Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 298 - 297: CP Fans

Not long after these comments appeared, they blew up because the production team actually liked some of them.

It’s one thing if they accidentally liked one, but liking five or six comments indicates that it wasn’t accidental.

The production team was encouraging them to ship the CP!

Because of the production team’s actions and that behind-the-scenes footage, netizens went back to rewatch God and Demon Technique, focusing solely on Stacy Shields and Julian Ford’s scenes this time.

Then came the crazy editing, and although there weren’t many of their scenes, so what? There were definitely enough to make a few-minute-long video.

As long as they could edit it, they could ship the CP.

At first, they were heartbroken and cried their eyes out.

But after the video was edited by netizens, the tone dramatically changed.

It went from a path of sorrow to one of blushing and heart-throbbing feelings.

Netizens completely played around with it.

They even edited in similar characters from Jensen Sterling’s other dramas, creating an extravagant montage. Among these videos, the most popular one was edited by a user named Josie.

Yes, that person was Josie Yates.

Ever since she started shipping Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling, she became unstoppable. Though their shared screen time could be counted on one hand, she always managed to find sweet moments.

Even though she started shipping them over just one line, for some reason, the more she shipped, the more obsessed she became.

It was even better than those CPs who openly flaunted their sweetness, maybe because she uncovered these moments herself.

Especially after that fanart came out, she became even more invested. Interest in Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling surged.

For example, Jensen Sterling got Mia Sutton to join his company, then followed her, praised her, and supported her. (The CP I ship is real.)

The two walked the red carpet together. (That must have been intentional.)

They even had a supposed accidental encounter on Aethelgard’s campus (Josie Yates: Could that be accidental? Definitely premeditated.)

In short, every time the two appeared together, Josie Yates could feel something different from their interactions.

The only thing that saddened Josie Yates was the lack of CP fans; there just wasn’t much to enjoy.

The few that did exist were attracted by the fanart she commissioned from Aquawind.

After getting hooked, they had to scrape video content, and produce their own.

No fanart? They could commission it. No shared screen time? They could Photoshop. No fanfiction? They could write their own.

They carried the CP fandom on their shoulders.

Thinking about it, they were probably the most pitiful group of CP fans.

Everything had to be done by themselves.

However!

It’s a whole different story now.

When Josie Yates found out the two were in the same production, she was so happy she nearly flew off the ground.

The CP she shipped finally, finally had some interaction.

From the moment the audition video was released, she began to pay attention.

As a dedicated CP fan leader, she didn’t miss a single clue.

Right up until the final episodes of God and Demon Technique, Josie Yates was crying while shipping their CP. The angst was real, but she could still ship them.

And now, with the release of various edited videos, the CP fandom of Stacy Shields and Julian Ford has become quite large.

Even though everyone is only shipping the drama CP, it doesn’t matter; it’s still those two actors, still the same.

[With more CPs to ship, happiness never ends: Josie, look, at the video I just edited, how is it? Praise me, I even made myself swoon.]

Josie Yates held her phone, opened the video sent to her, and immediately her eyes sparkled.

Whoa, incredible!

They edited the last part of God and Demon Technique into it, along with all of their previous shared screen time, and Mia Sutton’s stage performance. All the usable footage was there.

They forcefully edited together a past and present story.

It told the story of how they couldn’t be together in their past lives, with plenty of angst, and the unresolved fate carried over to their current life, where the Demon Lord carries his memory searching for his little girl.

After searching for a long time, they finally met by chance in a selection show, then staged numerous "coincidences" that were absolutely premeditated.

Step by step, he lured the little bunny back into the wolf’s den.

To sum it all up in four words: too easy to ship!

Watching it made Josie Yates’ heart surge, whoa, she can do it.

She quickly typed: "This is too easy to ship, I’m so excited I could almost burst a blood vessel, quick, post this in the super topic, no one can escape the allure of the movie king and his little wife."

As she anticipated, as soon as the video was posted, a lot of comments flooded in.

[Sis, your editing is absolutely amazing, I’m a bit hooked after watching it, what do I do? I kind of want to ship the real CP now.]

[You’re still thinking about it, and I’m already taking action, ship it, follow your heart.]

[So sweet, that red carpet gaze, no matter how you look at it, Jensen is so tender.]

[That forehead kiss is killing me, and the moment that finger touches, oh my god, why do I feel the sensuality, it must be the editing.]

[Wuwuwu, whoa, what’s going on, what’s going on!!! Can I really watch this for free? I feel dirty, I’m not clean anymore.]

[Their looks match too well, what kind of celestial combination is this?]

[And Josie’s drawing, it’s absolutely incredible, combining purity with desire to such an extent, I truly admire it, I can imagine an entire drama from just this one image.]

[I even want to send this video and the drawing to Mia Sutton, begging for a second collaboration.]

Josie Yates, who was happily browsing comments, was startled by this one.

She quickly and seriously replied: [Sis, we can quietly ship by ourselves, don’t send it to Mia and disturb her.]

There’s an unspoken rule in the CP fan community: they ship quietly but don’t bother the real-life people involved.

Even though Josie Yates desperately hoped they were real, personal shipping and presenting it to them are two different things.

What if Mia, seeing it, got scared and avoided Jensen Sterling, then they’d have nothing to enjoy.

Such a terrible thing she absolutely wouldn’t allow to happen.

Plus, Jensen Sterling has a huge fan base, and if they bashed Mia for clout-chasing, she’d regret it to death.

The person responded to her comment: [Josie, I was just joking, just being silly, don’t worry, I know the rules.]

Only then was Josie Yates relieved.

She never imagined the drawing came from the CP she shipped.

Otherwise, she’d probably go crazy with excitement.

Suddenly, the number of CP fans for Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling surged. Though they couldn’t compare with the really popular CPs, it was much better than the miserable state before.

In the super topic, new fanfiction, video edits, and Photoshopped images appeared almost daily, and everyone was indulging in shipping blissfully.
