Little Peanut even more. Little Peanut is my ideal pretty young boy—so sweet it hurts, 1551. [Image]

Post 94, Peanut’s Mother-in-Law:
I’m also a fan of his son. He’s ridiculously cute—completely melts your heart!!! The couple seems really busy lately; President Qiao hasn’t had time to film vlogs. The recent updates are all Little Peanut holding the phone himself—absolute death angles, yet his cuteness is unstoppable! His younger sister Little Rice Cake is also very pretty! Come cloud-raise kids with me!!! [Image][Image]

I used to be obsessed with watching Little Peanut’s videos too. After watching, I felt completely healed—so much that I wanted to immediately find a man and have a baby… then I looked in the mirror and instantly calmed down.

Why are you all derailing so hard? But Shen Yuan actually released themed jewelry for his two kids before—small gold locks, jade locks, silver locks, little bracelets, anklets, pendants, and small gold beads. The prices were really reasonable, not expensive at all. I even bought the Little Peanut same-style piece for my son. Hoping my kid grows up just as smart and cute, hehehehe.

Where did you buy it? Is it sold domestically?
Post 99, Anonymous:
I used a purchasing agent. Even with the agent fee it wasn’t expensive—about the same as local gold shops. And gold holds its value anyway.

You just gave me an idea! My little nephew is about to have his one-month celebration. I’m going to buy him a Little Peanut same-style bracelet.

If Dad, Where Are We Going? season X could invite Little Peanut, I’d watch every episode! Why don’t they invite him? He’s so popular… Aren’t people from Network X lurking on SJ Forum? Go invite them already! This rumor’s been around forever and still nothing…

Is that something money can even buy? President Qiao is insanely rich—it probably depends on his mood. He’s already amazing at raising kids; there’s no need for him to go on Dad, Where Are We Going? to learn parenting.
Post 434, Anonymous:
Speaking of which, President Qiao is truly the ultimate perfect husband—my ideal type. If my future child’s father cared even half as much as him, I’d be satisfied! And yet there are idiots online calling him a playboy, saying he had tons of lovers before, claiming the couple must each be doing their own thing… What kind of playboy gets certified as a maternity nanny for his wife and kids??? A bunch of jealous lemons who can’t stand seeing others happy.

I actually like President Qiao more. He really loves Shen Yuan. A dignified CEO in the prime of his career, yet he was willing to resign and stay home taking care of the kids for three or four years for Shen Yuan. But I feel like Shen Yuan doesn’t love him that much. He always talks about Shen Yuan, but Shen Yuan rarely mentions him. Feels like Shen Yuan married him for money. And both kids even have Shen Yuan’s last name.
Post 436, Anonymous:
Wow, that’s really sour. Were you hiding under their bed? How do you know they’re not truly in love? Are you even a fan of President Qiao? He clearly explained in a video why the kids are named that way—because “Shen Qiao Sheng” sounds smoother than “Qiao Shen Sheng.” And what era are we in? Why obsess over whose last name the kids take? What difference does it make?
Post 437, Anonymous:
You’re really good at taking things out of context. Is this about the name? It’s about President Qiao clearly giving more. I think Shen Yuan is too selfish.
Post 438, Anonymous:
Heh. You trash Shen Yuan—believe it or not, President Qiao would be the first to jump out and shut you down.
Post 439, Anonymous:
I didn’t even want to post Shen Yuan’s dirt. He obviously wants to be famous—yet he pretends to be this aloof, pure artist. And he used to latch onto other rich second-generation guys too; there are even photos dug up online. A man like that definitely can’t stand loneliness. I feel bad for President Qiao, treating him like a pure white lotus. I even think he’s a male version of Wendi Deng—once he finds his next patron, he’ll dump Qiao Hailou and switch men. Hope President Qiao wakes up soon.

Shen Yuan has won tons of design awards, okay??? Did you eat them all? You make it sound like his awards are fake. How is that “pretending to be an artist”? He is an artist!
Post 441, Anonymous:
Oh, all his major awards came after meeting Qiao Hailou. Qiao Hailou used to be the CEO of Splendor Jewelry—everyone knows that. Who knows how those awards really came about?
Post 442, Anonymous:
Are you insane? You’re seriously implying international jewelry design awards are rigged? You clearly haven’t even looked at Shen Yuan’s designs. Insulting him is one thing—don’t insult international competitions.

Good lord, it’s about to flip pages again. A civilian married couple like Qiao Hailou and Shen Yuan actually has fans emotionally invested like this? Over a thousand posts in one day—my god. The threads for my flop faves can’t even get off the ground.

Shen Yuan’s fans are super entertainment-industry-like. They even do super-topic rankings. I’ve been annoyed by him for a long time. Recently a bunch of newbies flooded into the jewelry design circle and completely messed up the atmosphere.
Post 1792, Anonymous:
Post 1791 is hilarious. Complaining that Shen Yuan’s fans ruined the atmosphere—how exactly? What was the “atmosphere” like before? Say it. It’s a commercial field—what kind of fake purity are you clinging to?

Fine, fine, you’re right. Shen Yuan’s fans really can’t be offended—not a single bad word allowed. Okay then, Shen Yuan is the world’s number one pure white lotus. Happy now?

I heard that this year’s national college entrance exam saw a big jump in applications for jewelry design majors. My sister studies jewelry design—she said recruitment used to be hard, and a lot of people were transfers. But in the past two years, the new students all applied voluntarily. When you ask them why, nine out of ten are Shen Yuan fans, and the last one is a hardcore fan. They all admire Shen Yuan and chose jewelry design because of him. Hopefully our country’s jewelry design industry keeps getting better and better.

Raising my hand—I don’t even know why, as someone who used to be a total passerby, I’ve been eating this gossip with such enthusiasm…

Alright, then I’ll organize the code, decorate things a bit, and open a new thread. The title will still be 【Have You Noticed That Every Celebrity Who Has Worked with Shen Yuan Ends Up Blowing Up 2.0】.
…
Although the title changed slightly, ever since Shen Yuan officially announced his return to the country, posts about him kept popping up nonstop across major forums.
The buzz around Shen Yuan, which had gone quiet for a while, was immediately stirred back up.
The “lucky koi” persona stuck to him. People realized that celebrities who worked with him really did seem to become popular. Right after that, even more celebrities began collaborating with Shen Yuan’s studio, wearing his jewelry on red carpets. Fans, after all, are a bit superstitious—they’d rather believe their idols might really get famous through some kind of mystical luck.
When Aunt Hui saw these posts online, written so confidently and convincingly, she was genuinely confused and went to ask Shen Yuan, “Is this actually true?”
Shen Yuan nearly spit out his drink and stared at her in shock. “Aunt Hui, I paid for this marketing! It’s fake! I made it up myself!”
Aunt Hui said, “I know, but it really feels like it kind of is true. Ever since I met you, my own luck seems better too… Have you ever had your fortune told? I know a master—should we go get your fortune read?”
Shen Yuan: “……”
Although Shen Yuan shamelessly poured a huge amount of money into hiring online trolls to hype himself up, among their family of four, the one with the highest genuine, water-squeezed online popularity wasn’t Shen Yuan at all—it was still his son Little Peanut, followed by Little Rice Cake.
Sometimes Shen Yuan felt that he himself was truly the embodiment of “being ashamed of strong promotion.”
